I liked the story line to this anime. I like how it flowed nicely form the previous seires. What I like about the story line is that the main characters are trying to fulfill one main goal in thier life. The animation of this anime is really good. I like the details in the characters and also the details in the scenary. This anime has very good theme songs, such as the opening song and some of the ending songs. I also love some of the battle songs which in my opinion do not drown out the characters voices. I love most of the characters in this anime but there are some characters that I really want to die because they really piss me off. But overall this is a fairly good anime.

"Aquarion Evol" - A Mecha Romance with Flashes of Brilliance - 6/10

Story: 6/10 "Aquarion Evol" presents a world where humanity faces threats from mysterious creatures known as Abductors. To combat this menace, the humans pilot giant robots called Aquaria, which can combine to form the legendary Aquarion. The story follows Amata Sora, a young man with the unique ability to merge with a female pilot, Mikono, forming Aquarion Evol. While the premise is intriguing and the mecha battles are visually stunning, the narrative occasionally stumbles due to convoluted plot twists and melodrama. Character motivations can be perplexing, and the pacing is uneven, swinging between engaging action sequences and moments of over-the-top emotion. Nevertheless, the series manages to explore themes of love, destiny, and identity, earning a story rating of 6 out of 10.

Animation: 7/10 The animation in "Aquarion Evol" is a highlight of the series. The mecha battles are beautifully choreographed, featuring intricate and fluidly animated sequences. The designs of the Aquaria and Abductors are creative, and the transformations into the Aquarion are visually impressive. Character designs are distinct, and the use of vibrant colors adds to the overall appeal. While the animation quality remains consistent, some may find the character expressions overly exaggerated during emotional moments. Overall, the animation enhances the series' visual appeal and earns a rating of 7 out of 10.

Sound: 6/10 Sound design in "Aquarion Evol" effectively complements the action and emotional moments. The soundtrack features grand and epic tracks during mecha battles, enhancing their intensity. Voice acting is competent, with characters' voices conveying their emotions and personalities. However, the series occasionally veers into melodramatic territory, which may affect the sound's impact during these moments. Sound effects during battles add to the excitement, though they might not introduce anything particularly groundbreaking. While the sound succeeds in creating a suitable atmosphere, it doesn't necessarily stand out, warranting a sound rating of 6 out of 10.

Characters: 6/10 The characters in "Aquarion Evol" are a mixed bag. Amata Sora and Mikono are engaging protagonists who grapple with their destinies and the mysteries surrounding their powers. The series introduces a diverse cast of supporting characters, each with their unique abilities and quirks. However, character development can be uneven, with some characters receiving more attention than others. Additionally, the love triangles and emotional conflicts can become overwrought and melodramatic at times. While there are moments of genuine depth and connection between characters, they can be overshadowed by exaggerated emotional outbursts. The characters receive a rating of 6 out of 10.

Overall: 6/10 "Aquarion Evol" is a mecha romance anime that combines stunning animation with a convoluted but occasionally engaging narrative. While the mecha battles are a visual treat and the central romance provides moments of heartfelt connection, the series is not without its flaws. The story's convoluted twists and melodrama may deter some viewers, and character development can be uneven. Nevertheless, "Aquarion Evol" manages to explore themes of love and destiny within a mecha-driven world. With its mix of strengths and weaknesses, it earns an overall score of 6 out of 10 in my assessment.
