Editor's Note

Shoji Kawamori directs this nail-biting anime series about a mechanical angel named Aquarion, whose responsibility includes saving the world 11 years after the Shadow Angel's invasion.

Features

Episode 01 - Memories of Heavenly Wings

When the Shadow Angels invade after 12,000 years of slumber, humanity is held captive by fear and sheer alien dominance. Eleven years after the Great Catastrophe decimated the world, most of those left alive are scavengers, dirty and starving in the streets. There is hope, however - Mechanical Angel Aquarion: Three sleek war ships flown by touched souls known as Elements. Through the perfect joining of hearts, bodies and souls, the sum of the formidable parts can be unstoppable. One feral young man, Apollo, could be the prophesized missing piece that finally completes Aquarion. Ultimate strength through unity?

Episode 02 - Beast of Darkness

The enemy rises from slumber, only to learn that his greatest foe has been resurrected, the Solar Wing. Across the galaxy, Aquarion defends humanity from the merciless alien harvest. The Elements lose their edge and their souls unravel, opening the door to their own destruction. As Apollo joins the fight, so too does an interloper from across the stars. The light that comes from darkness, the light that created the universe is released by a voice from the ages. Aquarion is torn asunder, unified force ripped apart. When the smoke clears, a new era begins.

Episode 03 - Element School

The new class of Element recruits report for duty and Apollo is among them, making some of the more experienced pilots touchy. Apollo only wants access to Aquarion to save his best friend, but before he can take the controls again he?ll need a lesson in partnership and trust. The simulation training is rigid? But simulation and reality are two different things. When an alien harvesting team appears in the city, veteran and rookie alike are pushed to the limits. What at first is a grand victory can quickly transform into tragedy. Progress is made, but it?s too soon for celebration.

Episode 04 - Barefoot Warrior

Within his wild heart, Apollo feels the harsh separation from his best friend Baron, who has been harvested by the Shadow Angels. The winged aliens convene and one known as Toma announces his holy dream - A vision that foretells the Earth?s resurrection as a thing of beauty by utilizing the heralded Solar Wing. Back on the ruined planet, the recruits undergo a strange training exercise at the will of Gen Fudo, their new commander. Paying attention to the odd lesson might mean surviving or perishing. Another Aquarion sortie allows the pilots a chance to turn practice into practical strategy. Lessons are taught for a reason.

Episode 05 - King of the Underground Labyrinth

Apollo is lurking around the base looking for the Vectors and the commander has turned his AWOL status into a training exercise for the other recruits: Find Apollo! It won?t be as easy as it sounds to track this boy through the pits and mazes of the grounds; traps are plentiful and the prey is wily. His motivations for vanishing are personal, and his vendetta puts the whole team at risk. While humans are plucked from their beds as they sleep, new heroes vow to end the madness and bring the victims back to Earth. The goal is set, the target is Atlandia.


	Episode 06 - To the Other Side of Emotions

The Elements continue with their training, faced with new and ever more difficult challenges. In order to truly be effective against the Shadow Angels, they must learn to harness their emotions, to attack without reservation. Apollo and the other recruits begin work on their telekinetic abilities, enhancing the powers of their imaginations and spirits. When perfected, these new techniques bind partners closer, an intimate connection easily transferred into fighting strategy. The fighters will have to overcome space and time, unchanging and mysterious both like the moon above, if they wish to defeat a treacherous foe.

Episode 07 - Knight of the Crimson Rose

As the pressure for perfect unity mounts, the recruits? feelings are getting ragged. Everybody believes in their own legends and philosophies, but such disparate hearts will not combine to save the world. Memories of ancient loss tangle with fresh wounds and like a precious gem, jealousy and anger shine through eternity. With emotions running so hot, the Shadow Angels are able to use the negative energy against Aquarion. If victory is to be assured, the Vector pilots will have to embrace their darkness. Only in their weakness will true strength be found.

Episode 08 - The First Merge

Recruits respond differently to their first union, ecstasy and agony wrapping around souls and bodies within the heart of a machine. New sensations dancing with the imminent threat of death, a rush that gets the heart pumping and straining. When you?re one of the few around that haven?t experienced a merge, it?s easy to get the wrong idea about it. And if you get too excited, things can get explosive. But the first time can?t be avoided, no matter how frightening it may seem. It?s a natural part of growing up an Element. When the time is right?

Episode 09 - The Path to Dreams

The Shadow Angels seem to be plucking children from their sleep, and it?s happening all over the world. A Harvest Beast has opened the door to human dreams behind the moon, and now in strange nightmares innocence is held captive. The fighters cross over to save those pure souls caught up in inescapable nocturnal visions the only way they know how: Sleep! But this is far from any afternoon nap as the Elements find themselves at risk, with a chance they may never return. The ocean of dreams is vast and rough, and it is all too easy to get lost in the depths.

Episode 10 - Stars in the Sky, Flowers on the Ground

The Shadow Angels unleash a dreadful new weapon, designed to be guided by their most powerful warrior. An unparalleled enemy, Aquarion is not up to the challenge as tension rises and conflict sours, and Apollo?s reckless nature ruins the union. Elements are seriously injured and must heal while the Vectors are repaired in the field. But ragged grudges cut deep and scores will be settled once and for all. Until those that control Aquarion can open their eyes wider to the battle at hand, they are doomed only to see themselves, and their undoing.

	Episode 11 - Happiness is at the Bottom of the Lake
	A less than perfect union can spell disaster for those that guide Aquarion, and sitting around moping about bad luck w
