Aquarion EVOL
While we used to get a lot of clips before a release from FUNimation, we’re now seeing more of them at release or afterwards. Today’s new release of Aquarion EVOL has gotten itself a new a new three minute clip that highlights the cast going into action while playing up some of the gender issues of it all. As the promo piece for it indicates, “Girls rule and boys drool – or is it boys rule and girls drool? Either way, these pilots will have to find a way to put their differences aside and work together to save the world!”
Plot concept: After accidentally forming the legendary mecha “Aquarion,” Amata finds himself at a pilot-training academy where the flirty girls love to get a rise out of him, and the boys seem more interested in exploring mysterious holes and big bangs than harnessing their Elemental superpowers. It’s all awkward dates, hijinks, and threesomes until otherworldly beings start abducting powerful female students. As a mysterious megalomaniac plots interplanetary disaster, the fate of the galaxy depends on whether or not the hormone-fueled academy coeds can come together to fight evil. Set 12,000 years after the events of Aquarion, this series from the studio behind Fairy Tail and Macross builds on the mythos of the original while introducing a new group of lovers and fighters all heading toward one epic climax. – See more at: http://www.funimation.com/blog/?p=2167#sthash.vFvEYhJs.dpuf
