Back when the Aquarion series started, some fans wondered if it would be the same as Neon Genesis Evangelion, and thankfully, the two are dissimilar. In what’s different lays in whether the series is about the end of the world, or kidnapping individuals to further the enemy’s gain. The next instalment is coming and it’s titled Aquarion Myth of Emotions!
As both series have their own loyal following, I’m interested in seeing what the producers will do for its anniversary year. This giant robot series created by Shōji Kawamori (Macross series) and SATELIGHT has a style I really like, and I’ll admit, I’m behind. Over the holidays, now will be the best time to get caught up! This series is also on Crunchyroll.
January will see the premiere of the fourth entry, and earlier this week a special event screened the first episode and included a talk show revealing the opening and ending theme song performers.

From the Press Release:
The opening theme, “Genesis of Aquarion: Myth of Emotions Ver.,” will be performed by a special unit comprising AKINO from bless4—who sang the iconic theme for the original 2005 series Genesis of Aquarion—and Yoshiki Fukuyama, known for his work with FIRE BOMBER and JAM PROJECT. The original “Genesis of Aquarion,” written by Yuho Iwasato and composed by Yoko Kanno, is known for its memorable lyrics, “I’ve loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago.” The Myth of Emotions version is a reimagining of this classic track by renowned Evangelion composer Shiro Sagisu.
The ending theme, titled “Kokuhaku,” will also be performed by AKINO. With lyrics by director Kenji Itoso and Yoko Kanno, and composition and arrangement by Kanno, the song blends AKINO’s vocals with stunning string arrangements to deliver a divine musical experience.
