History Anime / GenesisOfAquarion

* YaoiGuys: Touma and Apollonius in the {{backstory}}.
** You could also consider Jun possibly in this category as well. In the episode where he inquires Pierre about merging, they have a [[{{Fanservice}} yaoi moment]], and in the following episode, Pierre's dream of a harem has all of the female pilots plus [[AttractiveBentGender Jun in female clothes]] all fawning over him.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Surprisingly avoided for the most part. Few of the characters have have wild HairColors, the oddest example coming from the twins (Kurt and Chloe), who have blue hair, and Futaba, who sports green hair braided in a ponytail.
** [[JustifiedTrope Then again]], Futaba is a [[WingedHumanoid Shadow Angel]].

[[{{Backstory}} Twelve thousand years ago]] there was a great war between humans and Shadow Angels; the humans won, in no small part thanks to Apollonius, an Angel who turned against his own people [[DefectingForLove out of love for Celiane, a human woman]], and the Angels [[SealedEvilInACan became dormant under the South Pole]].

* {{Schoolgirl Lesbian|s}}: Tsugumi has a clear-as-day (if unreciprocated) crush on Reika.

* TrialBalloonQuestion

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: The Gospel version of the main theme played in the last episode. In fact, it's so good and there's so much English in it that it's more like GratuitousJapanese.

* NotSoDifferent: The battle between humanity and the Shadow Angels seems to bring out the worst in both...
** Which is ironic, given the FantasticRacism present throughout the series.

* PowerTrio: Silvia, Reika, and Tsugumi really form something like this. Examples include BeautyBrainsAndBrawn (Silvia is the beauty, Reika is the brains, and Tsugumi is the brawn), FreudianTrio (Silvia is the Id, Tsugumi is the Ego, and Reika is the Superego), and NiceMeanAndInBetween (Tsugumi is nice, Silvia is mean, and Reika is in-between).

* ThemeTuneCameo: [[spoiler:The final name appearing in an attack card in the series is "The Day The World Began" (''"Sekai no Hajimari no Hi"'' in Japanese) - the very first line of the theme song.]]

This is a tale about a [[RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude group of teenagers]] with PsychicPowers piloting an [[DeusSexMachina orgasm-powered]] [[CombiningMecha combining]] {{Super Robot|Genre}} to fight evil Shadow Angels from [[{{Atlantis}} Atlandia]] who [[ToServeMan feed on human lifeforce]]...

* TeleportersAndTransporters: The Teleport Change, which can exchange the pilots of the Vectors with someone who's back at the base.

* BiTheWay: Tsugumi.

* HairDecorations: Tsugumi.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Silvia.

* BigBad: Touma.

* PowerTrio: Silvia, Reika, and Tsugumi really form something like this. Examples include BeautyBrainsAndBrawn (Silvia is the beauty, Reika is the brains, and Tsugumi is the brawn), FreudianTrio (Silvia is the Id, Reika is the Superego, and Tsugumi is the Ego), and NiceMeanAndInBetween (Tsugumi is nice, Silvia is mean, and Reika is in-between).

* RedOniBlueOni: Apollo and Sirius.

* AnAesop: Every single one of Fudou's lessons. [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs They're all on crack as well]].

* FreakyFridayFlip: Played with ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments gloriously]]'' in the "Cosplay of the Soul" episode.
%% Fridge stuff goes on the Fridge page. Click the lightbulb at the top of the page.

* HotParents: From what we can see of Sirius and Silvia's mother and father, they fit the bill. Also, [[spoiler:Apollonius and Celiane, given that they started the Royal Family's lineage in the first place.]]

* HumongousMecha

* MeaningfulName: "Vectors." Now, [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs whether they make sense to sane minds is a different issue]].
** This is actually referencing vectors in math and physics. If the vectors aren't moving in a similar nature, the overall force and direction of said force is diminished. Isn't this similar to the point of the Vectors themselves? If the pilots are moving in different directions, the merging is marred.

** Sometimes causes SoundtrackDissonance, especially in the earlier episodes where "Sousei No Aquarion" was the main theme. Something just seems a little off about playing a heartfelt song proclaiming undying love while ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome dribbling a Humongous Mecha into orbit like a soccer ball!]]''

*** Arguably Pierre's [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]].
*** ''Definitely'' Pierre's [=CMOF=]. He had his fellow Element Users down to a science.

This is a tale about a [[RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude group of teenagers]] with PsychicPowers piloting an [[DeusSexMachina orgasm-powered]] {{Super Robot|Genre}} to fight evil Shadow Angels from [[{{Atlantis}} Atlandia]] who [[ToServeMan feed on human lifeforce]]...

* [[SwissArmyHero Swiss Army Mecha]]: Depending on the configuration of the Vectors, [[MultiformBalance Aquarion can assume different forms]]. The main ones are Sol (GoodOldFisticuffs), Luna (TheStraightAndArrowPath), and Mars (ILikeSwords and PlayingWithFire), although circumstances have forced the team to improvise on occasion.

* ThisAndThat: In episode 8 Tsugumi and Jun ask Reika and Pierre respectively for advice on their first [[CombiningMecha union]], and the other two naturally assume they're asking for advice on ThisAndThat (although, seeing how the "union" works, they might as well have...).

The series was created by ShojiKawamori, the designer of [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross the Valkyrie]] and the [[Anime/EurekaSeven Nirvash typeZero]] amongst other mecha, and was animated by Studio {{Creator/Satelight}}. Hence why the titular robot looks so awesome.

* [[DarkSkinnedRedhead Dark-Skinned]] RedHeadedHero: Apollo, [[XMarksTheHero with matching scars to boot]]!

This is a tale about a group of teenagers with PsychicPowers piloting an [[DeusSexMachina orgasm-powered]] {{Super Robot|Genre}} to fight evil Shadow Angels from [[{{Atlantis}} Atlandia]] who [[ToServeMan feed on human lifeforce]]...

...but that's a little too far on the simple side of things. Let's try again.

* VideoGame/SuperRobotWars: Debuted in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' and returns in the sequel. The final game replaces it with [[Anime/AquarionEvol the sequel]] in the first half, but the second half brings the 2 side-by-side.
** It also appears in ''VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode R'', as the token {{Super Robot|Genre}} series, alongside 5 other ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' shows.

In July 2015, a new television series, ''Aquarion Logos'', began airing. Before it, an OVA [[CrisisCrossover crossover with Evol]] was released.
