* BrokenAesop: Throughout the series you get the message that you should love someone by who they are rather than by things like fate or Big Bangs. Amata tries to illustrate this by fighting the fate of Mikono being with Kagura. [[spoiler:Kagura and Amata are basically the same person, and they were both the split parts of Mikono's past life's lover, Apollo. By the second half of the series no one's entirely sure whether Amata is fighting fate or going along with it, or what is the fate Amata's trying to fight in the first place. In the end, it turns out he was fated to be with the girl he loves anyways.]]

* FanNickname:
** "Team Useless" for Amata and Mikono, after the latter's self-description of them as "a useless pair" in the first episode.
** "Brownka" for Sazanka, being a blatant black-haired, darker-skinned {{Expy}} of [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Ranka Lee]] -- complete with [[Creator/MegumiNakajima the same voice actress]] for a good dose of CastingGag, and a double helping of Company Gag ''and'' Creator Gag (Creator/{{Satelight}} and Creator/ShojiKawamori, obviously).
** "Bag-chan" for the one NEO-Deava student who [[BrownBagMask wears a paper bag over head]].
** "Finland" for Suomi Conebi whose first name is the Finnish word for Finland. Her swimsuit even resembles the Finnish flag.

* JerkassWoobie: Kagura. [[spoiler: He's been treated and raised more like a attack dog than as a child by Mykage with a parent who knew about his existence but never did anything about it. Mikono was literally the ''only'' thing in his life he had to keep him going since he knows that there has to be someone who will care about him.]]

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mikono can come to be this at times. The show tries to make her come off as a shy girl that despite of having [[WellDoneSonGuy daddy issues]] and insecurity problems because of her apparent lack of powers as an element, tries her best to help and understand the people around her. But to many, she comes accross as uncaring, spoiled, indecisive and useless (both in and outside the Aquarion!) throughout the entire show, as [[CockFight she does nothing to solve the problems between Amata and Kagura]], and only makes up misunderstandings that Amata must apologize for, showing no concern [[ParentalAbandonment over his issues]] or how her indecisiveness causes him and Zessica trouble. If polls and general fan reactions are to be trusted, she's one of the least liked female characters of the show.

** Shrade as well. He was born with a talent for music and, coincidentally, with powers to alter peoples emotions through it. Because of this he [[spoiler: [[SelfMadeOrphan accidentally kills his parents]], is then turned into a political weapon and made to kill dozens of people. Then he gets recruited but it turns out that he can do ''jack'' because [[BlessedWithSuck his powers are too strong and would kill him.]]]] It goes so far that, by the time he gets introduce, he frankly doesn't care anymore. He gets better thanks to Cayenne and the others but [[spoiler: he still dies]].

Among its characters are Asura and his daughter Mithra. Izumo and Kagura pilot the ''Ahura''[[note]]"Asura" is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asura#Indo-Iranian_context linguistically related to "Ahura"]].[[/note]] Gnis and ''Mithra'' Gnis respectively and it turned out, several episodes later, that [[spoiler:they're ''father and son'']].

* BlackHoleSue: At one point everything reduces to what Mikono does or does not.



* MarySue: Mikono can be this for some fans.



* RelationshipSue: Mikono and Amata. AG provides a bunch of erotic photos in an attempt to trigger Amata's sky boner after Amata gets his Ace bonus in ''Tengoku-hen'', but Amata confidently states that he's gotten that under control. AG shows him the pictures which he finds quite appealing, and AG bluffs by going "Oh hey there Mikono". Amata loses concentration and slams into the ceiling and AG pins him there by showing him more of the pictures.



* VillainSue: Mykage. The only things he wasn't behind in this series is [[spoiler:Ianthe sapping the life form the planet leading to its slow destruction and the curse of eve that lead to the extinction of the female gender]]. But he never cared about finding a solution to the [[spoiler:gendercide]] problem either.
** The above would not be enough by itself, but throughout the series Mykage's powers seemed to have no limits and had very little logic to them, their usage mostly being dictated by the needs of the plot. For instance, [[spoiler:he could appear in the cockpit of a mech and kill someone just by touching their forehead;]] one has to wonder why he didn't use the same method later on to quickly eliminate all opposition.
