Synopsis

In a distant future there is an organization called Deava which had to fight against the so called "Shadow Angels", creatures that had survived for over 12,000 years whose only purpose was to destroy humanity. Apollo, a seemingly normal human, was in fact the reincarnation of a fallen Angel called Apollonius, who in turn had to fight against Touma, a Shadow Angel, along with his comrades in order to prevent the destruction of the Earth.

Audience Consensus

The Sousei no Aquarion OVA is a mixed bag, appealing to those who enjoy both mecha and romance themes, but potentially unsatisfying for die-hard fans of either genre. The story focuses on reincarnation and relationships, with a plot involving angels and humans. While some characters are well-received, the art quality and ending are points of criticism.

Strengths

  • Revisions make the OVA a better watch than the series due to a more focused story.
  • Apollo is a great character with development despite the short OVA length.

Weaknesses

  • The ending is mildly disappointing.
  • Inconsistent art quality, fluctuating between beautiful and shabby.
  • Side characters are mostly bland.
