Written and directed by Shoji Kawamori, creator of ‘The Vision Of Escaflowne‘ and ‘Macross 7‘, AQUARION – VOLUME 1 comes to DVD in November featuring the first six episodes of the 26–episode anime series.

An affectionate homage to the ‘super–mecha–robot‘ anime series of the 1970s and 80s, AQUARION brings the genre bang up to date with its exceptional employment of cutting edge CG animation techniques that make this one of the best looking, must–see series for fans of mecha animes.

When the Shadow Angels invade earth after 12,000 years of slumber, humanity is held captive by fear and sheer alien dominance. Eleven years after the Great Catastrophe decimated the world, most of those left alive are scavengers, dirty and starving in the streets. There is hope, however, in the shape of Mechanical Angel Aquarion.

Powered by three souls intertwined, a rare breed of pilot takes the controls. Known as Elements, one among them must rise if mankind is to survive. Prophecy is being fulfilled as the end of the world approaches and through a swirling cloud of love, betrayal, loss and destiny, the last hope for the new future arrives and takes flight.

Full of action–packed mecha battles and anime heroics, AQUARION is a must–see for fans of titles such as ‘Escaflowne‘, ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion‘, ‘Vandread‘ and ‘Voltron‘.
