TLDR: The execution of the show is beyond awful. So watch it, but don't come in with any previous expectations and take it for how it is and not how it once was or you'll only find disappointment. It'll probably get better, but how much better will be decided by you. Don't let the first episode reaction be the only impression. The only saving grace is its soundtrack, but you'd probably be too angry and cringed to even bother paying any attention to it. The main characters seem to all have some sort of social problem that can cause audiences to cringe and poorly executed plot development and fighting that can't really amuse anyone over the age of 6. Aquarion Logos looks like it's trying to adapt a new identity by letting go of everything that defined Aquarion series in the past, but the production team has to try very damn hard to overcome the (not so high) bars Aquarion and Aquarion EVOL have set and prove that this series can own up or surpass expectations , but screws it up entirely because now nobody has any idea what they're watching. So far nobody has given me any information that Logos is supposed to share any connection with the previous series. I have no idea what I'm watching now with all of that gone, and if I didn't know any better, I would have mistakened this series as a new take on Macross, but even Macross series is executed way better than this unless the new Delta series botches that franchise the same way this series does. I also didn't mind the occasional sexual combine jokes and the pervyness here and there, but most of this are rare to see in Logos. This meant having similar characters, mecha designs, orchestral soundtracks by Yoko Kanno, and OP themes from Akino that blow you out of the water and just made everything seem super epic despite Aquarion shows not being known for having the best plot. This sounds like a good direction for a mecha series but there's a huge problem: the series has Aquarion's name in it.For those who have watched the previous series, you would have witnessed epic fights to save humanity through sheer power and love that repeats itself through reincarnation cycles. The enemy are monsters based on kanji characters and it seems like battles utilize a witty war of wordplay. and the OP theme has May'n and Yoko Kanno's name attached to it. While new and casual viewers will find this show to be interesting and well animated, those who are used to previous Aquarion series will have a hard time accepting the direction this series is taking. Although this series seems to be going towards a different modern direction away from mythical legends, this comes at a steep price. As someone who has watched the previous Aquarions, this series has given me mixed reactions.
