What Happened to the Art Style of Aquarion Myth of Emotions?

You may not be familiar with it, but there is an anime series called “Aquarion” that began in 2005 with the first anime titled Sousei no Aquarion. Years later, a sequel was released called Aquarion EVOL, followed by Aquarion Logos, and finally, a new anime in the series called Aquarion: Myth of Emotions.

Today, the first details of the new anime, Aquarion: Myth of Emotions, were revealed, including information on the characters, mechas, and voice actors. I must say, the characters have left fans of the series quite surprised.

First, let’s set the scene. Below, you can see the visual style of the first anime, Sousei no Aquarion, which was released in 2005:

Years later, in 2012, a sequel was released, called Aquarion EVOL, which takes place many, many years after Sousei no Aquarion. This one became popular for its beautiful waifus.

In 2015, we had the release of another sequel, Aquarion Logos, which ended up not appealing much to the audience.

Now we have a sort of chibi design for the characters, completely different from what we’ve seen when compared to the previous animes! Let’s see how fans reacted.

  • “Why is only the robot realistic?”
  • “Looks like The Powerpuff Girls. This kind of style does well with foreigners, so it’ll work out.”
  • “The character design in EVOL is really good.”
  • “Looks like the frustrated nerds who can’t enjoy themselves are freaking out, lol.”
  • “This reminds me of Space Patrol Luluco.”
  • “Oh, this is the same person who did character design for the Bleach anime.”
  • “What is this thing that looks like a poorly made cartoon?”
  • “This doesn’t make sense. It’s an anime full of dirty jokes, but with a design that seems aimed at kids.”
  • “Despite the style, it looks like it’ll have gore scenes.”
  • “Panty & Stocking?”
  • “It has a card game vibe.”
  • “Considering the level of this work, I think it’s fine like this.”

Aquarion: Myth of Emotions will premiere in January 2025, and Crunchyroll will be streaming the anime.
