#Myth of Emotions Character Trailer Reveals New Series’ Character Designs

January 2025’s Aquarion: Myth of Emotions has received a character trailer, which introduces its main cast and previews the colourful and cute-leaning character designs of the show. The anime’s mecha are also previewed briefly.

The main characters of the new, Enoshima-set Aquarion series are Sakko Otori (Yumiri Hanamori), Amaha Momohime (Azumi Waki), Rimiya Tsukishi (Makoto Koichi), Toshi Hatano (Aki Toyosaki), and Sayo Ichiki (Konomi Kohara). The newly released second key visual provides another view of them:

Sakko, Rimiya, and Toshi are Elements, students from a prestigious private academy who are part of a special reinforcement class. They are ordered to pilot the Vector Machine, which is powered by the power of their emotions, against the invading Kamiwajuu. As the expectations of a mysterious organization and adults intersect, the three of them, as well as the two girls, find themselves coming face-to-face with the truth of the universe.

The original Aquarion anime, Genesis of Aquarion (or simply Aquarion), aired in 2005 with 26 episodes. It was later followed by 2012’s Aquarion Evol and 2015’s Aquarion Logos. All of the shows were produced by Satelight. Eight Bit co-produced Aquarion Evol while C2C co-produced Aquarion Logos.

There has also been a movie (2007’s Aquarion: The Movie) and an OVA (2015’s Sousei no Aquarion Evol).

Crunchyroll describes the first Aquarion as:

Humanity is dominated by fear when the Shadow Angels invade after 12,000 years of slumber. There is hope, however—Mechanical Angel Aquarion, a fighting machine powered by the intertwined souls of pilots known as Elements. With prophecy being fulfilled, and the end of the world approaching, the last hope for the new century takes flight. For mankind to survive, one among the Elements must rise.
