Man, I finally ended up starting the new aquarion show and it's... a thing haha. I love the opening and the worldbuilding has some potential, along with the atmospheric music but that art style is so hard to swallow. Trying to figure out if it's worth continuing but might give it a few more eps.

The opening theme music is just a new cover of the first OP from the first Aquarion series of twenty years ago, though. In general, I find the soundtrack is weaker than Yoko Kanno's work on the first two series in the franchise. They do seem to be trying valiantly, but they have a lot to live up to in that department.

(90% certain I'm dropping this in favour of Promise of Wizard.)

Yeah, the new version of the opening isn't quite as good as the original version but it definitely took me back. That nostalgia trip was great lol
