Aquarion Evol - promising winter mecha anime!

After watching the first special almost-an-hour long first episode, I loved the anime right away. The anime is full of CGI but it was great nevertheless. 4 years ago, I was not a big mecha anime fan and I loved Code Geass which had mecha stuff in it although it was not really the main part of the anime. Then my boyfriend did a lot of convincing to make me watch Gundam 00 and when I did, it was the beginning of a newfound interest in mecha anime. From then on, I started watching Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny, went on to watch Gundam Wing then the most recent one was Eureka Seven. Now, Aquarion Evol came into the picture and I am certainly loving it. Hope the story buildup would be excellent.

Aquarion Evol is all about Amata Sora who had a special power of levitation but hid it because he received a lot of hate because of it from when he was young. One day, he met a girl named Mikono and spent the whole day with her when suddenly villains appeared and attacked the city. Both of them were in danger so he used his power to save Mikono and himself. When he released his power, he unknowingly awakened Aquarion, a legendary weapon and they were able to save the city, beat the bad guys and stuff.
This is just a way too general synopsis but that's basically how the anime is. You have to watch the anime itself to know what I am raving about. The best thing in this anime for me is the soundtrack! I definitely love the opening song and I am going to download it once it is released. Here's the anime's opening theme.

I am really looking forward to watching the whole season! Don't waste any more of your precious time looking for some great anime to watch! Start watching this anime, NOW!
