Genesis of Aquarion
[5] Twelve thousand years in the past, mankind was at mercy of the mythical creatures known as Shadow Angels (堕天翅, Datenshi), immortal winged beings with overwhelming powers and technology.Apollonius joins forces with the humans to free mankind from oppression, by using the legendary giant fighting robot Aquarion (アクエリオン, Akuerion).Eleven years prior to the story, in a disaster referred to as the "Great Catastrophe" Earth's magnetic field shifted devastating significant parts of the world and killing off many of its inhabitants.Ordinary weapons prove ineffective against the Cherubim, and rings of projectors around the remaining cities, tapping into Earth's strata to project a quantum shield to keep Shadow Angels from entering or materializing in them, provide only limited protection.One of them is called prapti (acquisition) and with this siddhi, the perfect mystic yogi can not only touch the Moon, but he can extend his hand anywhere and take whatever he likes.In the series, the Solar Aquarion's Infinity Punch manages to reach the Moon, although the real prapti should not involve greatly elongated arms, but rather the ability to cancel distances between objects (resulting in the idea of omnipresence).In the United States of America, Genesis of Aquarion has been praised for its excellent mecha designs, musical score and animation style.
