FUNimation Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of
Aquarion Evol: Part 1, available in both a
standard and
Limited Edition BD/DVD combo pack.
Aquarion Evol is the latest television anime series in Shoji Kawamori and Satelight's Aquarion robot anime franchise, and makes its U.S. debut on December 3rd.
Synopsis: After accidentally forming the legendary mecha "Aquarion," Amata finds himself at a pilot-training academy where the flirty girls love to get a rise out of him, and the boys seem more interested in exploring mysterious holes and big bangs than harnessing their Elemental superpowers. It's all awkward dates, hijinks, and threesomes until otherworldly beings start abducting powerful female students. As a mysterious megalomaniac plots interplanetary disaster, the fate of the galaxy depends on whether or not the hormone-fueled academy coeds can come together to fight evil.
Set 12,000 years after the events of
Aquarion, this series from the studio behind
Fairy Tail and
Macross builds on the mythos of the original while introducing a new group of lovers and fighters all heading toward one epic climax.
