Most mecha anime inevitably sacrifice one or the other and fail to integrate the two, but Logos makes it look easy. It seamlessly blends the monster of the week type battles with the character’s stories in the episode, giving it an amazing balance of mecha and character drama/comedy depending on the episode. It has a simple story about a group of teenagers fighting monsters with some planes that transform into robots when they combine together, but the execution is why it works so well. This is a show where our heroes melt the monster of the week’s ice attack with the burning desire in their hearts to see girls in swimsuits, where a man delivers an impassioned speech about how you should give up on your dreams because you have no talent, and where one of the primary antagonists curls up into the fetal position after his girlfriend is stolen from him (100% serious here.)Īnd don’t forget the ghostbuster’s parody episode. All the characters are huge atypical weirdos unlike the heroes you’d expect from a super robot styled mecha action anime, and I’m thankful It isn’t like other anime, it isn’t cliched, or predictable, you have no idea what to expect in any episode.

Logos is a very weird show, but that’s why it’s so great. (Uh yeah, it’s a spinoff guys.) or just being generally weird, which it is.

My favorite mecha anime in a long time, Aquarion Logos is a tragically misunderstood show that seems to get unwarranted hate for not being a sequel to the original Aquarion.
