Full First Episode of English Aquarion Streamed
The IGN entertainment website has posted the full first episode of Funimation's English dubbing of the Aquarion anime series. The story follows pilots who defend Earth from mystical creatures — through three fighters that combine to form the robot Aquarion. Shoji Kawamori (Macross, Escaflowne) directs the animators of Satelight (Macross Zero, Noein) on this 26-episode television series. As she did for Kawamori's Macross Plus and Escaflowne, Yoko Kanno composed the soundtrack for Aquarion. Funimation will release the first 13-episode DVD set on March 11.
