The main characters of Aquarion: EVOL, featuring Mikono (left) and Amata (right).

Plot:

[There were too many names and things for me to summarize, so I used the one from MyAnimeList, which summed it up nicely]
The "Abductors" Invaders from Altea come to Earth with only one purpose, to harvest humans. DEAVA the Aquaria Academy exists to train men and women to use Aquaria, but they cannot ever merge because of Guize stones, these block an "unholy union" between genders. The story follows Amata and Mikono in their enrollment into DEAVA, and fight their fight with Abductors.

Opinions:

Remember those books you read in high school? Yeah, the ones with all that symbolism and metaphors and crap in it. If you take all the action and mecha out of Aquarion: EVOL then that's all you're left with (not including boobs). Aquarion: EVOL is stuffed with sexual symbolism, from the donuts to the hole in the wall. Many people consider it action; however, since everything revolves around romance and the relationships between the different characters, I consider it a romance.

Overall Rating:

7.5/10
