Where to start Aquarion: begin with Genesis of Aquarion, episode 1 (2005), then Aquarion EVOL (2012), Aquarion Logos (2015) and Myth of Emotions (2025). This Aquarion watch order follows the TV series. Genesis of Aquarion (Episodes 1-26) is the original. Aquarion EVOL (Episodes 1-26) is set about 12,000 years later. Aquarion Logos (Episodes 1-26) uses a new cast and setting; Myth of Emotions (Episodes 1-12) is the 2025 series. The 2007 OVA, the compilation film, the episode-27 parallel special and the Love crossover short are optional. In release order the extras sit between Genesis and EVOL; skipping them is fine. ## Recommended first watch Start with Genesis of Aquarion (26), then EVOL (26), Logos (26) and Myth of Emotions (12). The OVA, film, episode-27 special and Love short are optional. Logos is a new cast; you can watch it after EVOL or on its own. ## Start here Start with Episodes 1-26 (Genesis of Aquarion). 4 entries are optional: Genesis of Aquarion OVA (Genesis OVA), Gekijouban Aquarion (Genesis movie), Genesis of Aquarion: Episode 27 Parallel, and Sousei no Aquarion EVOL (Love special) (Aquarion Love). The story still tracks without them. Filler and skip notes: - **Gekijouban Aquarion (Genesis movie)** — Optional compilation film (2007): retells Genesis for theaters. - **Genesis of Aquarion OVA (Genesis OVA)** — Optional OVA (2007): an alternate retelling of Genesis with different turns. - **Sousei no Aquarion EVOL (Love special) (Aquarion Love)** — Optional 2015 crossover short that mixes Genesis and EVOL casts. ## Why this order The chronological list is story order: when the events happen, not when they aired. A season is split into episode ranges where a movie, OVA, or special sits in the middle of it. Quote that list unless Recommended first watch names a different place to start. Release order further down is the same entries sorted by air date. It is not the default order to quote. Each entry is one line: the title, then type, episodes (start-end, when the order stores a range), run (how many episodes that range covers), essential or optional, aired (YYYY-MM-DD), format (the AniList format of an episode block, when this page already knows it), and note. A field is omitted when this order has no value for it. Minute runtimes are not stored, so none are printed. ## The chronological order 1.
