Many Satelight works can be characterized as not being entirely audience satisfying, but works that are worth time and attention for attempting to shake up the concepts and animation that are utilized in sci-fi anime. If popular anime frequently develops staid tenancies, recycling successful formulas, Satelight should be admired as a vital contributor to the anime tradition for works like Noein, with its dynamic animation and Glass Fleet, with its ambitious attempt to build a space opera of Napoleonic France, Renaissance Italy and steam punk. Starting with Arjuna in 2001, and including anime such as Geneshaft (with Studio Gazelle), Heat Guy J, Glass Fleet (with GONZO),and Noein, Satelight has largely focused on sci-fi, and produced works that have created opportunities to experiment.
Kawamori is the executive director at Satelight, the studio that produced Aquarion. Then again, in a career that has included audience alienating works like spiritual/ecological lecture Earth Girl Arjuna and scattershot prequel Macross Zero, Aquarion 's complex ledger of accomplishments and faults are far from unexpected. Knowing what Kawamori is capable of, as demonstrated in works like Macross Plus and Escaflowne, the potential for mature drama and intricate world building enhance an expectation for well conceived, appealing mecha design.
In theory, Macross (or Robotech if that's your point of reference) mecha designer Shoji Kawamori paying tribute to Getter Robo, the title in which the mad uncle of anime and manga Go Nagai introduced the combining giant robot, should be the Nolan on Batman of mecha anime.
