Plot
[edit]The series is set in Enoshima, Japan, where a group of middle-school students from the prestigious Private Enoshima Academy is selected to participate in the special "Element Class". Unaware to the public, the elements secretly fight monsters from other dimension that threaten to destroy the universe piloting the "Vector Machines", airships that can combine into the legendary giant, "Aquarion". Soon the elements discover the reason why they were chosen to pilot Aquarion and the connection between them, as all of them are reincarnations of mythic beings from 12,000 years ago.
