A multi-genre series with a large amount of ecchi, occasionally bordering on the pornographic, distributed throughout. The comedy style is mostly reaction-based while the drama is on the darker side of the spectrum.

The three realms (heavenly, human, and boundary) keep their balance by cycling souls from one to another, often by force, with the responsibility of transferral falling to the boundary realm’s Black & White Warriors. The youngest of these are Heng Wang and Liang Yan, a unique pair who have never completed an assignment and only seem to excel at being late.

In a world where text-based communication has begun to dominate discourse, a virus has appeared that causes certain Kanji to run amok. To counter this threat the DEAVA organization has gathered up people with Verbalism abilities to pilot special mecha called Aquarions.

An action series with a large comedic streak and minor romance elements which becomes more of a multi-genre series in the second half. While the OVA that precedes the first episode is a crossover between Aquarion and Evol, the series proper has no connection to those shows beyond a few setting details.
