Please read the information in this link - Aquarian Age TCG.
It was based on a Japanese card game in which five supernatural factions fight against one another, and the player takes on the role of what's called a Mindbreaker.
I've just watched the anime, and it's quite interesting in how it's set out. They've even used the whereabouts of the Hindu goddess, Saraswati and her Japanese name/counterpart, Benzaiten.
Here is an AMV that's on YouTube - Aquarian Age: Sign for Evolution (Zodiacal Sign) AMV.
There are also other references to the term, Aquarian Age as well.
It's basically about the Zodiac and that every 2000 years, the rising sign at dawn of the Spring Equinox "reigns" as it were. It is said to be the age of that sign. Right now, from 2000 AD, it appears it is the Age of Aquarius, therefore the Aquarian Age.
Here is some more information - Dawn of the Aquarian Age.
Perhaps we can venture into this idea further and explore it to see what ideas and theories we can come up with and discover.

Wow! I had no idea there was a card game like this one. I just read the story and it sounds quite interesting. So this is based on our own world then? At first I thought it was a made up world like Dominaria (on Magic the gathering) and these Mindbreakers sound like the Planeswalkers of Magic TG. Should we chat about how we view each of the 5 factions that are in the conflict or more than that? It's to bad I haven't seen the anime like you Mel. I wish I could at least try the game but it seems there isn't a version available for any of my 3 gaming consoles. It would be great to see one released for DS cuz, you'd be able to manipulate the cards with the touch screen and all. 3nodding

You can watch the anime on YouTube. You just need to look for the English dubs. There are only 13 episodes.
I wanted to explore the different ideas about the factions within Aquarian Age as well as the mythological/historical aspects about them. They might be able to give you, me, and others ideas for writing or just out of general interest.

I don't know if I should look into the anime right now. I mean, if I waste time on that, I probably won't be able to come back in a while.
Yes, yer right Mel. I bet that if I look into the characteristics of this concept more, I would be able to work on my stories on areas where I have trouble coming up with things.
Thanks for the link Berz! I doubt I'm gonna be using it anytime soon but still...
Nice to see you back! wink
