Sousei no Aquarion

In a distant future, humanity faces the threat of the "Shadow Angels," mystical creatures who have returned after 12,000 years of absence. These beings attack human cities and kidnap their inhabitants to drain their "prana," or vital energy. To counter this menace, youngsters with special powers from around the world are gathered and trained to pilot the "vector machines," three ancient ships that combine to form mankind's ultimate weapon, "Aquarion." The story centers on Apollo, a teenager rumored to be the reincarnation of Apolonius, a fallen angel who fought against his own kind to protect humanity, as he and his comrades battle against the Shadow Angels to determine the fate of mankind.
