There are also many twists and surprises for everyone in the series, things i love most in anime.Īnd something i should not forget, how the series alone showed how filthy and corrupted the humankind can be amazed me, it's sadly true, mankind just lives to kill each other and rule each other. the Love story between two characters from different sides, both loved each other despite the hate of everyone around them, One lost the trust of some people, and other lost her entire family and homeland for her love. that also can be a good "Anti-Racism" message. I loved the idea of both factions thinking of each other as "Aliens" while both are human beings just fell into misunderstanding which lead them to their doom later. Later revealed to the characters that Ideon is more than a robot. The titular mecha, the Ideon a massive giant robot resurrected when he felt that the people is killing each other again and now he must stop it. It's draggy though, very slow paced which can be unpreferable to many. and been an inspiration for many directors and anime such as the just-mentioned and well-known Evangelion. Ideon's sometimes considered to be the prototype of the modern dark and twisted science fiction anime such as Evangelion, Akira and others. Ideon's story was unique, one of kind gets interesting as the series progresses to a degree you became on your edge It's an anime that can be watched by hardcore mecha anime, classic anime fans, and or Tomino's fans. Ok, now, Ideon isn't a typical anime which anybody can watch or enjoy, I might rewatch this someday, but I'd skip over most of the episodes.įirst of all, i usually don't make reviews, but i will make a exception just because i loved this anime and its movies by all my heart, and will be a quick review.Īnd please forgive me, i'm NOT good at writing reviews nor good at expressing my thoughts in English because my English isn't that muchl. I'd give the last 17 episodes a 8/10 or 9/10-again with the acknowledgement that there are a couple stinkers, such as episode #34.

It is a great episode, but the movie gives you a better version.Īll said, I would give a 5/10 or 6/10 to the first 22 episodes, with the acknowledgement that a few of those episodes are fairly good. Everyone gets a moment before the end to show their true depth.Įpisode #39 should be skipped, just watch "Be Invoked" instead, since episode #39 was recut, improved, and made into the beginning of the movie. The plot picks up the pace, characters develop and break down quite spectacularly (they don't cope with things by whining about them, thank goodness), and even the deus ex machina that saved the day in the first half of the series gets turned on its head.

Even as you work towards the same goals, you can hate and betray each other. Even if you surrender, you can't stop fighting. Even if you save the day, you can't save everyone. Remember how the conflict in episode #1 seemed almost accidental in origin? By episode #23, the conflict has grown so large that no matter what anyone says or does, the fighting will continue, and the consequences are always serious. Once you get to episode #23, the tone changes, and the series discovers its purpose. The plot is sometimes stitched together with crude seams, but at other times it flows quite well. Tensions between the main characters are handled with respect, and most of the main cast develops quite wonderfully, even if it seems a bit slow. But there are also episodes where the show takes itself seriously. Animations are reused heavily, early plots mostly follow a predictable formula (land on new planet, aliens attack with new strategy, mech pilots save the day), the characters can be hard to like, and you get tired of the revolving door of villains. At its core, the show is a series of 22-minute commercials for toys which haven't been sold in decades for a country on the other side of the world. The problem with Ideon becomes apparent as soon as you watch the first episode.

While the TV show is a bit slow at times, A Contact and Be Invoked try to cram everything together.

This may be fine for you: you'll get skip some of the repetitive bits of the series, but you'll also skip characterization. Let's get this out of the way first: you CAN skip the TV series and just watch A Contact (the compilation movie) followed by Be Invoked (the new and improved ending). You're probably interested in this series because of the movie's reputation, and you're wondering if the TV show is worth watching.
