#SPACE RUNAWAY IDEON MOVIE#

erm, eagle-eyed reader reminded me that Ideon does actually predate Macross by around two years. With a length of 39 episodes, we estimate that around half of it is just really, really goofy sci-fi that tries very hard to be Macross to a certain extent. To the show's defense, it takes quite a few episodes for the warning bells to REALLY start chiming. A very doinky kind of special, if you catch my drift. before we set out on this particular journey.

That being said, we already knew Space Runaway Ideon was going to be something. A good show is a good show, end of story. Both of us, despite our general difference in anime tastes, don't put too much stock on whether a show might be looked upon as ancient by today's standards. When it comes to checking out older anime titles, neither of us tend to make a habit of approaching the subject with any particular apprehension. This awakens the ancient Ideon, a battle robot that is created when the three vehicles combine, and the ensuing battle eventually forces the earthlings to flee with the aliens in pursuit. However, they are being spied upon by another alien race, and when they discover what the earthlings have found, they decide to pursue with the intention of attacking the earthlings. Human beings on the planet Solo are investigating ancient artifacts when they come across a group of mysterious vehicles.

Two years later, Sunrise ended up compiling these four unreleased episodes into the movie Be Invoked, which played as a double feature with A Contact, a movie-length recap of the show. However, after its cancellation, it steadily gained a cult following among mecha anime fans, who petitioned Sunrise to release the four unreleased episodes in some form. This anime was originally planned for 43 episodes, but due to low ratings, it was canceled at episode 39. Notes: Created by Tomino Yoshiyuki, who also created Mobile Suit Gundam.
