DARKWIND Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) I was just zipping around the net and found a new figure for it from Yamato. . . But the sad thing is while living here in Japan I have only seen one episode of it . . . The Final Episode where everyone dies and goes on to the big pearly gates. . . To me it looked like it was kind of a tear jerker . . . Cause as in most anime when someone bites the big one it is for the good of all. . . But the whole damn thing is kind of anti-climactic. . . Maybe cause I didn't see the whole thing I'm missing "all the heavnry grory". . . Could someone here Help me "not concentrate on the finger" (lol) Sorry thinking about another flick at the moment. . . But seriously can ya help a brother out???

Syngyne Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Let's try this again. Do a Google search for "Space Runaway Ideon," it turns up lots of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewtal Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I really wish this would be fansubbed or licensed by animeigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doryu2025 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I really wish this would be fansubbed or licensed by animeigo. Well, the "next best thing" to that happened a while ago, when a HK DVD set of Space Runaway Ideon Part 1 was released, containing episodes 1-19 with English (and Chinese, obviously!) subtitles. Unfortunately, since that release, the HK DVD rippers are unable or unwilling to touch any 70s or 80s anime series anymore, and Part 1 of Ideon was all we got, with the rest of the episodes in limbo (for those who don't understand raw Japanese). It might be possible to track down some Part 1 sets for a very cheap price, since it's only half of the series, with the rest unavailable in that format.

Brewtal Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) Doryu2025 had this to say Well, the "next best thing" to that happened a while ago, when a HK DVD set of Space Runaway Ideon Part 1 was released, containing episodes 1-19 with English (and Chinese, obviously!) subtitles.

It might be possible to track down some Part 1 sets for a very cheap price, since it's only half of the series, with the rest unavailable in that format. I noticed this around when it first came out, and after browsing cdjapan I think I've discovered why they only went that far. The only dvds available in Japan are a 2 disc set called "first start" or something like that, and a 5 disc box that has eps 1-19. Both of these came out around late 2000-early 01 so whoever is putting these out lost interest a long time ago. In short, we're sol unless a laserdisc set exists, or the rest of the show gets put out. Edited September 29, 2004 by Brewtal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Rogers Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 If you've seen Zeta Gundam and Dunbine, then you can pass up on Ideon... all 3 shows are about the same (all were directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino), except Ideon is the least refined show in terms of animation and execution.

Quiddity Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) If you've seen Zeta Gundam and Dunbine, then you can pass up on Ideon... all 3 shows are about the same (all were directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino), except Ideon is the least refined show in terms of animation and execution. *SPOILERS* The same? Um, no. Certainly all three shows are well known for cementing Tomino's 'Kill Em All' Reputation (although Ideon and Dunbine are much worse in that respect than Zeta Gundam, where a number of the heroes survive. In Dunbine the cast is completely slaughtered and in Ideon every living creature in the universe dies). But the plots are completely different. Ideon's much more of a super robot anime than the others and features aliens as the villains, something not at all in the other two. Dunbine's got the medieval setting and insect like mecha that sets it apart from the other two. There's certainly a few similarities (like the Earth Government being evil) that all 3 have, but to say you shouldn't bother with Ideon because you've seen Z Gundam or Dunbine is like saying you should skip Evangelion if you've seen Escaflowne. Although I do agree that as the earliest of the 3(1980), Ideon is the least refined of the three in terms of animation and plot structure. I'd say Ideon has the best idea but lacks the proper execution through most of the series (although its handled perfectly in the movies IMHO).
