Space Runaway Ideon: Difference between revisions

Compared to its immediate spiritual predecessor, ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', ''Ideon'' is a step back from [[Real Robot]] to [[Super Robot]] (the trend was discontinued with ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'' in the 80s) and as a result, features rather formulaic combat engagements. These usually follow the pattern of Buff Clan (later, Earth, too) presenting their newest strategy/technology/commander, engaging Ideon (which may or may not be in combined form at the time), and getting their asses handed to them in every single episode. The grand scale of the battles commonly seen in various [[Gundam]]s is unattainable with a single robot and a [[Cool Starship]], so don't look for it here. Another notable feature is the shameless [[Plot Armor]] of major antagonists, as it is not uncommon to see them escape with ease while Ideon takes out their [[Redshirt Army]]. To be fair, however, the show isn't ''that'' bad, just a little monotonous and difficult to sit through. ''Be Invoked'', on the other hand, is a must for every anime fan out there. Otherwise, you miss out big time on how [[Kill'Em All]] was done back in the days...
