![]() This controversial and criticized ending for the show resulted in The End of Evangelion movie. It's worth noting that budget cuts resulted in how obtuse the TV ending for Evangelion was, mimicking the ratings and financial failure of Ideon. They also both received movies to better explain and extrapolate upon these events, making the similarities even more uncanny. These endings both result in their protagonists awakening in a new world and relying on comparable ideas of eggs and childbirth surrounding these rebirths. Like Ideon, Evangelion had an abstruse, somewhat out-of-left-field conclusion. The biggest similarity, however, is the esoteric and apocalyptic nature of both show's different endings. For this reason, it wipes out both species but promises to recreate them as superior beings on the far sides of the universe, giving them a second chance to make things right. The TV show ends with the Ideon judging both humanity and the Buff Clan as having failed to capitalize on the chances each had been given. What at first seemed to be a sort of halfway point between Super Robot anime and the more war-oriented Real Robot genre quickly became a much darker, more subversive series by the end. Complicating matters is the presence of a girl named Karala, who may hold the key to victory for either side. This misunderstanding launches an all-out war, with both sides vying for control of the Ideon and the Ide energy that powers it. The group quickly uses this weapon to defend against the alien Buff Clan, who believed that they were being invaded by the humans. In one mysterious world called Solo, humans discover vehicles that can combine into the powerful mystical robot Ideon. The artwork features the signature of the Japanese artist Yuichi Higuchi who was involved in the film’s art department and also worked on other anime films as artist.Space Runaway Ideon is set in the year 2300, by which time humanity has colonized much of the known galaxy. Be Invoked featured a modified version of the final episode of the TV series (removing the ending sequence), in addition to those episodes that never aired, finishing off the Ideon saga once and for all.’ In addition a few new scenes, the movie also created new death scenes for character such as Damido, Mayaya and Daram. A Contact featured clips from the first 32 episodes of the TV series interspersed with newly animated footage. The two movies, A Contact and Be Invoked, were produced by both Sanrio and Sunrise and released as a double bill by Shochiku in 1982. Demand for a release of the final unaired episodes followed the show’s cancellation, and two movies were produced to end the series. As a result, the producers were forced to insert a short segment at the end of the final episode that ended the series in the middle of the action. A simple case of fear and mistrust triggers an intergalactic war, with the Ide and the fate of the universe at stake.Īccording to the series’ Wikipedia page ‘the series originally met with rather low ratings and was cancelled after only 39 of its scheduled 43 episodes aired. However, they come into contact with an alien race known as the Buff Clan, who claim the Ideon’s energy source of Ide as their right. ![]() It is the year 2300 and on the distant colony world of Solo, a team of archaeologists discover three alien vessels that, when formed together, become a giant fighting robot – The Ideon.
