Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this one? So far I'm on ep. 5 and I'm still having a little trouble figuring out what exactly is going on and the who's who. So far the show's been somewhat boring but I was wondering if anyone knew when to expect better from the series. Based on what I know about the series through SRW games and the Wikipedia entry it won't remain so formulaic. Given the fact that the Ideon so far is basically invincible and from what I gather no current technology can really contend with it, I would like to know what provokes the Ideon (or the pilot) to spoiler[slice an entire planet in half.] Also just something interesting I noticed, in terms of the layout of the series it seems like Eva borrowed from this show. Specifically the fact that both series possess 2 movies one being a recap movie and the other being a true ending to the show.

I realy enjoyed the series, but you will need to give it some time.

And as you already noted, EVA took many things form Ideon. Just wait tell the second movie. Laughing

I was going to start watching it the other day but the fansub site was down. I'll try back later I guess.

Although it's been over 20 years since I've seen the series, I will say that I remember it with fondness. I remember Gainax's Gunbuster really reminding me of Ideon as well. I'm not sure if it is more accurate to say that Gainax was influenced by Tomino, or Tomino influenced the mecha community. I'm surprised that the Ideon universe has not been revived, since Tomino seems to be revisiting Byston Wells and Gundam so often.
