  • Ideon = the greatest and failed creative work in anime history

  • The ending.. Why?! D: The OP makes it look like such an innocent super robot series... Oh well, it was a great series! XD

  • @MoonlightButterfly92 Tomino likes to do that, Victory Gundam, upbeat theme but when you look at the series its kill 'em all

  • Hey, I wouldn't be too happy if every known army in the universe was attempting to kill and capture me.

  • behold... the god of guncannons

  • the kid with the red hair looks exactly like Amuro Ray from MSG. Not surprising, since this was made by the same guy.

  • amuro ray lol

  • I spammed Ideon Gun and Ideon Sword to obliterate all enemies in SRW @3.

  • First time I saw this, i thought it was a robot transformed from a firetruck. Heck, it turns it's nothing like firetruck, plus this show would not involve such kiddy tricks at all. BTW, it also turns out there is an old anime movie about firetruck transforming robot that fights alien invaders, which is serious in its own way.

  • we all die like this anime. by mass nuclear plants.

  • Did IDEON 20-39 ever come out in a DVD box set (subbed) like the 1st set did?

  • Saint Seiya and this intro are one of the best. I was laughing like hell when i first heard them.

  • Tomino World

  • Man this is an anime that deserves a remake/adaptation movie. Man, imagine if it had the crispness the recent bluray releases have *droolssss*

  • At least the show is brutal because it should be, not because of some crazy fetish or to fuck minds (see Madoka Magica and EVA).

    I respect Tomino and Ideon for that.

  • @anode ShinGetterRobo might be able to kill Ideon if it turns into the GetterEmporer. The problem with that is that if Ryoma kills Ideon, then he'd screw over the universe. So it'd be a tie. Mazinkaiser would horribly lose, sadly.

  • Tomino is greatest film director and also story-teller in japan, i think. But almost people think he is just a director only for "anime" for kids loving Super Robot.

    30 years ago, who could make this kind of tragedy in animation for kids? who could leave people's mind such big influence?

    Tomino himself is a strong pacifist, and he have policy that film maker should not omit brutality of war even for kids because it truly happen in war. So, he said he doesn't regret showing peoples death .

  • @kenknbie Ummm... I don't know who you think Yoshiyuki Tomino is, but his reputation is not for kids stuff. It's for killing off his cast. And the reason he said he did this, was because he hates doing sequels.

  • I can just imagine someone with no prior knowledge of Ideon watching this for the first time. "Oh boy! What an upbeat opening, this is gonna be fun!" (Skip ahead to the ending) ".............................­" (Shoots himself)

  • Everyone dies.

  • Tomino has to make one more depressing anime b4 he dies

  • what was that message at the end of the opening?

  • *cough AMURO *cough *cough lol I love Mecha

  • @requiemdiety Amuro's fro has nothing on Cosmo's though.

  • @qwertzy121212 Cosmo has Ronald Mc Donald hair

  • I don't think anything can defeat Ideon. It gets its power by absorbing the souls of the perished!

  • Full power Turn A would defeat it.

  • @blind51de

    Watch Ideon's final

  • @gundamturkiye

    ...and it's bloody.

  • @blind51de

    watch Be Invoked and you'll see that no gundam/mazinger/shin getter/eva/GaoGaiGar

    would stand against ideon

  • @ibuki05 As a Mazinger and Getter fanboy it pains me a little to admit it, but Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter could only hope to scratch Ideon, right before being vaporized along the complete Solar System by a shot of the Ideon Gun.

  • @andoc Are we assuming that the Ideon Gun is out and fully charged at the beginning of the fight, and that the Shin Getter in question is neither the manga or Armageddon Shin Getter? The ones who can practically teleport and destroy things like a moon without a second thought? Ideon's tough, but it's far from invincible.

  • @andoc

    So Ideon vs Getter Emperor results in the end of all things?

  • @andoc have in mind... ideon is a real robot D:

  • @andoc Shin Getter would just devour the Ideon Gun's energy.

  • I wonder how big Ideon is...? is it the same size as Getter or Shin Getter or Psycho Gundam or Aquarion or Voltron or Omega Supreme or Gurren Lagen final form or Gao Gai Gar...? or just plain Gundam size...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Ideon is pretty big. The main reason I say this is that the protagonists actually use a small vehicle to move around inside of it. The lengths of its arms alone exceed the height of most standard gundam units. I like to think it's about the size of daimos, but I could be wrong.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu Daimos...? is that a robot too..?

  • @IdeonFukkatsu About as Big as Gunbuster

  • @IdeonFukkatsu Is it as big as Daitarn 3 or bigger?

  • @SMAXZO Ideon is 105 meters tall, and Daitarn 3 is 120 meters.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu Ideon is around 105 meters tall I think.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu Daimos is 48 meters, I think. Ideon is 110. Daitarn 3 is larger than both at 120. A typical Gundam is about 16-18 meters.

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Considering what it's shown in the anime, the Ideon must be several hundred meters tall.

  • @andoc Yeah...I`ve been told that Ideon is as big as a mech show called Daimos give or take...Ideon is big I guess...but between Psycho Gundam...I wonder who`s bigger...? If about power is no doubt that Psycho would have the uper hand,speed goes to Ideon,strength and endurance goes to Psycho...as for size...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Daimos is about 40-50 mts tall and is not as big as Ideon. As for Psycho Gundam, I personally think Ideon is much, much more powerful than it. I mean, the Ideon gun can destroy solar systems like its nothing, and the Ideon blade can chop galaxies in half... Ideon is just a freaking beast.

  • @andoc But Pscho is just plain psycho...because the MK 2 was destroyed by Elpeo Puru`s Qubeley and the MK 2 is still moving...and it`s strentgh is just brutal considering it can really tear even Big Zams limbs like paper...in hand to hand fight that is...but Ideon will win if it`s a fight of fire power...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Yeah, I know and I admit Psycho is really strong. The problem is that if you damage Ideon enough (and seriously, it takes a lot to actually do that), it will blow up. And if Ideon blows up, it destroys the universe, so even if you destroy the Ideon, you die.

  • @andoc Ideon is that dangerous...? I didn`t know that,I guess that`s why they cut short the show...or at least one of the reason...and I keep reading people say in the comments everybody dies...? I wonder what that means though...? so we have Ideon the robot that no one would kill,Gurren the robot that could tear the universe`s wall and Gao Gai Gar who is just plain crazy with big scarry weapons...it`s no wonder they were not chosen to be in the SRT and ACE games...to much crazy power I guess...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero I know, Ideon is arguably the most powerful mecha ever created (Gurren is at about the same level, I think), and is by default the most powerful super robot in the SRW games he's been included.

    And yes, everybody literally dies at the end of the Ideon anime, in cruel and very sad ways.

    And about Gao Gai Gar, yeah, he is very powerful, but he's way below Ideon, he's about at the same level of power the other two god robots (Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter) are.

  • @andoc So,in the end everyone died at the hands of Ideon...? That is brutal...to bad Gurren wasn`t there to save them all, as Gurren can break the universe`s wall and escape to another universe...etto...I never actually get the chance to see the show,can you please tell me what`s the purpose of the story...is it to find another universe for the entire humankind to live in or to run away from Ideon as far as possible...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero The Ideon's origins are unknown, it was idscovered in a planet along a massive spaceship by human colonists. Leaders from a military race of aliens start trying to get their hands on Ideon, which escalates into a war that eventually destroys both Earth and the alien's world. In the end, the Ideon blows up, and the souls of the Ideon pilots and the aliens ascend to a new universe. Or something like that, Ideon's ending is pretty much open to personal interpretation.

  • @andoc I see...thank you for the info andoc-san...

  • @andoc

    This really depends on how much courage Guy has. The G-Stone transfers said courage into power. If we're going by show statistics, I'd say depending on the situation. Guy could easily adapt.

    Shin Getter, on the other hand, is self evolving. The manga explains it better as the Getter is literally organic. When and if it reaches Getter Empreror stage, it might be able to scratch Ideon. Mazinkaiser on the other hand, would probably despite the Fortress of Steel.

    Ideon: We lose anyway.

  • @andoc Gai Shishio could probably be the only one who could stop the Ideon. Because he is a hero with courage. That turns a 0% chance of victory into 100%. Hmm.. perhaps the G Stone would be the ultimate counter for the Ide Gauge? 

    Otherwise really only TTGurren Lagann, Unicron, or Gunbuster could stand up to the Ideon going full bore.

  • @andoc Strongest? Please. Look up Getter Emperor. Pitting him in a fight against other mechs is like a sentient ant trying to beat "God" himself. His three machines that make him up alone can make enough energy to match a big bang. And in his first size (he absorbs planets and grows in size with each one) is as big as mars and he was able to crush an entire sub space dimension in his own hand. He eventually became so big that his torso was a galaxy in a side manga.

  • @andoc Also in the side manga we see him fight a "god" like opponent who's bigger than him and wins with one punch to the head. Hell, when Ryoma called to create the Emperor the words alone made the universe quake (like a universal earthquake). So long as he has planets he will continue to grow in size and power. He is also able to send people through time, as well as himself probably. If he becomes so big he could nom nom nom on galaxies think of what he will do if he goes into a new universe?

  • @andoc Basically he could grow so big he could nom nom nom on multiple multiverses.

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero A little more than 100 meters.

  • @Tsukasamacleod I see...thank you...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero

    I think Ideon is 105 meters tall. (A standard sized mobile would be an action figure in comparison). Much taller than Psycho Gundam (41 meters). Only source I found (a post on a forum, not an official source) said Gaogaigar is about 31.5 meters.

  • @Lwenzlaff I wonder if it`s in a situation of man vs machine Decade would win...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero I saw a size comparison chart on a giant robot fansite. On it, Ideon is 100 meters tall (slightly more if you include the antennae). Still, it's not official, so take it with a grain of salt.

  • @Pleinair92 Lwenzlaff told me that Ideon is 105 meters tall...but I guess your right...still I wonder if it`s a man vs machine situation, who would win...? Decade or Ideon...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero 100+ meters tall.

  • @SaitohYatate I know,Tsukasamacleod,Lwenzlaff,­andoc and Plenair92 has already told me...but thank you...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero

    if my memory serves correct it was 110 meters. anyway it's over 100 meters. I am about 95% sure on this.

  • @SadisticPink I know...everyone else has told me,but thank you...but right now I`m not quite sure who will win in a situation of man vs machine, will it be Kamen Rider Decade or Space Runaway Ideon...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero 105m, 15m smaller than Daitarn 3.

  • @Duothimir um,everyone else has told me Ideon`s size but thank you...all I want to know now is who will win in a man vs machine fight,will it be Kamen Rider Decade or Space Runaway Ideon...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero How do you compete with a mech, that's powered by the souls of infinite lives?

  • @CosmoShidan Well,Kamen Rider Decade is known as ``Subete no Hakaisha`` which means The Destroyer of Everything...so it is going to be a fair fight between a Mech That`s Powered By Infinite Souls and The Destroyer of Everything...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Now let's not go there. We all know that no matter who wins, the rest of us lose.

  • @Duothimir It`s true that no metter who one the rest of us lose...but only if `the rest of us` that you mentioned is in Ideon`s world which Decade can easily escape from by opening a dimension wall and enter the next world either by himself or with as much as humans he can possibly save...so `the rest of us` might live if they decide to follow Decade...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Damn Tomino! Damn Ishinomori! What mechanical monstrosity have they unleashed upon the universe?!

  • @CosmoShidan Well I don`t know what they were thinking but it`s interesting to say the very least...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Ideon is tall 100 meters or more.

  • @mattiathekaiju I already know since lots of youtubers told me before,but thank you...I`m just interested in knowing who would win a fight between Human vs Machine...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero imagine two Voltes V's plus 5 meters its pretty large almost as tall as daitarn 3

  • @StrikeFreedom986 um,thank you for telling but I already know how tall is Ideon since many people has already told me...but now I just wanted to know who will win in a fight between man vs machine,will it be Ideon or Decade...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero no one, even if decade can destroy ideon, ideon will explode approximately as large as a universe (some others say galaxy)

  • @StrikeFreedom986 But Decade has the ability to open a dimension wall into another world...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero if he can escape quickly before the explosion gets him

  • @StrikeFreedom986 The dimension wall always opens up closer to him whenever he wants to trevel to another world...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero I think it,s bigger then the Psycho but smaller then the Macross

  • @henritje19 I see...but there already lots of youtubers told me that already, so thank you...but now I just want to know who will win in a fight between man vs machine, will it be Kamen Rider Decade or Space Runaway Ideon...?

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Ideon. The only things really able to beat the Ideon are Elder God Demonbane from sheer size (pops the universe it's in from sheer size and destroys others by brushing by) and the RahXephon during Retuning (by rewriting reality to remove the Ideon from existence).

  • @mklgf22 Kamen Rider Decade is known as Subete no Hakaisha aka The Destroyer of Everything...He can destroy one alternate worlds to another alternate worlds...and he can even defeat thousands of army without any scratch on him...He also has the ability to go from one world to another fast and with ease by opening a dimentional wall that can bring him to another world...so Decade is a worthy opponent to Ideon...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Problem is, Decade also is stuck until his job is done and is mortal, while to put down the Ideon, you have to either rewrite reality (RahXephon), be the biggest mech in existence (Elder God Demonbane), or possibly absorb it (Getter Emporer).

    Not even something like Sepheric EVA 01- which has the power of a God- can much do damage to the Ideon, so Decade's screwed.

  • @mklgf22 Nope...the real reason that Decade was created is because he is suppose to destroy every world that he visited and leave, until theres no world left except for his world and his world is where the Dai Shocker`s are and is also where all the Riders from the old days lived and kill all the the riders in that world including himself... is just that simple...so Decade is still a worthy opponent for Ideon...

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero Ideon is fucking huge compared to any MS, even Mobile Armors and Psycho Gundams are small compared to it.

  • @KeeveSuikoden2Hero

    This Picture Should basically explain how big most Mechs are in comparison to a Human (far left):

  • Great song. 

  • BUFFCLAN MEI !

    KYOJIN MEI!

  • For a bloody rumble I heard this to be it sure has a cheerful OP.

  • 0:19 Titan summons of "Chocobo's Dungeon" is the parodies of this scene.

  • My personal fave of tominos! the eva of it's time

  • its awesome how in the beginning you think its gonna be a gay country song then at 0:13 BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • at 0:13 i totally knew this was goin to ma favorites

  • Fukkatsu no toki!

    seriously, this is the most enjoyable opening i've ever heard.

    GJ

  • Amuro with a fro.

  • Ideon,when you see it you will shat brix

  • Tomino's policy b4 1999, the more upbeat the opening is, the more the characters have to die. lol it's kinda true, especially with V Gundam xD

  • Ideon may look silly, but the story is pretty serious

  • I present the most broken thing in the universe.

  • Ideon looks like a more badass Guncannon, pointing out the obvious

  • What an upbeat tune...quite a contrast to the end outcome of the anime.... ; ___ ;

  • Upbeat? The melody might be, but not the lyrics. If anything, this song sounds like a church hymn, with a mythic quality to it. It suits the nightmarish godly power of Ideon.

  • Typical of Tomino in the early days...make it sound cheery and happy and fun!...but make the damned show DEPRESSING xDDD

  • Why is one of the tags for this video "muslim"

  • WHO WILL WIN, IDEON OR GURREN LAGGAN?

  • Gundam=god gundam

    Zaku=Gunbuster

    GM=Ideon

  • The Giant God Ide

  • ideon is the guncanon

  • @hitsusatsu11 with a GM head

  • oh my god the ideon its the ilegitimate love child of a gm and optimus prime haha its kind of ironic that a gm or gm lookalike would go on to be tominos most lethal suit i mean in gundam they usually dont last for more than 5 miniutes there basicley the mecha equivilent of a red shirt

  • ideon vs the macross

  • Ideon looks like a gm mixed with optimus prime mixed with power rangers or any super robot. And the the main character looks like amuro with a even bigger afro!

  • ideon looks like a gm

  • That isn't what I'm talking about, I thought that it would be cool with a more updated look and what not. I wasn't saying that the show is bad and needs to be remade, I was wondering also why hasn't it been remade. I was thinking that if they do they should get the original director writer and character designer.

  • This anime was never popular in Japan; even though without it we never would have had Z Gundam and Eva. Though movie one A Contact counts as a remake, which is why they don't remake Ideon.

  • What I want to know is if its so awsome and epic why hasn't there been a remake?

  • It was done right the first time.

  • One of the best opening tunes ever.

  • Power level of the Ide as measured...

    999999999999999999999999999999­99999999............ et cetera et cetera, kinda goes without saying that it was...

    OVER NINE THOUSAND

  • its funny you say that, if you ever played super robot taisen F final, the pilot stats as they level up can go to 255 max...however, if the ideon becomes invoked, the character portrait of cosmo yuuki is replaced with a white light and his name is replaced with "IDE" and all his stats become 999. The ideon then becomes uncontrollable and shoots the ideon gun at friends and foe alike. Basically a game over because your own mother ship will die in a single hit.

  • @SeoulMan

    hahahaha his power levels over 9 thousand

    fucking dbz

  • @SeoulMan Yeah, who would've thought such a regular looking robot as the Ideon would be the strongest mecha ever?

  • Comment removed

  • It took a whole GALAXY with it!? yeah, that's a good reason to start running for my life.

  • my mistake a universe in correction

  • Okay, now I REALLY should run for my life!

  • IT'S IDEON!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

  • @manat31790

    Well, shit. See you after the universe reboots.

  • @manat31790 Don't bother. You'll never be able to run far enough.

  • very sad anime

  • It has Tomino's name on the production crew. Everyone dies.

  • @yamiblade and thats a fact.

  • @yamiblade its funny that you say that since Ideon has one of the most depressing endings to a mecha anime to date.

  • @yamiblade Do you know what the most disturbing part about Ideon is? It's the fact that Sanrio (the guys that made Hello Kitty) decided to license it in Japan.

  • Ideon is my all time favourite mecha anime. Even the original gundam wasn't as good in my opinion

  • 惑星を真っ二つにする剣

    惑星ごと艦隊をぶち壊す波動ガン

    そしてラストは銀河中の生命が全滅する。

    どれも桁外れの規模のストーリーとロボットでした。

    Sword that makes planet right in two!

    Wave motion cancer that annihilates fleet with planet!

    And, the life in the Milky Way is annihilated in last!!

    All were the stories and robots of an extraordinary scale.

  • It's an uber GM D:

  • FUn Fact:Judau Ashta from ZZ gundam was the reinarnation of Cosmo yuki in their manga mobile suit VS the giant god.

  • I like the openings to Gundam, Dunbine and L-gaim better just cause they had more energy in them. But Ideon's opening is alright, if not a little more relaxed.

  • Comment removed

  • You should watch Turn A Gundam.

  • I know it because of the Super Robot Wars games. Has it been translated or fansubbed into english?

  • I am watching this great serie in these days and i'm near the end (i have watched 31 of 39 episodes). I have found it incredibly deep and interesting, it has many layers of interpretation (psychological, metaphysical, symbolic) and isn't cheesy at all, and doesn't sell out to captivate the audience. I have found in particular incredibly strugging how the theme of the failure of communication , on many layers: between crewmates, betweens Buff Clan and Earth and between earthlings themselves.Great

  • uhh im tryin to watch it but it only goes up to episode 12 on youtube where are you watching it at?

  • I have downloaded the whole serie and the two movies fansubbed by the group ShinGetter on animesuki.

  • thnx a lot now i can finally conitnue on with it

  • Everytime I here people argue about witch show is better, Evangelion or Ideon, they just say, "lol Ideon can eat teh evas", and Im the only one going, ok so which show is better? stupid fanboys, still I love Ide0n, but dont be fooled by its cheerfull Op, its fvcking messed up in the end, also the creator put himself in the last movie...and died...yeah

  • Show wise, I prefer Evangelion myself.

    But I'm going to be honest, I don't see why people argue over which robot show is better, or which robot could win in a fight.

    Ideon can destroy the Universe, TTGL is a universe. To be honest, some shows have robots so powerful it's just insane. (Hence Ideon and TTGL) That doesn't mean that shows such as GaoGaiGar, and Getter Robo can't be epic. You simply have to stop comparing their strengths, when no one really cares who can beat who.

  • What really matters is how much "YOU" enjoyed the show, not which robot is stronger.

    Also stop complaining about things "Stolen" from other mecha anime. The basis of all Mech anime are built from the same thing. It's an anime about giant robots. Not to mention that there are so many of them, that almost everything possible has been done. Rather, it's how the show does it that makes it matter, not who used the concept first.

  • I only saw the first ep of evangelion. The main character was too much of a whiny crybaby for me. Animation was great though and the theme song was good. I know the story from playing all the srw games though.

  • @talesoftheabyssrocks gundam is better

  • @romulux7 I think gundam 0079 was better and maybe some of the ova's. Maybe even 08th MS team, but many gundam series I don't consider better than ideon.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu I think Gundam 0079 was Tomino's best work, and I loved MS team. Ideon went in a different direction and had was cut short due to budget constraints. As much as I don't mind the movies, I really wish the series would have been given the proper TV ending it deserved.

  • @IdeonFukkatsu i think zeta gundam was tomino's best work, but i agree this show deserved a better ending

  • So this is the legendary King of GM, very nice.

  • lolz a giant gm that can destroy the whole universe

  • People often say that the animation quality drops especially during the end of the series (BEFORE THE FILMS) where most of the animation staff was cut. I wonder if the plot would have been affected had the series ended without the movies.

  • Has anyone noticed that tomino's more depressing series usually tend to have the most upbeat themes? Its like he was TRYING to traumatize people.

  • After seeing Zambot 3 and Dunbine I have to say he must have been.

  • Ideon also has some things in common with Space Pirate Capt. Harlock. The characters are stranded aboard starships, fighting off murderous aliens, and being rejected and exiled from earth.

  • Evangelion loved ripping off this show, sorry eva had alot of "inspired content" from this show, the production flaws resulting in 2 movies both happened to eva and Ideon, now how creepy is that?

  • At least Eva didn't have everyone die at the end- oh wait.

  • God that was erotic when karala had her top torn off.

  • The cheerfulness of this OP in no way prepares you for the deathfest that ensues.

    Fantastic show though, you really FEEL each death. And Be Invoked just goes without saying. Ouch.

  • hahahahaha just lame! yet funny.

  • Some of the Buff Clan's Heavy Mobile Mecha have three legs. An obvious nod to War of the worlds. My fave tripod HMM is the Zanza Giru!

  • War for there was never a beginning but just an end.

  • can anyone get me the lyrics
