On the plus side, it does carve out a fairly comprehensible story arc overall by focusing on Karala, sprinkles in action at the right places, axes all of the repetition from the first half of the series, and actually does a better job than the TV series when it comes to clearly explaining the true nature of the Ideon's power. Events or characters get mentioned once, but never seen. The opening section doesn't make it clear who people are or where the Ideon came from. To say that the editing in A Contact is choppy would be an understatement. Unfortunately, A Contact focuses almost entirely on the first half of the series, with its climax being somewhere around episode 25, I think. around episode 22, it really starts to feel like a show by the guy who brought us Gundam, and that's where it gets good. Most of the subsequent episodes up through the teens are repetitive filler.

The first several episodes do a good job of setting up the premise and establishing the conflicts. The Ideon TV series goes through three basic phases. The answer is that you do so with great difficulty. I was curious about A Contact though, since I wondered how you summarise 38 TV episodes in a 90-minute compilation movie. The first time I watched Ideon, I approached it in the way that is generally recommended, namely by watching all of the TV series except the final episode, and then Be Invoked. But you will have a far better experience if you get a chance to watch the first 38 episodes of the TV series before jumping into the second movie. This was how I got introduced to the Ideon franchise myself, after all.

Is this movie worth watching? If you truly think you don’t have the time to watch the television series and want a primer so you’ll be ready for the second movie, then go ahead and watch it. Yet said faction is referenced heavily in the second movie (its leader is a significant character), which is bound to cause even more confusion. It is true that many parts of the TV series plotline featuring this group was not in this movie. Also, this movie puts in the effort to completely remove all reference to the Ome Foundation, a mysterious faction of the Buff Clan. In fact there is a recurring character who died during that timeframe in the series who just completely disappears, their death completely unexplained in the movies. So when you start watching The Ideon: Be Invoked there are still several episode’s worth of plot that you are missing. A notable example is the fact that the movie doesn’t fully summarize the first 38 episodes of the show (the 39th episode is featured heavily in the next movie), but only the first 32. It clocks in at under 90 minutes, but really could have used even 30 extra minutes to help develop things better and retain some additional television series plots. If anything this movie is much more aggressive with the running time than it should have been.

The movie’s music is quite strong, and the ending theme is one of my favorite music pieces from the Ideon franchise.Īt the same time, the movie suffers from the same thing that almost every compilation movie does in that there simply is no way to provide sufficient development to the plot and characters in a movie versus a full length television series.

While a large portion of the movie is footage from the TV series, there are also several scenes that are significantly improved with new animation, and we have multiple changed character deaths. Tomino and animation director Tomonori Kogawa take advantage of the movie format to provide some enhanced animation. Our heroes, led by Bes Jordan, and teenagers Cosmo Yuki and Kasha Imhof board the Solo Ship and head throughout the universe, under pursuit of the Buff Clan, who are seeking the power that the Ideon holds. Karala Ajiba, daughter of the military commander of the Buff Clan, Doba Ajiba, heads down to the surface of Solo and in their pursuit to find her, a war between the earth settlers and the Buff Clan begins. At the same time, humanoid aliens known as the Buff Clan suddenly appear.

On the planet Solo, they find the sixth such civilization, which left behind various relics such as the three trucks that make up the Ideon and a giant spaceship, incidentally called the Solo Ship. Mankind has searched throughout the stars, finding many long dead alien civilizations. Ideon takes place far in mankind’s future. The movie’s plot is basically the exact same as Ideon the television series enough so that I’ll simply use the same description from my In order to help people recollect the events of the TV series, this movie was also created. A couple of years later director Yoshiyuki Tomino and crew were able to provide a conclusion to the show in the movie The Ideon: Be Invoked. Densetsu Kyojin Ideon, AKA Space Runaway Ideon was a 1980 television series that got cancelled after 39 episodes. The Ideon: A Contact, is the first of two Ideon movies that were released on the same day back in 1982.
