The fan's were, understandably, not happy about this, and neither was Tomino. Tomino and his team originally planed to have Ideon to run for a total of 43 episodes but the show was canceled in 1981 after just 39 episodes becuase of low ratings.

Even if the target is in hyper space.Īnyway, Ideon first premiered on Japanese TV in 1980, and was the brain child of Mobile Suit Gundam creator, Yoshiyuki Tomino. And finally, the most destructive of all: The Ideon Gun, which is so impossibly powerful that anything that even comes close to its line of fire (ships, mechs, people, planets, comets, whatever), is instantly turned into star dust. The Ideon sword, twin beams of energy that are basicly oversized light sabers (the video on the left shows them slicing a planet in half).
The first is the Black hole cannon, which is basically a mini-black hole in the Ideon's stomach (I don't know how that's supposed to work either). And despite all of that, Karala and Bes manage to fall in love with each other and make child together. And the poor residence of the Solo Ship are caught in the middle, turned away from their own kind because of the war they unintentionally brought on humanity and hated by the Buff Clan for their primary source of defense, they become essentially runaways (hence the title). This is what I like, there is a lot of grey area here and neither the Buff Clan nor the humans are portrayed as evil, they're just ordinary people thrusted into circumstances beyond their control. And while the Buff Clan are aliens, all they are really trying to do is protect themselves from said weapon.
Here is an example of what I am getting at here: The Ideon and the Ideon and the Solo Ship are basically alive (thanks to the Id) and the Ideon basically has super powers (which I'm getting too). But its not a super hero, its a weapon of mass destruction, it can't work without people (or living things in general) inside of it. Its was also one of the first examples of a "Hybrid giant mecha anime," a genre that combines elements of both "Real Robot anime" (in where giant mecha is portrayed in a realistic way, such as Gundam) and Super Robot anime (anime in where the giant robots are basically super heroes such as Mazinger Z) in 1980 this was still pretty much a new thing and neat idea. Story wise, Ideon deals with themes such as the futility and stupidity of war, racism, xenophobia and the dangers thereof, death and rebirth, and of course the dangers of technology. Summer Sleeper, is this 'Id' energy source the Buff Clan are looking for connected to the Ideon and the Solo Ship?"
The colony is destroyed and the survivors (including Karala and her servant) take refuge on board the restored Solo Ship, which they then take off in and escape with the Buff Clan in hot pursuit. Our central characters, Cosmo Yuki the white teenage boy with a silly looking red Afro, the blond hair bitchy girl Kasha and the not quite comedy relief kid Deck and the head of planet Solo's military forces Jordan Bes, get on board the armored trucks and discover that these trucks combine into a giant mecha called, the "Ideon" (see picture on the left). The man in charge of the investigation sends a squad of planes to get her back and.well long story short: the planes can't find her, they think she and her servant were captured and they opened fire on the humans. When they discover that Solo is suddenly inhabited Karala, the daughter of the Buff Clan's supreme military commander, goes down the planet to get a closer look at the humans. Just as the colonist go about the task of restoring the ship and the trucks, a humanoid alien civilization called the Buff Clan (yeah, I laughed at first too), arrive at Solo while investigating the legend of the 'Id', an energy source that is said to be infinite. On the planet Solo in the Andromeda Galaxy, archaeologists uncover an alien spaceship (later dubbed the "Solo Ship") and three massive armored trucks. Ideon takes place far in the future where mankind has finally left Earth and colonized other planets. Here's the gist of the plot, and this will probably contain some spoilers, but I will be as vague as I can.

Yeah, yeah, dumb title is dumb title, but this series is anything but.
