The Buff Clan are searching for The Ide, which may be an infinite energy source and also may be the will of "god", unfortunately the translation was not exactly clear on the second part. I have not been able to find the series in any form, but I have read synopsis and while "A Contact" does leave out a lot of plot details, it gives you all the important Character Information that you will need to empathize with the cast, though the entire thing comes across as a little rushed, compressing a 39 episode series into a 90 minute movie.įor the most part "A Contact" and "Be Invoked" follow the adventures of Cosmo, our knight in shining right red afro, The Ideon, the titular giant robot, and a crew of refugees from a colony planet which has come under assault from the brutal Buff Clan, a species of vulcan esque humans from another "Earth" somewhere in the galaxy.

The first movie in this double billing, A Contact, is similar to the Evangelion "movie" Death and Rebirth as it recounts the events of the series for those who haven't seen it. This is a review based on those two films. Because of the age of the series (1980), some extremely dated character designs, and its early cancellation and nonsensical ending as a result, it is highly unlikely that we will ever see Space Runaway Ideon in series or movie form on this side of the pacific, the two movies however are both available as Fan Subs through a myriad of channels. However all was not lost as Tomino managed to get the funding to make two movies based on the story, The Ideon: A Contact, a recap of the main plot points of the series and The Ideon: Be Invoked, the grand finale to the series that Tomino was unable to present in televised format.

Unable to attain his desired four episode extension, Tomino was forced to wrap up the shows plot in the final two minutes of the last episode, an unsatisfying ending to say the least. After the cancellation of the original Mobile Suit Gundam in 1979, series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino went on to direct another popular giant robot show, Space Runaway Ideon, which was prematurely cancelled.
