This would continue across the whole series and you would imagine the message should be pretty self evident, but perhaps in a misguided attempt to an extra layer to the plot, Tomino made the decision to add the Ide plotline to the story, which depending on luck, either seems to add a layer of mystery to an episodes or arcs storyline, or make it all but incomprehensible. Things get off to a rocky start between the two cultures, and this is where the series main theme appears to come into play, that being, a lack of trust and understanding between two otherwise similar cultures that causes them to fight and kill each other in a building and seemingly neverending cycle of hatred. Soon enough like many Tomino series the colonists find themselves under attack by the Buff Clan, an alien race who’s legend of the Ide, a hero who would smite evil and lead their civilization to glory, has led them to Solo or Logo Dau as they call it in an attempt to seize the Ideon. Space Runaway Ideon starts off humble enough with a crew of human colonists on the planet Solo unearthing an ancient relic of the “6th Civilization” in the form of a battleship that is dubbed the Solo Ship by it’s crew, and 3 mobile vehicles that eventually combine into a giant mobile mecha called the Ideon. Join me as I tell the story of my adventure with the Solo Ship crew in trying to figure out just what the hell the overall message of the series was supposed to be. As I finally finished the series tonight, I found that this would be the least of the series problems with ambiguity that would ultimately lead to it being far less well received by me then it could have been. Is it Space Runaway Ideon or Densetsu Kyojin Ideon. Space Runaway Ideon, a series so ambiguous that it can’t even decide what it’s supposed to be called.
