Original does not = good.

One of the biggest rumors running this summer among Japanese fans online involves Studio GAINAX, presumably under the aegis of Director Hideaki Anno, re-editing and adding new animation footage to the original 1995 26 episode Evangelion TV series (ala Gundam Zeta) and releasing them as a series of new movies to Japanese theaters

Tomino created the real robot genre. Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam spawned a franchise that has produced 10 complete TV series (450+ episodes), 4 OVAs and over 10 movies. Tomino's creations completely dwarf that of Anno's. You have absolutely no credibility and no leg to stand on in this argument if you don't even know who Tomino is.
And Ideon's no slouch in Japan, Animag had it ranked as the #10 best anime of all time. Just because its virtually unknown in the US doesn't make it completely ignored garbage in Japan.

I don't see a Zeta Ideon or Ideon Seed following in its footsteps. I'll grant you Ideon was the first dark sci-fi anime with a apocalyptic ending out there but it was 15 years before another dark anime to appear-which is a lifetime in the anime. Like I said before, it's time. I wonder where Eva is on that list.![]()

Colossus, did you even read the thread? If not, do so. If you did, then do it again.
And watch Ideon.

DO NOT USE IDEON TO DEFEND YOUR ARGUMENT THAT RAHXEPHON ISNT A COPY. your making yourselves sound rediculous and you arent proving anything.

Levon wrote:There were other dark anime before EVA, just not with an apocalyptic ending from what I know. Zeta Gundam & Votoms are dark sci-fi anime. Zeta Gundam doesn't have an apocalyptic ending where the universe is destroyed or anything but it does have a very dark Kill Em' All Tomino ending. As well as in his Aura Battler Dunbine. Much like how the characters of EVA would die at the end, however there were much more main characters dieing in Tomino's endings.
Impossible for Ideon to have a sequel, just like its impossible for EVA to have a sequel.

Dr. Nick wrote:Yes, there is a difference. For what little I've seen, in Tomino's shows SPOILER! (highlight to read):characters tend not to return from the dead 15 minutes later.
