![]() Rather, I would like you to watch Ideon and reconsider the current situation of adults.įor example, our personal computers that we use in our daily lives cannot be used without entering a password. So when it comes to airing an Ideon-like story right now, there is a part of me that doesn’t consider this a simple rerun of a past show. Tomino: This is going to become a question of “what is intelligence?” but I feel that the political economy has deteriorated in every aspect over the last few years. Tomino’s point of view? Also, I would like to hear about the significance of broadcasting Ideon after 34 years. ――34 years have passed since Ideon broadcast in 1980. Tomino: You’re right! Cancel the broadcast of A Contact immediately! Hosoda: Since A Contact exists, it’s tempting to use it as a shortcut….if possible, it may be better to skip A Contact when you watch (laughs). Tomino: Ideon is a unique series that has never been blessed with such an opportunity so as you said, this chance is certainly valuable. This time, you can experience watching Ideon all the way from episode 1 through the movies with the image quality that matches high-definition TV, not the image quality of VHS or DVD. It’s easy to take the shortcut and just watch the movie versions, A Contact and Be Invoked. Hosoda: There aren’t many opportunities to look back at the TV series. ――Do you have any impressions about Ideon being broadcast on TV? What is the reason and significance of Ideon being broadcast on TV now? Tomino: In that sense, I’m really grateful for this interview opportunity, and I want to tell the fans, “In life, you should put in your best effort while you have the chance.” If this cross interview hadn’t happened, I would’ve just been saying “Incredible!” as I watched Ideon on WOWOW by myself (laughs). Because without interview opportunities like this, I wouldn’t even have a place to express my happiness. To that I can think, “I did well” and also reaffirm that “Hosoda is an enemy I must defeat,” so of course I am happy. In this conversation, I learned that Ideon is now a stepping stone for anime directors to enter the industry. Therefore, I’m really grateful that my work will be broadcast in such a situation. Tomino: You would think that with WOWOW and cable TV stations becoming so commonplace, it would be natural for things to be rebroadcast, but that’s often not the case. At that time, I never dreamed that I could talk about Ideon with Director Tomino himself, so I’m very honored. Hosoda: I saw Ideon on TV when I was in my first year of middle school, the films in my second year of middle school. ――First off, what are your impressions after the recorded interview? The effects that Ideon can have on modern society ![]() Written interview following the recording: There is a copy of this interview on niconico: Of course, there are moments where they discuss Ideon. Tomino went on to discuss various topics ranging from changes in animation he experienced from his early days to the present to filmmaking theories from the vantage point of “Internet video culture” etc. As someone from the younger generation, I find great pleasure in this fact.” in a slightly apologetic manner.Īfter that, Mr. Those creators that I looked up to back then continue to create work even after I, myself, have become a creator. ![]() Hosoda responded, “Folks from my parent’s generation spoke to me through the shows from my childhood. That’s why it’s an issue if young talent doesn’t emerge.” If you continue to do this as you approach your 60s, however, you begin to clearly see that you’re getting older. He continued with context behind this statement, “There is a way to work hard and diligently with your peers from the same generation. The first words out of Tomino’s mouth as soon as the recording began was “Mr. The Ideon Sword、Wave Leader Cannon, and Missile launch effect are also included.February 2014: Tomino and Hosoda got together for a discussion in celebration of the first TV rebroadcast of Ideon in high definition on WOWOW (Japanese broadcast station). Each part has a high degree of flexibility in the range of motion, allowing for a wide variety of poses. After 40 years, Aoshima finally releases a 1/450 scale plastic model of Ideon from its "Anime Scale" series, which was released at the same time of the broadcast and continued until 1982! The kit is a snap-kit model, color-coded and molded, with emphasis on proportions. The " Space Runaway Ideon " anime began airing in 1980.
