Director Yoshiyuki Tomino achieved gold with Mobile Suit Gundam, but much of the mecha anime's success came from its toy sales. Space Runaway Ideon is a brand new mecha anime franchise of his, so it possesses a lot of ambition, but also room for failure. It became a departure from the Real Robot branch for which Gundam is known.Despite those factors, this mecha anime still captures the hearts of fans of the mechanical genre. Both the mecha anime series and the ending of Space Runaway Ideon: Be Invoked were uncompromising works that pushed the anti-war message to the extreme. This makes anime an essential work for fans of mechanical anime.
