With work and all, sometimes I get tied up and the Anime backlog just finds a way to keep logging! So as with is everything, I had to make some time to get through some of this backlog, but where to begin. That’s the problem with these anime’s is that you don’t know if somethings going to be a hit, or if something is going to be a bomb! Take my experiences in the past for example, Basilisk looked like a great Anime, but after getting into the first couple of episodes, definitely not for me!

Getting back to Heroic Age, this is one that you have to download and watch! What is it like–it’s like Eureka Seven, meets Gundam, meets StarGate! At any rate, a great anime! The story is about Nodos which are these super mechs that are left by the creators of the galaxy as the ultimate power in the galaxy. THere are these tribes that manage the relationships within the galaxy and need to reach a certain point in time before they assend. The Iron Tribe, which is essentially the humans, find the last Nodos and then go to war with the Silver and Bronze tribes who are the two over-arching powers in the galaxy. The last Nodos, Age, bonds with the princess of the Iron tribe who has powers similar to that in the Silver tribes (telepathy) and needs to find a way past the war that her brothers are driving the galaxy into, and then a way to open the door that leads to ascension.

The series only has 26 episodes, but unlike other series that drag on and on, these 26 episodes are captivating and will keep you drawn in and engaged until the very end. I do have to say that I was a bit disappointing be it that it was a bit expected, but much better than say the ending of Eureka Seven that absolutely had me at tears (which happens all too infrequently, but is more than welcome for a series to try and draw those emotions).
