Heroic Age

When the Golden Race invited other races to join them in the stars, three sentient races answered their call. The Goldens called them the Bronze, Silver and Heroic Tribes. Just before the Gold Tribe left to travel to another Universe, a fourth race appeared, traveling to the stars on their own accomplishments. The Golds named the human race the Iron Tribe. During the passing of time, humanity suffers at the hands of the more dominant races and is now facing extinction. Following a prophecy left by the Gold Tribe, Princess Deianeira sets out to search for the powerful being who might be able to save humankind. She meets a wild haired boy on an abandoned planet—a fateful encounter that will not only change the fortunes of Humanity, but also the fate of the universe.

Every genre has certain themes that are considered its staples - the building blocks of stories that have been, or are yet to be told. One of the most common elements in science fiction is the Earth being attacked by an alien force with superior technology, and there are numerous stories about this topic in everything from radio plays to comic books (with a few Hollywood blockbusters thrown in for good measure). These tales are usually resolved by the use of human ingenuity and courage, together with a healthy dose of serendipity (the battleship just happened to be there).

But what happens when the enemy really ...

Heroic Age is a Space, Sci-fi, Action, Adventure with a story basically about mankind's struggle to exist in the galaxy and to carry out instructions laid out by the Golden Tribe. The basic premise of the story itself is great but not original, but at least it's made easy to understand with the superb intros in the first couple of episode. There happen to be some similarities in this anime's plot and Star Wars IV and some other sci-fi anime; Vandread and Gundam Seed. So this is an anime Star Wars fans can enjoy however don't expect to see any lightsaber duels.

The battles in this ...

Mixed Feelings

So, take one part Neon Genesis Evangelion, one part Mobile Suit Gundam and one part of extremely boring political intrigue, mix thoroughly and boil for 26 episodes, and you will receive a product that equals Heroic Age. Even though the first few episodes held so much promise for this anime series, the repetition of battles and the boring political talk between plain looking characters is what takes the heroic out of the anime, Heroic Age.

The story is your pretty standard inter-galactic war plot, with a few new wrinkles added in to create something original. The Golden Tribe used to rule over the universe ... a long time ago, but with its sudden disappearance, the Silver Tribe has been the dominant one throughout the universe. However, with the rebellion of the humans, a war breaks out. The Silver Tribe (superior beings), the Bronze Tribe (humans) and the Iron Tribe (an insect race) are the participants in this war. What makes the war interesting is the battles fought between Nodos. The Nodos - a powerful being that looks oddly similar to an Eva - are monsters that are hidden within the soul of people that are from the once-thought extinct Heroic Tribe. Each Nodos has been sworn to oath set by the Golden Tribe that he/she must fulfill.

The character art is boring, enough said. All of the characters look relatively plain and uninteresting. And as a result, will not spark much interest in you, as the viewer, and will unfortunately, at times, make you become bored with the anime. The animation, on the other hand, is pretty good. A bunch of repeated frames for sure, but compared to the art, it's not so bad.

The sound, although nothing remarkable as well, is pretty decent. There are a few scores which you might start playing in your head a few times. The voices to all the characters fit them well, but you can sense an apparent lack of emotion in all of them.

You'll find your average set of protagonists and antagonists in this anime. You have your basic good-willed princess, a commander who will fight for her, and even a big-breasted female general. Even Age, the main character, is nothing special, as his appearance will undoubtedly look familiar and you'll wish he never got that haircut after the first episode. Probably the most annoying characters you'll find in this anime is the princess' brothers, who are your typical hungry-power people willing to sacrifice everyone for their gain. They are a waste of space, in my opinion.

Heroic Age would have garnered a bit of a higher score from me if it were not for the extremely uneventful and boring episodes that occur right in the middle of the anime. The first nine or so shows are interesting, but then after that, there's another nine or ten in which the same thing seems to happen over and over again. In addition, the constant unemotional speeches from everyone will have you yawning in no time.

From the review I have written above, it seems that I made it out so that Heroic Age has no good points whatsoever, which is definitely not true and hence why I haven't given it a 1/10. The Nodos battles are really epic and its interesting to see what kind of powers and attacks they develop. You'll also be interested in the hint of love between Princess Deianeira and Age, which is rather amusing to watch. You'll also see many reference to the Greek Mythology version of the Heroic Age and its always fun to see them and point them out to yourself.

In the end, Heroic Age is an anime to be seen if there is nothing else out there that you are interested in and want to pass your time.
