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.

Heroic Age stands as a timeless gem in the realm of space-travel anime, a genre I typically didn't explore until this captivating series emerged. What sets this anime apart is its ability to captivate audiences through a lovable and sincere main male character, whose honesty and endearing nature draw viewers into his world.

The mecha battles amidst the vast expanse of space are nothing short of captivating, offering thrilling sequences that keep you on the edge of your seat. What makes these battles even more enthralling is the seamless integration of magic into the technological prowess of the mechas. This synergy between magic and technology adds ...

Mixed Feelings

In the beginning it gives out Battlestar Galactica feelings, humans running away from an unbeatable foe. It is too much magic to be just sci f and to me it is more like fantasy in space. Magic goes anywhere from teleportation, telekinesis, telepathic communication, to a weird Deus Ex Machina, where a "tribe" became literal gods, though they were not. But oh yes, they were. So it's a mixed bag of lore, which feels contradictory, kinda very religious like.

Battles feel too repetitive, with some literally recycling animations for most of it. But in the end it is well made, though it does drag on. If ...

Story (3/10): very dragged. Extremely dragged. I think, every plot has crucial events required for creating its vision in your mind and some less important periods in between, where average life happens. The story here mixes what's important and what's not, doesn't highlight events worth noting and has them all too rare.
Let's look at an example. The synopsis says "...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..." From the first episode you see Deianeira has only one ship and it's obviously a search party, not something ... able to counter-strike as soon as they find Age. So, they need some kind of a rendezvous with their main forces. And it happens in the freaking 10th episode. 35% of this anime, more than one third, is stupid traveling with some skirmishes on the way and achieving the very very first step in what humanity needs to do. To make matters worse, it's plain obvious to you as a viewer that they will succeed, but the first 9 episodes are still there. Nothing meaningful seems to actually happen at that time and you're just watching events... having no real value behind them and that's how the story keeps on going till it ends. During all the screentime, fights tend to get stretched and go on episode in episode out without any climatic release or again, at least some turning point. It's just like Naruto but without flashbacks...
It's worth noting all planets are actually very important and somewhat connected with life in this universe. The show doesn't bother to tell you about the reasons or at least the simple fact of it even when one planet is destroyed, so you have no clue why characters cry or are shocked by it. Their reaction and real repercussions only become clear later, in the second half of the anime.
There is also a plot point that humanity has some special features which are very rare in the universe and were previously only discovered in guess what? The Golden Tribe, the most powerful, beautiful and benevolent tribe and all other tribes of course don't have such qualities. It's such a cliche it's almost appalling.

Art and sound (both 8/10): quite good. Beautiful effects, futuristic designs (for everything from helmet interface to control rooms), realistic art style, majestic and somewhat classical soundtracks (which I liked a lot despite the overall impression), calm and not over-the-top voices of real human beings (not something you'd find often in anime). All in all it's impressive and immersive. I don't often enjoy the art and can easily ignore it but some scenes here really caught my eye and even had me rewind just to enjoy them again.

Characters (4/10): there isn't really much to say. Characters are refreshingly calm and not overexcited with everything. It's pleasant to see cast resembling real people. However, only protagonists have this luxury but even then they are just there and just do something. Nobody really changes because the whole story tends to be static.
On a little bright side, Age is not motivated by revenge and doesn't even perceive this war as his own goal, he just participates in it because doing so is set in his agreement and his future. It's interesting that fighting is kind of his duty and no more so he doesn't have much emotions about this war despite being part of species that's on the brink of annihilation.

Enjoyment (2/10): watching this was a tedious task.

Overall (3/10). The show has captivating premise (I like stories about societies on the brink of extinction) and the first episodes are both promising and beautiful. But as the time goes, story doesn't progress much, nothing really happens, you just see amazing art and can enjoy the soundtrack. In the end, it's just a pretty shell without the core - story and chatacters. This result is quite disappointing given the beginning and originality of some concepts - it all got wasted by terrible execution.
