On Ideon: Sadly, no sign of it as of yet (...which is a shame...I would prob. wet myself laughing when fanboys claim it ripped off EVA)
Unfortunately, given that all the companies are grabbing up newer titles it might be a while...

But then again, since ADV grabbed Dunbine, there's still some hope for it (if not, as I understand it, what Hks that do exist for it are actually pretty good)

In regards to subbed MSG: That's still in debates...there's talks that Bandai might rerelease it as a bilingual set, but nothing set in stone yet..

Either way, we're still not gonna get ep 15 over here

Thanks a ton for the info! I wouldn't mind getting HKs of either, but the only convention in my reach was last weekend and I couldn't find either, and I strongly dislike ordering bootlegs off of the internet. I guess I could just wait around and wait for these things to end up in a gettable position, it's not like I don't have other things to buy, but I would have liked to get them... oh well, there's time.

Well...since the thread's been brought back up...here's an update on Ideon:

Apparently, in light of the sales from Dunbine (which are coming up good...I'm kind of surprised given the fact ADV's given it very little marketing, but hey, so long as they release the rest of the series, I know I'm buying...) ADV's gonna start licensing more older mecha series.

They said they will soon be making a series of announcements that will, as they put it, blow the socks off mecha fans...

Right now two of the top candidates seem to be Space Runaway Ideon and Machine Walker Xabungle (...now if they can just secure the original Mazinger Z and Getter Robo, I'll be one happy bastard!)

While not techincly a anime, Check out the P&P RPG game Heavy Gear. Very grounded in science. If they ever made a Anime, I would buy it in a sec.
