Reideen (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese animated television series remake of the 1975 Super Robot anime Reideen The Brave. It was produced by Production I.G and directed by Mitsuru Hongo. It was originally broadcast on the satellite network Wowow in 2007. Sentai Filmworks has licensed the anime for North American release.[1]
The anime series has a two-volume manga counterpart, running in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Ace from November 25, 2006, to July 26, 2007.
The show is the only entry of the Reideen series to not be animated by Sunrise who previously animated the original 1975 Brave Reideen and the 1996 re-imagining Reideen the Superior.
Overview
[edit]Junki Saiga is a normal high school student with a gift in mathematics. His daily routine is disrupted when his family gets news that his father's remains have been discovered - a noted archaeologist and researcher who had gone missing while exploring a site many years before. Among his remains were notes and artifacts that needed to be identified by the family near a notable triangular mountain in Japan known as "Japan's pyramid", a place suspected by some to be man-made.
A meteor containing a strange robotic life-form falls from the sky and begins to cause destruction, putting Junki in danger and causing a mysterious bracelet from his father's research to activate and merge him with an ancient robot buried within the pyramid - a robot the runes describe as Reideen. It is now up to Junki and guardian Reideen to fight against this unknown alien threat from the sky.
As the story progresses attacks come from multiple directions: the main aliens, who only want Reideen's power, and will then raze the Earth and move on; a faction within the Vigilance Corps (similar to Japan's Self Defense Force) that wishes to discredit and remove Reideen in favor of Human-built remote-controlled mecha; and Roxell, an alien with horns on his head who used a similar giant named Gadion on his homeworld, only to be defeated by the overseer aliens, and his planet destroyed. Some of these enemies want Reideen with or without Junki as its pilot/power source, while others just want Junki/Reideen out of the way.
Junki grows continually torn between doing what only he can do, in piloting Reideen against the giant beast machines sent to destroy cities and the landscape, and his enemies' attacks toward him while he does not receive any help from the Vigilance Corps nor his friends.

Synopsis
Plot Summary
Junki Saiga, a high school student with a talent for mathematics, leads a typical life until his family receives news that the remains of his archaeologist father, missing for years, have been discovered at a remote excavation site near a mysterious pyramid-shaped mountain.[2] The family travels to the location, where Junki finds a peculiar golden bracelet among his father's artifacts, which he decides to keep.[2] Shortly thereafter, a meteor crashes nearby, unleashing a destructive robotic entity that endangers Junki and activates the bracelet, linking it to his father's research on ancient relics from the pyramid site.[5] The bracelet, known as the God Bracelet, empowers Junki to summon and pilot Reideen, an enormous ancient robot guardian designed to protect Earth, marking his transformation into the defender against the invading alien forces, an extraterrestrial threat seeking domination.[2][5] Initial battles see Junki, with Reideen, clashing against the alien invaders' mechanical beasts that ravage urban areas, forcing him to balance his ordinary teenage life with these high-stakes confrontations.[6] The narrative unfolds over 26 episodes, drawing in the Vigilance Corps, a specialized Japanese defense unit akin to the Self-Defense Forces, which monitors supernatural threats but harbors internal divisions—some members view Reideen as an uncontrollable ancient power and advocate for reliance on human-engineered mecha instead.[5] These conflicts intensify as the alien invaders' assaults escalate, launching coordinated invasions that cause widespread devastation and personal tragedies for Junki, including losses among his close circle, while he grapples with visions and clues unraveling his family's ties to the pyramid's secrets.[5] Reideen's full ancient origins come to light through rune inscriptions and historical echoes tied to the pyramid, positioning it as a pivotal force against the alien invaders' ambitions to harness its energy for planetary conquest.[5] The story builds to intense showdowns with the alien invaders' high-ranking commanders, including figures like the horned warrior Roxell, culminating in resolutions that address the invasions and Junki's inherited legacy.[5]Themes and Setting
The setting of Reideen is primarily modern Japan, where everyday life is shattered by the arrival of destructive alien forces originating from a meteor that unleashes robotic invaders intent on harnessing the power of an ancient guardian robot. Battles unfold across urban landscapes, archaeological sites like a mysterious triangular mountain structure interpreted as a man-made pyramid, and incursions into alien dimensions, highlighting the clash between contemporary society and otherworldly threats.[2][7] Central themes revolve around human-alien conflict, as Earth's defenders confront extraterrestrial aggressors seeking to exploit Reideen's energy for planetary destruction, underscoring humanity's vulnerability and resilience in the face of superior technology. The narrative explores the burden of destiny imposed on youth, with protagonist Junki Saiga, a high school student, compelled to pilot the ancient mecha amid personal and global stakes. Motifs of archaeology and lost civilizations are woven throughout, tying into Reideen's mythological origins as a protector from a forgotten Earth era, evoked through runes on the pyramid that foretell its awakening.[2][7] The God Bracelet serves as a powerful symbol of inheritance and responsibility, connecting the present to the ancient past by activating upon contact with Saiga's father's archaeological findings, thereby binding him to Reideen's legacy and emphasizing themes of reluctant guardianship passed down through generations. Junki's personal growth amid these conflicts reflects the series' focus on youthful maturity under existential pressure. The Vigilance Corps represents organized human resistance, bridging military strategy with the supernatural elements of the lore.[2][7]Production
Development and Staff
The 2007 anime series Reideen was developed as a modern remake of the 1975 super robot classic Brave Raideen, with production announced in October 2006 by Production I.G and Tohokushinsha Film Corporation. The project aimed to revive the original concept for contemporary viewers through updated storytelling and advanced animation, with the series premiering on WOWOW in spring 2007. Director Mitsuru Hongo, known for prior works like Outlaw Star and IGPX, led the effort to blend traditional 2D animation with innovative 3D computer-generated imagery (CGI) for mecha sequences, emphasizing realistic weight and scale in robot movements rather than stylized speed.[8][9] Key creative staff included scriptwriters Masahiro Yokotani, who handled the majority of episodes including the series composition, alongside contributions from Kuniaki Kasahara, Toshimitsu Takeuchi, Makiko Asano, and Hongo himself. Character designs were crafted by Takuya Saitō, while mechanical designs for the robots were developed by Shinji Aramaki and Atsushi Takeuchi, focusing on refined aesthetics that paid homage to the original while incorporating modern details. The soundtrack was composed by Yoshihiro Ike, drawing on his experience from projects like Blood: The Last Vampire to create an atmospheric score that enhanced the series' dramatic tone. Sound direction was overseen by Masafumi Mima.[2][10] Production choices highlighted the integration of CGI to elevate action scenes, with 3D CGI director Shigeki Hayashi joining in March 2006 to oversee modeling, animation, and visual effects for key mecha like Reideen and Jinrai. Techniques avoided cel-shading and heavy outlines per Hongo's vision, instead prioritizing slow, deliberate motions to convey the robots' immense size and power, with reusable animation assets for efficiency in transformation sequences. This approach marked a departure from pure 2D traditions, allowing for dynamic bank shots and environmental interactions developed in close collaboration with the mechanical designers and storyboard artists. No specific budget figures were disclosed, but the use of high-quality CGI underscored Production I.G's commitment to technical innovation in the remake.[9][2]Relation to the Original Series
The original Reideen the Brave (1975) is a super robot anime series produced by Tohokushinsha Film Corporation in collaboration with Asahi News Agency and Soeisha (later renamed Sunrise), airing for 50 episodes on NET (now TV Asahi) from April 4, 1975, to March 26, 1976.[4][11] This series established foundational elements of the mecha genre, blending mythological themes with giant robot battles in a tokusatsu-inspired style that emphasized dramatic transformations and heroic confrontations. The 2007 remake retains the core concept of Reideen as an ancient, bird-like guardian mecha awakened to protect Earth, piloted by a young protagonist against extraterrestrial invaders known as the Demon Empire.[2] Shared artifacts like the God Bracelet, which enables psychic control of the robot, underscore these continuities between the two iterations. In contrast, the 2007 series introduces significant updates, adopting a darker tone with psychological depth in character motivations and interpersonal conflicts, diverging from the original's more straightforward heroic narrative.[12] It features a condensed 26-episode run, allowing for tighter pacing compared to the original's 50 episodes, and employs contemporary digital animation techniques that replace the 1970s-era cel animation and practical model effects with fluid, biomechanical visuals.[13][1] The Reideen franchise, originating from the 1975 series, exerted influence beyond anime, notably through its adaptation into the Western Shogun Warriors toy line by Mattel, where Reideen (rebranded as Raydeen) became a flagship figure in the 1970s lineup of die-cast robots, popularizing Japanese mecha designs in international markets.[11])Characters
Shirasagi Unit
The Shirasagi Unit, also known as the White Herons Unit, operates as the primary operational team within the Vigilance Corps of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), formed specifically to support and protect the ancient guardian robot Reideen during its engagements. Composed of military personnel blending conventional tactics with extraordinary abilities, the unit navigates the complexities of deploying a high school pilot and supernatural assets against otherworldly threats. Their structure emphasizes tactical coordination, reconnaissance, and special operations, all while adhering to JSDF protocols amid debates over the ethical and strategic implications of Reideen's involvement. At the heart of the unit is Junki Saiga, a 15-year-old high school student exceptionally gifted in mathematics, who serves as Reideen's pilot after the robot activates through a mysterious bracelet tied to his late father's archaeological expeditions. Junki grapples with profound family trauma from his father's disappearance a decade earlier, an event that initially disrupts his ordinary life and propels him into the unit's fold, forcing rapid maturation under intense pressure.[14][2] Lieutenant Taro Maedasaki, aged 30, functions as the unit's tactical leader and Junki's primary mentor, offering guidance that humanizes the pilot beyond his role as an asset. An audiophile with a deep fascination for out-of-place artifacts, Maedasaki's background in artifact research leads him to Reideen, and he employs Junki part-time to build trust, prioritizing personal support within the rigid JSDF framework.[15][5] Soji Terasaki, a 23-year-old field operative, specializes in combat and reconnaissance, excelling in hand-to-hand fighting and marksmanship to provide direct battlefield support. As the unit's frontline soldier, Terasaki's expertise ensures rapid response capabilities, complementing the team's overall defensive posture around Reideen.[15] Hana Hoshikawa, 25 and notably tall, brings psychic prowess to the unit as an esper capable of telekinesis, teleportation, object reading, and heightened intuition, which she leverages for intelligence gathering and special operations. Despite her supernatural talents, Hoshikawa emphasizes practical combat skills, integrating seamlessly with the unit's military structure to handle unconventional threats.[15] The Shirasagi Unit's internal dynamics highlight tensions within the JSDF over Reideen's deployment, as members balance adherence to military protocol with the integration of supernatural elements like Hoshikawa's abilities and the ancient origins of Reideen itself. Assigned collectively to monitor and safeguard Junki, Maedasaki fosters a supportive environment that mitigates these frictions, promoting cohesion through mentorship and shared reliance on each member's strengths during operations.[16][5]Allies and Antagonists
Kobayakawa Shiori serves as Junki Saiga's childhood friend and classmate, offering emotional support amid his personal challenges and involvement with Reideen.[17] Her role emphasizes personal stakes for Junki, providing a grounding influence as he navigates the alien threat.[2] Midorino Akira is an enigmatic girl who joins Junki's class after her home is destroyed in Reideen's initial battle against the invaders.[18] With hidden ties to ancient lore, she becomes a key ally, contributing mysterious insights and support that deepen the protagonists' understanding of the conflict.[19] The primary antagonists are the Demon Empire, a biomechanical alien force led by Emperor Barao, who awaken after 12 millennia to conquer Earth.[20] Driven by the need to seize control of the planet's resources due to depletion in their own dimension, they deploy robeasts and generals with distinct abilities, such as Guvaaru's commanding presence, to overwhelm human defenses.[21] Their invasion creates direct opposition to Reideen and the Shirasagi Unit, viewing Earth's energy sources as essential for their survival and expansion.[2] Within human organizations, factional opponents emerge in the form of anti-Reideen hardliners in the Vigilance Corps, who distrust the ancient robot's power and seek to suppress or control it for their own strategic interests.[2] These internal conflicts add layers of tension, as the hardliners' motivations stem from fear of Reideen's unpredictable nature and potential threat to established military authority.[15]Reideen
Design and Forms
Reideen is portrayed as a colossal super robot with majestic bird-inspired aesthetics, unearthed from ancient ruins resembling a triangular pyramid structure at Mount Kurokami in Japan.[10] This design draws from mythological elements, emphasizing its role as a guardian entity with a golden, imposing humanoid form that evokes power and antiquity. The robot's exterior features intricate rune-like engravings, reflecting its origins in a long-lost civilization that constructed it as Earth's protector against existential threats.[2] Central to Reideen's lore is its activation mechanism: the God Bracelet, an artifact discovered through archaeological research, which powers the robot and enables pilot synchronization for operation. Built by this ancient civilization during a prehistoric era, Reideen was sealed away within the pyramid until modern threats necessitate its awakening, symbolizing a bridge between past and present in defending the planet. The base configuration maintains a towering humanoid silhouette, optimized for terrestrial combat with robust armor plating and articulated limbs for versatility.[2] Reideen possesses multiple transformation modes to adapt to diverse environments. The God Bird form shifts the robot into a sleek, avian aerial configuration, where a bird-like head emerges from the back, wings unfold, and limbs retract into streamlined engines for supersonic flight and high-altitude maneuvers. Complementing this is the God Marine mode, an aquatic adaptation that equips Reideen with fin-like extensions and sealed joints for underwater propulsion and submerged operations. These forms highlight the robot's modular design, allowing seamless reconfiguration without compromising structural integrity.[2][9] The 2007 iteration's design evolved significantly from the 1975 original, incorporating refined mechanical detailing by designers Atsushi Takeuchi and Shinji Aramaki to enhance visual depth and lore consistency. While the predecessor relied on traditional 2D cel animation for its movements, the remake employs high-quality 3D CG techniques under 3D Director Seiki Hayashi, enabling intricate transformation sequences and a deliberate "slow" motion style that conveys the mecha's immense scale and weight. This CG approach facilitates fluid yet weighty depictions of form shifts, distinguishing it from faster-paced contemporaries while honoring the source material's foundational transforming mecha concepts.[2][9]Weapons and Equipment
Reideen's primary weapons form a core part of its combat effectiveness, drawing from ancient technological designs to counter the Demon Empire's colossal beast machines. The God Arrow is an energy projectile launched from a materialized bow on Reideen's left arm, delivering explosive impacts that can create localized disruptions in enemy formations.[22] The God Wand serves as a beam emitter staff, used for detecting hidden foes or amplifying other attacks by splitting energy blasts into multiple targeted streams.[19] Complementing these are melee options like the God Sword, an energy blade extended from the arm for close-quarters slashing, and the God Blade, a giant melee sword summoned for devastating cuts against larger adversaries.[19] Beyond weapons, Reideen possesses several special abilities that enhance its tactical versatility. The God Voice emits a sonic pulse capable of long-range communication or disrupting enemy systems through vibrational interference.[2] God Wind generates a high-speed piercing attack by channeling air currents into razor-sharp gusts for rapid strikes. The Flash Drive provides a boost for supersonic travel, allowing Reideen to close distances quickly or evade incoming threats during battle.[19] Support equipment includes a bracelet interface worn by the pilot, which facilitates summoning and synchronization with Reideen, enabling mode shifts through modular parts that adapt the mecha's configuration. Energy shields can be deployed for defensive barriers, absorbing or deflecting projectile fire. However, these systems come with limitations, such as high energy drain that necessitates precise pilot synchronization to avoid overload, and vulnerability to specialized anti-mecha technologies employed by the Demon Empire.[2]Adaptations
Anime Series
The 2007 anime adaptation of Reideen, produced by Production I.G, consists of 26 episodes and originally aired on the Japanese satellite network WOWOW from March 3 to September 1, 2007.[2] The series follows a weekly broadcast schedule on Saturdays, introducing the protagonist Junki Saiga and the ancient guardian robot Reideen as they confront the invading Demon Empire.[23] Sentai Filmworks licensed the series for North American release in 2014, issuing subtitled DVDs in two collections.[24] The episode structure divides into three main arcs: an early setup spanning episodes 1–6, which establishes the core characters, the discovery of Reideen, and initial threats from the antagonists; mid-season conflicts in episodes 7–18, focusing on escalating battles, team dynamics within the Shirasagi Unit, and revelations about the ancient civilization; and a climax in episodes 19–26, building to the final confrontations and resolution of the invasion.[2] The full episode list, with English-translated titles and original air dates, is as follows:| Episode | Title (English) | Air Date |
