| Well, anime was surely a good one. Through the first 5 episodes, intros with the Golden Race entrusting the quest to the immature ones was really epic, it made me get goosebumps, in a positive way :P Music is really good, effects and art. Princess was somehow really irritating while hamming and all that annoying stuff, but it ended pretty good. Team work among Nodos was really something, it was exciting and satisfying. But, there were also some really funny points to the anime itself, I mean, if you put romance, emotions, battle and all main points aside , it was quite hilarious, here's one of the many examples: Megaton Punch - Bellcross punches BLACK HOLES. Also the basic attack Bellcross will always use. Memetic Mutation states that Bellcross can punch anything. At one point in the series, he punches the extra-dimensional void which has isolated him and the other Nodos from the universe itself. --Yes, Bellcross punched nothing, because the nothing was in his way.-- see, but again, it's just another of many charms of this anime. Im glad I watched it :) |

| Oh man, this anime is one of the most addicting anime I ever watched. I could not stop watching it... But holy fuck did it piss me off. I hated the characters so god dammed much. This is the first anime that I watched where I hated the characters but still ended up liking it. |
| There was many confusing points of the anime. Maybe because I watch the dubbed version? I find that the characters are drawn very skinny... Especially Karkinos Rucan. His voice was cool but like wow! His body!! Disregard that... I kinda wanted an ending that would make the series continue. But the ending for Heroic Age wasn't too bad. But seriously! All the women characters started to look like Dhianeila! Very touching ending. But sort of confused also. Did they went to the other world? Thats probably my top wonders of this whole series :D |
 |
| nice ending..the only thing i hoped for is that they could have add some more romantic scenes throughout the series... |
 |
| Great ending although the show overal...didn't click imo. Maybe, that's just me though. |
 |
| Amazing anime. One flaw, I agree on that this series needed more romance as it was kinda made as as mix of searching for humankind's place in universe and romantic story but that romance part had been only hinted until very last episode where it was finally shown kinda. Even though it lacked romance and I'm romance lover on top of that, i still gave it 9/10 as it had kept me in awe for long enough :) over all 9/10 Sent with Mal Updater |

| Very enjoyable series. The story while not exactly groundbreaking is interesting enough, and there's a nice balance between battle scenes and dialogue. If anything, they could have maybe made some of the dialogue between Lecty and the Silver Tribe less cryptic. The animation was good and the music was excellent. I wish they made more series like this. A keeper for me. |

| That was all over the place, the ending was somewhat decent but was mediocre as well. The art was terrible and bland, the middle really dragged on, it felt like nothing was happening and the exact same things were happening over and over again. And no one even died. Xebec tried to mindfuck with this complex plot but it made no sense. Cool concept but a fail. Age being an autistic retard was pretty annoying too. 5/10 |
| So... Full happy end. 7/10. |
 |
| What for the god's sake is that Other Universe? Can't sleep at nights trying to imagine |
 |
| I liked the last few Episodes :3 And i think Deineira went with age to the other universe Cause in the last few seconds it looks like she went back in time and got into her space suite . :/ And one more thing if she left to the other universe who will give the iron race and other races the powers of the hedron shields and telepathy .[ which contracts with the above] But I really think that the first one is most likely what really happened P.S I hate it when they make it an open end makes my head spin :@ |
     |
| Hmm I don't think Dhianeira left with Age. It was Age who returned and stayed with Dhianeira. I mean, the whole series Dhianeira's always been portrayed as someone who will be the human race's guide. She wouldn't just up and leave because the boy she likes came back. Though I do think she will go to the other universe eventually. I think that's what the whole 'she changed in to her space suit' scene is about. With Age (the key) back with them, they can just go whenever they want. When Oron was restored, Mobeed did say "the gate has always been there" so yeah :) Another great space anime from Xebec. A solid 9/10 |

| whew, heroic age for me is a very romantic story. that #12 contract-what age wished for is the restoration of the planet oron. i remember the golden tribe being with age and telling him about the future, that's why he made that wish-knowing that after opening the gate means parting with Dhianeila and the only way to go back lies in oron. great ending for me, thinking back that he knew it all along, that's why he can fight without reserve or second doubt. Because he had already fallen for Dhianeila long before they've even met. |

For I am aware of my own ignorance, thus i won't judge you |
| Absolutely fantastic ending! Dhianeila is such a powerful and purehearted character, I'm speechless. Age/Belcross - one of the strongest, badass and lovable characters who ever graced anime screens as well. Loved every second of this anime. 9/10! |
| This one had been sitting in my Plan to Watch list for little over a year, oh had I wish I didn't procrastinate in watching this rather nice gem of a show. It had elements from just about every mecha series that I have watched, but at the same time it was also far more enjoyable than I had expected, it also was a boost that I'm infatuated with Greek mythology. 9/10 |

| It's always satisfying to finish a journey that has complete closure. The reunion between Age and Dhianeila was very touching especially with the ending song playing in the background. The way Age held out his hand and appeared as a silhouette in a golden light just added to the romanticism of the moment. And so concludes this adventure. Overall this turned out to be a very interesting experience that made great use of the idea of prophecy to weave together this story of a war torn universe reaching peace and order via a common goal. Strangely enough no one of importance died but I think that in the Nodos' case that enhanced the story since the inconsistencies in the agreements were a result of the tribes failing to understand how they needed to be applied. I won't say that this was completely unpredictable, but every time that I thought it was going to go down a recognizable path, it would veer away and do something different. For example, when Dhianeila was able to make contact with and establish friendly relationships with the Tribe of Silver. Speaking of, I really enjoyed her character and the mix of insight, kindness, and wisdom overflowing from her. Age too was a very wise character who understood the prophecy the best which is what made him so unwavering. His monkey moments were hilarious too. P-A-I-N-T. I rarely comment on the technical side of a show but the ost really stuck out to me. It was very grand and stopped at nothing to make itself known. I'm glad I picked this up on a complete whim (the name was just too eye catching!). Very satisfying story. 8 - 8.5/10 |

| 9/10!!!! I was hoping for Age to return and damn right it happened. Loved this ending. The whole plot was amazing and interesting. Only con would be the fights dragging on but that wasn't a big deal. Loved the romance hints and subplot every main character, especially the obviously implied ones. (Bit of a problem with the grey loli and purple-guy). The MC is one interesting character, little development but it was fleshed out and really wasn't needed. Amazing OST, need to find it, goes well with the battle scenes. The princess is so cute though, that VA suited her well. I was instantly looking for a OVA when i finished this episode, wanted to see where they headed off to. :( |

| The ending sure was a lot better in terms of quality and OST, however it did drag on for a lot of episodes. Also, it would be nice if I could see something from that other universe :) :) 7/10 |

| Touching and epic ending. ; ) I feel like my emotions have been pummeled to their full extent. Scazoff said: The princess is so cute though, that VA suited her well. :( agreed |
| I lol-ed hard at the end ,like this was supposed to be this big dramatic and romantic reunion between the 2 when it barely touched upon (or not at all depending on your viewpoint) as something resembling a romance in the entire series.I couldn't care less if Age was alive or not since he was nothing more than a absolute tool for the plot and was one note as possible. Anyway decent series I suppose,to much mindless action sequences that dragged on and on for something that wanted to be a serious space opera for my liking.It really felt as the much needed "human" element ,for the characters and story, just wasn't there at all.It could have absolutely needed a romance subplot,some back-story for the characters,more world-building.... just anything to drive the point across that we should care about any of them or whats happening. But in the end it doesn't ever matter,none of the the main or even side characters died (not even those 2 idiotic brothers) and overall it didn't feel like anything was ever at stake ,and even if it was it was quickly reassured in the very next scene/episode. |

| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| Not a bad series at all. The story wasn't quite the forte (plot holes galore lolz), but still better than a lot of the other sci-fi/mecha series out there. I didn't realize how short Yuty was, like damn. I wish they showed us the other universe. |

| absolutely loved the series.. I wish we got to see more of an epilogue but that may be my greedy side getting the better of me.. 9/10 |
| Pretty average anime, but that ending was simply awesome. |
byae said: indeed hahaFun episode.. anyone else think that it was sort of selfish for Age to make the princess run through the water at the end? lol :) The VAs were great and dialogue was entertaining as well. Very underrated series sadly :( |
| For the ending, I am pretty sure Age and Dhianeila went to the other side. Since the entire series hinted that those who are ready get to make the "next journey". This anime is a nice gem. I never came across it before, and after watching it I can safely say that even though this anime had many problems (plot, characters, etc.) I always give extra point or two for Anime's not set in a high school setting. It is clear that the creative team were trying to do something ambitious but like most ambitious projects they didn't exactly pull it off. I do like the symbolism, religious references, and mythology the writers did pull from to add depth to the plot. The action sequences weren't half bad either. A solid 7/10 or 8/10. I think that the people that really hated the show either didn't like a lot of the bland characters or understand the subtle references. Also, Dhianeila is a good example of how to really develop, and lead with a female character who is both strong, but also feminine. Unfortunately as time goes by I can see this anime becoming a forgotten gem in 5 years time. |

| Great ending to one of the most memorable space opera. ED is so good...too bad, couldn't find Azurite ~true grace~ anywhere. |
| A beautiful ending for an amazing anime! Really great final episode, anime like this should exist more! I just loved the whole ride from start to finish where there was an amazing combination between story and character development! All in all a great anime I must say! |
 |
| Still laughing at the fact that if they repaired Planet Olone first, none of this shit would have happened. I'm still thinking that the Tribe of Gold was the human race before the human race. Same personalities, sentimental attachment to homeworld, but has priorities and etc. |

| I'll be honest, I've cried and teared up during other anime, and I came on the verge of tears more than a couple times during this show. This is exactly what I was looking for and I'm glad it was such a great show. Part of me wishes they had done a second season, but at the same time the way they ended it was perfect as well. |

Didnt cried tough, i think actually only clannad, anohana and guilty crown can get me some tears. But still very good anime. |

You've pretty much summarized my exact thoughts of the series. I came into Heroic Age with decently high expectations as it was recommended to be very similar to one of my favourite animes; Towards The Terra. It also had good reviews while another anime fan I know (who likes good stories and characters) said it was one of his favorite series. Yet overall this series left me slightly disappointment. It's not a bad show by any means but it didn't meet my expectations. The story itself was fine, but for me I found a lot of the characters to be rather bland. The series devoted too much time for the (repetitive) fight sequences so it never took a step back to develop any of the characters. We don't know much about them, therefore don't actually care about them. I wish the incompetent brothers stayed dead though as their 'death' was a highlight of the series. Still kept me entertained though. 7/10; good but not great. EDIT: After thinking about this anime more broadly and comparing it to others that I've watched, I'm revising my rating down to 6/10. |

Bondrewd did nothing wrong. |
| Not a fan of mecha, but this one is one of the few that I watched and liked. How I wish those two brothers are dead...why they have to bring those a-holes back. The ending is great imo...wish they have shown us how life in the other universe. Overall 8/10 |
 |
| felt like this series is a girl's dream come true - romance in the stars(or space), no family member dying, talking it out with enemies, and reunion with a loved one. refreshing take since all the mecha series I've seen are sooo hardcore about killing or 'harsh reality' as the only compromise to problems. lovely last episode as well! |
