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 Originally I did not like this show. After re-reviewing episode one, i have changed my opinion somewhat...I do like how the mecha is drawn, still not sure about the people, but they are growing on me...at least they have noses...I am starting to like/understand the story a bit and am actually anxiously awaiting episode 2...

Heroic Age (the 3rd episode is out) A slow but interesting first episode. And it only gets better. Just be certain to watch the opening scene of each episode (perhaps twice, just incase you missed something). This a high-tech mecha series with great animation that is certain to placate any withdrawal symptoms now that Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch has finished up. And if you are a Gundam fan, then you should probably check this new series out. In episode 2 - The princess mentions the 12 labors (or terms) set forth by the Gold Tribe under which AGE/Nodoss is to assist the Iron Tribe (or humanity). The conditions of the contract are as follows: 1: Serve the owner of the contract as king 2: Serve the king and never try to be king 3: Get back the Earth, the home planet of Humanity, called the Iron Race 4: Fight and defeat the remaining survivors of the Heroic Race 5: Conquer the home planet of the Bronze Race 6: Conquer the home planet of the Silver Race 7: Give Humanity the power to see the future as the Golden Race could 8: Give Humanity the ability to create stars and planets as the Golden Race could 9: Make Humanity the supreme rulers of the universe 10: Until the conditions of the contract are met, to protect the owner of the contract 11: Until the conditions of the contract are met, to not run or die 12: When all the 11 conditions are met, the contractor’s desire will be met as long as it doesn’t go against the 10th condition With so many fun scenes to choose from, I found myself hard pressed to select a few snaps to share.
