Recently, I suddenly thought, “I’ll try watching some anime from the Heisei era!” and started looking through various anime, but there are
so many Heisei anime that are considered godly, masterpieces, and great masterpieces that I’m at a loss as to what to choose…
Nowadays, there are many opportunities to watch old anime through streaming services. When there is so much to watch, it can be hard to decide what to watch, and you end up watching your favorite anime over and over again, or settling on a similar genre. By the way, I’m a woman in my 30s, and I love magical girl, mystery, and time leap anime.
So I decided to hold a “Special Month where I will ask my husband to recommend anime on topics that I have not had much exposure to and watch them!”
My husband is a little older than me and watches a wide variety of anime, so I decided to ask him for recommendations for anime I haven’t seen yet.
The answer is “Infinite Ryvius.”
…This is the first time I’ve heard this title. When I asked him why he recommended this work, he said this.
“This work is a microcosm of the world.”
The response was very serious. It seems that it is not a comedy or a heartwarming movie. Some of my husband’s friends know about this movie, but they all say, “It’s a masterpiece, but I never want to see it again” (laughs). I’m starting to get worried…
That’s how my encounter with Infinite Ryvius began.
Infinite Ryvius is a TV anime that was broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 6, 1999 to March 29, 2000. It has 26 episodes in total and was produced by Sunrise. The catchphrase was “We don’t need salvation.”
In the year 2225, the solar system was half submerged in the Gedult Sea, a swirling plasma and gravity storm, due to the Gedult Phenomenon, an abnormal phenomenon caused by a solar flare. One day, the artificial satellite Liebe Delta, used for training space pilots, lost control and sank into the Gedult Sea, crushing it. 487 boys and girls who were training on Liebe Delta boarded the mysterious giant spaceship Ryvius, hidden in Liebe Delta, and lived a survival life without adults, waiting for rescue. However, contrary to their hopes of rescue, the Ryvius was attacked everywhere they went, and they were forced to fight to survive…
While introducing it, I also asked my husband about his recommended points.
・Even though it’s a robot anime, there aren’t many robots in it.
・It shows the difficulties of communal living.
・No one thinks the same way.
・No one helps you.
・Various thoughts and perspectives are expressed.
・The main character is ordinary.
All the recommended points are dark and meaningful… At this point, I can somewhat understand what it means to say, “It’s a masterpiece, but it’s one I never want to see again.”
