About ID-0

Meet ID-0, a mecha and sci-fi anime by SANZIGEN (2017). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: I-Machines are the general term for robots that operate in extreme environments. While Alliance Academy student Maya Mikuri is in the middle of operating an I-Machine, she gets involved in an incident with pirates, and ends up serving as a crew member on an excavation company's spaceship.

As a mecha title, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. Rick Ayer (Masaya Matsukaze) and Maya Mikuri (Minami Tsuda) are two of the characters you will meet early.

This one is best suited to fans of giant robots and large-scale battles. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by SANZIGEN, so the studio's house style defines how ID-0 looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on mecha, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. With a 6.2/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Masaya Matsukaze voicing Rick Ayer gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2017, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
