Reideen English Sub & Dub

About Reideen

If you are hunting for a new action series, Reideen deserves a look (2007). The setup goes like this. At its core: Saiga is a normal high school learner 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 archeologist and researcher who had gone missing while exploring a site many years before.

Next up: 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 peculiar robotic lifeform falls from the sky and begins to cause destruction, putting Saiga in danger and causing an unexplained bracelet from his father's research to activate and merge him with an age-old. It is now up to Saiga and guardian Reideen to struggle against this unknown alien threat from the sky.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Production I.G, which means the visual identity of Reideen follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.6/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. It aired in 2007, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
