Infinite RYVIUS (Japanese: 無限のリヴァイアス, Hepburn: Mugen no Rivaiasu ) is a 26 episode drama/sci-fi series produced by Sunrise.

The grapheme and mecha designs in RYVIUS were created by Hisashi Hirai, who later went on to act as the character designer for Gundam SEED.

The series is also noted for its music, a blend of western R&B/hip-hop music with J-pop vocals. This is axiomatic in the opening song, "dis–", performed by bilingual Japanese-American vocalist Mika Arisaka. Most of the vocal songs were composed by M.I.D. and the thematic background instrumentals by Katsuhisa Hattori.

The anime was originally licensed by Bandai Amusement in North America earlier it concluded up going out of print in 2012. Following the 2012 closure of Bandai Entertainment, Sunrise appear at Otakon 2013, that Sentai Filmworks has rescued Infinite Ryvius, along with a handful of other former BEI titles.[1]

A 2 volume manga adaptation was released meantime with the serial in 1999-2000, and was then published in English in 2004. A parody spin-off original internet animation (ONA) series, Infinite Ryvius: Illusion, was released in 2000.[2]

Plot [edit]

Ready in the year AD 2225, flesh has spread from Globe to inhabit nearly all the planets or nearby moons in colonies and settlements. Space travel has grown and improved to the point of existence commonplace. For the inhabitants of the solar system, an astronaut career isn't out of the question, and one of the schools gear up to train future infinite voyagers is the Liebe Delta, a space station positioned somewhere in World's orbit. This growth is despite the mysterious phenomenon known as the Geduld, a ocean of plasma that suddenly erupted from the lord's day along the Earth's orbital plane in Advertizing 2137. Stretching from the sunday to the edge of the solar system, this area of high temperatures and gravity pressures has never been explained.

Kouji Aiba is a sixteen-twelvemonth-old boy who packed his bags and left his home on Earth for the Liebe Delta and the training to obtain his Level 2 piloting license. He journeys to the space station accompanied past his childhood friend, Aoi Housen, whom Kouji discovers to his chagrin has enrolled in the Liebe Delta's flight bellboy plan. En route to the spaceport Aoi gives Kouji the additional unwelcome news that his younger brother, Yuki, is as well to attend the Liebe Delta and in fact the brothers will be in the same flight class together. The list of Aoi'due south unfortunate news to Kouji is topped past her quipping that the boys' mother Mrs. Aiba had asked Aoi to look later on the brothers while at school. Kouji'south unhappy moodiness does not improve.

In one case aboard the infinite station, the students and instruction staff on the Liebe Delta were similar any other school, normal and concerned with their own affairs and classes. They fifty-fifty had a vacation period, known as the Dive Break, when the infinite station ventured most the Geduld for organisation maintenance. Out of well-nigh thousand+ students, virtually 500 stayed for the pause. Unknown to all, the space station, in the middle of the routine dive considered then regular that it has been entrusted to the elite Zwei buck course, was sabotaged and the bulk of the staff gassed and rendered unconscious, free falling into the depths of the Geduld Bounding main, where the resulting gravity pressures would trounce the station and kill all aboard. The remaining adults, all instructors, sacrificed their lives in an act that they believed would save the majority of students on board. When their heroic deportment proved unsuccessful and the Liebe Delta hung on the verge of collapsing, a mysterious send named RYVIUS, hidden within the Liebe Delta activated itself and surfaced from the Geduld Ocean. There were a total of 515 personnel on board the Liebe Delta at the beginning of the dive, of whom a total of 486 were successfully evacuated, meaning that a total of 29 people were killed in the sabotaged dive. 8 were instructors, 12 were the gassed staff who were afterward executed by the 2 saboteurs, and 9 students. The average historic period of the Ryvius crew is 16, so the story, despite its space-age setting, is more of a coming-of-age tale than anything else.

Stranded in infinite, with humanity's governments forsaking them, and within the ship acrimony, agitation and fear setting in, Kouji tries his best to maintain a semblance of order and peace in a time of crisis. But with fighting his own brother Yuki, dealing with his feelings for the beautiful Uranian aristocrat Fina Southward. Shinozaki, trying to avoid Aoi, and seeing the strange bogeyman of a daughter in pink wandering the halls, will Kouji be able to assist until the Ryvius reaches safety, or will he lose all that'southward dear to him in the process?

Vaia ships [edit]

The Vaia ships are said to be crucial to mankind's survival despite the effect it has on those who are exposed to information technology for long plenty, which results in major mental breakdown, as seen with the Blue Impulse's captain after losing the battle with the Ryvius.

It was mentioned that at that place were six Vaia ships, which took several hundred thousand trained astronauts entering into the Geduld to capture, formulate, and secure vaias for the ships. This was made known for the purpose of protecting humanity from another Geduld phenomenon, as the gravitational warping effects of the vital guarders could hands cake the advancing Geduld phenomenon.

  • Black Ryvius (Referred to as the "Brattica" by those who seek to take it.)

The main setting of the remainder of the series after the destruction of the Liebe Delta, and the target of the Orbital Security Bureau, and so much and then that they've justified destroying Hyperion with the Blue Impulse's Vital Guarder to endeavor and destroy them. The Ryvius is one of two Vaia ships whose Sphixs have been manifested, only is also the only i with a humanized one, Neya. The other ship is basically stripped of any humanity but the want to kill Neya. Vital Guarder - Einvalt, A large humanoid like mecha deployed from the lift send housed in the front end of the Ryvius, has the power to control gravitational forces in much the same way every bit the others, but has a much stronger localized control of gravity waves it creates (especially from its hands.)

Blue Impulse The showtime Vaia send to be a technical casualty to the Ryvius, after using its vital guarder to destroy Hyperion. The Ryvius detached its barge cannon and with the vital guarder in hand, turned the tides of the battle in the Ryvius's favor. Impulse is no longer known later this battle, possibly decommissioned due to the loss of its vital guarder. Vital Guarder - Verticular Drill, A powerful vital guarder capable of plowing through large masses using a strong gravitational field projected around the main drill arm, which spins with tremendous force. Was used to destroy Hyperion, which established another of its attacks, by using any sized chunks surrounding it the Verticular Drill could capture these objects in its field and fire them.

Cherry Dicastia Piloted exclusively by aged women. The Dicastia boasts the greatest output of gravitational strength, using smaller pods wired together. Dicastia was the showtime ship to score casualties on the Ryvius past firing on it while trapped in the entrapment field. Vital Guarder - Eysfina, the pod chain arrangement used to generate an entrapping gravity field. Used as a means to detain their target in club to safely enter firing range.

Greyness Gespenst Conrad Vicuss's Vaia ship most akin to the Ryvius, besides possessing a comparable and somewhat humanoid vital guarder, but fuzed to a big fixture system at its arms and legs. It is only upon seeing Neya and recognizing her grade as that of his deceased daughter that he realizes what grave wrongs he has committed. The Gespenst is capable of forming blades from gravitational forces to cutting through the targets that it closes in on. It besides has the power to merge with existing 'vaia squids' to dilate its mass and gravity control and ability, much to Stein's dismay, every bit he cannot stand to see anything that defies scientific logic. Vital Guarder - Geist, a humanoid trunk fixed vital guarder with tremendous gravitational force power, estimated by Stein's numbers of beingness at least twice as powerful as the Ryvius. These observations were more or less proven when the Geist merged with a number of Vaia squids around information technology, significantly boosting its attack power. Geist connected to destroy parts of the Ryvius'south vital guarder, until it separated from the big brawl of mass information technology created around itself, and began a powerful supercharge of free energy. In one concluding ramming assail, the Geist was annihilated, along with the Einvalt, while everyone in the lift ship is safe.

After a maddeningly fierce battle, and the loss of his vital guarder, his final words after one time over again beingness confront to face with Neya, were: "Attention all hands. The Ryvius is piloted by children, I desire them rescued!" before killing himself with a gun, proof that he had understood the situation on lath the Ryvius during near of his pursuit of it. (He had before stated that the student's pleas for rescue must be a play a trick on). This marks the stop of the war between the Orbital Security Bureau and the crew of the Ryvius.

Themes and symbols [edit]

Infinite Ryvius is a complex serial with many underlying themes and symbolisms. Responsibility - The only adult characters aboard the Ryvius are written out of the story at an early stage and throughout the serial the characters are regularly forced to accept responsibleness for difficult decisions in the absence of developed guidance. Loss of innocence - The burden of responsibility and the many traditionally adult situations the children face bring about the premature loss of innocence. Politics - Throughout the series the political power structure aboard the ship shifts and changes and acts as a microcosm of existent-world politics.

Manga [edit]

A companion manga was released in Japan in 1999-2000. Created by Shinsuke Kurihashi, and released by MediaWorks Publishing, the manga details the voyage of the Ryvius from the graphic symbol viewpoints of Aoi Housen, and to a bottom extent, her roommates Kozue Izumi and Reiko Ichikawa. This is in dissimilarity to the anime, which had been seen through the eyes of the Aiba brothers, Ikumi Oze, and other generally male characters. As such, the manga does not follow the anime "to the letter", but provides episodes and plotlines previously unseen.

The English language-language rights to the Ryvius manga were acquired by ComicsOne, and the showtime volume of the English version, covering the anime episodes 1-13, was released in October 2004. The second and last volume, covering the rest of the series, was expected to be released in January 2005. After ComicsOne was taken over by DrMaster, Volume two of the Infinite Ryvius manga was delayed. It was finally released under the new DrMaster label in May 2005.
