I have more anime DVD tiles that I would care to admit.
Obviously I like them all, or else I wouldn't have spend my lunch-money on them, but some just live on with me more than others....like Last Exile, or TenchiMuyo, the Onegai series (Teacher, Twins) , or Oh My Goddess!
They touch a nerve in me, the characters capture my heart and imagination, the ladies are pretty....you know....
I really wasn't expecting to get very excited when Eureka Seven burst onto the anime scene here in the States. It had two very big things going against it for me: Mecha and sky-surfing Mecha. WTF???
However, now that I am about 29ish episodes into the story (about 1/2-way done) I can't get enough. (I also have a Eureka Seven t-shirt, manga, and three DVD's so far). I'm hooked.
So just how did this edgy anime title knock me off my feet? Let's see....
Seven Reasons to like Eureka Seven
Where to watch Eureka Seven
If your interested--check it out. It runs on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Friday Fix or Saturday late-nights on Adult Swim. Set your TiVo or VCR. Go get a DVD. Or, if you just really want to dip your feet into the Eureka Seven waters...go to YouTube and do a search for Eureka Seven (while you still can find them there). Like I said, my favorite one that captures just about everything the series is about is Eureka Seven Episode 26. You could do a YouTube search on that as well.
I'm still amazed (not really) how much anime (of all titles) is still available there.

Looks like I'm going to have to save more lunch-money for all those E7 DVD's still to come down the pipes!

Well I get your POV. And for me Eureka 7 is a very good anime. The story is more about the relationship of the main characters, Renton and Eureka, it doesn't concentrate on the mech or other such nonsense.But what I am surprised is, about the level of their relationship, it is quite advanced for the age of their characters. The series though picks up at around ep 25 or more and is actually quite dull at the first few ep's which would turn off most people.Just hope though that they'd make a movie.Also about the mystery part, all ye questions are going to be answered only near the end, around ep 40+. This is one of the downfalls of Eureka 7, they don't give enough details about everything, on some ideas such as Seven Swell Phenomenon, Second Summer of Love are never actually explained. They just give enough details on some things such as where Anemone, Dominic, Holland, Talho, etc came from, but they did it in quite a rush.
Thanks for stopping by!I never really considered Renton/Eureka's relationship in view of their age, but you make a very good point.He is supposed to be, what?, 14 and she, 15?I guess I've been watching anime for so long now, I just make a mental note of the stated age, and keep on watching.I wonder how much of that age/maturity thing is caught up in the cultural translation between Japan and America.I watched a Japanese live action movie called "Gomen" and it was VERY frank for the young characters...coming of age themes. No way a film like that would fly here in the States.I guess in the case of E7, I place them in context of the storyline...wars and conflicts tend to make even kids grow up too fast.I read in an issue of Newtype magazine that the E7 creative team worked so hard to create a rich and detailed back-story of information before they actually wrote the scripts that they have tons of material that didn't make it into the anime. Maybe that is why some of the details you pointed out don't get fully explained. They got lost in richness.I'd love to know more of all these details, but I'm satisfied (at this point) with the growth of the characters.I'd never considered they might make a movie, but that would be awesome. Considering the popularity, I could see it happening!
I'm about fifteen episodes from the finale, and I must say this is the best anime I've watched since Fullmetal Alchemist. Touching, exciting, emotinally satisfying.. this is everything an anime should be.
This anime is the best anime on earth. I just want to say,claus, I am not bs-ing you, but BANDAI has recently released info that CONFIRMS that they are continuing the project for 2 MORE YEARS! Now, whether its a movie, a second series, or an OVA is unconfirmed, but the point is that they ARE continuing!!!
