| The question is should I watch this? After reading most of the reviews it seems like a horrible sequel. I am a huge huge fan of the first anime and it is also my #1 favourite. Everything is so good about the first anime. The characters, the world, the mystery, the soundtracks and all other things. So I get this feeling I should not watch this one. Is there anyone else who love the first one who have not seen the sequel yet? |

| Skip the internet drama over anime. That's what you should skip. Watch it, it's confusing, but it's worth it. Also, contrary to popular opinion, I think that any sequel > no sequel. |

| Yeah I was thinking any sequel better than nothing but after all it's my most favourite anime so I don't want to be disappointed but I may watch few episodes to see how it is. |
|
| I gave Eureka Seven a 10. I gave Eureka Seven Ao a 6. Honestly, the only thing that saved E7A for me was: one, the fact that it is part of the E7 franchise and two the OST. |
| Skip it. It doesn't know what kind of series it wants to be and destroys the original's ending while at it by going against what it stood for. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| i say you should watch it anyway, despite the bad reviews from some of us. |
| Then again, reading forum drama over an anime doesn't really help you enjoy it once you watch it. |

| If you're a fan to the original series, then just pretend that this sequel never exist.. |
| Thanks for the response. I have decided to watch it when I have the time, I think. Maybe I should first re-watch the prequel too. :) |

Do not listen to this person, this is delusional thinking and it should be stomped out. That's like saying, "I've had a very satisfying dinner and I'm full beyond belief....but there's always room for desert!", just no. Odds are you'll end up regurgitating everything out because you over stuffed yourself. Which is exactly the type of effect this show resonates; the kind that you wish you could take back that first bite of desert. I mean even if you'd consider this as a stand alone it's still not watching since there are plenty of other decent series that are floating around. Honestly, those last two episodes just throw every good time you had with previous episode out the window to the point where you just go, "F&@K THIS S^!T". |

| It's up to you I didn't care for but that doesn't mean you'll like it. |

| The old cast isn't in this even though its a direct sequel NOT EVEN AS SUPPORTING CHARACTERS = fail. So nope I'm not watching it. xD I just hope that Funimation rescues the first series so I don't have to buy Bandai's overpriced OOP sets. |

dark_vivec said: It had a terrible conclustion that wasn't satisfying at all. The plot is all over the place and you'll constantly be waiting for things to connect only to be disappointed. Nevertheless, I won't deny that up until I saw the last two episodes, I was enjoying it somewhat. It has great visuals and music. The GenBleu characters were enjoyable. But the plot is a giant clusterfuck once you get about 6-7 episodes in and a certain character shows up. Its kind of hard to explain in a sense. Its not like other bad anime where you just end up dropping it because you're bored. This anime was able to keep me interested during most of its course. I never considered dropping it. But the reason I call it "bad" is because I actually FELT bad after finishing this show. "Wasted potential" is the most accurate descriptor in this case. Because of the fact that I was entertained while watching this show, I won't advise against watching it. But it was still a bad show, and you shouldn't expect anything out of the plot. Just watch it for the pretty visuals, likable characters (sans 2) and amazing music. This is an incredibly accurate description of this anime. And "wasted potential" is a great way to describe it as well. Everything about this anime is sort of unfinished. It's like they had a bunch of good ideas, couldn't decide on just one, so they threw them all together to make it confusing and annoying alot of the time. Character development was okay for some characters and then bad for others. Overall it was just a big disappointment in my opinion. |

| Yes you should watch it . People say things because others are saying it's bad so they come to a conclusion that it's bad as well. I recommend watching it and judging it for yourself. Most of the people that didn't like it are people that find romance necessary in order for an anime to be good but tbh romance is in every anime I personally think it gets old. People didn't like this because it wasn't as long as it's predecessor with 50 episodes people were able to see the cast growth as a whole, that what I think if this was given the same most people would like it and some people wanted romance me not being a fan of romance it was a nice change from the regular cliche lines from last series. I love you....i'll protect you...we'll be together forever that stuff and lets not forget the moon heart ...so this was a nice change. Also |

Also Ehhh, I'm kinda leaning more to the fact that people say it's bad because it really isn't that good -__- I personally am a fan of romance stories but that's not what disappointed me here. I am fine with there not being any/very little romance. But about the character growth, that is very true. Many characters were not developed enough and made the series seem lacking. But I haven't really heard of people putting this down for the Renton/Eureka disappearing thing. That one is news to me |

Also some Steins;Gate spoilers so if you haven't read/seen that you should probably not read this. Sorry if my post is a bit incoherent, I'm not too good at properly conveying my train of thought. Insert subtle joke about Ao's writers here. Well you kind of backed up on what I said early which was cast growth also romance is usually when romance is not present most people feel the anime is missing a huge plot hole or something which is not the case, because most anime tend to introduce romance in virtually every story the new take on Eureka where there is no apparent romance compared to its romance heavy predecessor is what I personally think gives people a bad taste in their mouth. |

I actually liked the series quite a bit and i spent 1 day watching 18 episodes, then finish it next day. I was quite hook to find out what happen to Renton and eureka after event of first series and overall was hooked. Then episode 23 and 24 happened and i was like "No, this series never happened" and "The End" which leave me in a wtf state. Now for spoiler part Longer =/= better, in fact i turn away from mainstream series like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail BECAUSE it is so long. A good series have just enough to tell everything and keep everything interesting. Usually around 26 episodes is enough to cover everything that need to be told. Personally, if it had been a 50 ep series, it MIGHT have gone better since they can go further into story and devevelopment. HOWEVER it is "NOT" 50 episodes and that fact will not change and this is the series we got. People is judging based on fact that is right now, not IF IT HAD BEEN 50 EPISODES. |

Yggdrasil said: You didn't understand the ending; if you care enough, ask in the 23/24 thread, and we can discuss it. There's holes in AO's story, but not as many as people think. |

I love you....i'll protect you...we'll be together forever that stuff and lets not forget the moon heart ...so this was a nice change. Also Actually, I'm going to disagree with you. I consider myself a romance anime fan. When I walked into Eureka Seven AO, I wasn't EXPECTING romance. Yes, I did watch the original Eureka Seven and yes, I did love it's romance elements. If AO had romance in it, great...as long as it fits and isn't forcing a relationship that isn't there. If it doesn't have romance, no big deal...just as long as the story and characters are good. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. The story is convoluted as all hell and it doesn't do a very good job of developing characters. Well, I might be one of the few that actually did like the dynamic between Ao and his teammates Fleur and Elena. I'm not even going to get into the "well, it only had 25 episodes to develop it's characters when E7 had 50" debate. There are 12 episode animes that can do a better job of developing characters than the 25 E7:AO had. To tell you the truth, I found this show to be fairly entertaining...for a while. However, the final act of the series was extremely underwhelming and if nothing else, it seemed like most of the characters' actions conflicted with their personalities. It seriously felt like Bones rushed this one and didn't think it all the way through. Like I said, I was completely fine with there being no romance in this series. I remember as I watched this series, I was one of the few E7 fans that WASN'T complaining about a lack of romance. However, the story overall just wasn't very good, it didn't do a good enough job of hashing out the supporting characters outside of Fleur and Elena, and the ending was disappointing for a E7 series. I saw some people say some sequel is better than no sequel. I'll disagree...I really wish I didn't watch this... |
| I voted yes by accident I meant no. NO, NO, NO times infinity DO NOT WATCH THIS. Even as a stand alone series it is just plain bad it copies off popular series. The first half is Evangelion, Diebuster and Infinite Stratos put together, the second half is Diebuster and Steins; Gate and remove names of characters, groups and the events of most episodes 4 and after are similar to RahXephon especially when the when SPOILER Christophe and the commander of Terra die. And the ending of the show is just plain horrible. Renton and Eureka don't get a happy ending any kids they have will die do to trapar being deadly to Hybrids. End SPOILER |

| Ruin everything the original Eureka 7 tied in at the end of it's series, completely destroy the atmosphere and the uniqueness that previous E7s established such as the lack of Ref boarding, introduce horrible characters like The Trusu!, bad copycats such as Generation Blu, introduce pointless characters with no development and zero plot importance, pretty much turn LFOs into plain old robots as well as making an unoriginal enemy up like Secrets, add katana language in as much as fricking possible to seem cool and edgy?, jumble up the history without explanation to confuse old E7 fans, and in general have a horrid plot line. Plus while I couldn't take it to the last episodes, made it 10/24 before getting bored, I've heard the ending sucks. All that was just a summarization of why AO sucks. In no way would you be considered a bad fan of previous E7s if you skipped this. In fact I'm a fan and I didn't even finish AO. Even disregarding past E7s this anime is a mess. |
| This is an awful show and if you're a fan of the original you will not like this. I heard this before I watched AO. You kinda have to just find out how bad this is for yourself. |
