This show is building a quite believable yet compelling relationship between Naru and Ao.

I also really like Ao as a protagonist. He is neither wimpy nor too hot-headed.

This is what I wanted from the first episode, this feeling that the original gave me in the first two episodes, action, characters and awesome soundtrack, I'm sold.

But I still don't know what the hell is going on and I hate that about AO.

I always wondered this.

What happened to Thurston? The legend of the First and Second Summer of love, I hope they reference that in the future.

And if so, I wonder if `Fukai Ao becomes Ao Thurston at the end.

What confuses me is that, they said the the Mark I was out of battle since a year ago and then said ten years ago... subtitle mistake or am i just reading wrong?

Good episode, I have a feeling Naru is older than Ao i need to confirm that... not like its anything bad.

And its nice to see that Ao doesn't have Renton's personality. Furthermore, who else can Ao's mother be at this point? Eureka obviously. I don't need to explains.

But then again, I don't really find Ao's voice to be as powerful as Rentons.

Opening was kl, especially the end scene where they try to make it look like Eureka Seven, especially Mark I in Nirvash's stance.

Oh right, the soundrack at this point so far is really disappointing D:

I'm pretty sure that's an 08th MS Team reference - the first anime was full of Gundam shoutouts and homages, after all. And yes, it was awesome.

This is what I'm subscribing to; there were a lot of hints at the end of the first series and even *cough* the movie *cough* that pointed to inter-dimensional travel.

I'm personally loving the OST; the song starting when they shot the FP anchors onto the Jap ship, the one when he starts up the Mark I and the one after he gains control before crashing in the Scub Coral. Gonna be a great OST.

Can't wait for more episodes, so far it's very good.

Yeah I knew this anime would be 24 episodes, kind of had a feeling of that, it's Eureka Seven we are taking about.

That's not really normal to someone having blue hair, so the hair was normal until he begin to pilot it " welcome back Eureka " .
Well, humans is always afraid of someone have big power.

well, if i remember well, in the end of the first season, Eureka and Renton's aim was to, as a couple make people accept the cohabitation between humans and coralians. But nothing says it was a success. would it be surprising if a part of humanity still hated the scab coral and the coralians after their world nearly came to an endbecause of them? if so that could explain why people of Okinawa seem to hate anybody looking like a coralian.
that would explain why Eureka was tainting her hair in the flashback

I never thought I'd say this one week ago but AO is as good as Eureka seveN for now, probably even better as far as the first five episodes of the first series are concerned. This episode was incredibly well directed, the new characters are fantastic and the atmosphere is reminiscent of the one in E7 despite the setting being different. And that comes from someone that rated the first series 10/10, 2nd best anime of 2005 and best mecha anime of the past decade ;) Just... wow.

The second episode in Eureka 7 AO is just motivating me even more to marathon the original. From the comments it doesn't look like it will clear up confusion on the connection between the two, but I'm already glad to be spoiled regarding the ending of the original. Great franchise for Bones--I hope they handle it well! (and I want Naru to come up behind me and give me a big hug too--although that would probably get me in trouble for all sorts of reasons...)
Please don't feed the trolls!

Speculation

/m/ said:
They've been hinting it way since the beginning of episode 1. If you look at the Scubs, they have what look like LFO parts and those rods that they used to stop the terraforming Scubs in them.


/m/ said:
Dimensional shift? Yes.

Timeline shift? Not implied at the time, but it works for AO.

Interesting tidbit: the coralian reef Ao fought on in ep 2 seemed to be helping him out by spitting out extra trappar. It knows what's up.

Conjecture: a "scub burst" is a scub fleeing over to this universe, which has been like a scub safehouse. When the monsters follow them it's literally that: the monster managed to follow the scub before the scub closed its warp gate.

Generation Blue has somehow gotten a dump of near E7-tier tech that they've partially reverse-engineered, and their job for now is to eliminate the monsters and protect the scubs until some better option is on the table.

Mystery: why are scubs fleeing to this universe? What happened on E7's earth post-series? Who are "the secret" and why are they attacking? How strict is the time delta between the worlds? Is it always 10k years difference? How did something happen in 1940?


/m/ said:
Interesting that you mention that. The black and pink G-monster design reminded me of the antispiral human extermination system from Gurren Lagann and it occurred to me that perhaps it's some sort of automated anti-scub coral system. It doesn't appear to be a mech, or have a pilot and it's not very bright.

But it seems to mainly attack humans and human structures, it was only firing on the scub coral because AO was in front of it.

Who the fuck knows. I like your interpretation better than mine at least.


/m/ said:
I just realized there's a perfectly good reason for scubs to want to spread out: we all know that there's too many of them on E7-Earth, which is why they were mostly dormant. The command clusters job was to keep them asleep until it was there turn to be awake for a bit.

Pretty natural to have said "fuck this, let's spread out across the multiverse, that way we can all actually be awake"...only to run into a new enemy, and now the shit's hit the fan.

Did you see how much more "active" those scubs were than any we saw in E7? BONES is careful about stuff like that.

These "monsters" do seem automated and not that bright. It seems like their priorities are direct threats (IFOs) #1, scubs #2, immediate surroundings #3, but they're too lazy or lack sensor gear to let them detect scubs that aren't right under their nose.


/m/ said:
Okay lets make this easy, whenever we don't understand something in this show: we blame Dewey.

Hell, I wouldn't put it past him to make a Coralian extermination system in case his last plan didn't work.

Pretty interesting Ao maybe kinda of wimpy but i like how he doesn't back down and grows a pair in the moment :P,only thing i'm wondering since we know Eureka is his son when the Doc said when he saw Nirvash * have you returned..* does that mean she could still be alive? because i guess hasn't really been confirmed if Eureka was dead or not.

I love how Ao is a lot like Renton; somewhat wimpy, but confident when it matters.

This show feels a lot like the original's first two episodes so far, just in a somewhat more serious tone.

I think I found some sight in this ep
first, they said that this scub burst is the biggest one after "10 years ago"
does that seems weird to you guys? It's not referring to 2nd summer of love that happened because of Renton and Eureka.. From my calculation, it should be happened "14 years ago" (you see, Renton and Eureka was disappeared for 1 year and Ao is 13 now)
so something had happened when Ao was 3 and that's why Renton and Eureka disappeared..
Also, I'm disappointed they didn't even show 1 of the old characters in the op ( exept nirvash spec 3, that's all)..
Hope it's only for blurring the story so it's not easy to predict it..

Awww yeah, that was awesome overall. Really got some chills from the music + mecha action, it's such a great feeling. I think this was even better than the first episode.

Though it left me wondering, will we see the trio founding the Mark 1 in the cave since the "head" of the trio said "why don't we go to the cave for old time's sake" or so...? The episode just kinda let that out, so I guess it'll show in the next one. Started to like Ao's character, too "It's not lost! Pick it up" dat attitude, nice one.

Can't wait for the next episode!
