| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A solid start to this much praised anime. Really good animation, decent music so far. I'm getting a Final Fantasy vibe from the world it's set in. This, I like. I also like the snow-boarding type lifestyle portrayed in the rebel-type group Gekkostate, and Renton's attire and bedroom. |

| I'm up to episode 6 and not overly impressed, but am waiting patiently for it to kick my arse. Got the 1st ED single though, tis nice. |

| Once you get to Episode 10, things get better and better. Than worse for a short time, well, probably because in some of the scenes I felt really bad for Renton, even though he is such an idiot. Things are plain awesome once you reach Episodes 24-27. |
| After reading the news about the movie, I decided to start this too. I liked the episode, looking forward to episode 2 I'll watch sometime later today. |

| Finally got around to starting this, and I've had the show for over a year now. Glad I did, and the movie not being a remake of the series it's perfect timing too. Great first episode. I'm probably not the first to say so but I can totally understand the Tengen comparisons even at this early stage. Could be the start of something very special then... |

roysen said: I'm currently at episode 14 and enjoyed so far every single piece of the anime. Makes me really wonder why there are people who were bored with the first couple of episodes. oO Thats funny because I put the anime on hold at episode 14. The only reason I havent dropped it is because its got awards and praise and stuff, but more importantly I will feel better bashing it in public if I've seen it all than if I've only seen less than half. :D Eureka 7 seems to be by far better than Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, if you ask me that is. Tengen is a million times better in my opinion, because it kicks the mecha genre up the ass and woke it up. Eureka Seven has done its best to put me to sleep. Infact, I would rather watch Shinji from Eva than Renton anyday of the week, and thats saying something! (oO) Ah well, I'll finish it some day and whether it gets better or not before the end is moot, because an anime that cant make any kind of impact on me after 14 episodes has already failed. |

| Eureka Seven's problems are less to do with its story and more to do with its execution. Its just not entertaining or creative enough to make any kind of substantial impact on the genre, after 14 episodes anyway. Renton's Godawful voice over keeps repeating the same damn thing over and over again, and is never revealing, always stating the obvious. Its audial filler. I dont want to hear "But it gets good after episode 36!!" type arguments, because thats just insulting. As you can see from my first post, I went in with a positive attitude but as you can see now I've become a bit soured on the anime 14 episodes in. TTGL's entire point is the people-screaming-like-maniacs-and-saving-the-universe deal. Its a love letter to the mecha genre, not exactly a profound analysis of the human condition. But it succeeds in what it sets out to do. It wears its heart on its sleeve and isnt trying to be anything other than an enjoyable carefree tale. Eureka Seven's pretentions of being something important, alluding to wars and such, is falling flat for me. Maybe if Renton, his stupid voice over, and other young characters didnt exist, it would gain something, but so far its just a bit too generic for my liking. I suppose we've gone way off topic though, and should keep to episode 1 discussion. |

| I've seen a few mecha shows and am currently watching Eureka seveN. I'm enjoying it a lot, it's much more solid than other shows I know. The music is great, too. |

| Good start, first episode definitely got me interested. |
 |
| First episode left a good impression on me so I'll probably marathon this. Something I do rarely with series. |
 |
| It wa a good start, but i've had better. Kid with famous, yet missing, father and eternal love for sibling, who has a dream and hates the world. How original. The animation is awesome though. The fight in the clouds reminded me of Last Exile. |
| I shouldn't have returned to the mecha genre with TTGL, because it appears to have spoiled me. I'm enjoying Eureka, however, and the decent first episode bodes well although I hope they don't run the surfing thing into the ground; and I hope the main character grows up fast. |
 |
| I thought it was a pretty decent first episode, it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. |
| it was tight.. |
| This was better than I thought it was going to be, but to be fair my expectations were set pretty low since it's a BONES produced anime. We shall see if this is finally the show they can impress me with in more ways than only having good animation. |
| The animation quality is superb and the light trail from the flying mechas is a really cool effect. Looking forward to the series |
     |
| I heard the beginning was boring, but so far this is far from boring. |
     |
| Yep, the first episode is what got me hooked. On episode 23 now. |
| I gave this anime a go because of all the hype... so far I'm not that impressed. Don't get me wrong it's ok, I'll probably watch the whole thing. |
| It's not bad from 1st episode, also opening theme is great (like for me :P). |
| I hope next episodes will be more interesting. |
| Impressive start as for me. Really liked it. Animation is nice, music even better and the story so far is decent. |
| I decided to re-watch this since I can not even remember what the main storyline was...I remember I really liked this though. I'm kinda surprised about some of the comments on here...I think this first episode is a good start, I don't see anything wrong with it. |
| Eureka 7! Yay! :D lol the first episode was good, and I know the storyline gets better from here. but like the entire episode, I really wanted to see Renton's sister's face. because they kept blocking it. -.- |
     |
| Didn't like it at all frankly, the main character is of the kind I hate the most, and mecha surfers don't sit well with me. Gonna stick with it though, I was told that it gets better with time. |
| Very nice, the first episode left a very good first impression. |
| The start was really well done.. lyk us all hating our normal lives the guy was saying how he hates his.. (since its an anime) his life changes to an abnormal one!.. |
| Let's see how this goes. |
 |
| This looks good, after dropping the manga a few years ago this was just meant to be watch animated. |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
| Not a bad start. It has me interested to say the least with the questions it has me asking. I will continue it in a bit, or sometime tomorrow. |
| This opened well and the MC seems a little more together than many of the wimps in the last couple of seasons. Since they've just started E7AO as a sequel I thought I should marathon this. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Really enjoyable first episode. The surfing with mechas thing is really cool. I like the protagonist I really know how he feels and we both share the same thoughts. It's almost like the reaction I get from the scene, he gives the same reaction. Definitely gotta check out the next episode |
 |
| Ok Renton we know your 14 years old and that your life and town sucks you didn't have to repeat it 15 times in a row. Dx |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Liking it so far. |
 |
| What... what was he thinking at the end? LOL |
 |
| Finally got the chance to watch Eureka. Well, I have to say it's obvious why it has a good score. The plot looks very interesting and the action is pretty decent. |
 |
| Finally Decided to start this series, and so far i must say im impressed, I was engaged the entire time, as well as curious about this "sucky" town and lifestyle, Very excited for the future with this series. |
| After about a year of having this on my backlog finally decided to watch. First episode was pretty decent/good,I guess. Renton seem quite unlikable/bratty so far,hopefully he'll change within 50 episodes. The ending seemed like a stupid move his part tbh.I mean what did he expect to happen when he jumped off the cliff? This be the first 50 episode anime I've ever seen is quite nervewracking,hopefully it won't disappoint and I won't regret watching this. Also wonder how this will compared to Captain Earth seeing as how there seem to be quite abit of similarities between the two. |
