| What the fuck did I just watch? |
     |
| Just finished rewatching. I'm going to up my score from an 8 to a 9. I might have given this a 10 if those kids weren't soo annoying earlier on. I would love to actually see Renton and Eureka's "honeymoon". |
| loved this episode. one of the best animes out there. i thought it was gonna suck because it had 50 episodes but its alright. 10/10. this was one of the best endings i have seen in a long time. it was sad but fullfilling. |
| I must say, the best anime I've watched in my whole life. I don't care about all the loopholes and shit, I care about Eureka and Renton actually being together in the end with the promise that Renton made. 10/10 sad that it's over.. man i loved this show. ah well, onto the movie! |
| It was good, not too bad. I was going to leave it at 8/10 but it might get bumped down to a 7/10 for the lack of consistency regarding the animation itself. Some scenes throughout the show were drawn and animated terribly. Another thing that affects my score is the fact that every other episode Renton, Eureka, the damn kids, Anemone, Dominic or somebody is crying. That got really annoying. Overall I thought it was great, I had wanted to see it in its entirety for a long time. |
 |
| This is definitely an acquired taste. I only watched it to the end because there was nothing else. 14 year old protagonist, which didn't sound promising, lived up to its unpromising state. |
 |
| there was a question about the ring in the amber. it wasnt charles' ring. the ring in the amber had the letter R&E in it. after seeing that, renton went curious (just like me) and looked at the ring at his pocket, which was the real charles' ring. and that ring had the letter R&C on it.so it means that the ring in the amber meant "renton and eureka" :) so we can say that they really did get married later on. and that amber thing was quite suspicious. O_o it had the ring and the footprints in it. and that amber was there to protect those memories. it felt like the sand and the ring under the amber were somehow memories from the past. just like looking at the future. i wonder what that meant. other than that, i just finished the show an hour ago, and im not satisfied with the ending either. im going to repeat another question which is already asked here, but noone answered it. what does the "seven" in the name of the show stand for? im thinking, searching the internet, but couldnt find any answer to convince myself. anyone knows? |

BigSimo said: the seven is the seven swell, and the seven colors of the rainbow. notice how basically everything had something to do with rainbows? haha hmm.. i got it. thank you for the explanation. btw, for a moment i thought you were turk like me and making a joke about the show. because the turkish fansubber group translated that "seven swell" in turkish as "the rainbow effect" in their videos. i looked up the wikipedia anime pages and then saw it was actually "seven swell". -_-'' now it makes sense. |
| haha nope not Turkish though the fansubbers translating it as rainbow effect is perfectly understandable. and no worries |
| a 10/10 for me well if i wasnt a sucker for Music i would have given this a 9/10 but yea, good characters, nice ending (thou it would be nice if they showed ever1s life) AMAZING SONG THUMBS UP FOR THAT, deep story, great Mythology, SUPERB ANIMATION and character designs, man Eureka Seven was a great ride ^.^ still hoping for an OVA or maybe a 5 min Epilogue PLS but i doubt it cuz this was like 4 years ago FCK well, im off to watch the Movie =D |
  |
| Good series, I didn't like the ending it was too cheesy for me; a heart in the moon :0. 7 out of 10. |
 |
| Hmm not the happy end I was hoping for but a happy end non the less. Which they could just all be a happy family and live whit Holland :) |
       |
| weak ending idk had good parts with renton getting eureka but some stuff in the ending was crap |
| Overall comments: Final episode was decent, but not stellar. However, the series as a whole was pretty awesome. So many heartwarming moments. So many awesome moments. The plot gets credit for keeping me guessing until almost the very end, and the show mostly understood the idea of dramatic pacing--which is better than can be said about a lot of other shows (I'm looking at you, Sky Girls, for your often complete lack of cliffhangers). However, keeping it from a score of 10 are things such as not enough development of the supporting cast, and a soundtrack that, while great, could have been even more awesome (I thought Kiddy Grade's soundtrack was better, for example). I would also have enjoyed seeing a few more hints at what the characters are up to now. Reading this thread was nice to help illuminate the possibility that R&Ewere on a honeymoon. Well, reading this thread was also useful for thinking about what other details they missed--such as why was all that area coated in amber? And I agree, they should have been through on the epilogue and shown more sides. We literally know nothing of what the rest of the characters where up to. You'd think they'd at least touch on how Holland is holding up after all the abuse his body and mind suffered at the end of the series and considering he's the most prominent main character after Renton and Eureka. Since they failed to follow through, and it had some cheesy scenes (love beam is as cheesy as it can come), I'm not particularly keen on the ending, but as a whole it was good that they managed to close the main issue at hand, which is something a lot of series seem to be failing at lately, even if it failed to cough up a satysfying epilogue. Agreed. Though the sign on the moon might just be something the characters imagined--the sparkly ring as well as the park's name is enough to make them think of Eureka and Renton. However, hearts beam is definitely cheesy. Renton and Eureka... even at the end of this, I can't stand them. At all. Whine whine whine, QQ baw. I wish they had focused on the supporting characters more, they were a hell of a lot more compelling than watching Renton and Eureka cry about nothing for fifty episodes. I agree that the supporting cast really needed more screen-time. However, for what it's worth, I teared up a lot during this whole series. a bit like evangelion, lol D: Actually, I'd say it's like the opposite of Evangelion--the boy hero actually does grow up, the emotionless girl gains emotions, the red-haired crazy girl is redeemed, and we actually get backstory revealed to us. Didn't expect Nirvash to be a female. O.o They hinted at that once. After the end I thought "give me some more minutes I want to see more of the characters" Me too. The ending wasn't the greatest thing...but the journey was darn well worth it. I watched that speech the Nirvash gave at the end about 'not all life will remain on the planet' several times, but I still can't come up with a conclusion as to what the Nirvash was trying to say. Does anyone have a theory as to what the Nirvash was saying? I think she meant that some people would have to go on living as thought-entities like Adroc and Diane. Also, Gonzy being a Coralian...did not expect that one. Well, he did set up his tea mat in way too little time than was sensible. Also, I think they should've focused a bit more on other characters like Anemone, but I'm glad that she ended up with Dominic. ^_^ Yeah, it was a music video of Dominic and Anemone that actually got me to watch this series in the first place. and the worst, too much animation recycled Really? I didn't notice any thing recycled. If you guys didn't like the development of Renton or Eureka, then this Anime would be very very boring. The one thing I don't like is how everyone keeps complaining about Renton; sure he's a bit of a pussy, but heck, he's a 14 year old. The abuse from the Gekko state (mainly Holland) and the rejection from Eureka (the woman he loves) caused Renton to run away and look even more like an over emotional brat. But let me ask you this; wouldn't you do the same if you were in the same situation and with the same mind set you had when you were 14. Heck, most normal 14 year old boys would run away (I myself would do the same back when I was 14). So in other words, it portrayed a 14-year-old boy somewhat realistically, and managed to do it without being a tragedy like Evangelion did. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Wow..Just Wow. I just finished this anime, and im definitely going to say that this is my favorite anime of all time. But.. 1st. The ending wasn't bad at all. I actually loved it, Renton did the similar thing to what Adrock did by doing what he could to save the earth and everyone on it. 2nd. Lol @ Nirvash finally talking and helping Renton save everyone. & 3rd. Im surprised, The old man on the Gekko State was actually a Coralian watching over them the whole time. Very Interesting. Well The reasons why this anime became my favorite of all time are: 1. The original soundtrack/Opening, Ending Theme songs are all amazing. 2. All of the characters kept me interested, because they were all very cool and blended well together. (Good/Bad Characters) 3.The whole plot/story kept me wanting more & more non-stop. 4. It had Romance, Adventure, and Mecha fights that made it just absolutely phenomenal. So this anime definitely deserves its credit, and I would recommend it to anyone. 10/10. |

| So after years of holding back on this anime and never giving it a chance I finally decided to pick it up a week or two ago. And having spent my entire night watching the last 12 episodes, and also watching the snow fall that's canceling all my classes, I have to say I regret ever saying no to this thing. Honestly have no idea what possessed me to put this off for so long. Completely mind blown. Anyways, guess i'll touch up on a few things: 1. I'll agree, renton and eureka combo got so annoying to a point where i had to skip a little ways. I can only take so much crying. But i will also admit that the character development was still very well executed. 2. I'm a sucker for those defined endings and would've loved to see an ending of renton and eureka walking home towards his grandpa or something. However the ending how it is was probably much more artistic and made for better storytelling. It left a little open endedness but come on, we all know how things turned out (think happy). 3. bones man, they do such great work. although kinda upset with star driver and gosick atm, but that makes for topics in other threads The Thurston brigade gets a 10 out of 10 in my book. |

| After nearly finishing E7 about 4 years ago and forgetting everything, I recently picked up this show again. The story was so grappling that I usually cannot control myself marathoning one season at a time, as well as watching the last 2 seasons within a course of 24 hours. This show was set to near perfection at the beginning, with many characters having to endure endless struggles for survival, freedom, or the safety of their loved ones. The story is somewhat well paced. And there are lots of lovey-dovey as well as bad-ass hero moments. ...Though I hate the fact that most of the episodes in this show reduce me to tears. I can't handle it anymore. Personally, I find the supernatural element arising since the start of season 3 a bit overwhelming. And what came with it is the total mind-fuck episodes where nothing seemed to make sense even after they explained it 20 times (well it's better to think too much than not thinking at all). And the final episode was almost too stereotypical but were nonetheless satisfying and removes a big load off my chest. Renton and Eureka shall live on forever as fireflies :P (but humans and coralians are fine too) |

| Well, Renton and Eureka left for the other universe, right? Supposedly Renton chose to become one of the coralians so he can be with Eureka and save the world. Then I guess, one year later, they returned with... wings and flashing foreheads? Whatever, it was a great anime. 8/10 |
werrstonMar 21, 2011 5:11 AM
| Let's see if I can keep this short. First, Anemone×Dominic > Eureka×Renton. And besides, Anemone <3 And as far as characters go, most characters of slightly important to major characters, Anemone and Gidget were definitely the best characters of them all. Renton, was annoying, as one would expect from a shounen protagonist. Eureka, was almost as annoying, as one would expect from-... wait, what? Oh and, that annoying haircut she had after she... um... I dunno, was partially absorbed into the scub coral, or whatever happened, god how I hated how that looked. Anyway, Anemone, had the best development in this series. And Dominic had some great development too, seeing as I disliked him at first. Gonzy, was also a fucking awesome character, in all ways. Even though the fact that he was a coralian was quite expected ever since... I dunno, when he was more or less everywhere, all the time. To put it shortly about the story composition and overall pacing, I didn't really think they'd be able to wrap it up in the last 10 episodes, but so they did. Episodes 1-20 were great, episodes 21-30 were awful, because emo-Renton is about as fun to watch as any other generic shounen protagonist's emotional period is. Not at all, that is. It's all the same, and it just doesn't get to me. Then we got to episodes 31-45 something, which were really great. And then there were the last 5 episodes which were... a bunch of "what the fuck am I watching?" Well, despite the fact that I mainly mentioned the negative aspects (hell, those are the ones that you'd remember, while the good things just kinda disappear out of memory after a while), I still found this to be a really good series. I enjoyed it, thus earning it a 8/10, mainly because while most of the show was about 8'ish, and the end was pretty good. Even though it seemed like Bones were on drugs during the latter part of the last episode. And that moon further hindered a 9. And the signalling lights. >_> Also, did I mention anything about butterfly-Eureka? I don't think I did, so... "Haha, she turned into a butterfly, ain't that cute?" ...*sigh* I gotta stop making these review'ish posts whenever I finish a non-airing show. >_> Actually, maybe I should start writing reviews? Just needs a little bit of adjustments and removal of spoilers and then it'd work. Probably. Maybe. I guess. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| After all I'm glad I stuck with this series! It was a bit long but I guess the way the story was put together it would have been bad marketing to cut it in the middle and make a season 2 second half. There's a number of things I wish had been different, like the personality of the children & some of the morals it tried to feed the viewer. I'm giving this a 7/10 (which by my rating system means I liked it enough & I'd recommend it). |
| Such junk... |
| I haven't seen an ending this good since FMA: Brotherhood. It's definitely up there with the best anime. This has definitely made my top 5 favorites! |
| This was one hell of a satisfying ending, but the open ending kind of bugged me. The title wish upon a star is pretty much a foreshadow of the episode's ending and that's what lead me to believe this series might have a sequel; I mean, grandpa and the kids both "prayed" that Renton and Eureka would come back and essentially that is one part of the sequel formula. However animes don't follow it, damn xD I liked it, but a sequel would be much appreciated but not needed for me to love this series :) It was pretty sweet and romantic; I liked it :3 |
| “Don’t ask for it; go out and win it on your own. Do that, and you will succeed.” |
| this was the first time i cry when watching an anime words cannot describe how i feel right now this will be the most memorable anime i'll ever watch Bravo BONES |
| I would've really loved to see more Dominic and Anemone earlier on. Renton and Eureka really got on my nerves with all their whining. I wasn't a fan of this ending. At all. |
 |
| finally finished this, started very late due to not liking the idea of mecha on skateboards but after completed Xam'd, decided to go for this as with any long series, there are highs and lows, overall i find it is good the ending is a bit open but i guess we all understand that Renton, Eureka and the ppl on Gekko and Izumo survived, and Earth is saved Holland is an interesting character, he even fear what if he survive in the end... but i think he will be a fine father in the end, Talho has been strong and decisive in the final episodes, something not expected from her character in the beginning Charles and Ray is the biggest surprise of the show, slightly ahead of Norb now thinking of watching the movie version too |
| the best romantic anime i've seen can anybody suggest some similar anime? like romance, strong plot, good animation, awesome characters, etc. the recommendation section for the anime suck btw |
   |
| I give the show an 8/10. Not to keen of the romance aspect (like how Renton and Eureka have to hold hands to use the full power of the Nirvash), really wish there was more episodes of Dominic and Anemone and a HELL lot less of those annoying kids of Eureka!! The ending was cheesy but it was alright i guess. Wish we knew what happened to the Gekko crew, Talho's baby and of course if Holland is still alive. The only part of the series i really enjoyed was with Charles and Ray. That was the highlight for me, and it knotted me up when they died, especially Ray since she misunderstood Eureka + her not being able to have kids. +Fun characters (minus the kids) +Exciting and fun music +Animation is really good for a 2005-06 show +The dub was okay, liked Renton and Eureka's voice, Holland really good. Everyone else was okay, though that just made the kids more annoying. -Lots of unanswered questions (see above) -Romance aspect completely distracted from what it looked like a mecha anime -Pacing was off -Needed way more Dominic/Anemone, way less of the bratty kids. Ugh and i watched the dub... |

| A bit of a vague ending, but that's just how many directors like it. I can live with that. Only thing that I don't get is how Dewey's back story fit in with all of this. Seems a bit irrelevant all things considered. Really enjoyed this series. One of the best love stories I've seen and its in a mecha anime. Great music and animation too. Having said that, I cannot give it a 10. The pacing is a bit awkward at some points and some of the side characters are way too annoying. I know that love and family are central themes to E7, but those kids just get too much screentime and get too distracting. And I also feel Ray and Charles could have been more involved throughout the series, instead of just getting a short arc. |

pikel-kun said: Okay, as I've seen this series multiple times and it still to this day remains one of my favorite animes... I guess it's time for my conjectures. 1) Eureka and Renton are safe and sound. And yes, everyone else of the Gekko crew is fine as well. 2) Regarding the heart on the moon, I don't think it's just a cheesy addition like most people. I see it as a sign for the whole world to see, every day, that Coralians and Humans can coexist peacefully, and with a sign that big to keep it in everyone's mind... no one will forget. 3) I have only watched the subbed versions, so I'm not sure if the dub shows what's written on the paper Axel is holding at the end, and if I'm not mistaken, it's a family registry. Also, it states that Renton is the father of those kids, and has Eureka's family name as "Thurston" so the Honeymoon idea (which I have accepted as well) holds water. 4) The statement by the Nirvash about taking half of the people with them was probably referring to those people with desperation disease who chose to stay with the Coralians of their own free will rather than choosing to go back to their bodies in the "third dimension." As they will stay in an eternal slumber that way, like the dormant coralians, the limit of questions won't be reached and all can live happily. 5) Finally, referring to the whole "Eureka and Renton transcended into a different being/beings" theory... That wouldn't work in my honest opinion. As it would ruin the whole reason for her creation, to prove that humans and Coralians can coexist, if he's no longer human, and she's no longer Coralian, then it changes their intentions. If anyone would care to agree or disagree with me, I'd like to hear some opinions :D Exactly my thoughts ^^. I didn't like the fact that they just showed the silhoutte of Eureka and Renton in the final scene. If they kissed it would have been way more satisfying. The audience is distanced from the main characters in this ending. Also, it might still be possible for Eureka and Renton to surpass both Coralian and Human, without it ruining the idea of both coexisting with each other. Because the only way for them to ever reach this new form would be to coexist in the first place. I heared that the movie is more of a prequel with the same characters, rather than a sequel or a more in-depth look at the ending, so I doubt it will be as good as the main series. I give this show a 9/10, because the final episodes seemed to have the exact same character development as the rest of the show, which basically negates all the previous character development. I also thought they could have shown more of what happened after the second Summer of Love. |

| I can't give this show higher than a 8/10. Good plot but God! CHEESY AS FUCK!! |
 |
| I loved this show even though there are a few plot holes and I didn't understand some points. I didn't like the unclear ending but oh well, it was a very fun watch. 9/10 |
 |
| ok ive watched eureka seven 2 times now and im still al little confused at parts. mostly at the end. what exactly happens to eureka and renton? are they both living on earth with everyone esle? and the part that confused me the most was that when renton said to eureka that if she gave up being a corrolian than renton would give up being human. can some one please try to explain this to me |
 |
| They should have given a bit more of a self explanative end, not with a kinda of mysterious scene with Eureka and Renton lost in the jungle.. I didn't really get what they were trying to do with that. Still loved this story, I wish we had a bit more of prologue. |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |

This is the proof that they live and that they came back. the reason that they are in the woods is kinda for the viewers to interpret... the honeymoon theory is strong... but in my opinion i think they just went away to spend some time alone together( because since they've meet they didn`t had a single time alone) and to see the world they created without the wars and the desperation. The rest of the ending...well..... i wanted to see what happened to the gekko state.... if they are still together or if they are disbanded.But i guess knowing that they are alive its good enough :D as for the whole giving up being a corelian/human that was just a way of speaking... because eureka said she`ll give up being a corelian to become the new control node so that the world wont be destroyed and renton won`t die, and rennton said he will give up being human so that he will be with her but in the end nirvash came through and she took all the burden so that they`ll live on earth happily ever after :D well i hope i explained some things for you..... some of them being my own conclusions :D ps: sorry for the bad spelling....fast writing :D |
| If you havent read the manga, you should, it has a different ending, infact it has results through out the whole thing, like Renton and Eureka gets catpure by Military, it still has same story line but... just read it. |
| Well, I think Eureka and Renton will directly go to Bellforest if they had any clue where it is because Renton had once said that he wanted to go back to Bellforest and introduce his hometown to Eureka, so my conclusion is both of them are lost for one year or so Well, for the idea "honeymoon", it is identiquewith sex and stuff. Will it be just too hard for Eureka and Renton which is 16 years old and ?? years old to have another kids (even for a lovers) since they even haven't take care of those 3 after 1 year Personally, i still need more of the details about the ending. well I don't know what the story writters thinking though, but to make this anime to be an open ended one, it's just someway didn't satisfy me. I want to see the continuation (I know it's impossible because even the movie has nothing to do with the tv series which means they have no idea on how to make a movie based on that. Besides Nirvash is broken to pieces in the last ep right? So all that's left is just a normal live between all of the couples in E7 which i think it'll be a boring series), well then what I want is just a remake or OVA for the last part like their life, and oh yeah i also wanted to know about how the public reaction due to the cover of last ray=out and I believe that Gekko state already published another ray=out about Renton and Eureka. (will it be still possible for an untouched 6 years old anime) Overall, I will give a 10/10. Even though I got bored in the ep 30 till 40 because of the repetition of the same lines between Renton and Eureka, well who cares, I really like this series though. And too bad for me I watched this one 6 years after the airing Let's get to the movie to see another paralel story |
