It`s another one history about "ordinary Japanese schoolboy" who became strong with some "artefact" like Light with Death Note or Luffy with Devil Fruit? ^^`

I thought they could have made this eps easier to follow, I didn't find it very engaging, unfortunately

I'm giving this series the benefit of the doubt. From what I've heard everything's gonna be explained. Just give it time.

Wow, this is getting good.
I really want to count how many times they're going to say "Cutback Drop-Turn".
Good Episode though.

Yeah, that's probably going on the Eureka Seven Drinking Game.

I noticed how this episode is a bit similar to Evangelion--in the second episode, 14-year-old boy protagonist who expects it all to be over gets super-powerful attack via mecha, in a scene that is told in hindsight.

And damn, that Seven Swell thing sure is freakin' pretty. Even the pattern it leaves behind.

Even though I'm dreading the consequences, I kinda want the show to elaborate on the grandpa's comment about the Seven Swell.

Seventh swell effect was pretty damn beautiful.

What romance? The dude just shouted ''I love you'' and the girl was like ''the fuck is he saying?'' Unfortunately this is one of those rare moments that it's not a better love story than twilight.

I didn't really like the seven swell to be honest.. rainbow? Something that is supposed to be badass and then we get a fricking rainbow? Also i found it weird that first there is a huge explosion and then we see the mecha in a Dragonball Z powerup stance after which it fights other mecha with its bare hands.
It might be just me but... When there is technology available that can create an explosion like that and even a fricking rainbow out of nothing then why can't the Nirvash get a weapon?? Why does it have to powerup in Dragon Ball Z fashion and then even go hand to hand in Dragon Ball Z fashion?
I also find it strange that this overly praised Cut Back Drop Turn is nothing more than a simple BACKFLIP with a cool name.

Lame.

"Without you...it's no good." I blushed XD

Nirvash annihilated that enemy squad effortlessly. I wonder why they won't show Renton's sister's face.

Damn, I have a bit of difficulty to follow the lore so far but I guess I'll get habituated later x)

The pale girl doesn't look human at all. She look humanoid, but she look like an alien or something like that. The rasta guy called her ''his princess''. I wonder if it was just to mock him or if she really is a princess.

I'm also curious about that picture Holland had. It look like the face of Renton sister was striped, like if he didn't liked her.

Renton look like your casual shounen boy. I hope he turn out epic. At least, he's not a pussy and doesn't seem shy at all :P

Ugh, the subtitles in Netflix are seriously the worst. Makes E7 even harder to follow than it should be. >_<

Better than the first episode at least. BONES original series are a weird sort.

The animation is top notch but why am I getting a Evangelion vibes. From the mecha awakening towards the end to the Pale girl that lacks human attributes. Also pink explosions, easily a Gundam homage. Hope they explain the universe's lure soon but so far my interest is peeked.

The first two episodes were rather slow. Since I've heard the show just has a slow start, I'm really hoping it gets better later on. The cast of characters in the opening look really interesting after all.

Lots of things happened and dramatic things said, but since I hardly know any of the characters, there is little weight and meaning behind their words and actions for me.

Even if you put them on weird hover boards, mecha suits still look pretty lame. Who knew?

Also, I find myself asking why is Renton so obnoxious, and then I remember he is a 14 year old boy therefore it makes sense. At least there are 48 episodes left for his character to change (please, please change).

Our boy Renton is clearly a chad, already confessing. But I guess there's something wrong with the girl, she was saying she cannot have children or something like that.

Fun episode, but I don't like how everyone is connected, Renton is going to be the chosen one huh.

I agree that storywise it isn't as appealing as the spectacle so far, but it's a 50 episode anime, so there's plenty of time to flesh things out properly.

Love the visuals and the opening, tho. Giving me Code Geass vibes, but no wonder, the song was sung by the same band.

I don’t think the show has done a very good job in making the audience want to care about the main protagonist. We have no idea why he looks up to Holland; is it because he’s the face of this rebel organization? The only part of his character that makes sense to me is that he’s looking for adventure because nothing interesting has happened yet in his short 14 years, but it seems like the writers had a more convoluted goal in mind, which just seems unnecessary to me.

It’s probably not fair to nit pick on the design of the mechas in this show, it just frustrates me that people also ride around on these hoverboards outside of the mechas. If people can use these boards without the mechas it ends up feeling lackluster and removes the significance of the original pull of the show, air surfing giant robot adventure. In my opinion it should have been one or the other, not both.

Despite some issues I have with the writing in these opening episodes, the aesthetic still draws me in enough to continue watching and the soundtrack has a great nostalgic charm that instantly puts me in a good mood.

The seventh swell cut was awesome, impactful and explosive which leaves promise in the future for some great mecha battles.

Better than the first episode but still, a lack of clarity and identity as a whole with what this show is trying to accomplish, especially with Renton since I don't even know why he loves and respects Holland so much to this lengths and what Holland's crew really is all about and how the world actually works. It is a 50 episode anime so patience is the key. Animation's still really good, but there wasn't enough going on with Eureka and Renton for me to care for the confession and more. Not a fan of the first 2 episodes at all compared to how I rated the show a few years back, which seems underwhelming but hopefully it gets better.

What brave man stands before my eyes? For Renton to state his love directly right then and there, he must either be a brave guy or simply an impulsive kid who spoke before he think!

The shows going for a mysterious type of world-building, many things are happening but the audience has little information as to what's truly going on. As others have said before me, with 50 eps, there's no need to rush and reveal everything. Just gotta take it nice and slow...

What I know for certain is the animation does not disappoint, the fight, if it can be called such, was smooth, even got the classic missile barrage scenes most sci-fi shows has. The seven swells itself is vibrant and captivating even though I have nothing but ideas of what the hell it actually is. Well, it seems that after all that and a bunch of believing Renton is finally getting what he had always wanted, a thrilling life full of action and no boredom. In fact, it seems that is how his life should've been if not for his grandfather who insisted on letting Renton taste the feeling of ordinary life before he inevitably got dragged into a life which his father and sister was dragged to before.

this episode was a mashed up selection of scenes from all angles of time randomly thrown together without any context or explanation. the surfing aspect is dumb but the story progression is awful so far. i hated this episode.

i dont have time finally get some clear story progression after 30 episodes or whatever. so far closing in on 100 anime series scored on here in the past year or so, ive dropped only one. this is likely to be the second. ill give it one more episode to see.

i know this is old too but the disco ball intro music is doing nothing to help either except further encouraging me to drop this.
