| It's very horrible to hate Ao just because others view him as an alien and disaster bringer. Such a waste not many people watch E7 AO. It's been great so far |
| I really like the glimpse we got of Eureka's face. Next ep should be good. Ao fights the beast. |

| anime great so far but i really hope they will explain what happened to Renton and Eureka .. cuz im so confused right now.. i mean the reason she fell down the sky and where Renton was during that time. .. and so on |

skudoops said: I cannot stress how godlike the OST is for this show... totally agree. much like how E7 soundtrack was, differently awesome yet nostalgic. |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Now we have a huge surfing board attacking the island. Who else think the minions are actually representation of skyfish? Great episode overall. Ao is already a man. Renton took 50 episodes to become one! Eureka looked so pretty when she had Ao on her lap and smiled. 5/5 |

| It doesn't make a good impression if the head of the government spends his time dancing with idols along with all the implications like taking money from other countries despite claiming to seek independence. The father-son conflicts introduced in this episode has a lot of potential. It's the new generation that tries to find solutions for their country without resorting to an easy answer by using a scapegoat. |
 |
| Notable animation drop this time (that was expected though), but the script developed well and everything is getting clearer. The music's still top notch too. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Ok, I just have to say I miss the REF Boarding LFO from original E7 and the 'better' air action. But I think it should occur soon though. This episode is enough to confirm that Eureka is Ao's mother. Come on. How clueless can you get? Also, I never noticed she had to die her hair. I thought it was losing colour on it own... Furthermore, I think the source was correct, I did state before that Eureka may have not died and taken away by the government instead. So we have hope she is still alive. Eureka did seem happy in the photo though <3 And finally. WTF is Renton. I hope its a happy ending though. Like Renton saving her from the Government with Ao and them actually achieving co-existence between Coralians and Humans... But Like we all know. Anime plots don't happen like that anymore TAT |
| I really really want to know wtf happened between E7 and AO.... |
| How can anyone still be doubting that Eureka is Ao's mother? It is pretty damn clear. Hmmm... I'm still on the time travel side of this all. Animation was not as good this episode sadly. Hope we don't have to wait to long for word on Renton, the suspense is killing me. |
| I hope they don't mess with E7's story too much in order to make all this storyline fit in. Nice ep though. |

This is clearly after the events of the original E7 with no time traveling or space distortion involved....Because the IFPs used in this series are upgraded LFOs, since they're made by combining LFOs and technology from the scub corals. |
| I like how Ao has his shit together and doesn't have that bout of indecisiveness that plagued Renton on the first episodes of E7 but if the character goes headstrong early on there won't be that much character development for Ao compared to Renton. Watching Renton grow up and mature and come of age was what made E7 really enjoyable for me. That feeling where you have to root for him against all odds. But still it's too early tell and we're slated for only 24 episodes. |

InfiniteDestiny said: Can't help but feel bitter at those Eureka flashbacks, keeps on reminding me that something happened to screw up the happy feeling that the prequel's end gave. That's one or probably the only thing that is bothering me, that ending in the original was imo perfect, no need to ruin it... but oh well $$$ Despite what I said above, Bones is redeeming themselves after the last 2 clusterfucks they made, star driver and heroman. This "sequel" till now has been very well crafted... the story has been interesting and entertaining (minus backflashs), the sound/music superb, great art and animation, I'm looking forward to the secondary/support characters to come, plus the antagonist. Right now I would say that after Fate/Zero this is the second best anime show of this season. |

Where has this been stated? LFOs have never been mentioned thus far in the anime-airing of AO (at least to my knowledge). If you've seen the first series, you may realize that LFOs are mechanized technology built upon a biological platform, which are "mined" out of the Scub Coral itself (your mention to "Coralian technology"?). As for setting, the culture and geo-political climate are just too radically different from the original series for it to be the same. * No moon-graffiti. * No mention of the tower states or Federation at ALL. * No mention of the Second Summer of Love, lifting, or hippy culture in general. * Half of the Earth should still be covered in Scub; there's only sparse pockets to be seen in AO. * The Scub is seemingly malevolent, and either way, certainly different than seen in the first series. * No lack of 20th century nations, complete with xenophobia and at best cryptic knowledge of the Scub Coral in general -- humanity in the original series would KNOW by this point how the Coralians work. * Eureka and Renton would be globally-renowned heroes. I could go on further, but there's just too many discrepancies. I'm also not subscribing to just time-travel either; I believe it's in a separate dimension all together, as the Nirvash had mentioned in the first series finale, after all, inter-dimensional travel. |
Gameprocjk said: So what did everyone think of the episode, personally i loved it. I loved how AO is finally deciding how he wants to fight. He wants to fight to protect the island, to protect those who were cruel to him. Thats something that i am not sure i would have used as my reason to fight. Sooooo What was everyone's opinion? I thought it was great, and most people in the thread seem to echo this sentiment; it's nuanced in its storytelling, and is thus far exceeding the expectations I had for it, which is relatively high, given its predecessor's pedigree. I personally love series' that give me a lot to think about, and AO hasn't disappointed on that front yet. |
| Loved the episode, loved the conflict between Ao and the island. I am hooked. |
 |
| I'm kinda confused do I have to watch the movie that came out in 2009 to understand all of this or can I figure it out witout having to watch the movie? |
Superassassin99 said: I'm kinda confused do I have to watch the movie that came out in 2009 to understand all of this or can I figure it out witout having to watch the movie? The movie was alternate universe. Ao is a sequel to the 2005 TV series. Watching the original tv series is recommended. |

| So Ao's mother is indeed Eureka, it's interesting though so Ao's Renton and Eureka's son and if so what happened with Renton? Still quite interesting development so let's see what will happen next! |
 |
| Still confused and alot of characters at once but the show certainly has my attention! |
 |
| Op updated with Ao's green hair Two Hatsune Miku references in a scenes involving resident Otaku pilot Elena. The G-Monster is shaped like the board Eureka and Renton rode! So are these creatures mimicking objects from the original Eureka Seven timeline/timeframe? Eureka dyed her teal hair black in response to the racism she faced from the islanders, and now her son's teal hair has emerged. |
