@BRSxIgnition You really put a nail in the coffin there.

Agreed for 1-5, but for (6) here's my take on it:

Yes, SOME of the technology we've seen in AO has been far inferior to that of E7 ex you mentioned battleships < floating fortresses but couter-examples exist and the technology cannot be said to be strictly inferior or superior to that of the original series:

- in the end of E7 we see Renton's GP and the kids taking a train/tram < floating vehicles/trains of AO..
- Gen Bleu's main ship > to the Gekko ship I say

NEUTRALITY exists however:
- hover cars floating over regular motorized vehicles.
- gen Bleu's plamfacing over the fighter jets going against the secret.
- the resurgence of trapar energy exploitation/use
- heck, the NIRVASH is still there

More examples will be revealed BECAUSE I believe one of the main themes we see developing in this show is that of the modern vs the old.

Explanation: The end of the original series saw both 'Earths' merging together (destroys any ideas of alternate settings). We can assume the level of technology on that other earth to be inferior to the one we were accustomed to seeing E7's crew on, hence possibly the reason for discrepancies in technologies.

@WTF Happened to Renton? Maybe he'll just pop up later in the show and be like, 'sup kiddo? Haven't seen you in a while...

Episode seemed like a waste.
Nasu is irritating.
The love between Renton and her is uncomparable ._.

As for everything I learnt this episode - I didn't.
LOL I feel like I need to rewatch season 1 to understand everything going on :X

What do you mean by "both Earths?" The entire series took place on the layer of Scub Coral that grew over and was suspended above the Earth - the same Earth that mankind left 10,000 years prior to the start of the series due to the rapidly growing Scub Coral that could only communicate and understand by assimilation. I thought the series made this obvious, but apparently it was too subtle.

You are not alone. It was as clear as day but a lot of people here probably watched the series 6 years ago and forgot most of it. I just finished watching the original series this week and it all makes sense. All we need now is some confirmation about the different ongoing theories.



The concept of "past" and "present" is meaningless if we are talking about different dimensions.

Great episode, loving this series so far.

i dislike the eva references - and some other ones too

- Elena: "I can be replaced" - evangelion, quote of Rei, unfitting and forced, it sounded like stupid person misusing intelligent quote he doesnt understand
i dont care about this anime's reputation but when it drags down other one's too its going too far, ill never forgive this

- around 3rd minute : jets firing off missiles into The Secret - it shows that 'conventional weaponry is useless' and i cant help but see Evangelion the whole time... (actually this scene totally reminds me of Rahxephon, thx to the jet fighter designs attacking Mu-like enemy)

- right after that scene, Elena's blue mech makes familiar stance - just like Athrun Zara's from Gundam Seed - with four legs... (or Ali Al Saachez - gundam00 or any other fourarmed/legged gundam))

- the lock-on-enemy system in her mech = IDENTICAL with the one Kira Yamato uses in Gundam Seed, i was just waiting for the laser spam... creativity allright, just put there triangles instead of squares...

- instead of lasers it was homing missiles, and explosion spam, just the same way as in Code Geass (remember Lelouch using his black Nightmare against the GB airforce? (end of 1st season))

- and Elena saying " Elena, musou gauge full" - to be honest , i was expecting "Lockon Stratos, Targeting and firing" (gundam00) or something like that, the clothes, the way the scene was presented - screams gundam

- the mechs also look bit similar to Flags from Gundam 00

- The Secret totally makes you think of an Angel from Evangelion - big and invulnerable
- G-Monsters - Ramiel anyone?

and this is just this single episode

i realize some references may be indirect or coincidence or an inspiration or just similarity as one mechanime to another,but its too much...

series is good - 7/10, but weak, biggest disappointment is
- the wishy-washy soundtrack (i wanted more Sato Naoki, not this...)
- no riffing(no freedom! no flying in the wind)
- soulless characters - you could see the adventure seeking nature of Renton, mysteriousness of Eureka and the ambivalence in Holland from the very beginning
what do we have here? fanservice girls, and pretty boy, who will get on my nerves more than Renton thx to his 'follow everyone else' nature - and by the way he is totally like Renton(determination)+Eureka(fragile, 'deppressions' ='im different'), he is really their child... but i dont think it works well for main character

i think this is dumbed down version of its prequel

Well, yes, that is the point, she is a terrible otaku who keeps quoting anime nobody else cares about. It is perfectly in character.

Gekko State:

i know but the way its done screams cheap, like they designed the character that way so they can insert those things in there, not the opposite - BIG difference



nice catch, where is the first picture from?
so there might be slight possibility of Gekkostate forming after all?

I got the first image from the end of the first Eureka ending theme.

I thought the Nirvash evolved into a higher being and left along with the Scab Coral, so why the need to become a machine again and be piloted?

Also I still don't get anything yet...so far i know Eureka is Ao's mother, but it doesn't make sense...what about the three kids who were praying for "mama" to come back in the last episode of Eureka Seven? She abandon them?

This series is a sequel due to the fact that Eureka is somehow related to the plot and the Nirvash...

Why is the Scab Coral attacking? or so it seems? I thought it wanted to live with the humans and whatnot, hence the reason Eureka and other Coralians exist in human forms...

Too early for me to say, but with only 24 episodes and A LOT to explain since this is a so called sequel I hope they don't screw up the plot

after watching 9 eps im pretty sure that isn't even the real nirvash :| it's prolly a full machine mecha made special due to eureka's involvement

Calling it the Nirvash has to have some kind of relation with the previous one...otherwise why bother call it Nirvash?

Anyone else think Naru would go with Ao? Seems kind of pointless for her to stay.

and i'm in the time travel camp. I think this is in the past for some reason.

She has a home and a biological family; she can't leave her way of life as easily as Ao can.

a quick question about this episode if someone can help explain to me who this character is.


thanks, i'm a tad bit confused right now

I can't remember his name, and I'd look it up if he were a more prominent character, but he isn't; I wouldn't get too wrapped up in it. If you're asking his connection to Gen Bleu and Ao, he recalled that the Nirvash Ao is flying was what saved Okinawa from the scub burst ten years prior, so he feels he owes a sort of debt, and found repayment by helping Ao.

He's just some random Okinawan who works on Plant Coral. He's later shown

fantastic responses, thanks all! ^o^

Need more fanservice/boobies for sure..

but I don't have any urge to drop it yet, so that's a good sign.

Let's hope it doesn't disappoint like 90% of the reviews.
