So..... if this is, as some say, an alternate Earth/timeline with these Scub Burst as possible gateways between each other then...
Joke theory: Eureka had an affair and dumped Ao here.

On a more serious note, they should do like a 5 minute clip explaining some of the terminologies used. It'll go fine so long as they explain some of the things better.

Oh, so the teams where Ao is transported have names based on fairy tale characters, Ao belongs to Piped piper and the first teams that were send in are called Goldilocks.

The Eva quotes/references so far in this series are welcome, but they should be careful not to cross the line separating homage and ripoff...

Why did you come here, Ao? Why do you pilot the Nirvash? You mustn't run away!


what are you talking about? that line was crossed already
i would refrain from any Eva references in the future - not that its possible anymore, isnt it?

- just look at the G-Monsters... if that doesnt remind you Ramiel, im sure this wasnt really intended (but the similarity is still there), but the abstract design doesnt fit either way
- also Nirvash ascending on the elevator in the hangar - looks like evangelion hangar in Nerv
- and then there is previous episode...

is it just me?

I'm pretty sure it's just you, sspit.

You say that as if Ramiel was an original creation of Evangelion.

thats just an impression you have...
i never even though about it , whether Eva was inspired or 'stole' something like that to be honest (so i couldnt think Eva was original)
btw i was talking more about the Ramiel in Rebuild of Evangelion, there it was much more abstract than in the original series

plus, my problem isnt really what the looks remind me of, but what they symbolize - the abstract form, you could say it looks similar to Star Wars empire's fighters or plenty other things,
but the abstract look and particularly the separate unconnected body, hints at 'other' dimensions, sci-fi, hyperspace and this kind of thing - thats not something the corals should give off at least judging from the prequel

if its just me, then good for everybody else, as it ruins my experience quite a bit

but you seem to have the knowledge of what other people think, i could use that too

"Take me to your leader!"
Oh man, I was like, is that a song title ref, or movie/tv quote?!

Anyways, mood swings from Fluer and Eli much? They help Ao and the next thing is that they leave him alone wondering what to do, even worse is that Ao just sits there or stands about like a sim waiting for me to click on him and go the toilets.

Ao hasn't earnt Fluer and Eli's respect yet maybe? But it seems to have changed when Ao don the suit. I mean, I wouldn't call him a best bud that quick, a civilian who just happen to be able to pilot Mark I to join the top team in GenBleu.
(And he did kinda end up in the girls dorm room... which I would probably feel abit, trespassed...? who cares, Ao, don't just stand there! DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!)
Gonna have to watch the episode the 4th time.

Ao didn't really know exactly why he was joining Generation Blue after when Goldilocks Bruno tells him to go home... Seems like he made up his mind to stay.

Maybe this episode is a bit fast paced with the characters...

The original Eureka 7 was borrowing from and referencing Evangelion a whole lot already. This new series seems to be turning that up even more, really.

true, the prequel had many elements similar
- some gore scenes (Anemone on killing spree against corals in some city)
- the psychological 'crap' (i like it) - that ep where Renton met Anemone first time
- and sometimes the cabins of LFO looked similar, because of the clean view from cabin on surroundings
- or Seventh Swell
- or the fact that LFO looked biological and also 'evil' (cant help it) (i never did get the blood thing, but id like to see some bio in mechs here too)

i was surprised to see that kind of violence in Eureka and there were several such moments, not that i complain, i like psychological
and i think this Eureka will have the violence toned down and also the psychological themes

to get back to my point, borrowing things is not simply uncreativity and it can be a good thing, in the prequel i liked what i saw and actually i wanted even more similarities with Eva ( Eureka 7 was not that 'innocent' - it shouldnt be passed off as adventure love story - there were some existential or psychological themes)

but i feel that this time Eureka is borrowing wrong things, this time it doesnt feel like borrowing but imitating - half assed one

btw
right now (im on ep6) i feel i want to see Anemone-like character here the most of all

maybe not the correct term, its more like the characters dont react to the plot, so things seem to move fast because they 'slip through' the characters

I have to love all the other anime references in this series. Also why does the whole world seem to hate Ao?

Ao is in the girls dorm and not being punished?

the way the 2 girls treating him feels like how the military treats rookies

This ain't no sequel! This is more like a spin-off...and a lightweight one at that. Only 5 eps in and I can already tell this is not on par with the prequel. Oh well...
