| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- No Renton. The Secret speaks. They are apparently here to destroy the quartz? Generation Blue chief orders everyone to destroy the Secrets? Naru, typeZero and Eureka in next ep. I really don't know much Japanese, but I could understand most of the previous episodes. Not this one though. |
| 2 weeks break BONES  |
| Are you kidding me?; 2 weeks break? Bones just want to make us suffer. |
| Hiatus probably due to olympics. Are other broadcasters having a break too? |
| Well maybe they will shoot the screenwriter, at last, and will bring the old author back to save the show... Where is the magic of original E7? Where are emotions that made crazy? Where is touching story-line? I do realize that it was a fairy tale, but it was a story you want to dive into. As for this one, I do not feel anything about it... Oh no, sorry, I do feel... great disappointment. And emotions... this makes E7 different from 95% of all other anime series. Just look at the pictures below. Have you seen the same emotions in this one? (For sure many people will post similar screenshots from AO, but be honest, do they feel the same? ) http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc308/AkariSato/Eureka%207/Renton-and-Eureka.jpg http://karmaburn.com/files/screenshots/eureka7/anemone4801.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nb7ga4A1Xk4/SfUiGLdEMiI/AAAAAAAABxA/4_pepqk7450/s1600/family.jpg http://www.sdsandwiches.com/omegaskies-holland-small.jpg http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/9407/eureka892.png http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/1410/eureka89.png http://grayphantom.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/g_p-eureka-seven-39x264258dc408mkv-00000.jpg http://i.animecrazy.net/Eureka_7.jpg http://i.animecrazy.net/eureka_seven_summer_of_love.jpg |

I like Ao, it is a good show but you nailed something: these past weeks many people have wanted to see a new episode just for Renton, Eureka, Gekkostate and all the characters of the original E7. |
| Ao wanted to get stronger, but got shot by human type secret. People worrying about him not acting well because of Eureka. Revealing of secret in public. Secrets are here for the weird plants? Next ep. airing August 16, 2012... because of Olympic? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Japan needs an ESPN Japan. I guess I should be grateful that they're airing the new episode before I start work on rotations |
| It speaks! Meh, 2 week break.. |
 |

Rogalicus said: a_guest said: And emotions... this makes E7 different from 95% of all other anime series. How many series have you watched? Please read till the end :-) First of all, your question needs to be rephrased: How many titles have you started to watch and dropped after 2-4 episodes (it is quite hard to watch something, you don't like). Well somewhere between 40 and 100. Most of it was so rubbish that I can not even remember the titles themselves. So, a small, but base for statistics. I guess your next question will be "Then how can you say FOR 95% of ALL anime series, when you haven't watched all of them?", or something like this... Anyway. My opinion is also easy to explain.The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Or more practical "80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients". This rule have proved itself to be true, in many aspects of life. So i guess (sorry if I'm wrong :0) ) it can be applied to anime series as well (20% of anime generates 80% of anime fans(based on emotions they felt)). For each person this 20% list may vary (people are different ?? :)), BUT there are still titles that can ally people with different tastes. And I'm not talking about most popular series, at ongoing/short period, but about series that may have never been on the top, but mentioned and remembered for a long time because of emotional, let's call it "stress", they are remembered, and can To avoid long stories and discussions I will give some of my favorite titles: Eureka Seven: Psalms of planets, Ghost in a shell (all of them), Ergo Proxy, Future diary, some others, but let's keep it short. So I don't think that many people here will like Ergo Proxy for example, but E7 and Ghost in a shell will get their "Likes" from most of the people.So, I presume some more series will be filtered. And so on... And in my, persomal case, E7 was "different", for no logical reason. Ghost in a shell, Ergo Proxy - great, interesting, emotional but E7 still "different". How many of "different" ones do you have?:) It is all very raw, and numbers may vary (be more or less), and my explanation can be quite bad, but I hope, that I could explain the idea. Or not... :) And i still hope that they will (shoot) fire(sounds better) the screenwriter, at last, and will bring the old author back. |
| So when will this Subbed episode be released, next week or 2 weeks from now? |
| I'm loving the series so far ^_^ Although I wish they would give us some answers, and I do miss the whole continuing romance thing like they had with Renton and Eureka. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

Pie is delicious. |
| Good episode; was mostly build-up, but solid, nonetheless. I believe there was a tweet from the director saying something along the lines of: "Doing episode 16 like a finale", so I'm expecting great things from next episode. Too bad we'll have to wait till AUGUST 16th for it. |
Momoko11 said: I agree. I simply liked the characters in E7 more. Some of the characters in AO aren't bad...but I don't feel the chemistry. E7 had many heartwarming moments that I have yet to feel in AO...lets hope we can experience that feeling again before the end.a_guest said: Well maybe they will shoot the screenwriter, at last, and will bring the old author back to save the show...

Just look at the pictures below. Have you seen the same emotions in this one? (For sure many people will post similar screenshots from AO, but be honest, do they feel the same? ) I completely agree with you. E7 was so epic, and emotional it gives me butterfly's just thinking about it! What E7 AO really lacks I think is good developed characters who have strong connections. I wish in E7 AO we would get to know the generation blue crew a little better. I also wish Naru would have gone with AO in the beginning and had thier journey together like Eureka and Renton. It would be nice is AO had a strong emotional connection to SOMEBODY! Or if when Naru was taken by truth he would have gone to save her despite what gen. blue said! Or if he would have cried uncontrolaby when he saw his mom for the first time in 11 years! It's so frustrating. It's like he doesn't care. Why can't he have more of Renton's quality's. Despite Renton's wimpy-ness he would have done ANYTHING for Eureka and The Gekko State. Ugh. I just want better characters, better connections. Better everything. Let's face it , we're all only watching this series to see our beloved Renton, Eureka, Anemone, Dominic, TheEND, and the Nirvash again. |
| Why are they torturing us with a 2 week break. '_____' |
the_trainman said: Blah blah blah secrets are good, scub is getting pissed because gen bleu jacked teh big quartz. you sum it up nicely still a good build up episode though |
| So the secrets are kinda like the Reapers in away lol but what the fuck 2 weeks!? shit looked kinda crazy in the Preview :c |
 |
Momoko11 said: Let's face it , we're all only watching this series to see our beloved Renton, Eureka, Anemone, Dominic, TheEND, and the Nirvash again. Totally agree with your statement. The only reason i check back on this series week after week is to see Renton and Eureka again. First few episodes i accepted the show but now i just dont even care what happens anymore. Still going to keep watching Ao for the sake of finishing it. |

| This show can now be named "Theater of Poor Shadows", as everything here looks like a shadow of original... Even the battle scenes. |
knightofdread said: good episode, i don't understand why people keep saying how this show doesn't stand up to the original well from what i can tell it's not trying to stand up to the original so stop trying to compare the two. Because it's a direct sequel, why wouldn't we compare it? It doesn't bother me at all that they use a different cast and setting, but are they giving us what we loved about the original? Hell, most of us might not even be watching it if it weren't for the title. |
| That was good episode but damn 3 weeks hiatus |
 |
| things are falling into place like a prefect puzzle, so many question anwsered, thought is would had taken more time. |
a_guest said: This show can now be named "Theater of Poor Shadows", as everything here looks like a shadow of original... Even the battle scenes. You've already stated your disdain for the series in two separate posts, so what's the purpose of this one? It's cluttering up the discussion with something you could have expressed neatly in one or two other postings. kenshin_sama said: Because it's a direct sequel, why wouldn't we compare it? It doesn't bother me at all that they use a different cast and setting, but are they giving us what we loved about the original? Hell, most of us might not even be watching it if it weren't for the title. To give my opinion, I agree, they should be compared based upon their own merits and demerits. For instance, I'll agree that the original series had better character development overall, and a greatly imaginative setting and culture that really set itself apart from other titles in the genre. At its expense, the pacing was uneven at best, and lacked the nuances in its world-building and exposition that AO has displayed -- so both series have their own respective strengths and weaknesses. Personally, the reason I believe AO has been so controversial can be summarized between two different groups of people: Those who went in expecting an Eureka Seven: Redux Edition, and those who expected something DIFFERENT. Admittedly, while I went in expecting it to be substantially different based upon what I knew of the series before going in, I wasn't optimistic, as even seven years later, I hadn't really thought of a sequel as being necessary, or even desired in any capacity. Lo and behold, the first episode had me hooked, and there were many aspects that I actually found superior to the original (and still do); so I found this series a pleasant surprise. Momoko11 said: Let's face it , we're all only watching this series to see our beloved Renton, Eureka, Anemone, Dominic, TheEND, and the Nirvash again. Completely wrong; many may not care to make it vocal in this thread, but that's just false. If you're going to ignore all of the other aspects that's made this show stand apart (in a good way, in my opinion), then why are you even watching? I'm happy the producers have tried something daring again with the franchise, and instead avoided a hammy, fan-pandering mess. Threads such as these should really be the places where we discuss such things, however: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=460249 http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=464557 |

| Dangerr: The first post was created, after watching the RAW and the second was related to text (subs). So these are 2 posts about 2 different things. I agree, that i should mention it. I also agree that shows can be different, and I hope that in the future episodes there will be some kind of WOW effect, but in some cases it is better to stop (like Treminator 1-2 great 3-and on rubbish). |

Fair enough. I would just like to try keeping the discussion clutter to a minimum, as we seemingly have a new person every week asking questions or making speculations about something that's already been discussed to death; having to sift through arbitrary chatter or general criticisms of the series can ward off those seeking to have an actual discourse over elements of the episode at hand, or cause them to skip over what's been said to submit their own information, which turns out being either outdated or redundant. There should be a few threads dedicated toward general criticisms of the series. |
DangerrJul 28, 2012 3:29 AM
| Yeah I'm really only in this for Renton lol..(I hope thats Renton in OP Song cause dude looks fckin boss XD) To be honest I wish they would of made a sequel about the 3 kids that Eureka and Renton raised in the original E7. To me that would of made a lot more sense because they actually have emotional attachment to Eureka and Renton and not this I hate my dad but love my mom garbage their pushing with AO. Plus with those 3 kids I feel like character development would of actually existed and I could totally believe them trying to do anything to get Renton and Eureka back. In terms of the episode I thought it was pretty weak. The only good thing about the episode was seeing the Secrets talk. |

| Finally the story inches forward, but damn 2 week break. Why? |
| Too much hate for this show, and the funny thing is most of complaints aren't even real issues with the show. Just people's preference, most are complaining trivial things like wanting to see more characters from original E7. Anyway, a pretty good episode. 4.5/5 |
 |
| I am not buying what Secrets say. For protectors, they are a bit too trigger happy on eliminating any humans they can see. Of course, it is also possible that Secrets are just badly made machines XP On other hand, I am not trusting the Corals either. We saw in last ep that Eureka and Naru, both of whom could be called Coral Representatives, have conflicting opinions. It is quite possible that Coralians are split into two factions. Also, I wonder if the Secrets are not from the future. Maybe someone from old cast created them to destroy the quartz for some reason and, in inventor's beliefs, save the humanity. And treads here seriously have too many useless comments that have nothing to do with the episodes. Shouldn't there be a thread for whining so Episode discussion terads could stay.... well, episode discussion treads. |
