this ain't funny. not even remotely.

I really don't understand the haters of this show.

So it's not as good as the prequel series, so what?

because normally when a good show gets a sequel one would expect the sequel to be good.

I don't think it's warranted quite as much hate as it's received; there's been numerous other shows this year that are certainly better, but none were as much fun to discuss or speculate over (for me, anyways) - so that, I'll give to Ao's credit.

That being said, however, the original is markedly superior.

I think it's stupid to make us wait...like really?

True, but AO is for one thing, a ridiculously enjoyable plot and good action sequences even if it rips off Eva far more than the first series ever did. The other thing is, a lot of the people I've seen hating on this series come across as elitist first series lovers who are butthurt over the fact that AO isn't another love story.

Granted, it's not as good as the first series and I'll admit that, but as far as sequels go the show has been executed well so far, totally dispelled my fear that this would turn out like the horrible Last Exile sequel.

No one honestly gives a shit about romance in a mecha anime. The elitists you presume aren't elitists at all. What made Eureka Seven a great anime was that it had major character development within the entire cast of characters. Ao has minimal efforts in character development.
Notice that you dont give a shit about any of the characters in Ao, where as in the original series contain characters that were memorable.

Have some knowledge on what makes a good story, and then talk.

Well freaken said.

why <.<
oh well, guess i'll watch Autumn anime while waiting...

that aint cool 1 month for the last 2 episodes.

oh come on.

Oh it makes me laugh when I see stuff like this.

I don't think there's any reason for you to sound so butthurt over what I said.

The thing is, the very same could be argued for no one caring about character development in mecha anime either. Besides, I disagree about "major" character development, Renton went from being a coward to a hero in like 2 minutes in the final episode, I'd hardly call that major.

But considering that the romance between Renton and Eureka is the driving force of the original series, and people have actually given a shit about it in the past, I'd say your point is pretty much moot. Oh yeah, the story in AO is 10 times better than the original anyway.

I'd also hazard a guess at the sound of things that you're one of the elitists trying to hide the fact that they are elitist?

Probably true in a lot of cases, but romantic love was pretty much the central theme of the entire first season... I don't think your statement holds so categorically for Eureka Seven as it might for some other mecha.

That's one of the perks of waiting for a series to finish airing.

Damn that is a while. Reminds me a bit when they did this for Madoka Magica but there was a special difference to that. But i hope it ends well and maybe a teaser for another season. That would be awesome

Agreed it's pretty much riding on the originals coat tails and nothing more.

Wow goes to show how knowledgeable you are with good animes.

Comprehend please. "No one honestly gives a shit about romance in a mecha anime", means that when you first look at a mecha anime, you probably don't expect to see romance being a huge impact on the storyline. So yes my point is completely valid.
But unlike character development, it's always needed in any story. Any good book, play, manga, movie, anime etc will contain character development.

When did i say i was hiding the fact that i'm an elitist? Let me guess, your one of those idiots who try to hide behind memes to make them feel special? Example: u mad bro?

"No one honestly gives a shit about romance in a mecha anime", means that when you first look at a mecha anime, you probably don't expect to see romance being a huge impact on the storyline.

Usually, yeah. But "usually" or "probably" imply there are exceptions. I think Eureka Seven's first season is definitely one of those. So I'm not surprised someone would have anticipated something similar from the sequel. I only watched the first episode of AO so I can't speak to what degree it pushed romance.
