Eureka Seven AO: Jungfrau no Hanabana-tachi

After the rather emotional roller-coaster that both Eureka Seven and Eureka Seven AO take you on, it is beyond great that there is a lighthearted installment to the 'franchise.' While I feel that bringing in the childlike Otaku'ness' of Elena it's mostly just an excuse to bring Eureka's "character design" back/dress Ao up in Eureka's clothes, there is a very brief reference to Soul Eater in there as well. It was nice to see a carefree situation where my favorite characters could actually enjoy themselves for once. Was it entirely necessary? Not at all; though I am quite satisfied with the results. ~ ♥

Ok so now I've already finish this one off special thingy, what do I have to say?

First of all info states that this 30 min special is actually set between the 8th and 9th episode of its parent anime. I quite disgusting that studio Bones have to waste it's time making some OVA that should have been included a part of the parent anime's episode, it is also a waste of time for us audience that we're made to wait for a little bit longer for the parent anime's last 2 episode and this stupid studio wants us to watch an OVA which should have ... been shown along with the parent anime's episode. Wtf was going on within the mind of Tomoki Kyoda's the director of Eureka 7 Ao? Frankly to make such a meaningful review of this thing would be useless, since it would be nothing more that being in a forum, and this review ain't a review but more of a rant against studio Bones and the director Tomoki Kyoda.

My ratings:

Story: Mediocre 5.

Since this OVA is more like a filler episode to compensate for the much awaited last 2 episode of its parent anime.

Art: Mediocre 5.

Isn't obvious, btw, I hate the idea that Ao was made to dress up like a girl and the swimsuit fanservice sucks.

Sound: Mediocre 5.

No comment here.

Character: Mediocre 5.

Since most of the characters are still there prior to Ao's used of the quartz gun.

Enjoyment: Fair 6.

Ok, so this OVA as a filler was a bit funny after seeing Ao, Fleur and Elena on a trip to attend some cosplay festival in Switzerland, but have dodge a pesky reported, and that's as good as it gets.

Overall: Pathetic 1.

The introduction of this OVA is simply a case of too little, too late.......unless of course one would wanna buy a blu ray disc of this anime. The studio should have just proceeded with the parent anime's last 2 episode instead of making us audience wait till November, studio Bones really sucks.
