| I've been considering watching Eureka 7 for a while because I love anything made by Bones Studio. Unfortunately, I'm not really a fan of mecha but I did enjoy Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan because of the awesome animation and lovable characters. Also, the amount of episodes (50) seems rather daunting but is it worth the watch? I want to hear from people who have seen it!!! |
| In short yes.... but I think this is meant to go into the recommendations sub-section. |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |
| Yes, for 2005 anime, the art and animation were top notch (it's BONES so what else would you expect). The story starts to get pretty faced paced half way through it for the most part. |
| Yea, Eureka 7 isn't as..well.. "Gundam-ey" as you might think. It's worth a look, regardless if you're a mecha fan or not. |
| Yes. The first half is too filler-packed, but the second starts revealing what their world is and has a good plot. |
 |
It's been "MEH" since I started the series. Eureka stares are pretty creepy. |

| Yes it is BUT for you probably not cause Eureka 7 ain't TTGL, quite opposite in fact. |
| Is this some kind of sick joke? |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |
| It's a good anime definitely worth watching. Few I've seen think it's amazing though.Myself included.Don't let that stop you from watching and forming an opinion of the show yourself. |

| It's an action/mecha/romance classic. The plot quickly picks up by like episode 20, and by then you'll hopefully understand why so many people love the franchise. You may get pissed off at Renton, though. When I mean pissed, I mean REALLY pissed. -_- |

| I've seen a couple episodes on Toonami and to me it just seemed like an Evangelion clone, so I didn't bother with it after that. |

He probably means the characters are like the mains from Evangelion, and I can see the reference clearly, but it's easy to look past after a couple of episodes |

I don't know what episodes you saw, but it is about as far as you can get from an Eva clone. I just noticed nearly identical character archetypes. Renton --> Shinji Eureka --> Rei Plus it's a mecha show in which the mechas seemed to have more significance than just as a giant weapon. Seems pretty similar to Eva to me. |

Okay, Eva was a deconstruction of an entire genre. So yeah, there are going to be similarities to other mecha shows. Both characters grow and develop in ways that their Eva counterparts never could. It's a lot more sincere than Eva. etc. I could go on and on. |

| Yes. Go. Watch. Now. |

| Eureka 7 is an alright show. Eureka herself is a pretty boring character. |

Even though he DOES go through some development (and trust me, I LOVE seeing him be the badass hero), whenever he breaks down crying for no damn reason, I feel cheated by his development as a character. Sure, he's a 14 year old kid and he's thrown into hell, and a lot of the times his crying is called for. But it just gets repetitive, especially when it's his breakdowns are out of place. |

| Yeah, most definitely. Unfortunately the MC drags the anime down, the charisma of an eggplant and whines more than my baby sister. Not a big fan of the other main castmembers either but it has some of the best sidecharacters I know. But the excellent world, gorgeous animation, great atmosphere and intriguing story more than make up for that. Not to mention it has one of the best soundtracks I know. |

You know what? I'm not even going to argue with you. I think you have completely valid points. I wasn't irked by it myself, but I can see why someone would be. Thank you for a well constructed post. |

| Yes, watch it. I thought it was really good, especially the second half. Eureka wasn't a boring character at all to me. She actually had some decent development unlike Rei. It also has an amazing ost. The only problem are those damn annoying kids lol. It's one of my fav anime so I may be a bit biased. |
megabot_SL-1200 said: The only problem are those damn annoying kids lol. Oh man! I completely forgot those kids. Yes, they are annoying and unfortunately integral to the show. Especially Eureka's character. I wished so many times for an Eureka 7: Brotherhood reboot that was exactly the same sans the children. |

| I watched a good amount of Eureka Seven when it aired in the NA, I thought it was pretty good, had the intrigue of evangelion but with the organization of a Universay century Gundam series. Well written! I've seen there's a new series for it too, I forgot what it's called, would any of you recommend it? |
| I will show you fear in a handful of dust. |
Neane1993 said: Most fans of Eureka 7 hate AO (that's the series you are thinking of) I haven't seen it, but I want to. The thing that stops me is everyone saying had bad it is. |

Not sure when I'll finish. In short it's probably worth watching if you like that kind of thing. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Eureka Seven AO doesn't live up to the original series, that's clear. But I still liked it, just don't have high hopes about it |
| If you loved TTGL, don't expect Eureka Seven to be like that it's entirely different. If you loved NGE, then watch Eureka Seven. Eureka Seven has great animation for a 2005 anime and Eureka is one of my favorite characters. Eureka Seven is my 3rd favorite anime and I recommend you to watch it. You can watch AO but it's not a good as the original one. |

DCsilvers said: Eureka Seven AO doesn't live up to the original series, that's clear. But I still liked it, just don't have high hopes about it I agree, while it didn't live up to expectations.... It still was a good watch. So in short answer to this thread if you're talking about the original E7. |

| It sounds like this is a really good anime! I'm gonna try watching it sometime. Also, I didn't even know there was a sequel to it? Wow, I guess you learn something new everyday. |
| Eureka Seven is one of my favorite animes. The cast of characters is diverse, the world is fascinating, and the plot gets really really good half way through. This is all complemented by a really great soundtrack, that totally fits with the vibe this series has. It also has amazing animation, not only just good for 2005, it has better animation then I've seen in any anime for the past couple years (can't believe some people rave about SnK's animation, ES puts it to shame) |
