| as a movie, this lacks detail explanations and i notice a lot of reuse footage from the TV the ending shows 2 planets, is one of them is Earth and another is Neverland? this part just not clear enough... btw the good things are Dominic gets to act cool, everybody has no time to emo, mini Nirvash and mini TheEND are cute :) |
| The best way to enjoy this film is by not trying to think that it's the same as the tv series. It is not. In the classic tradition of Macross Do you Remember Love, it's a completely alternate vision, in which the characters might be the same, but the story is completely different. The are some plotholes, and I can't help but thinking that the producers could have made the backstory more streamlined (seems that everyone want's to beat Evangelion in making the backstory as cryptic and unintelligible as possible) and easier to understand. Nevertheless, I think they did a good job in making it fit into a 2 hour movie. The crew of the Gekko as semi villanous bastards kind of works for me. I liked this Eureka who is more in touch with her love for Renton. Its refreshing to see an anime were the characters don;t beat around the bush with their feelings and express things that they feel. (love the long hair Eureka too). Is it as good as the tv series? Nope. But these kinds of films resulting from tv series rarely are and I've seem much worse (Escaflowne, Rahxephon etc). |

| I watched this, finally! It's been on my harddisk for a long time lulz. Perhaps because the new series is out, AO, I want to try this one. My thoughts? I don't get this movie. At all. I don't understand what happens to Anemone & Dominic. I don't understand...Too many. Despite not following the original plot, so I expect new storyline, still this movie failed to tell the story very well. And I don't even feel the emotions of every characters. At all. (again) None. So, the production failed. Probably, the only thing I like from the movie is..Sato Naoki's music. Just brilliant. |

| This movie was really bad. The OP pretty much mentioned anything worth mentioning about this movie. They definitely milked the romance between Renton and Eureka too much. The scene of Hap and Stoner getting killed was pretty unexpected though, and kudos to Bones for somehow being able to make the whole of Gekkostate unlikeable. It takes real effort to make something as shitty as this. What really confused me before I watched it was the review by CMX on here. This is NOT the prequel to Eureka seveN at all. This just happened to be a retelling of the story (i.e. an alternate universe) that happens to take place before Eureka seveN did. I'd say that AO's doing a better job of covering up and replacing this failure, but it hasn't yet been confirmed whether AO really does take place before Eureka seveN, or if it's something else entirely (I have my suspicions, but this isn't the place for them). |

| eureka with a long hair is the prettiest of them all... |
 |
| Oh gawd. This was just...just...just...not good at all! What was the purpose? |
 |
| Wow they re-used so many events it could hardly be called a movie. However I did like Renton's change in character he was tougher he could actually punch people. Lol and Hap had his ass handed to him the nirvash just killed him in an instant. Also they could have at least changed the gekko states appearance to make them look more like villians and have Renton actually wear a military style uniform smh. Also Ray and Charles LFOs appeared but apparently they get killed instantly though we don't know if it's them. I feel bad for Renton though now his girl has the typical anime dodo brain girl |

| Didn't stay faithful to any of the characters. You just cannot do that even in a spinoff movie story. I can't be interested in characters that I fell in love with from a series and then in another form of media they are completely different. It just doesn't work like that. You can't slap "Eureka Seven" on something and expect it to be amazing just on name alone. This movie was an absolute failure in every sense of the word. |
| Watched the series over 3 days last week. 9/10. Watched this movie just now. 5/10. Rushed and confusing. Need to wash this shitty taste out of my mouth by re-watching some of the series a bit. The emotional power in E7's romance between Renton and Eureka lied greatly in build-up. The characters would struggle and stumble, and when they needed it most they would bond magnificently. I lost count of how many times I teared up during the series. For the movie, it was all forced and rushed, and I felt nothing. Boooooooooooo! |

This isn't Clannad, you can't just throw romance in viewers faces and expect great things from it... |

Came here a year later to say that I rated this a 1/10. It is literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Considering that I rated the series a 10, it astounds me. |
| I actually feel that this is around the best you can do in making a movie about Eureka 7. What made the original anime so strong despite its flaws was how well it was able to establish a theme and generate a story around it. The anime covered all it needed to cover and i personally didn't see how a movie would be able to further that. The writers decided to create a similar but different world that has some fundamental differences. At the center of this movie is the question of fate and the question of myth. Accepting or denying fate is what drove people to their extreme actions. Myths are what describes us and inform us about what is right and wrong. The use of myth and the creation of myth were some very interesting ideas that were floating around in this movie. The original anime was more about Renton learning what it means to be a man and what love really is. I'll have to watch both the TV series and the movie again to provide a more proper analysis. |
| Well this sure was different to what I expected from this movie, this seems to be in an alternate universe or something like that and it sure makes the whole anime feel and act different. It's in a way a lot more interesting how their relation was formed but on the other hand the strong band that was present in the original tv series doesn't seem to be there anymore or more than it's too new of a bond they share. It's not that I dislike this but I have rather mixed feelings about this, I can't directly place this movie as it does feel like a part of the Eureka franchise but on the other hand it doesn't feel anything like it, the atmosphere feels also quite different from the main series. That said the movie was still pretty interesting in general and I do wonder what the second season will offer me after this but all in all it was pretty good! |

| Rebuild of Eureka Seven? Anemone is so old. It was rushed and felt forced. The action was pretty good though. There really wasn't much reason to make this "part" of Eureka Seven though... I think they just used that to boost popularity/hype. It could easily have been a completely separate thing, didn't really have much in common with the series. |
  |
| The movie was pretty confusing but it still had some cool parts and I enjoyed seeing some characters again. |
 |
| an interesting movie, was basically made to include all of the themes of the original series into a 2 hour movie, sacrificing established characters roles in order to accomplish that. I enjoyed seeing parallels and how they had a different take on the Eureka 7 story but still tried to hit major plot devices of the original. maybe i wasnt as committed or devoted to eureka seven as others but I had no problem with the liberties they took changing up aspects of the show. Some changes were good and some were not. They cleaned it up renten and eurekas dialog and made it more believable. Eurkea actually having a personality and Renten stood up for himself and had a purpose. I felt that made the show a little less corny. The reusing of scenes from the series, just copying and pasting them, was a little annoying for me they clearly didnt have a great budget because they took some animation cuts in slower parts of the movie. They tried to make Hap a little too unlikable and i didnt really like the motive of the gekko state let alone how they dropped it all just because talho was pregnant. The end game for fixing their aging problem could have been done in a much more interesting way instead of trying to keep the world hopping narrative of the original series. some of you guys are a little to hard on the movie ha it wasnt great but i dont know why you have such a problem with changing the characters up. their personalities were still the same for the most part just their intentions and goals much different. and if you have a problem with the movie being confusing and a little convoluted i hate to tell you but the main series wasnt much better in that regard haha. |

| The movie seems to be a prequel to the TV series. If you think of Eureka and Renton, and all the characters for that matter, as they are in the TV series, as reincarnations then it makes sense. The movie shows how the world was destroyed before the corelians emerged. |

Shio_ said: It's Eureka and Renton's names in katakana.Just watched it since I'm a diehard E7 fan. One word to describe it would be rushed. Nothing made sense and a lot of the mythos in the story weren't explained well, or at all. The plot holes kept forcing me to make connections with the original E7, but that was worse because the setting was different, just made it all confusing. The ending was really stupid as well, it wasn't as dramatic as it should have been, it was just Renton and Eureka in a OP'd mecha attacking the Image, or whatever. One thing that I still don't get is: the neverland alternate dimension that the kids were looking for, what did the carved moon say? Nanashi's fansubs didn't include it. I'd also like to think of this as a prequel, 8000 years before the setting of E7, and that the characters were all just re-incarnated under different settings. MyLastBreath said: I think the scenes with the moon were glimpses of the tv series universe (what the Gekko crew of this movie believed to be Neverland)Manwolf said: not a new dimension but a prequel. You kind of have to pay attention but this happens in the 21st century right before humans left the earth (which is talked upon in the series) and show how the coralians (now called the image) first came to earth (which is really the planet the main series takes place on) But this would of been way better as an separate series that identifies it as a prequel as not to confuse people. I read that it is not at all a continuation for the series, it was just ment to be an alternate version of what could have happened to renton in eureka, but they really messed up on the movie because why would they add the ring of rainbows and the heart engraved into the moon, if it was just suppose to be a different story? It makes no sense really. |

| I thought this movie was pretty good! I enjoyed seeing the differences in the story and characters compared to the original series. The animation was on point and I quite enjoyed seeing this franchise in widescreen HD animation. The story told throughout was intriguing and unfolded in true confusing Eureka Seven nature. The usage of the characters we know in different "roles" was an interesting choice. It allowed us to see the characters we love in a different light, but I'm not quite sure if it was worth it. It might have given the movie more of a chance in fan's eyes by simply having new settings and new characters to tell this story. Another thing that disappointed me a bit was the music. I felt like the movie did not live up to the excellent music of the original series. I think that the musical influence of the original series did not shine through here at all. We didn't really get any musical references or any stand out tracks here beside the ED, which made me feel like the movie lost out on a bit of the "soul" of the series. As seems to be the case for all Eureka Seven media, the storytelling was done in a kind of confusing manner. This in of itself is not a bad thing at all, and for the most part I wasn't really that confused with the movie. It relied a little bit on some infodumps which probably could have been avoided. One thing that IS confusing me though are the ties to the original series. Going into the movie, I knew that there was some form of debate regarding what this movie is. Is it a different universe, or is it a prequel to the original series. It works as both, oddly enough. It works as a prequel because of showing the origins of Nirvash and The End, as well as showing the beginning of the creation of the myth that the Novak lineage believes in, in the original series. However, at a few points in the series, we see the end of the series, with the engraved moon and Grandpa Thurston and the kids. Can it really be a prequel if we the movie directly interact with elements from the end of the series? Perhaps it is a prequel, and these connections could be explained away simply by saying it was some sort of weird time travel. Nevertheless, we don't officially know the status of what this movie is. I think this is to its detriment because a lot of fans dismiss this movie, despite it being decidedly pretty good. A strength of the film that I believe surpasses the original series is its portrayal of Eureka. In my review of the original anime, I said that Eureka was more of a bland character. She was "blank slate," intentional or not. Not in this movie. In this film, we see Eureka with more of a personality; she is more outspoken, and I can more easily believe how Renton has impacted her because of it. Not to say that more stoic characters are not able to do this, but in this instance for me it did. The great animators at BONES returned for this film, and we got a bunch of great looking Itano Circus shots. Of course, i really really enjoyed those moments. Honestly, I liked the lore and the story told in this film, and I honestly would have minded this to be turned into a (short) full series. Overall, this film trimmed a little of the narrative fat from the original series, while providing a well-animated more streamlined story that unfortunately doesn't provide some of the flair of the OG anime. Despite that, I had a pretty good time with this movie. |
| Alright, plot-wise, despite how nonsensical and seemingly 'complex' the plot and storyline are, I manage to follow it, because after all. It's somewhat similar to the original story but much much more, 'fake'. This movie is trying to recreate the magical atmosphere and characters of the original TV series, but obviously, its format as a 2 hours movie cannot fully re-capture the true beauty of Eureka Seven, even when put under an entirely different alternate timeline with a differing story. Let's put it this way... Despite this movie being 2 hours long, it took me 2 whole days to watch it, I despise this abomination, one might say, you can consider this entire thing as a parody to the original instead of a faithful recreation of Eureka Seven. There're some good changes that aren't particularly noticeable so there are literally only 2 major great things in this movie... 1. The 3 annoying brats aren't present in 99% of this movie's entire runtime... 2. Seeing Eureka with her hair fully grown out and full down near the end of the movie. That's it. In short, this movie isn't good or enjoyable to watch. Although if you're looking for a different set of experience, or is only intending to watch this to checkmark the entire Eureka Seven series as watched, then go for it. |
