Let's start with a brief summary of the predecessor, my verdict: "Jizztastic" i was like 8 when i watched it. On YTV canada, Gundam Seed (wait 4 E7) then Eureka Seven. It just simply made my week. Why was it so good, I can summarize it with just one word: CREATIVITY. The scenario, the plot, the design, culture, feel, the environment, it was just so "different" but interesting and exciting. It made me want to be apart of that awesome place. There is also CHARACTER i can name almost every single eureka seven character (even supporting or only shown in 1 episode). MUSIC = still makes me listen to TRANCE (form of techno used in eureka seven) over HOUSE any day. Even if you scraped out the romance part of it, it would still be a great show. The romance made it better :D.
Now, for eureka seven ao. First of all the only reason people are still watching the show untill ep 21 is because they want to see the rebirth of the OG characters THATS ALL. But Why? Well, first of all or at least a big chunk of the characters are full of shit (excuse my language). They are as creative as grey mush, there is no sympathy for them, expect for Christopher Blanc (RESPECT). Secondly, ENVIRONMENT, earth, japan, USA, 3rd party company... SNORE, ZZZ, c'mon bones no one wants a story based on boring old earth, we live in it for christ sake. What happened to that mixture of "urban, futuristic yet very natural" feel :'( . Theres useless drama between the characters which as i mentioned before are boring as **** so no one cares. Sound and Art is amazing no doubts about that BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE SAME STYLE AS E7. The story is alright, good progression, and keeps you asking questions BECAUSE THEY ARE RELATED TO THE OG CHARACTERS.
Everything that eureka seven ao changed made it suck, like characters and environment. But when it comes to Sound, Art, Story its great because they played it safe and STUCK TO THE PROGRAM. But without character development and a fresh new environment (like in OG E7) it just made the series suck. The ONLY reason i still watch this show is because it has EUREKA SEVEN plastered on it, and I really want to see eureka, renton, nirvash, etc.., etc.. Besides that everyone else (New E7 AO characters) can burn in a molting pool of lava, I would laugh more than cry. The only thing that can really put its series on the right direction is a really damn good ending (with all OG characters) or a season 2 where they can fix their shit, and put themselves toeghter. And mech design, was soo much better in E7 (my opinion :D)
In conclusion WTF happened.
