Preliminary (22/24 eps)
As a big fan of Eureka 7 I was looking forward to AO as soon as it was announced. Of course I was anxious and waiting about a month to be let down. Not saying AO is bad, its not as good as the original Eureka 7. If you're a fan it is still a must watch, but don't expect too much, and I'll tell you why in this review.

Story: 7/10
Eureka's son, Ao Fukai, is living in Okinawa. Little does he know he is Eureka's real son. He finds out a lot about himself as the series introduces scub coral and Secrets. After learning about these he gets sucked into chaos, fighting with his IFO, or Nirvash, together they uncover the mysteries of why he is there on Earth rather than where the original Eureka 7 took place many years in the future.

Art: 9/10
The art was beautiful in a sense that we get to see IFO fights clearly. Backgrounds are very unique. The same character designs but with different people. The art was probably the strong point in AO.

Sound: 7/10
The Ost's didn't really stand out. It sounded a bit recycled. Nonetheless, Flow does it again with BravBlue as the 2nd opening. Probably the only thing I cared for listening to.

Enjoyment & Overall: 7/10
It was good. Not great, not terrible, just good. Although many of the fans of Eureka 7 were expecting AO to be magnificent and even better than the original . It was not. But I still enjoyed AO, good mech fights. But lacking a love story. Really wished for a love story.. To sum things up, this series is a must watch for those Eureka 7 fans, just don't be expecting anything in particular.
