5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the Greatest Anime Series Ever, July 11, 2009

If you have never seen Eureka 7 you need to see it, period. If you are a fan of Evangelion, you need to see it, period. If you love crazy mecha action, you need to see it, period.

I'm not kidding. This show has me thinking . . . . dare I even say it. . . that it is even better than my beloved Evangelion. I never thought there would be anything that could ever come along that would make me even suffer a fleeting thought like that but with Eureka 7, my mind has been flooded with that realization. . . . Eureka 7 may be the greatest anime series of all-time.

Now it has to be said, there are a lot of similarities between Eva and Eureka 7, and you can tell that BONES was highly influenced when creating this story by the classic Angel series. How only the "chosen" can pilot the Nirvash (just like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd child in Eva) and there seems at least at the beginning to be another alien race that wants to destroy mankind (like the Angels in Eva) and that the subject of rebirth for mankind (the Third Impact). But Eureka 7 seems to run with these themes and tie them all together with one of the most heart-wrenching love stories I have ever seen. Pure brilliance.

And I have to say that I have watched the series both with the Eng subtitles and with the Eng dub and I have to say the English translation on the dub is great and perhaps delivers an even more moving performance from the voice actors.

I have never teared up more at an anime. Weird. What always got to me was during the English dub at the end of every episode Renton and Eureka would both say in unison "To be continued. . ." but in a way and tone that reflects how the episode ends emotionally. At the end of many episodes they sounded happy, chipper, excited, relieved, worried. . . it really let you know how the characters were feeling.

But what really got to me was the end of episode 47 I think. They had such a sound of hopelessness in their voices like everything was done. . . and then at the end of episode 49 . . . there was only Renton uttering those words. I have never been more emotionally invested in the characters of an anime series in my life and it may be because they reel you in with 50 episodes!

Buy this show.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Eureka 7" rocks, but..., February 18, 2010

I've got to say, you'll get your money's worth with this series. At 50 episodes AND an OVA, the show has some longevity and will take up some space in your collection. It is worth it.

Continuing from the first season, the action remains top notch. However, in early episodes of volume 2, you'll notice that the animation quality has gone down. This is corrected about episode 30 or so, so no big hit there.

Most of the character relationships, backgrounds, and the back-story are finally filled in for us. And there are some genuine tear-jerker moments to be had. The wife and I enjoyed the heck out of this show, but it isn't quite up there with a tightly wound, explosive series like "Cowboy Bebop".

Eureka 7's only downfall is it's generally lax pacing and repetitious soundtrack. Characters (specifically Eureka) have a tendency to fold in on themselves and not develop for LONG stretches of time, or at worst act uncharacteristically. The last few episodes may confuse you. But, there's nothing too terribly awful about this entire series, save for the English dub of Eureka's kids. Were they meant to be that annoying?

Taken for what it is, Eureka 7 carries some great libertarian, anti-state messages, runs on a free spirit, and generally does its own thing. The wife and I enjoyed marathoning this, but my suggestion now would be to take it slow and rewatch episodes as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Anime, November 1, 2010

I have watched a lot of anime titles with mecha and casts of characters where a boy and a girl fall in love but this by far is the best. Mecha battles are fast paced, frantic, and like watching a ballet of graceful dancers (armed with guns and blades) dance through the skies (blowing up other mechs and slicing them to pieces). The art is well drawn and detailed, no corners skipped, if there was any reused footage I never picked up on it. Now, I am a guy and even though the mecha battles thrill me, the relationship between Renton and Eureka still pulls at my heart. Watching these characters go through trails and good times, watching their relationship grow and how it effects everything around them and how important it is to the developement of the story just makes me smile warmly and appreciate the love of my life even more. Renton is a very admirable character for his devotion to Eureka, and Eureka as well for the her devotion to others and Renton. A very positive Anime series.

The DVD collection is 50 episodes and I had no problems with watching them as the video is very clear and crisp and the english dubbing very well done. The discs feature drawings of the characters of the show and are well done so they don't look like cheap grey painted copies. Make sure to get volume one and two so you can see the series in its entirety. I haven't checked out all the special features, but there is art form the show and commentaries so the makers of DVD's put some effort into making this a very good DVD set. I hope this helps, and I am sure people will enjoy this series.
