Eureka Seven

[Onizuka23]

Damn the OP music is choppy, and the animation sucks. Whats with the animators.... I downloaded the full mp3 and it was nice...

I am still at EP 28..... Eureka a coralian.... Not that its any surprise. So how did Renton take the news? I guess his love for her would break the barrier.

I must know, What the shit is up with the numbers in the corner that are always counting?

[Cataulin]

It tells you the time in japan since E7 airs at 7am.

Or atleast thats what I was getting.

[hintalove]

The clock is there for people watching TV before going to school/work, kinda nifty if you ask me. I just want to know why it got ugly all of a sudden.

I'm a little worried that Talho is going to take over the position of Gekko-State asshole out of obligation to Holland or something. I thought her little outburst was very Hollandesque and not in character for her, but maybe with the shit hitting the fan and all Talho has lost her down to earthness

The new ED is probably my favorite of all the shows I'm watching. It just flows really well for me, and I think the song just kinda embodys the show, kinda like the first OP.

Spoiler!!

Eureka is gonna get blown up but then she is replaced by a clone.

Renton cries about his daddy and then the mecha grow wings and the human race is destroyed.

The movie to end the series will be called End of Eureka. Totally badass!!

[derrio]

Yea.....

>_>

I'm a bit confused about the Adrock Thurston timeline.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 29 AND PREVIOUS...

He claims that Corelians are sentient beings and the military investigates it. A certain Corelian seems to be killing off people so the military decides to destroy all Corelians which Adrock is opposed to. He proves their sentient beings via Eureka.

So at what point is he declared a hero by the military if he obviously opposed it, and Gekkostate also does, seeing how they're following in his footsteps.

At some point the military also seems to come into possession of Eureka. This also explains why she was able to meld with the earth and get all pink...

anyway, any thoughts?

[derrio]

Well they're just now getting down to the roots of Adrocks big plan, but I think what happened is they either misinterpreted his original idea, or they're taking advantage of it to wipe out something that's hurting the army's assets.

I'd have to take more time on a post to make more sense.

[derrio]

Holland finds out about the Ageha plan! Yay!

And Talho cuts her hair and dons a skinsuit! Yay!

Gidget strips for Moondoggie! Yay! ... wait, that didn't happen.

[frumplstlskn]

I'm caught up, yay!

[Cataulin]

And Talho cuts her hair and dons a skinsuit! Yay!

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I prefered the ole Talho.

[frumplstlskn]

As long as it isn't as bad as Eureka's haircut I'll take it. I liked Ray(rey?) ;_;

I think if she didnt have those viens she'd be pretty cute.

[newleaf]

Talho's haircut looks fine... it's that ugly ass suit that's a problem. It's like the animation crew just got lazy and said "Screw it! Let's just leave it white."

[hintalove]

She was a spy right? Spies don't wear fancy jump suits. It's all about efficiency with spies.



...


Think about how easy that thing is to get out of

[newleaf]

She wasn't a spy. Even if she were, wouldn't she be in a snazzy ninja/black outfit? Or like umm... knowing her she'd probably follow Holland's example and go with a thong and war paint.

[hintalove]

Thong and war paint!

[Cataulin]

mmmmmmmm Bouncy.........

[mrharvest]

I found it slightly incongruous they had decided to leave the long cut of Renton's grandfather in the documentary. That could have been much less obvious.

And is Anemone another Coralian? Maybe, or maybe she isn't. Her multiple personality problems seem to imply she's not exactly like Eureka, perhaps she's just a copy of sorts. I'm also interested how Renton's sister will factor into all of this. She seems to be the key to most of the back story.

[Lynk Stryfe]

One thing that occurred to me, while watching: Why is his grandfather's hand scalded/scarred pink?


I could postulate a couple things (to do with Coralians, Adrock and so on), but right now, I'm playing SRWAlpha, and I'm too interested in that.

[newleaf]

@mrharvest
I assumed she was some kind of Eureka copy. Like you said, she seems to be a tad messed in the head, which would indicate that she isn't quite as "perfect" as Eureka seems to be.

There's not really much to say on Renton's sister. What do we know about her? She left home, became involved with Holland at some point, and then buggered off for who knows what reasons. Holland still seems to be a tad miffed about whatever that reason was, and Talho too for that matter.

@Lynk
I never noticed his hand was scalded/scarred. o.o

[mrharvest]

It slightly bothers me that the narrative supposes Eureka had learned virtually nothing of what it is to be a human before she met Renton. Of course there are explanations: she wasn't interested in it before, Holland and everyone else treated her as a non-person where as Renton acted like she was a normal girl and so on.

Renton's sister had the Amita drive in one of the early episodes iirc, and it displayed the word Eureka when she hugged Renton good bye, much before Eureka was found. Or am I just imagining things?

Maybe it's pointless to speculate though. It'll all be revealed in its due time and the real beef is the social relations of the characters anyway.

[newleaf]

Maybe it's pointless to speculate though.

But it's oh-so-fun.

Like, what if Adrock is still alive. Why? Let's say he went into hiding for two reasons. Firstly, the obvious reason, which is to hide from the military. And secondly, to protect his children, and allow them to live "normal" lives. So now that Mr. Thurston has disappeared, the military decide to cover it up by saying he is dead. Then the next logical conclusion would be that Renton's sis somehow stumbled upon their father, and they're cookin' up something nifty.

I love my far fetched speculation.

How about one involving Renton's sis? Let's say she betrayed GekkoState/Holland by joining the military in their cause. It'd explain Holland's mistrust (and constant/random beating) of Renton.

Or they could just go for the ol' daddy-is-actually-the-bad-guy thing. And then at the crucial moment, Renton would say something like he doesn't care about doing the right thing if it means letting Eureka die.

BTW, I did say speculation. Please don't post RAW spoilers without a warning.

Anyways, you're right... E7 is more about the drama than anything else. I just like thinking about hypotheticals.

[mrharvest]

I was thinking something more on the lines of
Holland loved Renton's sister
She wanted to prove Adrock's theory and went to the Coralian side
That bore Eureka and Anemone

I think Adrock is dead but I don't think it has been said Renton's sister is dead, just that she went off. Plus, this way we could get that love slightly incestuous undercurrent in the story.
