Show Summary

  • Ended
Renton Thurston is your ordinary 14-year-old boy, who has grown bored of his current life in his hometown. He is the son of the acclaimed hero of the military, and every day, he has no greater dream than to look up to his idol, Holland, who is skilled in the hoverboard sport referred to as "REFFing" ("Lifting," in the English dub). He also believes that he would one day join the LFO rebel group Gekkostate, and surf the skies.

As he tries to master the art and skill of REFfing, Renton has nothing more than his dreams and his hopes, which his grandfather mechanic dismisses as something useless. But one day, Renton's life changes, when a REFfing LFO mecha crashes into his house, out of which emerges the most beautiful girl pilot he's ever seen. Now, Renton finds himself in the middle of a war in which he absolutely has no desire to be involved in, having the ride of his life with his newfound love, his number one idol, and his hero father.

    the shows good but the game isn't. (You see, when you automatically buy every piece of anime merchandise out there, the developer has no incentive to actally put any effort into its games, because you'll buy it regardless. Eureka 7 isnt as aggressively horrible as some anime games, but but doesnt strive to be anything other than a forgettable piece of licensed c**p, either. the game is simplistic LFO combat, but throws insome equally uninspired lift racing, and some awfil onfoot sagments)- magazine's said they gave the game a 5.25, at least it aint the show thats a 5.25moreless

    When I first heard about Eureka Seven, it sounded pretty good to me, though I didn't really have the time to watch it. But I finally decided to do just that, and I was captivated in the first few episodes.

    About a 14-year-old boy named Renton Thurston who loves to REF, and wants something interesting to happen in his life, he gets just that. A unique LFO (Light Finding Object) called the Nirvash Type Zero lands right by his house, and inside it is a girl he falls for immediately: Eureka. After that, everything starts happening at once; Renton joins the REFing group, Gekko State, he learns more about Eureka and what's happening in the world, and a certain man named Dewey is planning something sinister... And who exactly the girl, Anemone, who seems so similar to Eureka?

    A fantastic show for sure, with plenty of action, romance, sci-fi, and some comedy to spice it up. The only problem I had with it was that it's way too short. But other than that, Eureka Seven is an awesome show that really hooked me... 'Nuf said.moreless

    When i first saw a couple episodes of it on cartoon network, it didnt seem like a show i would want to watch. One of my friends said i should watch it. It took me awhile, but i finally did. When i watched it, i didnt want to stop. It added even more suspense to the show.To me, it ended to soon. I wish they could have continued the show, but for what they did, they did a superb job. I will probably watch again after i watch other anime. It has alot of comedy in it, along with alot of action. It has some romance. Just a little bit of everything for everyone.moreless

    A great animation... With a plot well situated. Very positive message of love, self confidence, teamwork and acceptance of changes in life. Like Evangelion the conception of mecha in this anime goes beyond a simple machine controlled by human will, so it conects the soul of the controller to the "robot"... Fast animation during the battles gives it a sense of realism and slow shots in the right moments maintain the balance... Very philosophic and self centered adpated to almost any kind of personality throug all the different characters in it. Do not make me start with the sound track. I really love it, and i recomend it pletly, very advaced to its time eureka seven makes you think, realice your position, your value and the infinite possibilities of your acting. just great.moreless

    Well as you can guess this is another one of my personal favorate animes, I love this show it's just perfect.

    Other than the animation which was smooth and beautiful, as well as the mecha which as usual looked great and felt like they could really work. What really made this show great for me was the fact that this was a character driven show. Those types of shows always appeal to me the most and sometimes that is what anime is best known for in my opinion, the plot to me in stories most of the time served as a guideline by it's nature. Yes there is a plot and it does develop in this show which is no doubt intreging but as I said this show isn't so much concerned about that but on the characters and what they do within it that counts.

    The characters to me are unforgetable due to the amount of depth that can unfold (similar to the show "Lost" or even Allen Moore's "Watchman")they have which made them feel and act all the more human to me. There is sort of a multiracial cast and a multi focus element which reminds me a little of the film "Crash" and the character development of all of them is beievable and enduring similar to a Howard Hawks film. There are three favorate couples and groups of characters of mine, they all become more of a man and woman as they progress.

    Renton and Eureka: Both of them are great Renton is one of my favorate anime characters of all time because he's an ordinary person in extrodinary circumstances. He's not a sterotypical pre teen he acts and feels like a real person young, brash, but also mature and determined to get whatever he seeks whether it's becoming more or love itself which I could see a little of myself in at his age. Eureka has a sweet childlike but slightly mature persona. I just really loved those moments with her from funny ones where she one time put on lots of makeup for Renton which didn't turn out too well. But most of all the warm emotional moments with the two like when she grows wings, she runs away because she's afraid of what Renton might think of her but he goes after her and loves her all the same.

    Domonic and Anamime: Domonic at first seems like he's could be a coward in a way, like he might not be strong enough spirtually to stand up against the corrupt autority he serves but due to his love for Annenome and what he descovers as time goes on which disallusions his eariler views, he starts to become his own man and gain a strength within to save the one he loves. Anamime is a mind controlled slave toward Dewey will, but starts to gain emotions her feelings for Domiac which override it make her start to become a woman. With these two it's a reationship that has that classic romantic tention and suspense. We know both are right for one another but were just waiting for both of them to somehow break free from what is deviding them and get together.

    Holland and Taiho: These two have a deep history,love and of course they do become even more. Holland is sort of similar toward myself rough, brash, determined, doesn't really like to show his emotions except mainly to Taiho whom he confides with sometimes only when he's ready. Taiho is of course his significant other whom has a wildside to her but a warmth and understanding as well.

    As well as a villan that you don't love to hate you just plain hate. Dewey Novak I really hated this guys guts, from his constant God complex, narcism, egotistical, ruthlessness that knows no bounds, but most of all he's just plain insane he's got problems. It had some underlying messages as well on anti racism, self evolution, but also a deep phylosophy on love and friendship.

    Well I've said enough, Eurka Seven isn't just an anime it's a saga of love.moreless
