Eureka 7





Gooday my good people, hope you guys are doing well.

Today I would like to review an anime that is very near and dear to me called Eureka 7.
It is one of the very first anime I ever watched and is one of the reasons I choose to fall in love with anime and manga in general and before I get into this review I highly recommend it to all anime lovers out there or even first time watchers of Japanese anime who really want to see what all the fuss is all about.






 Plot
Okay one more thing before I get into this.
 The anime follows some kid named Renton Thurston who thinks his whole purpose for living is joining the renegade group Gekkostate. Now there is one thing you should know about Renton before you watch the show, he is the most fucking annoying main character in the whole of anime and I’ve been watching anime for a long time now and I can tell you Renton takes the cake. There is just something about him that will crawl under your skin and make you want to personally beat the living hell out of him, but at the same time when someone else does it you kind of feel sorry for the kid. It really just boils down to a love hate relationship.

So the group is led by his idol Holland Novak, a legendary lifter.

                                            His wish the come true when COINCIDENTLY…

 “A large mechanical robot, called the Nirvash typeZERO, and Eureka, its pilot and a member of Gekkostate, crash into Renton's room. Renton's grandfather orders him to deliver a special part to the Nirvash called the "Amita Drive", which releases the immense power dormant within the typeZERO called the "Seven Swell Phenomenon". Afterwards, Renton is invited to join Gekkostate, where he quickly discovers that the behind-the-scenes life of Gekkostate is hardly as glamorous or as interesting as printed in the glossy pages of their magazine, ray=out. Only one thing makes it all worthwhile for him: the presence of Eureka, the mysterious pilot of the Nirvash. Renton, Eureka, and the Gekkostate embark on an adventure that will shape their future as well as the worlds. “       


Now the plot itself is really good and I think the story and anime as a whole was well put together by the good people at Bones Studio.









But I’ve got a few issues 



1.       Renton ( I have explained why if you have been reading at all)

2.       There are characters who are there that have little or no character development, normally I would be cool with it except in this show its most of the main characters. It’s like they expect us just to know where these people come from e.g (Gidget, Moondoggie, Woz … ect)                             hell I even had a hard time trying to figure where Eureka came from

3.       Most things are just confusing and left unexplained if it’s not the Scub Coral its depression I just don’t want to give too much away, and if it’s not those it’s the Trapar waves and lifting, Human-form Coralians or even the seven swell. The advice I can give you is try not to make sense of everything in this anime just accept.


Next is the Children, okay in this anime Renton is not the most irritating charters Eureka’s children are. They are so annoying that I was so disappointed they did not die during the course of this anime it would have been a much better story without them and frankly maybe Renton would’ve gotten some ass earlier on in the series.



Conclusion

Like I said earlier on I really do recommend this anime to basically everyone who can watch it, the season is a bit lengthy but once you get through the first few episode you will be hooked and keep coming back for more.

As far as romantic Action genre in anime I stand to be corrected but his is the best, hell this has the best romance I’ve ever seen in any anime and once again I stand to be corrected.
I mean this I an environmentally friendly kind of anime and humanitarian (keep in mind when something has those two words in on it, it’s usually on a Garbage disposal bin or it is shit) but it does it so effortlessly and keeping the story cool at the same time.

I really enjoyed the music, it changed for different genres; from pop to house to electro, rock and even classic it was just spectacular I even enjoyed the opening and endings of the different seasons ( I guess you can call them that ) in the one season overall.

Anime picture is really good for its time and you won’t feel tired by the lack of artwork.

Rating 8.5/10
