It's that they're just haphazardly using the characters like that which bothers us so damn much.

What a horrible ending, really.
Isn't the TRAPAR like the breath of the Scub Coral? How can it damage Human-Coralian children? It doesn't make sense! They shat all over the concepts of family and integration that were the core of E7. Not to mention that poor Renton and Eureka can't get a happy ending even after saving the world. They completely shafted Fleur and all the other characters in favor of Ao's family. The activation of her Third Engine was glossed over, even if it was such a big deal in previous episodes. A wasted plot thread, one of many. Truth was such a ridicolous villain that the only good thing he did was erasing himself from the story, literally. But then he comes back as an Archetype for no reason at all. I want to point a giant Quartz Gun to this series and erase it from existence.

This series just sucked after episode 3 as a standalone series. (I never cared about any E7 lagacies). But the fact that it should have been a sequel really killed it.
Reading the comments here I guess it's not even worth wasting time in watching the last 2 episodes of it. So, may I ask what happened to Naru, and why did she sided with Truth? And Fleur, has she been truly shafted too in the end?

I wasn't expecting jack s**t from this entire series until I watched everything, I did, and some of the only things about it were just some priceless scenes, some good fights, and seeing Renton and Eureka again. That's all from me. But it still feels empty for me with this series.
And maybe I do understand of what Bones was trying to do here, but I must be still not getting it by choice since the ending left me with a WTF!? All that and Ao ends up back in Okinawa in this "third universe" despite the fact that there's a chance no one will remember him, and he doesn't get a chance to spend life with the family he's searched for since the beginning. Renton is awesome, but I'm just bashing my head on the table when he's okay letting his kid go for the second time, every parent would hold onto their child especially if they have been separating from their offspring for a reason and finally have reunited again, with every intention of not letting them go again. And I'm supposed to accept that now that this whole thing never existed so Renton and Eureka can have Ao and her sister again with a new slate in their own universe. And their son Ao is just an anomoly in a third universe? I'm already accepting it it's just this whole thing was just feels pointless. I almost forgot that there is that scene where Ao went in saved Eureka from going through that accidental trip. That was very cool. Several Plotholes still run around my head, and some of the characters, all the things they did, totally wiped away in a matter of second. Naru...*sighs* I'm glad she was out of the way, I never gave even gave two cents when she did the things she did, and she was supposed to be the "heroine", when antagonistic, then switched sides and then flip floped again and atttempted to take Truth's power for herself only to flop so bad, now after a little time change, she's back to her sick self and still delusional. And Truth.....I'll never EVER EVER THINK ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT TRUTH. All that crap and I'm supposed to accept that he's an archtype after the crap he's pulled? Uh uh, it doesn't roll like that in my viewpoint. He ends up as in archtype in the Nirvash Neo was it called? Darn it! GET THAT S**T OUTTA HERE! And as for relationship, man I feel bad for a lot of people expecting some relationship between Ao and one of the female character to happen. The ending just shot that out of the sky and then shot up more of the remains when they reached the ground. What really got me is the fact that they never backed up what happened to the fates of the rest of the cast in the previous Eureka Seven. The thing about sequels is that you have to at least mention and show the viewers what became of the people of the previous story, protagonist and antagonist, all the people that we have seen on this visual journey. They didn't do NONE of it, except Eureka and Renton. So we to assume that they are all right Holland and Talho is already enjoying their life with their newborn kid for all we know for one instance. Why bring them up and not even bring up a freaking flashback for what happened to them after those events. It's a hot mess, that's all I know for sure. I'm just giving this series at least a 5/10. I didn't give a detailed review on it. But that's what this series is getting from me. I enjoyed it a little bit, and that was it, but not enough to get a higher rating.

I'm hoping we get one of those what went wrong in production spiels like we sometimes get when a studio knows they fucked up huge and somehow I'm sure BONES knows they botched this completely and utterly. |

I'm seriously so worried about mecha right now its not even funny. I have nothing against trying to bring it up to date a bit with popular trends but can the shows please PLEASE start making some damn sense again instead of obviously never getting past the concept stage with their tropes. Like for all the flack Fam of the silver wing got for not living up to its predecessor and having "moeblob heroines" at least the plot made sense and the characters were developed normally. Thats at least meeting basic standards. |

One thing that gets me is, I'm just having a hard time trying to define what this show was "about."
Was it about a boy finding his mother? Ok, he found her. And now she's gone forever. And nothing about his journey or their encounter seems to have changed him, so how can it matter? It may have been Ao's background motivation for his actions, but that's really all you can say about it. Was it about a boy trying to fit in on his island while fighting prejudice and hatred from those around him? Certainly seemed that way at first, but that concept got tossed as soon as Ao boarded GB. Was it about a boy saving the world? Ok, which world? There were so many alternate histories here, keeping track of them all was a chore; especially when any of them could just instantly be erased or brought into being by the quartz gun. For that matter, given the function of the gun, I'm not sure what it even means in this series to "save" the world. No, that can't be what it was about. So maybe it was about him finding a new family with GB and his Pied Piper teammates, and sharing this world with them? These final episodes sure gave that sense, from his words to Elena about how he wanted to be with them, to Fleur's saying she thought they were a family in the finale. But we barely got any meaningful interactions between them during the whole show. Most of their time spent together was routinely battling Secrets, rinse and repeat. And now, of course, they might not even remember Ao anymore, so the "family" theme was completely pointless and didn't amount to anything. And that's kind of the problem here. Nothing really amounted to anything. Not the relationships, not the politics, not the numerous little plot threads that were drawn up only to be left whipping in the wind (what ever happened with theEND? I can't even remember), not the Goldilocks girls, not the concept of GB being hell for these child pilots, etc. Nothing was really developed conclusively, or given relevance beyond its own existence, and so it was all robbed of any meaning. A big bag of nothing, that's how I'd describe it. |

Thanks i remind that now and that was cool Yeah , after that it was blown away i remember hating truth the first time i saw it and especially when he took people appaerence At this point i was only looking the series for dogfights and that's all The Bleu generation is awful , naru is kinda cool in the beginning and get awful when she start her terrorist act , the father of fleur , awful gendo-cool wannabe I mean , if the series stayed at ostracisation and the hero trying to beat those secret and get people love him it would be really cool and... ...Deja-vu but better than what i saw. At least it's not a 52 episodes tv series.

And no, it doesn't suddenly mean that everything that happened in the first series somehow means nothing. Quote:

It's really something to be enjoyed on an intellectual level rather than an emotional level (although I still think there was plenty of emotional depth to it). I guess that fundamental difference just didn't work with some people. Quote:
