Just because you were annoyed with him didn't mean he was a bad character. Not every story has to be about perfect strong people. |

From a shipping standpoint, probably the only one that made me squee out of all the first episodes. Those AoXNaru moments are just golden. XD
And for once, I'm actually happy with not remembering much of E7 apart from small tidbits and its movie version. As such, my expectations isn't nearly as high as some people here.

/shrug And, I won't bother going into how sad it was to see Eureka regress as a person to serve as the damsel in distress for Renton, because that'd be going off-topic and this show deserves better than constant back and forths concerning the first series. My fault. I probably shouldn't have referenced Renton at all.

You can't fake the authenticity that comes with age-appropriate seiyuu. It's rarely done and you lose some polish, but there's no faking what Adachi Naoko did in Moribito, or Hatakeyama Kosuke did in Hourou Musuko. Kudos to BONES for going that route.

Well I just saw it, and found it pretty enjoyable. As with the original, I have no idea what's going on, but I'm good with that. I'm hoping once again the story will all come together in the end. Some moments really felt like the first series, too, especially all those seventh swells - that's what they were called, right? And seeing the scub again, the trapar waves, etc. So much good nostalgia.
I don't hate the ending as much as everyone seems to either. And yes, Ao and Naru are quite cute together. Welcome to the confusion those of us who followed the information released since the show's announcement have felt and still do feel I sure don't remember any Earth countries in the old E7.

This episode was wonderful, I'm really pleased. It somehow fixed pacing issues that E7 (and Xam'd) had in their first episodes. I hope them to fix the rushed ending issue too. |

I havent read anything on this topic so far, but the questions i have right now are-
Where has the scub coral continents/floating landmass gone? (this is where the entire human race was dwelling throughout the 1st series) Who are the kids on the final DVD cover of the original series? who is manipulating the scub coral to come back to life so early? Where is Eureka and Renton?? Where is the Gekko and crew? Why is Ao- the apparent child of Eureka and Renton, parentless? I am however pleased they told us the date when its set. the first series is set in an alternative 2005, and this is set in the year 2025

Just watched the episode and here my three golden points that will make me follow it til the end whatever it happen:
Ok, joking aside, I really liked it. It gives me E7 first season vibes, but it does not either. Settings are similar but quite different. I don't know how to explain it in other way than one word: nostalgia. Anyways not being a fan of the first E7 I'm not bothered by having an entire new cast, even if seeing a grown-up Eureka was nostalgic. And I'm missing a bit the Gekkostate. Hope the new crew will match up. But the thing really I missed is storywriter. Music-wise I'm not still sold. I know I shouldn't say that, but let me say this once. I was afraid that AO would have been Renton replica, so I'm really glad that he is not. Quote:

She gets her moe points by being sick. She's an insurmountable ball and chain for the MC due to this imo. "He can't win an arguement when she's sick." was one of his comments IIRC.
He needs exposure to more females his age. Next episode with the other female introductions can't come too soon for me. The character that I like best based on design was Yuna from the other manga. Quote:
