I think you're focusing too much on his short and reasonable whining moments since he had a lot to deal with which he did later man up to. Look at it this way. At least AO isn't turning out as bad as the other sequel to a series - Aquarion Evol.

This show just keeps getting more and more boring to me. I'm feeling so ambivalent towards it.
I'm sorry, this cast is a bore. The fights are an even bigger bore. and the plot feels so irrelevant. This has nothing to do with being a good sequel anymore, it's not even a good show on its own to me.

Anyways, I think E7 Ao's writer literally saw Guilty Crown and said, "I can do a better rip-off of Evangelion than that." I have to say, he's succeeding so far.

Not terribly much to say this week other than the scene at the shopping center was pretty amusing and so far I find Ivica the most interesting character in the show, but not really interesting enough to spice up what is still an incredibly slow moving plot for a 24 episode series. Really just feels like I should be more attached to the cast and the plot at this point, but it's been pretty strictly monster of the week and teaser fare so far and pretty dull fighting at that. I've been pretty patient with the show and trying to give it the benefit of the doubt as it follows it's EVA like formula along what I've resigned myself to acknowledging will be a fairly uneventful first half (not the first time I've seen this) but lately in like the past few weeks it's been just kind of like "ehhh" every time I go to watch. It's like something I watch to get onto the next episode while I wait patiently for the plot to kick in.
Oh well guess we'll see what the next episode brings. I really do hope it's more than just vague talk about power plays between the U.S and Generation Bleu and a monster that shows up and has to be blown to bits with special guest appearance by The Truth. Something with a little more intensity and consequences..... |

I'm aware of that, but I was under the impression that the general consensus was also that nobody liked Genesis. Plus, I love how the show handled its characters. Okay, the main three and the villains are crap, but everyone else is fine.

Eh, Genesis had its problems but it was at least the original so there was nothing really to compare it to. Evol has some nice Mecha combat, so it at least as that even if it failed as a love story for the main pair. Shame the Evol retcons ruined Genesis for new and old fans that watched Genesis. The only characters it handled well were the side characters and Zessica before they decided she must suffer for no reason at all.
Anyone, this is supposed to be about AO. Lets just drop this here. |

Looks like the anime isn't a commercial success at all. Despite the first volume being priced cheaper and only including the first two volumes, it still only managed to sell about 4k with BD and DVD combined. With the price going up by 2000yen for the remaining volumes, it is likely that sales will drop even further from next month onwards. Definitely nowhere near the success that BONES was looking for.

Episode 10 , what a joke.... the whole setting are bad , boring , it's not even more interesting to watch. Dropped.
First Aquarion Evol , now Eureka 7 , if the producers don't know what to make , just make the new FMP season or a reboot already..... |

Well I can't blame people who don't like this show given the apparent slow development so far. One thing I would like to say in regards to secrets. To me, these are the only links we have to the first anime that confirm everything we knew from that anime happened already and thus indicate this is truly a sequel. If you look at secrets as symbolic representations of events that occurred throughout psalms of planets then a lot of what Truth says relating to secrets begins to make sense. Based on what I've seen so far and I could be wrong, but I think secrets are nothing more than manifestations of universal forces that tend to keep order in check. If scub really are coming from the world we know from psalms of planets, then trying to exist in this universe simultaneously might be the reason these manifestations take the form of events that occurred in that same universe the scub are coming from and seek out the active quartz which might serve to connect the scub as a single entity to eliminate the scub. Just a thought for you guys to think about and nothing more
