Eureka Seven: Psalms of Planets

[chobits1217]

Please, write intellegently. Your posts have consistently bordered on crossing this rule


Well, if you watched the eps and paid attention to the dialogue, you'd know. The above posts also allude to her problem.


:( sorry about my bad grammar...i was way too excited after watching 35 and wanted to share my joy with all the fans of E7 XD.

i did get what was wrong with Eureka, but just like Masa said, "Someon shut that bitch up!"
wasn't expecting to see her whine like the typical "i am innocent, i don't wanna kill," cry baby, i always thought she is a stronger girl, but she has turned into a weak girl listens to whatever others say. we can tell Rento has grown mature, but Eureka is becoming more like an annoying "i don't wanna fight" crying girl.







or maybe all girls in love are like that?:D

[UberSuperHACKER]

She is Dealin with emotions she did not have before... like Before She killed peopel becuase she felt nothing... then after she got coated in That nasty hard Skank Skurve and Got all veiny She got more emotional......

Heh its kinda Funny when she stresses tho looks like she is Extra excited becuase her VIENS are all Poppy like they should be throbin.. but its not even really Veins I guess.. Just Skank Coating Foldy Skin thingies

[EpyonNext]

7:00 - New footage for the first few seconds of the OP... just Eureka falling as opposed to the old one with just footage of the clouds. Wonder if that means anything?


I'd also like to point out that the sky in the background was significantly brighter then in previous openings. Almost as if the sun was rising.

you are absolutely right! I can't believe I missed that :o

at first i thought that if it started with showing her falling it was hinting towards her facing some kind of despair in the near future. But the fact that it is significantly brighter in the ep 35 OP suggests just the opposite, that things are going to get better.

[UberSuperHACKER]

Um I think that is Reading a bit much into the opening... There are alot of things that could have cuased that gamma shift..... could have even been caused by the network broadcasting it.

ON a side note anyone see the English dubed version?

The voices are Freakin Terrible and do not fit the characters at all...

Is it just me or are the ONLY good English subs of any anime from the stuf done by Hayao Miyazaki?

I cannot decide if its just lack of good american voice acting talent or just piss poor casting by whoever is in charge of creating the english dubs.

The more I think about it I really think it might just be lack of american voice tallent, since the Hayao Miyazaki dubs are good and they all have decent actors backing them.

Voice acting is hard and I guess there just isn;t enough money behind subbing of anime to get talent that fits the bill.

[Eru]

Well you also have to put in the fact that we speak english and notice the 'bad' voice acting alot more then if we watch a sub. Since most of us don't speak japanese we don't really know a bad voice acting from a good one... well i don't anyway :p

but if you have someone who watches the first 15 english episodes then goes to the original version, they would say the same thing about the original version

[EpyonNext]

Dunno, Rah Xephon had an excellent Dub casting, as did Those Who Hunt Elves(but I thinks thats more in the translation).

Well since this show has proved time and time again to be pretty deep with its subtleties and minor details and that the beginning of the OP was intentionaly different at the same time that the 'brightening' in the OP occurred I don't think it's reading too much into it at all. Besides, some actual thinking once and awhile never hurt, you should try it :p

I haven't had the (dis)pleasure of seeing the dub yet, so maybe you could provide some examples of which dub voices are horrible and don't fit the characters? ...or you can stick to your incredibly general and dimly voiced broad opinions...

edit to below: whatever. i decided to call you out and i'm sticking to it. At least I got you to further your explanation on why the english VAs weren't up to your hopes.

[UberSuperHACKER]

Well I dont know exactly why you decided to flame me all I was saying is that the opening WAS intentionally different BUT the gamma difference between the two scenes could have been caused by alot of things. Just becuase the scene was brighter "Reading" what that suggests as you did was a bit much.....gives me flashbacks to when I was an art Major.

The simplest explanation for it would be that Renton and Eureka are coming Closer together... so they wanted you to see it clearer.

OF course instead of trying to back up what you say ... you took a shot at my intelligence...asking me to try out thinking. I spent 3 years of my life listening to abunch of jackasses making works of art then explaining them using otherworldy EXTREEMLY obtuse explanations like yours...and if that is what you call thinking then no thanks ... I will stick to logic.

This whole rep system is stupid and only breeds comments like the one you made, chalk full of self righteous intent. I didn't even give you crap.... all I asked was if it was a bit much?

As for the voices all of them are pritty much bad... the worst by far was Matthieu's voice... he sounds like a whiny 16 year old. I guess the voices for Eureka and Renton are not totally terrible... but they are pritty sickening.

In Regard to the "we dont speak japanese" thing I actually speak some Japanese, just not enough to deal with the speed that most of the anime goes at.... I am gettin the hang of it and I figure another year of study and I wont need subs too often anymore.

The Toughest thing in understanding all of the japanese in these shows is the multiple "levels of politness" which is basically the worlds most organized system of slang; even without a full understanding of the language dont look at the screen and only from their voices try to tell what is going on......with the original voices you can...with the dubs its always like they are not in the situation in the anime. In the english dubs it really seems like they are just reading from pieces of paper.....and the only reason why you know what is going on is the understanding of the language.... and sound effects.

The reason why I claimed it was lack of voice talent is becuase in america cartoons and voice overs are just something done by some people....In japan anime creation and voice acting is akin to hollywood. I just think they have higher standards over there for voice acting is all. Think of all the great american cartoons... all of them are voiced with Film actors.

[Yukimura]

What great american cartoons were voiced by film actors? Do you mean animated movies or TV cartoons? I'm not trying to poke at you i'm just curious.

To the point, Hollands VA is pretty good, at least from my experiance listening to his work. As one who prefers his own language when available, the main problem I have with any dub would be voices I can't agree to the charachter having. I.e. Yugi's VA playing Kyo in Samurai Deeper Kyo....i've done this rant before, nvm. But anyway, many of the VA's for E7 seem to be from GitS: SAC, guess its the same company or something. Most of the voices were tolerable, well Eureka made me sad, and Stoner sounded weird, but Holland was okay, as I realized that his japanese VA sounds a little older than I think Holland should sound. Matthew sounded alright to me, however, I can usually let the new voices overlay the old japanese VA's after just a short time no matter how bad the dub is. Enter Naruto, i'm getting used to that shitty Rock Lee week by week. Maybe it's a curse.

[UberSuperHACKER]

I dunno I mean Truthfully I cannot think of any TV series that are american cartoons that even stand up to the Japanese counterparts.....infact most of the cartoons we have in america are forign.

I was thinkin more like Disney/Pixar type movie creations.

It from DVD dual audio rip

As for ep 36:we finaly get info on Diane and how holland and she met
And Eureka uses......makeup.




ps.highlight-> Be ready for nightmares

[Lucifus]

Awesome, I've been waiting for this ep. Gotta say, Eureka needed some makeup.

[Yukimura]

Yikes!, Why would Gidget trust an inexperianced non-human to put on her own makeup the first time and not royally screw it up. Whatever, good slowdown ep, with all the recent action this ep did a good job of revealing more backstory and setting up for the next plot advancement. Diane was nothing like I expected, but I hadn't really thought about her at all. She probobly went off to see the Coralians in a cave somewhere and could very possibly show up in the future, perhaps at this 'Great Wall' that was spoken of.

And only one more ep needed for E7 DVD #2, I hope it comes out soon, I really need the space.

[Munsu]

Just to make it known, there are some scripts for Eureka seveN that some jackass leaked. In no shape or form will discussion from unreleased Nanashi episodes will be allowed here. You've been warned.

[Kraco]

The whole makeup thing was hardly surprising, so in that sense Lucifus was right. And that also explains why Gidget left her to do it herself: They just wanted the freakshow scene in the script.

Better than the makeup in this episode was in my opinion, however, Holland's encouragement for Renton, and of course the history with Diane, although I have to agree with Yukimura. I thought Diane had a much more prominent character and role.

Well, they seem to have decided to advance things between Eureka and Renton at a really slow pace. But I guess I'm ok with that; it suits their characters.



Just to make it known, there are some scripts for Eureka seveN that some jackass leaked.

Leave it to our own Agent Bauer to reveal this bit of information first...

[masamuneehs]

36
7:00 - Sticking with the slightly modded, brighter intro i see.
7:03 - Orange looks like (two? )awesome fucking battleship(s). Bout time Dewey got some better firepower :cool:
7:04 - Norbu cracks me up. He's like a teenager
7:05 - love the Renton and Eureka noticing the 'scars'. Nice contrast. And the scratch remover going over Eureka's face in the reflection. Those are the little things I love in this show.
7:08 - fucking women's logic...
7:09 - LOL at Young Holland's voice! 12? He doesn't even look much different in that flashback.
7:12 - Don't know if it was intentional or not but I like the 'picture frame/mirror' pause.
The razor was awesome too.
7:13 - Adrock Thurston ftw!
End A part thought: I haven't enjoyed an episode of e7 like this for a long time! I'm loving the reflection imagery. Great choice in episode title too.

Start B part hope - Just keep it going!
7:15 - Eureka taking notes :p
7:18-19: More imagery than you can shake a stick at and good dialogue to boot!
7:20-21 - Feel that atmosphere change? The kids even started crying!
7:24 - Upgraded LFOs, battleship(s?). Didn't the typeEND get an upgrade too? I'm hoping they make swiss cheese out of the Gekko-go next time.

The ED goes soo well with this episode! It's like they had this (and maybe Talho's hair cutting) in mind when they made the ED

Dewey getting them riled up in the next episode preview.

Seriously awesome episode. Lots of backstory that was most necessary, great dialogue, some of the best use of themes I've seen in awhile, Dewey regrouping.

[Death13a]

It intresting how Thurston family don't look in any way like superstarts but just regular people.

[seanos]

edit : apologies - didn't see a previous post (prev post was link, not discussion on unreleased episodes).

[Kraco]

I have to say most of the fancy theories at the beginning of this episode escaped me. They were suddenly talking about dimensions all the way up to 10, and then the smelly priest added in some religious speech, and the scientist suddenly understood everything. I wonder just what that whole scene actually hoped to achieve...

I can't help but wonder how long Dominic will be able to cope with the situation. Does anybody remember when things last time went the way he wanted? Dewey must be just a sadist to keep the dude around, when everything goes against his wishes and he's in a constant ethical and moral disagreement with the current events. And he doesn't seem to be in command of anything anymore, not since the children soldiers appeared. For a long time I thought Dominic just endured everything in order to take care of Anemone, but after this episode he would need to be a real saint to do that any longer. If he even got a chance anymore, anyway.

[Ryllharu]

I think it's pretty clear that at some point, Dominic will betray Dewey. I've been thinking that ever since Dewey stopped caring about Anemone's well being. He certainly doesn't care about her now. He showed infinitely more pride in those creepy little girls than he ever has in Anemone, she's just the means to fulfill the end he wants. Dominic will either betray Dewey in order to save Anemone, or after she's dead.

[Yukimura]

Link removed (at Nanashi's request)
I know you didn't mean bad Yuk, but wouldn't you not exactly appreciate someone 'promoting' what is as close to an act of fansub plagiarism as possible?

I give you this with several addendums that must be taken into account before you download it. From what I have gleaned over the net, this torrent (specifically the episodes not really Nanashi releases) was created from early translations of Nanashi scripts that somehow got out over Usenet (I thnk it was Usenet) some group/person took the sub files and overlayed them on l33t-raws releases of the later episodes of E7 and this torrent was born.

Issues:
First, the translations are a draft not Nanashi's final products, meaning there might be errors here and there that would have been caught by their QC process later on.

Second, the timing for eveything was just guesswork by whoever did this, so it probobly won't synch up always. Especially the previews for the next episode, I've hear they don't play.

Third, I have read that at least one of the episodes is corrupt, so your SooL if you do DL it.

In conclusion, if you really have to see this series ASAP, then download the batch file above, I for one have never been that appreciative of high quality ove rnot terrible in fansubs, but out of sheer laziness I choose not to bother and just wait for the official releases from Nanashi.

PS: I've only been actively partaking of the fansub comunity for about two years, but I think this is the first true bootleg fansub i've ever seen. I never thought it was possible to bootleg fansubs, but I guess I was wrong.

EDIT: MAJOR MY BAD, I didn't know that they wanted distribution stopped if possible, I don't really like what was done either, but since I didn't glean any anger from the Nanashi staff on the forums (plenty of peeps were though) I figured they were just ignoring it. Sorry!!!!!

[NeoBear]

I know im on the late boat on this one but im having trouble finding working links for the first 1-10 eps. all the ones on baka-updates I click and the ones in this post are dead only the most recent ones work I have never seen it and figured id give it a shot. any idea wear I can get started?

[Apraxhren]

@neobear:
You can download 1-13 from the nanashi tracker with this torrent (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/4beccc2935de8406519ca11eb6c6e249c93d0c1f.torrent)

Eureka7 OST 1 and 2, plus 3rd and 4th OPs/EDs (http://www.boxtorrents.com/details.php?id=129090)

Also has some pretty cool pics in it and it's nice that it has the additional OPs and EDs.

As far as I know the third OST isn't out yet, but can anyone confirm that?

[NeoBear]

masamuneehs = Pimp sauce thanks bro =)

God damn it this is one of the beat ost's ever EVER!!!11!!lolBBQcoPT3R!!!

[masamuneehs]

7:03 - Stoner is a pretty funny name for a dedicated historian... Guy seems smarter than most of my professors
7:04 - Finally a good glimpse of the Orange. Looks like a massive harpoon type projectile. I'd always assumed it was just an energy ray, but a harpoon fits the theme of man versus nature much better...
7:07 - What. The. Fuck. Is this Limit of Life theory exactly? :confused: They keep referring to it like we should know... It seems to have no actual scientific ground to stand on...
7:08 - 10 dimensions huh? Looks like String Theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory#Extra_dimensions) to me. 7th dimension seems to be thought, the first 3 account for physical space (action), and 4th is traditionally time. This would be M theory since Norbu talks about Vodareks existing beyond the 10th dimension (M theory holds 10 or 11 dimensions, Bosonic holds 26)
Based off this it seems Despair is like the phenomenon in Ghost in the Shell (and Brain Scratch episode in Bebop) of humans advancing to the dimension of purely thoughts through electronic means.
7:10 - goddamn the antibody Scabs are nasty... And I still can't get over the similarities to Festums from Dead Aggressor. Perfect holes appearing suddenly in physical space, directed at humans, seems to be manifestation of reaching 'the Limit of Life'
7:11 - Confirmed: Even Anemone has a conscience it seems.
End Part A thought - a very deep episode. I like.

Part B hope - Let the new military LFOs stand up to the Gekko-go, please.

7:14 - New & improved LFOs + typeZero look sweet. But i fear a DBZesque fireball duel between the 7 Swell and the Valhalla Swell as the climax of this show...
7:16 - Looked up the word 'Ageha', and in English it means Swallowtail butterfly (Anemone's mech is very similar to that)
7:17 - Dewey is one smart man. He should work for the White House
7:18 - not to mention an excellent public speaker... Love that pause and grave tone.
7:23 - Norbu explains why Eureka has been acting like such a pansy recently. It irks me much less now.
7:24 - And Eureka drops a bomb to end the episode...

Preview - Adrock heavy episode imminent

Overall: An episode relying on the strong themes and undertones of this series, this one still comes off excellently as we get the merging of lots of different (and previously underdeveloped) ideas and themes running throughout the show. Overall a most necessary episode.

[Apraxhren]

Eureka 7 - Episode 38 by Nanashi. (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/c1fbfbfa7a03da023ce7656f7108093815e7ec2f.torrent) Enjoy.

[Yukimura]

So...Talho...pregnant...What??? I wasn't even sure Holland was actuallt doing her...
Anyway, I like Stoner's idea, but it could easily be turned around. Eureka being a Coralian that looks like a human could be percieved as the greatest danger yet. Imagine the shock of finding out your kid could be dating a 'monster' in disguise. Can't wait to see how Dewey handles being King of the World either.

[KoKo37]

Episode 38 was a pretty good espisode, very funny especially the "Doing her" parts, and it's gonna be interesting to see how Dewey handles being King.


So...Talho...pregnant...What??? I wasn't even sure Holland was actuallt doing her...
Episode 34 at 7:22 she already said she was pregnant.

[Kraco]

Aye. Some parts of the first half reminded me of School Rumble with all the misunderstandings. Very good stuff indeed.

With Dewey already positioning himself as the leader of a military dictatorship, the means the Gekko-Go crew have at their disposal are becoming limited. They just need to play with all the cards available for them. The great public is already manipulated to hate corallians, so it doesn't matter if some take Eureka as the greatest danger yet. Although it seems the main issue in the next publication should be to reveal the corallian attacks are caused by Dewey's provocations.

[Ryllharu]

Pretty much everything that can be said about this eps has been said, the misunderstandings were great, and Matthiew took the brunt of Holland's rage, which is funny because Moondoggie was the one who down that train of thought first.

Not that it wasn't obvious from the context (and you can look it up in any english dictionary too) when the council guy says "You'll kill us and shoulder the onus?" 'onus' is from the Latin for burden. I just thought it was a fitting and interesting word choice.

[Kraco]

Matthiew took the brunt of Holland's rage, which is funny because Moondoggie was the one who down that train of thought first.

That's probably because Moondoggie is such a pretty boy that Holland would have felt bad about beating him to pulp.

[masamuneehs]

Stoner is an awesome character. Most 'narrator only' types I can't stand but he just has this relatable and understandable attitude. You really get a feel for his thoughts.

Oh the great differences between the sexes... While it was a bit over-exaggerated I liked seeing Matthieu and Doggie's lines of thought and how they differed with the girls. Stoner, of course, was the only one who actually had a handle on the situation.

Great contrast too between the 'girls' camp and 'guys' camps and then Talho/Holland's more mature and real situation.


Pretty much everything that can be said about this eps has been said
I disagree.

The flashback gives us a little more info on the Amita and Compac Drives. From what Norbu said and what we know about Despair it is clear that a soul can go into a Compac Drive. In the flashback Adrock pulls the Amita Drive off of the Nirvash's Compac during a Seven Swell. When Eureka wakes up the Swell is over and Adrock has simply vanished without a trace.

From this I get the sense that the Seven Swell and the large Coralians (Great Wall included) are kinds of 'gates'. The Seven Swell especially seems to be some kind of special gate for souls, connecting them to a higher level of 'the other dimensions' (remember Norbu's words in the last episode) that Coralians almost assuredly come from... The only time the Seven Swell can be achieved is when a Coralian and a human, along with a Compac and Amita Drive, interact all together.

From Despair (leaving the body but not the soul) and general LFO stuff we've seen that humans interact on their own with Compac Drives. But the Amita Drive (taking Adrock's body & soul) seems to come from 'the other side of the gate'...

The word Amita in any kind of usable context outside of the series is found in Buddhism. One of five celestial buddhas in Buddhism the Amitabha is a Buddha that people, upon dying, can pray to to take them to 'the Pure Land', basically helping the souls about to be reincarnated in the (undesirable) cycle of rebirth to be born into higher dharmas (destinies/forms of reincarnation). Basically the Amitabha is like a guide towards Nirvana, the ultimate state of being.

The Amitabha was once a man who undertook 48 vows in order to create 'the Pure Land' as a place where souls could go to seek a higher state of rebirth and aid them towards Nirvana. The most famous of these vows is the 18th, vowing that those who call upon Amitabha as few as ten times will enter the Pure Land.

The name 'Amitabha' is a combination of Amita ('boundless/infinite') and Abha ('light/splendor'). It can also be called Amitayuh (he whose life is boundless)

More about this can be found on Wikipedia.

And yes, I think this is an excellent angle from which to approach the future themes of Eureka7 from.

Once again, Stoner is the man.
...but not as cool as Dewey... Make that King Dewey :cool:

LOL at that Sage using the term 'onus' in an actual sentence. He deserved a bullet just for that.

edit to below - I wholly disagree with your opinion. It seems all the small things I so enjoy about this show are nothing to you at all, which makes me a little sad. It's not always supposed to be whizbang animation, catchy tunes and feel-good attitudes.

[NeoBear]

Well I kind of agree I mean im still watching this show but to tell you the truth there are very few episodes wear I find myself enjoying this show I don’t think it needed to be 50 eps this show has had way to many pity parties. Renton has been depressed Eureka has been depressed Holland has been depressed Talho has been depressed people who im not even going to bother to name have been depressed. Its too much there have been very few moments wear I have had a good feeling watching this show like the time when Renton suggested they go and ref in that competition I though that would be an opportunity to see something cool but nope. This show has amazing animation quality considering the length, and a soundtrack that im listening to atm but there hasn’t been anything else groundbreaking. The first two episodes wear the best ones the rest has just been stuff I have had to watch to get to the end.

[masamuneehs]

A new group has released episode 40 of Eureka Seven.

HOWEVER this group is using Nanashi-Fansubs scripts, not creating their own

They are calling themselves "Seraph Fansubs" :mad:and they're releases are based off the leaked scripts from Nanashi.

They've decided to just start at episode 40, cutting right in line.

I personally refuse to even link to them and would ask others to kindly wait for Nanashi's releases, since they put alot of time and effort into their work and have brought us everything about this great anime so far.

[Bread-sama]

Very well said :cool: .

[Apraxhren]

Nanashi perfected Episode 39 (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/6007adfbbc361d20f9b2205316607b2450b94dcf.torrent)a nd Episode 40 (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/3bad5628adb24f67ca3943f3b8480b66526bbddc.torrent).

[Kraco]

Man, it was jolly good to watch some Eureka 7 action after such a long pause. Good thing it was two episodes back to back. That made the experience after the long wait more rewarding, certainly. Especially seeing how the first of these two didn't actually advance the plot at all, even though I liked the episode a lot. Now, I'm no soccer fan in reality (because Finland sucks in soccer), but it was a really funny and good spirited episode nevertheless.

Well, the second of these two of course contained lots and lots of stuff, but I have to confess I didn't quite know what was going on. Maybe I had just totally forgotten who the being is they travelled to meet, but the truth is I had no idea. Well, that didn't make the episode any less interesting.

But damn they should attach tracking devices to those kids. They are no end of trouble.

[chobits1217]

i think long time ago ice alchemist mentioned that episode 39 is not that good
so i have always been nervious about the release of 39
well, just watched it, and i thought this episode is pretty pointless
(don't think it matters whether you watch 39 or not, it almost has nothing to do with the plot)

but nevertheless, this is one funny ass episode. it reminds me of Sagara in FMP fumofu (when that fat dude kicked the soccer player), lmao, maybe this is the funniest episode in the entire series.

anyways, yaa!!! soccer is great!!, did nanashi purposely delayed the release for fifa world cup?! lolz

[masamuneehs]

yes, it is a crime that it took me this long to watch the most recent episodes of this show. (39 and 40).

and yes, no long crazy episode dissection this weekend, not enough time.

39:
Filler? I dunno, but it felt like alot of useless crap except for again providing encouragement to the Gekko-go members and the bit at the end with Dewey's press conference.

Probably the only episode of e7 i'd say was a waste of my time.

40.
New intro. I'm not crazy about the song. I mean, gospel music in anime? The new opening is just too much, imo, could be more subtle and still be cool. Some nice animation though. The new ED, on the other hand, is an absolute work of art.

Norbu is one smelly prophet.

I liked the bit with Dominic and Dewey, god that man is such a bastard it's not even funny.

I, like Krac, was sorta lost at first because it had been so long since i'd seen this show. I had to remind myself what exactly they were doing in the city. What I don't understand exactly is how Norbu actually managed to fuse with the Compac Drive... Oh well, whatever.

Alice in Wonderland references, some nice plot advancement, and an excellent showdown coming up, plus a beautiful ED. Gosh I love this show.

[Apraxhren]

Nanashi released episode 41 (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/f53326636742f2dc12bc8d98f81785de5ef01e22.torrent)

[seanos]

Wow, that was one cool episode :)
Did a nice background of Norbu & Sakuya, showed Eureka's conviction too.
Next episode looks to be quite action packed.

[EpyonNext]

I have a firm belief that the next episode will totally own.

[Kraco]

A fine episode. And a mushy one. But when appropriate, I like traditional, romantic and tender love stories, and that enhances my experience of Eureka 7. That's lucky for me.

The next episode could be interesting. It's still hard to see even with the preview if it's hard action or not, but either way, EpyonNext could be right.

Episode 42 by Nanashi (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/31648d20eb6ab5e2b81ccfdbe08c744516fe02d9.torrent)

[Yukimura]

Very intriguing, did that look like Japan inside the 'Zone' to anyone else? And what could Dewey be planning now...he always seems to have a plan. I guess 3 years in jail give you lots of time to make plans.

[Jadugar]

Just watched episodes 41 and 42. I was kind of surprised the direction this show has taken.

The way I understand it is that the planet is not producing enough females so the scrab coral is doing that job to keep all the males on the planet happy or is it something deeper than that.

Just kidding.

Come on Nanashi, pick up the pace. I am dying to know where all this is going. I cannot take it anymore.

[Kraco]

Well, soon Dewey will need to make multiple plans how to avoid court martial... Considering how many casualties he's causing on his own side. They say shitty officers don't get the bullet from the other side, but from behind, as well.

But certainly a very interesting episode. I didn't quite expect what they found at the very end. Well, not that I'd exactly know what they found. The episodes in this series are worth waiting for, to say the least.

[LaZie]

They found the Giant Mysterious Tower from Xenogears :p

[FrogKing]

Very intriguing, did that look like Japan inside the 'Zone' to anyone else? And what could Dewey be planning now...he always seems to have a plan. I guess 3 years in jail give you lots of time to make plans.

I definately thought that looked like Japan in the end...wonder if that'll play into the new world! Great episode, great series and it just keeps on developing. Lovin' it. Now if Nanashi just subbed and released just a little bit faster...

[masamuneehs]

It's time for another installment of 'goddamn that guy talks alot about one episode of anime!'. Tis true, but ya know, I really enjoy watching e7 that way. This is probably the best show that I am watching right now.

episode 41 folks

New OP- I just don't like it. I mean, you change the whole sound, the whole mood of your intro, 180. From 3 sorta carefree, fast and loose poprock songs to an overbearing, overdramatic rendition of Amazing Grace... That's a case of tinkering something with something that wasn't broke and just fucking it up to smithereens.

Sakura - the name of the song. I mean, the girl's voice is pretty damn good. But why the title in Japanese and the word in English? Too many awkward pauses. The fact that it's over some kind of remix of a song that will probably play at my funeral is not cool. Some songs are not meant to be used in J-pop.

Oh, but i must admit the animation in the new OP is absolutely ass spanking until you cry it's so beautiful. Incredible animation after the standard slow pan of the protagonists gazing into a sunset/rise.

7:03 - Maurice finally establishes himself as a elder to the two other orphans. Finally.
7:05 - Started drawing vague parallels between this show and Mushishi
7:09 -
- That girl spooked me!
- If Sakuya didn't age, then Eureka won't either?
7:10 - Something doesn't jive. If Sakuya was inside the Great Wall for 40 years shouldn't Eureka, having been part of the planet before, been in contact with her? The Great Wall keeping all transmission inside it is a strange thing...

A part end: I like the background story of Norbu and Sakuya alot. Sort of wish he'd been introduced to the show earlier, but oh well...

7:14 - I mean, i didn't think they called it "the great wall" for no good reason...:rolleyes:
7:16 - and of all the people to represent the Vodarek, the most spirtually aware faction of men, they elect a smelly, lazy teenager. I hope he got a big white hat.
7:18 - but the dude reacts really well when his girlfriend turns into a giant water plant. I mean, I would have probably freaked out and started screaming like a small dog in a blender. Oh wait, that's exactly what he did?
- what i don't understand is why Norbu and Sakuya didn't make it through the Zone? Because they needed an LFO?
7:22 - BOOM! It's in the air!
7:23 - So, as a comprimise Sakuya gave her longer hair to cover up the 'proof of what Eureka went through'. So makeup is bad, but radical hairstyling isn't?

Final Thoughts: Mostly background, and I guess Renton and Eureka needed some support (though I'd always seen Holland and Talho as the sort of 'this is how love wors' figure for the two, then Norbu comes busting in.

The ED fits alot better, and I love the photos used. The song itself is awesome. The verses are great and the chorus is cheerful (almost too much so), but a really good way to round out an episode.

I can't wait for Dewey to start tearing shit up.

[EpyonNext]

This episode rocked face....HARD. :D

I love it when I'm right.

[masamuneehs]

oh, i bought "The Golden Bough", the book Holland and Dewey both have. Will read it eventually. It seems to be a critical analysis of religion, most particularly focusing on how myths, popular culture, human nature and religion are all intertwined to become one phenomenon.

the episode
still not feeling the new OP....
7:04 - "True Promised Land" - perhaps another reference to the Pure Land, the promised land in Mahayana Buddhism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahayana). (Recall my long poster earlier about Amita Drive and the Buddha Amithaba). Norbu's role as 'the monk' really comes in heavy here. Wonder what he's going to have to do to get them into Zone...

- Good god, Doggie is going to fly the most difficult mission they ever had? I know he'll do just fine, since it is an anime, but that fact would make me wanna shit my pants if i was on-board the Gek...

7:06 - Norbu is the name of a famous Buddhist monk. He may also be a reference to a lama/filmmaker. Just Wiki his name and you'll see.

- Dewey Period.

7:08 - Old smelly man and loli. Eww. :p

7:09 - this is the e7 music i enjoy!
End Part A
Hope for part 2: This episode is gearing up to be awesome.

7:12 - Man, the Scab Coralians are evil sons of bitches. Sucks that the Vodarek faith doesn't save them...

7:16 - Norbu we hardly knew thee. Acting all awkward right at the end was sorta funny.

7:18 - The Nirvash moving on its own accord, even against both its drivers... Glad someone understands the urgency of the situation, even if it is the mech

7:19 - I did not expect Holland to go like that...

7:22 - Anemone didn't get through. That's good, she would have caused hell inside... I wonder if Dominic's help is enough to get her through?

- and Dewey retreats... Wonder that they never show him reacting to Holland's craft blowing up, maybe he doesn't even know...

- oh, fuck naw. How did Holland survive that shit? I really bonefied thought he was gone...

7:24 - Awesome.

End thought - I really like the idea of the Earth being inside of another planet. It works on symbolic levels and really fits the theme of the show by putting a nice twist on the oft-used theme of 'the planet being its own being'. I like that the humans have a massive tower going up to space, and the planet has a huge one going down to its 'core'.

It is obviously Earth inside of the planet, but is it just a symbol, something mankind 'brought with them' or is the story more complex than that?

Can't believe they made me think Holland was dead... i should have known better.

[LaZie]

Never believe deaths when inside mechs unless they show their head being severed or body blown to pieces.

[Darknodin]

IT WAS EARTH ALL ALONG!

no really... it looked more like it was only Japan and that its surrounded by towers. maybe the whole planet is earth and Japan was protected from "something" by these towers?
pretty good episode really.

[FrogKing]

^Has the anime ever addressed what exactly happened to Earth and how they got to the planet. I know that the sages mentioned 'not being able to pilot the ship' which I assume they meant some sort of space ship (maybe via a 'wormhole' or dimensional travel) that brought the humans to the planet. Does Earth still exist?

[masamuneehs]

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/7460/earthallalongfq6.th.jpg (http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=earthallalongfq6.jpg)
it really depends on the size of the building they are in, pretty fucking huge since i think it's the core of whatever planet they're on. But from this it looks like it's more than just Japan, and I assume it's a sphere like our own, so the part they entered through is just so that they come down facing "Earth" from that angle

[Darknodin]

You are right.... I thought the pillars delimited the place... but they don't

[EpyonNext]

Anyone notice that Anemone's "eye slits" changed position when she tried to enter the Zone.

They went from going left/right to almost being completely up/down.

[LobsterMagnet]

Crap, Crap, Crap. I've been enjoying Eureka Seven quite a bit but unfortunately my DL of episode 45 is really really screwy. I don't want to skip ahead seeing as how now at the very end each and every episode is becomming increasingly more important. Do any of you happen to have any links where I can get a fresh copy of the fansub? Who ever can help me out I'll be greatly indebted to since I really can't wait to see how the rest of this series pans out.

[chobits1217]

i thought the latest release of eureka seven is episode 42...
u can get that fron Nanashi, the website is here:
http://www.nanashi-fansubs.com/

hmm does that answer ur question??

[LobsterMagnet]

Don't worry someone else helped me solve my problem I'll be able to see episode 45 now. Thanks for the help though. Yesh I'm surprised that this series dosen't have a stronger following. I'm guessing that's because alot of people get turned off by the surfing mechs.

[Yukimura]

Who released 45? Nanashi is on 42 and Seraph (who we're supposedly not to talk about here) is only up to 44 according to their site.

[moondoggie]

eureka seven is now my favriot mecha anime

[Darknodin]

Who released 45? Nanashi is on 42 and Seraph (who we're supposedly not to talk about here) is only up to 44 according to their site.

The unspeakable "S group" released it.

[moondoggie]

sorry am i newb and all so i dont get why seraph is so bad so can someone fill me in the details please.

[Yukimura]

Seraph uses scripts 'stolen' from Nanashi instead of having their own translator, at least since I last checked. There should be some details further back in this thread, such as me being censured for posting a Seraph link.

[Kraco]

Concerning the Nanashi E7 situation, info like this could be found floating around the forums, and hadn't been denied by the staff members (at least yet), so believe it or not using your own instincts:


[the rest of the E7 episodes] all are now in QC stage, all editing, timing, typesetting, etc is finally done, just needs checking and Fixing, etc.

It'll be a batch release of the last few (or so i was informed) so just be patient a little while longer!

Personally, I of course hope it's true. Nothing would be sweeter than to suddenly get the rest of E7 as a batch.

[complich8]

you know, I just started burning off old anime to make some space, and ran across Melody of Oblivion.

Anyone else who's seen Melody sort of get the same vibe from them both? 'cause the more I think about it, the more everything in E7 seems to jibe with Melody's outlook.

It's pretty true, the last 8 are on RC1 and encoded.

However, from what I hear, they are going to stagger the releases because they dont want to rape the seeders bandwith. So we will probably see 1-2 eps a day over the course of a week.

[EinReB23]

I was able to download the complete series, although eps 1 - 36 was subbed by Nanashi and eps 37 - 50 was by Bizarro-Nanashi... although I'm not sure if this group also obtained the "stolen" scripts...

Note: I already dl the series even before I read the GW forums, and yes, I read all the post from the start (kudos to masamuneh's 'blow by blow' account of each episode, I enjoyed reading them as much as watching the eps)

[icealchemist]

spoiler alert: 43-50 from nanashi will be from DVD raws.

[Tsukasa]

Will the rest of the episodes be re-encoded with the dvd raws?

[Jadugar]

Does that mean we have to wait longer for Nanashi to release the next episodes?

Can someone explain?

[LobsterMagnet]

Just finished watch this series and I loved everything but I was a bit confused about the ending. So much stuff happened so quickly and none of it was really explained so if any of you would like to give me something so I could begin to wrap my head around it that would be greatly apprechiated.


WTF what's going what's this about unreleased or stolen episodes? I'm really confused is there some sort of scandel that happened with the subgroup that I'm unaware of? If so how many episodes have been released by the subgroups? Sorry for breaking some kind of taboo I just wanted some answers to a series I thought was through being aired.

[Kraco]

First Yesy released the rest of the Utawarerumono episodes all at once, and now Nanashi got rid of their respective project by releasing the remaining Eureka Seven episodes. Jolly good. I don't know if I'm the only person who waited for this and didn't downloaded the possibly less reputable releases from other sources, but here are the genuine ones, nonetheless, straight from Nanashi:

Episodes 43-50 (Final) - Nanashi (http://bt.nanashi-fansubs.com:2710/torrents/3e44f7a1c40673b58c6f0d45ca9c67db2bcd6180.torrent)

I waited patiently for Nanashi as well.

[masamuneehs]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

*e7 sig and avatar for the day*

[Harima Kenji]

I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow :)
although azureus says that there are no seeds...

'nyways.. I'm happy that I can see how it ends :)

[complich8]

Avoiding spoiling as much as possible, I'll just say ... I expected this series to end in a much worse place than I felt it did. The mood of the mid-40's, 43-45 in particular, had me really not enthusiastic to finish, but ultimately I'm glad I did.

I definitely felt a good sense of closure with this ending. It felt like they wrapped up a lot of the standing issues, and really gave a good sense of approximately what the hell was going on. There's still things unanswered (like ... what the nature of the trapar is, or the details of the "limit of life" phenomenon), but they're peripheral, and really knowing the gory details to that level would have detracted from things a bit.

This show was worth the time to watch it.

[FrogKing]

Thank you Kraco! I can't believe that I can finally watch the end of this series...it's been months since the last release (I may have to watch a few of the previous epsiodes to refresh my memory). I am glad I waited for Nanashi; there were a few times that I almost opened the Ser___ fansubbed versions, but didn't. I will edit post with thoughts after I dl. <runs to open utorrent>

[Arcn3ss]

Most fansubbed/raw versions floating around the internet are missing the final frame, leaving the viewer to ponder the ending. The final frame can be viewed here

Here is the final frame... Its at the bottom of the page of that quoted link source.

[Yukimura]

Wow, chain watching 7 Eureka seveN episodes in hard on the eyes. Anyway, just having the series complete is an immense relief as I'd been waiting for so damn long like the rest of the faithful. It did throw a few twists in at the end which I liked, such as the weird Dewey necklace thing (which was barely explained, though assumptions could easily be made). All in all I liked these last few eps, though I think I've finally hit the point where anime endings are all pretty similar unless they are just leaps and bounds out of the ordinary.

As for the series it had it's ups and it's downs, a lot of angst, great music, good charachters and plenty of good action. The story might have made a little more sense, but some semblance of an explanation can be gleaned if you payed enough attention.

[X-plicit]

I just finished watching episode 50. It was a great ending but I do have one question.


Eureka and Renton still live on the Earth except they're just not home, right?

[complich8]

I think it's probably best to consider it their honeymoon...

(at least, that's how I interpreted it. They've got the same last name now, and granddad said something to the effect of "Renton's the only member of our family who's ever come back to this town" ... meaning they had to be on Earth at some point after the scabpocalypse)

[Yukimura]

I just finished watching episode 50. It was a great ending but I do have one question.


Eureka and Renton still live on the Earth except they're just not home, right?

See Arcness's post above.

Something else I just realized that was kind of odd...Nirvash was a girl?! But it seems to make sense with the was as she/it tended to work better with him around than with just Eureka. Perhaps Nirvash loved Renton too for some unknown reason. theEND definately seemed to care about Anemone as well so it's not to far of a stretch.

[Kraco]

Finally acquired enough time to finish the series. It was a long wait since the last released episodes before these, but certainly time worth waiting, made even more evident by the fact I didn't even need to check the previous episode to remember exactly where the story had been left before the pause.

Some parts nearing the end of the story were quite ominous, like complich8 said, end I honestly didn't dare make too many guesses how this would end. It looks like a pretty happy ending, or almost as happy as it could get considering all the damage. Personally, I think the ending was very suitable.

And from now on Renton and Eureka can always blink those forehead lights to each other in the dark... Very nice.

[X-plicit]

I've got 3 more questions.

1. What's the 1st Summer of Love?

2. How come whenever Eureka and Renton do the Seventh Swell thing Holland always says "No it's not.."

3. O.o Gonzy was a Corallian?

And I'm pretty sure that's all I need to know. Thanks.

[complich8]

The first Summer of Love was when Eureka and Adrock unleashed an uncontrolled Seven Swell phenomenon in what amounts to the middle of a somewhat populated area. Lots of death, lots of other other negative consequences, including the death of Adrock while stopping it.

I think Holland is very much afraid of what might happen if there's a second instance of the Summer of Love catastrophe. His worst fear is that Renton and Eureka are going to hit another seven swell, lose control of it, and everyone's going to die.

And yeah, Gonzy was. Great revelation there, it was kinda hilarious when he opened his eyes, said goodbye, and they all suddenly realized it.

[X-plicit]

So for question number two. The thing Renton and Eureka does when they pull the amita drive isn't the SEventh Swell but just a weaker version?

[LobsterMagnet]

Yeah, now that everyones caught I can finally go about discussing the end of Eureka Seven

Overall I liked the series but some of the revalations in the end came to quickly and without any sort of explanation.

First of all what was up with Dewy having the compac drive embedded in his chest. Seriously what was the point of that. How was he connected to the scurve coral and how would his death some how kill them off.

What the hell was up with the Nirvash's unexplained last minute make over? It really didn't make sense of how it just transformed for no reason? Was it supposed to be some kind of metaphor for Renten finally coming of age?

What happened in the very end. What did Renten acomplish by going to Eureka who was stuck in that wierd plant thing that had something to do with scurve coral.

In the end what did happen did he and Eureka merge with the scurve coral affecting the planets destiny, seriously what was up with the fairy wings the Eureke grew at the last minute. Those never were really justified.

[EpyonNext]

Wow....just wow. Powerfull, entertaining, intense, emotional, and closed well. I dont think I could have asked for more out of an anime. I'm just simply at a loss for words at how awesome the show was.

PS. Ep. 48 was the best.

[Yukimura]

@LobsterMagnet: Here are my personal opinions about your questions

1) The Compac drive in his chest was somehow the trigger for the collars around the necks of Anemone and Eureka. While i'm not sure of the details of how it was to work, the overall intent was to either to stop them from becoming new command clusters to replace the one Dewey destroyed or force them to become a command cluster and send a kill yourself signal to all the Scab.

2) Nirvash, I think, returned to it's original organic form sheding the mechanical components the humans had added on. It was trying to become a new command cluster and thus needed to be in its original organic state to do so.

3) Renton went to Eureka to keep her from becoming the new command cluster, either so as to not lose her or to stop the Dewey 'virus' thing. In the end he got to her and she did not become the new command cluster (the Nirvash did). The flashing lights were their individual wills, Eureka's was fading as she was becoming the Command Cluster, but Renton's will called to her and she was able to separate herself.

As for the wings...she was a Coralian with a Human form, but it's likely that she couldn't hold a fully human form for so long and started reverting to a more Coralian appearance.

[Board of Command]

Some elements felt rushed, like Dewey's compac drive and the collar thing. But all in all, it was a pretty well-done series from start to finish.

[Munsu]

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-04-07/eureka-seven-movie-to-be-announced-in-newtype-mag


The May issue (on sale on April 10) of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine will officially anounce that an Eureka Seven movie has been greenlit for production. Director Tomoki Kyoda (RahXephon movie), character designer Kenichi Yoshida (Overman King Gainer), and special effects director Yasushi Muraki (Ah! My Goddess: The Movie, The Skull Man) will reportedly return to animate with new mechanical designs, as well as a new form of storytelling that differs how the BONES anime studio produced the RahXephon movie. Although the creators are promising a new Eureka Seven "mythos," it will still feature the Renton and Eureka characters that starred in the original television version. Bandai Entertainment released both the original anime television series and the manga spinoff in North America. The Adult Swim television network ran the program in the United States.

I don't know about you guys, but this "new mythos" thing has me a bit worried... what do you guys think? Should we be excited about this? Or do we fear they'll ruin what was one of the greatest animes of all time? Some sort of retelling? A sequel but with a different storytelling style? Just what is this?

[Kraco]

Nah, I'm not worried. I wouldn't mind seeing Renton and Eureka again, especially if this takes place when they are already more comfortable in each other's company. The story of the series was pretty much concluded so it's not feasible to continue it in any manner, probably, so they could either make something totally new or somehow work on parts of what already transpired. In either case, it's not like it would overwrite anything you already experienced while watching the series.

Movies are movies, and movies somehow related to series are inferior to the actual show. Just take it as an extra piece of entertainment. Don't paint devils on the walls, like the saying goes here in Finland (don't know how you say it in English). It's not fated to be bad.

[animus]

I never got around to finishing it, I believe i only hit episode 10 then dropped it from boredom. Maybe I'll pick it up again.

[Sapphire]

The series is awesome, you should definitely pick it back up.

[Ryllharu]

As Kraco pointed out, it's just a movie version of a series with an alternate retelling. They just about all suck (I can't think of a good one off the top of my head). They don't really break canon because they weren't intended to be a continuation, just a fun retelling.

Other notable series that had alternate reality versions or recaps that everyone ignored:
- AIR
- RahXephon (mentioned in the clip Munsu posted)
- Vandread
- Kiddy Grade

I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

well they couldve continued on something liek 10 years later after teh ending??

[Kraco]

Technically yes (and financially) but not artistically. I wouldn't count it to be anymore in the same plot and thus it wouldn't be a continuation. It would affect even less anything that happened in the series than a movie that takes place ambiguously somewhere during the greater story.

[masamuneehs]

i'm slightly annoyed, but i'll surely take a look at it.

i really despise the practice of boiling a full show down to a short little movie...

[Sapphire]

http://www.eureka-prj.net/

The trailer's out. The character personalities seem a tad bit different (except for Renton's) but this movie looks like it could be pretty bad ass!

[Kraco]

Looks interesting. Some differences to the original are evident, which makes me glad. It would be no fun to watch a simply compressed version of the original. Look very intense as well - as if the series hadn't been intensive already...

What's most important: Eureka and Renton are still such a cute couple.

Edit: Oh, did anybody spot the three brats in the trailer? Maybe they are removed from the story. That would be sweet.

[digitalrurouni]

Ooh nice find! I wonder though if this is going to continue sort of where the show left off or whether it will be somewhere in between...chronologically.

[Ryllharu]

What's most important: Eureka and Renton are still such a cute couple.Definitely this. What I find just as important: Long-haired Eureka. I wasn't much of a fan of the plastered-hair look, I actually liked it when she chopped it short just because it was a change.

I thought I heard one of the voices of the kids during the trailer. It may have been Gidget though, she shared VAs with the middle of Eureka's kids.

[complich8]

given that my biggest retrospective criticism of E7 was that it dragged on desperately at a couple points, I'm definitely interested in seeing a version of the story told in the 90-180 minute range instead of the ~1000 minutes of series time. I can only imagine the sheer quantity of textural backstory that'll get trimmed out.

I fully support Long-haired Eureka, though.

[shinta|hikari]

Btw, the thing hanging around her neck is not a swimsuit, but a necklace. Another reason to watch it, I suppose.

[Kraco]

This was certainly surprising. Like Complich, I expected the movie to be kind of a summary, a (brutally) shortened version of the series, and so when it opened as a totally new story only reusing the characters' faces and names and the basic setting, I was filled with disbelief. It took me around half of the movie to finally accept it fully and begin to enjoy it as its own thing.

That being said, it's understandable the movie never reached the depth of the long series, but it performed almost remarkably well. Quite a few characters were left grossly superficial and acted as little more than plot devices, but once again that's understandable. What was really important: Eureka and Renton's little romance, was jolly good, though. More streamlined than in the series cutting most of the emo away and getting to the point right from the beginning, I'd say.

Definitely worth watching even if it won't replace the series by any means. Though long-haired Eureka could replace the short-haired one any day...

wtf @filesize.

wtf @filesize.

naruto movies usually are about 600 mb....

I haven't finished downloading it yet so i can't be quite sure about the quality but for comparison sake, the Blu-ray version of Apple Seed Ex Machina is about 6.5 gig.

[Kraco]

It's two hours of 720p high quality video. While it could have been compressed somewhat more, it would have still taken at least half a DVDR at minimum (unless a real ogre was handling the encoding). So, I guess they decided to put the whole capacity to use and thus sacrifice very little quality.

This isn't any Naruto so quality is a factor to take into account.

[digitalrurouni]

So it is worth grabbing then?
