Eureka Seven: Psalms of Planets [Archive]

"Excessive amount of time has passed since the human beings were driven from the Earth. Looking for a place to live peacefully, they finally found the Land of the Covenant. It was a desolate planet where the surface of the planet was covered by the substance similar to the coral, and there was an unknown ion called Traver in the air. They exploited the earth, and in order to use Traver effectively, they built huge towers. Under the towers, countries were built, and unifying these counties, the United States of the Towers was founded.
Several hundreds years have passed since then. Renton is a boy who lives with his grand father in a Tower Country, Belforest. He has a complaint about his life. He was the son of the Hero, Adrock, who saved the world from the disaster, Summer of Love, at the cost of his life. It became the burden on him. Furthermore, because his grand father is a mechanic, he has no choice but to take over his business.
Only his mental food is Liff which is a sport gliding in the air using Traver. He yearns for Holland who is a charismatic Liff Rider, and he wants to travel around gliding Liff like him believing that a big wave will come to him some day.

Just watched it, another great episode... This series as of now is my favorite of the Spring series... Tons of fun, at we still haven't gotten to the thick of the plot... we are still character developing which is nice in my opinion...

I wonder when the series will make Renton badass, instead of this wimp we see right now, though it's cool the way it is... it's what makes the series great

Yeah, I've seem up to episode 18 and they're doing a really good job with character development . The plot is still moving slowly, but I don't really mind and there's going to be major plot development in episode 19(the preview was way to revealing P). Oh, and I don't recommend watching the raws for the most part(unless you really understand the Japanese language)...I'm finding it really hard to understand certain parts and I'm definitely stopping after 19.

I think this is one of the better series out right now. It took awhile to get going, but it still had enough in the first few eps to hold my interest.

I loved the ep when Renton was getting hazed. Fun stuff.

Now it seems we are getting into the meat of the story. i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

Ryllharu

Tue, 11-01-2005, 06:49 AM

Admittedly, they weren't that great, but there were some good sections of it. Eureka's weird attitude and the question being was she jealous of Renton being with Nirvash or Nirvash being with Renton was pretty good. I'm glad they resolved that because her attitude was starting to get annoying. Not too much else happened other than giving all the unexplained relationships between Renton's whole family and the rest of the characters a couple nudges.

Munsu

Fri, 11-04-2005, 09:18 AM

Yeah, Eureka's attitude was a downer... I was really expecting something more deep to be happening to her, other than just plain jelousy... I wanted something to tie together her headaches with the ones that the other girl has (forgot her name)...

But yeah, it's interesting to see that she can't figure out what she is jealous about... Jealous of Renton or Nirvash... I think she's jelous of Renton, her main concern has always been that Nirvash doesn't want be with her any longer, still little by little she'll start warming up her real feelings for Renton, and the jealousy will be directed to the other...

Man, episode 19 was fucked up... I still don't know what the fuck is going on... so many wierd shit happens in this anime...

Can't wait for episode 20, looks like it will be good...

It also seems that the Gekkoh-Go people had something to do with Renton's sister...

Ryllharu

Tue, 12-06-2005, 07:20 AM

That's what's really starting to irritate me about this series, so of course I can't stop watching. The comments like that. They've hinted at Renton's sister a few times now, and Holland always gets INCREDIBLY serious when she's mentioned. The grandfather implied in the first two eps that she was taken away by Holland, and I assumed that she was dating him at the time or something of that nature, only to be later killed or otherwise missing.

Other things that have been hinted at and are driving me nuts:

-Talho in some military outfit at what I assumed was a hospital when Holland picked her up for the Gekko-Go's pilot.

-The true nature of the LFO's

-Renton's father, the Amita drive and the white haired commander

Munsu

Thu, 12-08-2005, 08:51 AM

I just think we are a couple of episodes away to start understanding the majority of what is going on, especially with what has just happened to Eureka... While they try to cure her I'm sure we'll learn more about the nature of what she is, and the nature of the world they live in...

Keep in mind that we aren't even half-way through the series, so they have to keep it a bit interesting by these vague comments... Though they irritate me too...

The concept for this anime is something very original and fresh. We are still far away from the truth. The anime is 52 episodes long and we are not even half way through. It does have some weird stuff going on since Eureka and Renton entered that Coralian.

Who is "that" person that they are keep on refering to?

Another great episode. Renton is letting all his rage out. Its time to see the full potential of Nirvash.

badass

Sat, 12-10-2005, 04:34 PM

I'm pretty sure that person is Renton's sister. They haven't really gone into what her significance to Holland is though. Since when do the mechas in this show bleed? I guess I just didn't notice until now. The end of the episode almost reminded me of Evangelion.

Jadugar

Sat, 12-10-2005, 05:35 PM

No, this is the first time they have shown LFOs bleeding. Maybe Renton was seeing red. They wanted to show the human side of the LFOs.

Munsu

Sun, 12-11-2005, 06:39 AM

Yeah, that person is probably the sister...

But, I don't think this is the first time we've seen blood coming out off the mechas...

Renton owned in the last couple of minutes, hopefully he'll have more outburst like that in the future and annihilate everyone...

Ryllharu

Sun, 12-11-2005, 08:19 AM

I liked how they called it Rider's High. He got so focused on killing them off while being angry at himself for blowing up atHolland even though Holland probably cares about Eureka more than Renton does at this point. That's why he flipped out and was pounding on images of himself for so long. I'm sure that there's some Trapar related reasoning for it, but I'll tell you, if I got angry enough and was in a mech, I'd probably end up doing the same thing on just adrenaline.

Then he saw the arm. (With a ring on it for emotional effect of course) This can't really be the first time he realized the KLF's are pilotted by people? He's taken out a couple dozen himself so far, I always thought he knew.

Munsu

Fri, 12-16-2005, 07:16 AM

Yep, I agree with you...

And the arm with the wedding ring was a nice touch. I predict Renton will lock himself in his room for days like he did in the last town.

And yeah, I can't believe this is the first time he's come to the realization that people are piloting the KLF's... But I do believe this is the first time he has come to the realization that the people piloting are Dads/Mothers, Brothers/Sisters, Husbands/Wives of other people, so I think that's the main thing about he seeing an arm with a wedding ring... Not that he killed someone, but that he killed someone's husband.

badass

Fri, 12-16-2005, 12:51 PM

It's not that he didn't know they were piloted by humans; he had just never seen the carnage he caused first hand. He might've been able to discredit the fact that he was killing people before because he never saw the corpses of the victims afterwards. He actually sees the result of his actions this time. It doesn't really matter that the guy had a wedding ring on, that's just icing on the cake.

I watched this entire series in two nights on a whim, Well worth it! I like the premise a lot, plus I haven't seen a living mech since Eva, and the a lot of the charachters have enough substance for me to care about them (hate or love). This series really drew me in, I couldn't not watch the next episode though that always seems to happen...I hope they can maintain this level of interest for the whole stretch.

Jadugar

Mon, 12-26-2005, 02:40 AM

I dont know why but it is beyond reason that not many people are watching this great anime. This is the only anime in 2005 which kept me wanting more.

This episode was nice.

Renton is truly happy now or is he (without Eureka)? Time apart should be good for both of them.
That Charles guy looks like Elvis.

Thu, 12-29-2005, 02:36 AM

just started DLing and checking this show out. Only the first 2 episodes, so still just trying to grasp the basic concepts.

Renton's grandfather > all anime grandfathers.

The LFO is a pretty nice looking mecha. LFO designs are pretty to look at, and I like how they adapted skysurfing to gigantic metal battle machines. Nice new edge to sell the merchandise with.

Seriously though, the battles are well fleshed, character designs are all pretty awesome. The animators are obviously very damn good. Visual dropkicks.

If I jump off a cliff with a metal skyboard and believe that the laws of gravity will not pull me down into the unwavering landmass that is the planet I live on and that instead I can ride the waves, with Sky Fish, up into the cloudy heights, will it really happen? Can I believe... with all of my heart.......... that I can really fly? Belief vs. gravity. Hm...

Renton's whining was pretty annoying, but other than that I really like what I see from this show.

Fri, 12-30-2005, 01:15 AM

Spoilers up to 23:

They really make it a point to make Renton seem naive/innocent. Character development is good, but it gets annoying to see him keep fucking up and then crying about it later. That said, this episode definately made up for the stupid dancing in the previous one. The Vodarek people remind me of the Ishbalans in FMA.

The only thing this show really lacks is a badass character. Also, those three little kids need to die. I hope Renton stomps on them with the Nirvash like he did to that other guy.

You're better off if you start downloading them now. Nanashi is great, but a little on the slow side while schools are in session (understandably so). Those torrents will be old by the time it finishes. It is 50 or so, so you're really better off if you get them now, but you can hold off until later at your leisure.

Nanashi removed the clock for the first episodes, but then people complained and whined about the 'blur' in the upper corner, so they decided it wasn't worth it and left the clock in.

You have some serious problems going on. There is no permission to give. You just click on the link and its triggers whatever BitClient you are using. In my case I use BitComet. When the link is triggered the BitComet gives you the choice to download individual or the full torrents.

pretty much what he said.

*if you havn't seen espisode 24, skip the rest of this post*

This espisode surprized me, before this espisode i thought he was gonna stay on the Beam's ship and meet up with Gekko-Go, but its looking like its gonna be the otherway around. Overall this was a very emotional and good espisode imo.

Also, how does Nanashi release there espisodes? Do they do it in batches, or just whenever they got time?

Episode 24 = Great
Holland seems to be coming around from being a total punk bitch, this makes me happy as I was growing tired of hating him.

Skip Below If not seen 24

The scene where Renton and Charles are in the hangar hugging was so sad, the kid had finally found all the happiness he'd been looking for (except his girl) and we know it's all going to be ripped away from him somehow.

What was up with Ray saying they approached Renton knowing who he was and where he had come from...

A) what a mean thing to say after the kids heart is already broken.
B) why then did they approach him then: to get info? to bring him over from the 'bad guys'? any ideas?

Just watched up to episode 11. I'm glad this show is getting a little more serious. It was a bit too goofy for my tastes earlier on, but around episode 8 the plot picked up. There are some absolutley hilarious characters in this show, and the animation is marvelous (even if the fights are a little one-sided as of this point). Its got good music as well. I'm sticking with this one, will take me a little while to catch up though.

The Renton-Holland meeting will be awkward as hell, I doubt Holland will say anything positive to Renton, he'll probobly just remark at how the Nirvash and Eureka need him, and that he should come back. Renton-Eureka...just plain awkward, and those damn kids might screw it up too.

Hmm... A very good series altogether. Watched all the episodes so far released in a few evenings. This seems to be one of those somewhat poignant (in lack of a better word right now) series that go a bit overboard with the psychology of the mental development of youngsters (and a few people not so young anymore...). It bothers me sometimes, but with this series being otherwise so very rewarding, I sure can stomach it like a man... No wonder why many have mentioned it as one of the best series of 2005.

For some bizarre reason it's always so moving to watch a previously robot like young person to be awakened to real human feelings (no sarcasm intended. I really mean this.)

What will Holland do? Kick Renton's ass. He rarely does anything else... I hope Eureka will encourage Renton to be more aggressive like the buddies have suggested. You know what that would mean, of course.

Darknodin

Sun, 01-08-2006, 05:45 PM

Man!! finally caught up!

okay 1st... Holland was really getting annoying, and was somehow hoping that Renton would stay with Charles are Ray and somehow destroy the Gekko-Go (yea! sorry for Eureka but still)... however, hopefully Holland is changing and well, things are going to get interesting either way (with Charles and Ray and the Special Forces bent on taking over the world)... anyways... it was slow to pick up but this show is now DAMN good...

one thing though... seems that ex-military people take Gekko-Go style ships as souvenirs? are they really better than the flying wings the army uses? anyways, even at mid-season there is so many questions unanswered (i mean, we don't even know what his father did) that... this is cool!

Perhaps those Gekko-Go style ships are mainly used by special forces. And I think Charles and Ray's ship is significantly smaller, also. It has just a crew of two, after all. The flying wings look easier to build and maintain, anyway = that's what military wants.

Fri, 01-13-2006, 11:24 AM

That's all I could say about the content of this eps...weird.

It made for a good transition of the reunion Renton will be making in the next eps, right before what I assume will be a big battle.

That makes me wonder though, that there is another option in the fate of Renton's sister. We all assume she is either missing or presumed dead, or confirmed dead, but the Gekko-Go crew that knows about it is keeping quiet. Remembering that Talho was recruited from a hospital Holland found in god knows where, so maybe Renton's sister caught herself a case of Despair and is similarly tucked away in a hospital. Just random speculations, its a good possibilty.

Moreover, what the hell is going on with that weird book? I think the title is 'Golden Bower' or at least that's what it looks like to me. Holland reads it, Dewey reads it, and they flash it randomly during the eps. You get the feeling that whatever it's about is something big.

Tue, 01-24-2006, 07:45 AM

This episode certainly was worth waiting for. I'm just wondering how powerful Nirvash will become. If Renton and Eureka can already singlehandedly take care of a large fleet, there isn't anymore much left that could really oppose them.

I have to say I have no idea what Ray wants. She could be evil, or perhaps not. Certainly she wasn't evil when Renton was living in their ship. I'm far from sure of what she was planning in this episode. The preview showed something sinister, but details remain to be seen.

masamuneehs

Tue, 01-24-2006, 10:23 AM

I thought this episode was great. Holland's being immature, Eureka finally going out and looking for Renton on her own, Charles' commentary. The Rainbow Sea was also a beautiful setting for this battle, just wish there was actually more of a battle...

There was one big drawback: Renton Thurston has entered the ranks of "I don't kill enemies, I just disable them from being able to fight." Kira Yamato in disguise for real... Have protagonists who are willing to admit that sometimes killing an enemy is necessary gone out of style in Japan? If I have to watch Renton disarm enemies for 24 straight episodes... How the hell is a LFO unit supposed to navigate the Trapar if its head (where I assume the sensory devices in the unit are) is gone? That's like saying"I'm not going to kill you. I'm just going to blind you while you're riding a great big surfboard thousands of meters above the ground. Good luck." How naive thinking like that is supposed to be the mark of a true hero I have no idea...

Charles: "To show compassion while flying around a battlefield... You're going to die, Renton... You're too soft." Now that man speaks the truth! *

* truth may not hold up in shoujo anime.

I can only hope that this show doesn't fall into the same crap fest of "A true hero never needs to kill anyone" that has plagued numerous mecha series. That is bullshit. A true hero won't kill unnecessarily, but he will do so when it's the right/best option on the table. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

Don't get me wrong, I still think this show is pretty awesome. That is just one of the complaints I have with some of the popular mecha anime. I'm glad that Nanashi is getting episodes of this show out again.

Ryllharu

Tue, 01-24-2006, 10:56 AM

-I didn't even know Eureka could ref board. Apparently, she's really good at it too.

-Ray grabbed her stomach before she said that Charles knows what she wants. That motion itself seemed pretty sinister to me. I have no idea at this point what that means, but it has a lot to do with Eureka apparently. Eureka 7's animation is really great because a lot of things are tucked away in tiny animation details, instead of cyptic dialogue here and there. (I also liked the way Talho was messing around with her hair before they moved in to attack, it was a really natural motion, something subtle that you usually don't see.) That's why this is so far one of the greatest series I've ever watched in my decade or so of anime watching.

-The last 26 eps are, if you think about it, all build up. Now we get to the parts of the series where things really get messy. Charles and Ray after...whatever she's after, Dewey and Anemone, the mystery of Renton's sister, and somehow the cause of everything...Adrock Thurston.

Even if Renton is starting to turn really soft, we still can't forget all the weird shit that hasn't been addressed since it first appeared.

After the time Renton launched off the Seven Swell, (what appears to be the polar opposite to whatever the two of them did this time), an expeditionary team went into the space around it, where a Corelian would later form. They were slaughtered by what I can only assume were LFO's using solidified Trappar as weapons.

I can only assume that Renton may be forced back into mortal struggles sooner than he would like.

Also, with an LFO as powerful as the Nirvash, which apparently possesses total dominance over all LFO's, KLF's anything Trappar related (Seven Swell and the new one that even peels off reflection film i.e. Skyfish skin) fighting may not even be necessary. There's an old samurai saying that details among the strongest samurai, a fight's outcome would be determined before it even began, and going through with the fight is really only a waste of one of their lives. With Renton and Eureka both in it, the Nirvash appears to be totally dominant over everything. Why bother killing when you know you have the power to kill anything at anytime?

Darknodin

Tue, 01-24-2006, 11:21 AM

Yea... I agree... with all what you guys have been saying. certain things I want to point.

1- ANYTHING can happen. Renton not killing anyone might change really fast (as he showed when he was with Charles).
2- What the hell are LFOs anyways? they look alive and well there is a good mystery there.
3- Holland will become a bad guy? I could see that happening (well more is, i hope this happens or something similar to that.)
4- Nirvash is overpowered now, but that doesn't mean anything. first there is the TypeTHEend, then there might be others like it. and it seems that the military is not going to be enemy #1 in the end so... lotsa things can happen!

I think Nirvash, typeZERo was the first LFO they discoverd/made. So it is very strong and its strenght is only matched by that other LFO which that crazy girl piloted. It was called somethingEND.

Originally posted by: Darknodin

I think they are alive. The power of the LFO are based on how strong the will of the pilot is. Remember the first episode when seven swell phenomenon happened. Renton didnt know how to activate it. He was just thinking about protecting Eureka. Also that amita drive might be some kind of interface between humans and LFOs.

Kira Yamaro and Renton. A very good observation. Yes, whats happened to the old trend of killing your enemies or the new generation of heros are becoming soft.

@ Ryllharu : Yes, I agree with you totally. This anime is keep on topping my chart of favorite animes. The animation of this show is really smoth and natural. Those little details are well refined.

Sun, 02-05-2006, 08:14 AM

Wow, episode 27... that was some wicked stuff. For a mostly mecha anime this episode sported some really good covert ops and stealth battle. Holland was friggin scary as hell early on in the episode, and Charles...

Man, that was just raw. Using the gun to lift up the bulletproof vest and firing off until there's nothing left, raw. And the end, holy shit, if it already wasn't messy enough...

I also got the feeling that someone from the Gekko-go will die sometime in the future, it just seems to always happen that way around the end of season 2 or beginning of season 3 in anime. One important character from the bad guy's side dies, then one from the good guy's. My money is on Moon-doggie or Stoner getting killed, especially after Stoner's words in 27.

Some questions I hope are going to be answered: What is going on with the Nirvash? Is it permanently linked with Renton/Eureka's minds now?
What exactly is Ray's deal with childbirth and how did it get that way? (answered in ep. 28)
Is Eureka even a human being? Ray certainly made it seem like she wasn't...

Episode 28, here I come!

Oh,and I concur on the generally negative consenus about the new opening.

Edit: I love the small visual effects that they do so well in this anime. The expressions on people's faces say more than most dialogues, gestures are usually meaningful. Best of all, as someone mentioned recently, is the small details that are done so well in this show.
I love that the blood wasn't all washed off from the Nirvash. At first you see just a smudge on the white paint in the blurry foreground, then they go to a long-shot where you can see the whole Nirvash, including the arm that is still bloody despite obviously being washed. Then they cut to a running shower. Then to the messed up inside of Charles/Ray's kitchen, and what is in the very center of the initial shot? Spilt tomatoe sauce all over the floor. Slow pan up towards the empty table. New shot: focus on the table from above, everything white except for the RED condiment tray in the center. Next shot: inside the refrigerator, a slow pan downward ending on uncooked meat. Oh the visual innuendo's are beautiful in this show!

28 was great as well. Damn this show kicks some major ass

Ryllharu

Sun, 02-05-2006, 09:06 AM

Ray's humming throughout eps 28 was some of the most unnerving and creepy background noise I've heard in a while. Once she started that, I knew we'd seen the end of her by the end of the eps.

What an amazing end at that! I expected LFO/KLF combat, and we actually got ship to ship close combat. Ken-Goh has to be the greatest gunner in the entire world. Not only did he help Talho move the Gekko-Go out of the way, he hit Ray with one.

Most touching of all was Ray reaching for her severed arm to grab the ring. Very moving. I'd seen things like it before, quite often actually, but this time it actually came off really well. Ray seemed so small as she was struggling to get to it.

Ray was sterilized when Adrock Thurston and researchers, whom I can only assume Eureka was a participant in, set off the first Seven Swell with the Nirvash. Ray blames Eureka, the only reason I can guess is because Eureka must have been present, and piloted the Nirvash for the test.

Talho's reaction to Renton being the only available donor was very interesting. Talho is obviously sore about Diane and Holland's relationship, whatever happened there. I'm hoping that we'll find out what happened soon.

Renton clearly trusts and loves Eureka enough to tell her everything about him. But Eureka doesn't want to tell him about the horrible things she's done.

Finally, who are all the people in the ending? I recognize Maeter (she's obvious), and I think Talho and Anemone, but they are draw strange, as if Talho is in high school and Anemone is in her 20's. I suppose the last one must be Eureka, similarly drawn older.

They should've had Ray and Charles kill at least a couple Gekko-Go members. Half of them have are just filler characters anyway. I don't even remember the bald guy having any lines before this. Also, those three kids are probably the biggest downfall of the show. They need to be killed asap.

Where have you been? Good guys can't die in anime! That's what the villains are for. Seriously though, I agree that Ray and Charles WOULD have killed some Gekko State members, but they were all hiding. Ray happened to run into Talho, who was with three big distractions (Renton, Eureka, the children). Charles ran into Holland. Considering those matchups I don't see how the outcome was unrealistic.

No way Jose. Maeter and Link do get annyoing at times, but Maurice I like. He is more mature and I think it is going to become really important that he didn't rush to Eureka's side (halfway in episode 28). I think its going to get to Eureka.

There was one of the bombshells. I knew it was going to be something like that, but I didn't at all expect exactly that.

Really big drop in animation quality, but if they are going to save their budget on eps like this, where only the dialogue matters, I'm fine with that. I'd rather have crap eps now, and the end of the series look great, rather than see their budget die right before the last ten eps.

Munsu

Sun, 02-12-2006, 11:08 PM

After watching episode 29...

Yeah, it was a fairly good episode... I didn't really notice the drop in animation you talk about, but whatever... We knew that Eureka had some sort of connection with the Coralians, but I never expected for her to be one... I wonder what that says of Renton, since I remember Holland saying that no one exept Eureka had ever witnessed the "dream world" Renton experienced when he went into the Coralian...

Ryllharu

I think what the military and Holland were both implying is that neither side had ever managed to get into the Coralian. Since Adrock believed them to be sentient, then that probably means a great deal about Renton, since that would imply that Renton was accepted by that one into the dream world.

Also, if Eureka is one, that must mean that in some way at the least, Anemone is one. Maybe that has something to do with her psychosis and why they pump her full of rage medicine all the time. Was she torn from their world where Eureka was willingly given to this side? Or is she some synthetic military made one?

The thing I noticed early on was Eureka has a red circle (usually appearing as cresent moons, unless her eyes are fully open) in each of her eyes, whereas Anemone has a single red slash through each. I wonder if there is any signifigance to that difference. It makes them both similar and different for sure.

When Renton went into the Coralian, did Dominic also went into it? Or did he just went to get Anemone after the Coralian was over?

Kraco

Mon, 02-13-2006, 06:21 AM

Didn't he just go afterwards, to get Anemone back? Well, I don't remember that well anymore. But a nice episode nevertheless. I suppose an explanation like that was evident. I always thought Eureka would be some sort of hybrid, but she seems to be a real thing. But there is a definitive difference between her and Anemone for some reason. It looks like Anemone isn't quite stabile, so maybe she's a hybrid, imperfect model, or synthetic like Ryllharu said.

Who were those three guys who reported about Dominic? Is the military spying its own agents, or were those some rebel dudes reporting to Gekko State?

Munsu

Mon, 02-13-2006, 08:03 AM

Probably the military themselves.... Gekko State wouldn't bother with such a small fry... And the main importance is Dominic saying "How can I possibly report this?" which means that when he goes to report he'll be caught in a lie...

I always knew Eureka wasn't human. The extent of her "not being human" was the only thing I wondered about. The fact that she can speak with the Nirvash (which is probably another conscious being), was almost absorbed by the Skurve in the old mine (a sorta 'come back home' phenomenon) and just her general behavior were pretty big hints towards her being Coralian.

I wonder about the difference between Compac Drives and LFOs, between Eureka and Anenome (I think she's also Coralian, but like Ryllharu suggested, one that was forced into human form) and whether Coralians are all of the same conciosness or not.

Compac Drives seem to be like souls/spirit compacted into a fuel source, like Mako in FF7. LFO's remind me of Evas. They're certainly alive, but why do they have those forms if their natural state is frozen/stuck in Skurve (back to the cave episode again)? Were they once walking beings, or the first attempts of Coralians to take on human form?

I think Ryllharu hit the Anenome/Eureka thing right on the head. The difference in there eyes... I've often wondered myself. Has anyone else noticed that Eureka's red circle changes depending on her moods?
Close-ups of Eureka in this episode are only when she's upset. Further back shots show no "red" in her eyes when she's neutral or in a good mood. Could just be lack of detail...
6:20 - Renton has just gotten upset about Charles and Ray. Eureka says she feels her 'choosing' Renton over Holland is why Holland killed the two. The "red" in her eyes is a half circle, thick at the bottom.
18:47 - Eureka is very upset, talking one on one with Renton about her being a Coralian. The "red" in her eyes is almost a complete circle.

Eureka "chose" Renton. What do you all think that means exactly? I think it was that she "chose" him to enter the Coralian, where no human has been before. Like the Coralians presented Eureka in human form as a show of their good-will to Adrock, Eureka brought Renton back to show the Coralians that some humans can co-exist with Coralians. Holland has flaws that would have made the Coralians restless if he had been presented. Also... Diane, Renton's sister, appeared for a flash in the Coralian. I think that indicates she may have been there ahead of time. If I had to guess I'd say she was "the first diplomat". I wouldn't be surprised if it was her that suggested to the Coralians that Eureka be created in human form. Just my guess.

If I remember correctly Domic did NOT go into the Coralian. He didn't appear in any of the 'dream' sequences there, only afterwards in the crater. Those guys trailing him are probably not from Dewey's squadron (as I always got the feeling Dewey trusted Dominc), but I'm betting on the other military.

I like how they subtly hinted at Dominc being followed early on in the episode. He is at Adrock's memorial and suddenly looks around. But he doesn't see anyone. That was a good one.
Also I liked how after Talho's rant and revealing everything they drop back to a shot of the kitchen and the sign reads "Today's Recommendation."
Moondoggie's reaction to the sparkling bathroom was also hilarious.

Ryllharu

Mon, 02-13-2006, 10:51 AM

Ahah, I forgot about Moondoggie's reaction. He screams like something horrible has happened, and then you see him cleaning too.

I always thought the changes in Eureka's red circle was because her eyes were either wide open, or some variation of half-lidded. Interesting theory though. Do Anemone's change their angle relative to flat? It should be easier to tell because the mood-swing queen changes about 10 times a minute.

As for their two particular shapes, it's neat to note that a circle and a line are about as opposite as two objects can be. One implies completeness, and the other does not. (This is kinda obvious, but I felt like pointing it out.)

I like the idea about the exchange with Eureka and Renton, but I always got the feeling that something worse than that happened to Diane. They didn't seem too emotional about the Coralian, as if something bad like that had happened before, more that they just wanted to make absolutely sure they got into it first.

They are Special Ops soldiers (or were). They wouldn't be emotional even if something bad had happened. Like Talho said, it's not some happy family onboard Gekko-Go. Besides, who knows if any or many of them were actually present right there when Diane supposedly went in.

Ryllharu

Mon, 02-13-2006, 12:01 PM

I think we're jumping to conclusions about Diane going in. She was in Renton's vision, yes, but so was just about everything else. Hell, those three girls in this eps were in it as part of his class before they turned into whatever. Important things to Renton were in there, along with a lot of messed up stuff (that came from Anemone).

Renton's sister is pretty important to him, its no surprise she would show up.

Also, the members of the Gekko-Go do get emotional about Diane. Holland gets really weird when he starts thinking about her, and Talho gets really angry about her, and when Holland is thinking about her. If something happened, they'd show it on their faces.

It doesn't even matter that they were special ops. Holland loses his temper ALL the time. Talho gets really pissed off at the dumb shit Renton does, and she gets infuriated at Holland too. Hell, Gekko State wouldn't even have existed if it wasn't for Eureka and Holland getting emotional and going AWOL in that city.

Kraco

Mon, 02-13-2006, 12:52 PM

Yeah, you are right. I worded that really bad. What I was trying to say is that even getting emotional wouldn't stop them from doing or trying to do something, because of their background.

Yukimura

Mon, 02-13-2006, 06:28 PM

If Eureka is a Coralian and that Scab/Skurve goop was what she came from or whatever, then how is it that those religious people know how to fix her? Might they have some type of religious connection with the creatures? As they said, the plot thickens more and more now. And I think Anemone was an attempt to clone/copy whatever Eureka is in an attempt to study/comunicate with/conquer the Coralians.

We learned about Eureka this episode and from the preview we should learn more about the Nirvash next time. I hope it turns out to be some cool lifeform like a baby Coralian or something, we'll see.

Tue, 02-21-2006, 11:55 PM

So, if I understood correctly, Holland is all worked up about Renton's family because Diane disappeared after she left him. Renton is starting to get a little confused about Eureka's Coralian origins, and putting her off at a slight distance in his mind from time to time. He keeps seeing something else in her. The rest of the time he continues his protect her absolutely vow.

And Dewey plans to attack the Scab (formerly called Skurve) directly? Is this to stop all the earthquakes and other natural disasters that Adrock started up when he decided to make contact with the Coralians?

I don't know if I like the new (or is it old?) Talho look. The OP and ED has grown on me a lot though, so I guess we'll see.

Munsu

Wed, 02-22-2006, 12:27 AM

She went from super hot, to just a dumb broad...

Yukimura

Wed, 02-22-2006, 04:08 AM

Talho's new look is weird, it makes her body stand out more, though it's not as obviously hot as the old getup, and the hair just plain sucks. If these scientists we able to figure out all the nerves in these aliens, essentially making them cyborgs, when are we going to see all the human cyborgs that should have been created from similar research? Cause if there's one thing any show thrives on, it's cyborgs.

I hope they make Nirvash look different than before somehow, not just the same old, same old.

masamuneehs

Wed, 02-22-2006, 06:17 AM

Well 30 wasn't the best E7 episode yet, but it addressed some things that were bound to come up eventually.

I also don't like Talho's new look. Then again, Eureka has also gotten uglier, and I think the creators are going for a 'the positive changes need to be made on the inside' kind of thing. This can also be seen in how Ray and Charles were always so into keeping their ship clean and neat, while the Gekko-go, whose forces were superior in the end, was usually messy and more chaotic. I also think the 'Inner beauty' being released is sorta the design behind the beauty of the Seven Swell. If this isn't just my imagination, then I wouldn't be surprised if the next version of the Nirvash is uglier than the old one. Better looking or worse, it will still be superior to its past self.

I'll never get over how poorly military technology is guarded in anime. Not even a single KLF platoon to guard your top R&D base? The scientist knows exactly what the commanders are going to use the weapon for? For crying out loud he just TOLD Holland what they were developing!

I'm really intrigued by what's going on with Maurice. Told ya it was going to be a big deal eventually.

I also don't get what exactly Dewey hopes to gain out of attacking the Skurve (Scab). From the episode preview it looks like a massive air strike. But won't that just really fuck up the planet that humans still have to live on? That guy needs more screentime so we can figure out what the enemy is really up to.

Kraco

Wed, 02-22-2006, 06:42 AM

A decent episode. I have no bigger problems with Talho's new looks. So much have changed for the crew of Gekko-Go that it's no miracle some crew members feel the need to change themselves, also externally. And I think a good show with a strong plot won't be any worse if the characters aren't only designed so that the audience can leer at them. In my opinion while Talho certainly didn't get any hotter, quite the contrary, she didn't get ugly either.

Whilst Masamuneehs does have a point about the lack of visible defences of the R&D facility, the Gekko-Go got in through peaceful means, in the end. We don't know what kind of weaponry they had there. There could have been also KLFs in some hangar. And of course they had those strange new weapon prototypes...

If there was any military personnel stationed at the Tresor R&D base they must be the worst soldiers in history. The Gekko-go, with or without fake landing codes, is an easily recognizable ship. Hell, letting any ship in general land at your top R&D base is idiotic.

There couldn't have been any military people at Tresor because they would have done SOMETHING upon seeing the Gekko-go. They certainly wouldn't sit by and allow their resources to be used to restore the biggest threat posed to them by their greatest human enemy. What kind of military just throws an important job to a group of engineers and then doesn't leave an officer to oversee the progress? Dewey must be low on men or plain stupid...

Kraco

Wed, 02-22-2006, 10:14 AM

Maybe they were just military contractors, responsible for their own safety. Actually you proved that yourself by saying there weren't any purely military personnel present: That means it's not a military base. It's just a research and development base making stuff for the miliaty upon contracts. Chances are they would never ask for armed forces to be stationed there; They looked like people happy with their independence.

Yeah. What a tender moment between Renton and Eureka... And of course true to the anime traditions, it had to be disturbed. Damn, you could really see how Renton gathered and accumulated all the courage he could possibly muster to this moment, and then it had to go to waste. What a damn pity...

But damn I hate those twisted kids that every now and then pop up in anime. Now I'm talking about that troupe the military is employing. It's not like their job (whatever it might be) couldn't be performed by some experienced soldiers. Or is the thing they are doing so unethical that only brainwashed kids would possibly do it without hesitation (that is, be stupid enough to do it)? Doh, if it was so bad, they should let a computer do it. Would probably be cheaper.

Thoughts on 31:
Loved the contrast between Eureka's talking about bloody hands and Renton's literally oozing cleaning product.

Bear is hilarious. I said something like his theory before, and I believe he's very close to the truth of why Eureka was sent by the Coralians.

Ageha squad: badass. Granted they are an anime cliche, but man nothing's more sinister than an evil child. I also think that Dewey needs people equally insensitive to others. Children are selfish, easily influenced/brainwashed, perfect for this plan. Jet Black said it best, "And, really, there's nothing more pure and cruel than the mind of a child..."

Was Dewey coming on to that sage? I love how he provoked an attack by the Scab Corals to get humans on his side. I can only wonder how nobody (Dominic!) figured out he and the Aghea Squad was behind it? plot convienence...

Noticed something interesting. In the flashback when Eureka finds the 3 kids Link looks to be unconscious, Matear is crying so hard her eyes are shut. But Maurice is staring straight at Eureka. Goes a long way to explain his growing distant from her.

You heard it here first: Dominic and Anemone will defect from Dewey's squad. Dominic cares too much about the girl, and Dewey seems to be more interested in the Ageha squad right now.

While I agree about Dominic I think Dewey has a stronger hold over Anemone, even if he doesn't need her now eventually he'll have to field some LFO type offense, and theEND is probobly his ace. Dominic will probobly try to take her with him but she won't go.

Another good episode. Damn those half crazed children soldiers are becoming hateful characters, at least for me. I don't know how those soldiers can stand to take orders from them. Perhaps Dominic can't in the long run, and will hit the road. theEND doesn't appear to have a chance against Nirvash, so it's hard to say what happens to Anemone. And it's also noteworthy that Anemone has a separate personality when injected with the medicine, and that makes it even harder to predict what she might do. Probably only simple things and decisions, in the end, based on her behavior, so it shouldn't be too hard for Dominic to manipulate her enough to get her out of Dewey's direct control.

Kind of curious to see what exactly happened when Nirvash avoided? theEND's missile barrage.
The more this series develops, the more I'm thinking it's going to be difficult to end it at 50 episodes - at least it should mean it remains a fast-paced series till the END ;)

Thu, 03-16-2006, 08:58 PM

done in as close to real-time as it gets, obviously i Pause alot to take in big scenes and to think. On average I spend 40-50 minutes watching an episode of e7, including typing this. There's so much to be appreciated that just watching it straight through isn't enough, too easy to miss things:

7:03 - Confirmed: Members of the Ageha squad have no souls. "1 head, 1 torso, 2 arms, 2 legs; that counts as one body"
Those gigantic missing holes were the Scab Coral attacked... Festums (Fafner) all the way
7:05 - Confirmed: Axel Thurston is one kickass old man.
7:07 - Hmm: All new scenes start with a pan down onto ground level?
7:08 - Wow!: Little kid just pissed himself. Coralian eyes... wow...
7:10 - Axel Thurston: its the one that says 'BAD MUTHA FUCKA' on it!
7:12 - And now we know why he is always flying kites. See comment directly above.
End A part thought: Where the hell did Axel's friend come from and why didn't he get more screentime earlier?

Part B start- Now the scenes start going from the ground up towards the sky: Human attack (first, from sky), Coralian attack (second, from the Planet)
7:15 - Hmmm: That radio operator looks so much like a character from Cyborg009
7:19 - Frown: Anemone's attack did no damage? I don't like that...
Big smile: Brought back the first OP song.
7:20 - Eureka and Renton: HADOUKEN!!! Anemone: Pwned.
7:22 - See note from 7:10

End Reaction: One kickass episode. Axel Thurston is the fucking man. I don't like the Nirvash getting that far ahead of _theEND, but I figured something like that was bound to happen. Seriously though, Dewey had better have something huge up his sleeve to counter with or Eureka and Renton are going to kick his ass (without killing anyone of course)

I also lost count of whether the direction of the camera angle panning from up to down and vice-versa was what i thought it would be or not. I noticed they'd sometimes switch between locations and do a different opening pan, but alot of major events opened with the pan.

Never have I seen so much in depth review by anyone. Not that Eureka 7 doesnt deserves it. You just went an extra mile. You are right that there is too much to be appreciated and it isnt just worth watching straight through. You certainly need a moment to pause and think about what just happened.

7:20 - Eureka and Renton: HADOUKEN!!! Anemone: Pwned.!

That was funny seeing a Hadouken.

Although the second opening was awesome, the third is started is starting to grow on me along with the new ending.

Human and a Coralian?

Assuming they even could reproduce, it would only depend on whether Eureka is what she is because she developed that way from the beginning or whether she was somehow molded from ready material to human shape. If she indeed developed that way right from the beginning, the offspring would obviously be more human than Eureka and a little less human than Renton. In practice, quite human. If she was just artificially made to look like a human, then it's more likely they couldn't even reproduce.

Has it been told if Eureka was a baby in the beginning? If she was and then develop to her current form over time, then it would indicate the human form is her natural form, and it would give better chances for the family Thurston to continue.

Check episode 30. When Renton and Eureka meet the doctor at the Tresor facility Eureka recognizes her and says, "This is where they brought me when I was discovered." And then there's a shot of Eureka, semi-covered in Coral, and quite obviously older than a baby. Renton's voiceover uses interesting words, "That's right... Eureka was discovered as a Coralian."

It's the 'as a Coralian' thing that makes me feel she's just using a human form. The Scab Coral have been seen in numerous different physical forms, (the most interesting to me is still the Trappar that attacked/crystallized the miltiary KLFs way back when) and since they 'appear' and 'disappear' from the planet it seems that any physical manifestations of Coralians are not their natural form.

The only possible exception is the Nirvash and all the other LFOs... In the cave it certainly looked like the Nirvash-like forms were growing quite naturally in that form, indicating that they do have a fixed physical form and can not 'disappear back into the planet' as easily as the Scab Coral.

As someone who sees episodes of e7 more times before the release than most of us ever see in our lives I'm sure your comments and clarifications will be most helpful in the future.

btw, what's the deal with the Nanashi torrent tracker? Is it going to limit releases that badly? What donation goal are you trying to reach?
There is no deal with the tracker, it was the archive bot that is close to overages on bandwidth. We already reached our donation goal for the year, but if we can get more we would like to get you all another server to either serve files on irc with or seed the bit torrents. As of right now we have a little over $2300(USD) in donations.

That's quite intesting actually. We know in the beginning Eureka was a remorseless killer in the Spec Ops squad, and later on she has also shown clear lack of emotions and understanding of emotions. Only later she apparently acquired any deeper feelings, after Renton entered the stage. However, despite having those feelings and emotions now, she still doesn't know what to do with them or how to follow them. I see it so that Talho brought her back to the real world from going overboard. Thus it didn't (yet) bother me that much.

Wow,ep 32 had so much pwnage that i'm right there next to that kid cleaning my pants.

Since it hasn't been mentioned...Nirvash Spec-2 (Is that the proper name for it now?) is awesome. Zeta Gundam with a Kamehameha/Masenko-Ha/Dragon Slave/insert favorite anime projectile. Everytime I looked at the new Nirvash I thought how it didn't look all that different from the original, then when I saw the new board I figured that was the big change...then I saw waverider mode (forgive me I've been watching Zeta this week ) and seven swell On-DEMAND and I went nuts.

Though this has been mentioned, Axel is sick, just a balls out fantastic charachter. THough unlikely, I hope he somehow meets up with the Gekko-Go so he can be awesome even more.

Eureka's guilt over the actions of her 'bretheren' seemed well done to me. While it did make her a bit whiny she reacted in a very believeble way considering she probobly could see through the eyes of the Coralians that killed all those people. I assume she'll learn to communicate with them and try to get them to not take Dewey's bait, causing a rather large setback in whatever he's planning. Dewey is just plain crazy, why is he stirring up Coralians in inhabited areas...does he plan on having the human race wiped out along with the Coralians and starting over with just him and his crazy little girls? This series brings it so well, I can barely believe its real.

I thought Dewey was doing that just to get public opinion against the Coralians and in support of a war against them. The public doesn't know those were provoked attacks, after all. They only know suddenly large hordes of Corallians appeared and attacked everything that moves (and don't move).

Since it's not Dewey working alone but the military alongside him, there needs to be some reason the military also accepts. Even if it's a corrupt military. But for the military to annihilate all the civilians would obvious be a suicide.

Ryllharu

That's a another good point and possibly a large part of what he's doing, but he really doesn't even need support to be able to do it. The military is entirely afraid of him. No one in this world other than Holland even DARE oppose Dewey.

He was saying that he was doing these pinpoint attacks to drag the Coralians out. He's been trying to Find them. Once he knows that, he can attack them at free will.

Do I remember wrong, or didn't they dig up Dewey from some prison in an earlier episode? And I don't think this series is exactly one of those where one man matters that much. One bullet would be enough to stop Dewey. It just looks like the leaders of the world don't have a better plan to get things to the state they like other than Dewey's way. Obviously he has been given a lot of authority. And so it's also good to remember the kids themselves don't actually have any authority (as they have pretty much told themselves): Take Dewey away, and the military would probably kick the annoying kids out of the aircrafts (without parachutes).

Adult Swim has removed from its site a banner announcing Euraka 7's April 14 online premiere. Thanks to Herb Kirchhoff for the update.

probably just a change in timeslot/scheduling

I don’t think that I have ever seen a bad episode of eureka seven. They are either good or great. The ones that don’t have much action in them make up with the good story line. This was one of those episodes.

Am I the only one who thinks that Talho is getting sexier and Eureka is getting scarier??

I need a picture or Renton and Eureka reffing on the long board.

The next episode seems interesting with all the three sages meeting the Norbe. We might actually find out what they want and who they are?

I thought we were getting a 4th opening?

Nice picture, Icealchemist. (And bad, very bad forecast. I'm sure nobody here wants to hear Eureka Seven will present bad episodes in the future :p )

This was certainly a good episode. It only reinforced the image of Gekko-state as a bunch of surfers fighting for a lifestyle. Of course they are really heroes fighting the bad military and for the indigenous lifeforms, but somehow it's much more believable and sympathetic when they remain the hippie types they appear.

Wed, 03-29-2006, 07:06 AM

7:00: More than halfway into this series and they finally decide to give us a timetable on the setting. About damn time!
7:01: Goddamn Icealchemist! Just stick with a damn name for stuff already!
7:03: Ken-Goh, "We weren't too late. They were just too fast." Well... if looking at it with that perspective will help you feel better...
705-06: Fat man made Renton look slow:p And his important memory is symbolized by a candy:rolleyes:
End Part A thought: Best scenes in this episode so far have all been with Talho. Thought right before the break that a different title would be more appropriate...

713: Aren't the military a little concerned about where the fuck all the top scientists from Tresor went? :confused:
713: "And brighten Eureka's mood with your feelings" *barfs*
714: Talho's voice sound way off during this scene to anyone else? Wish they'd stop with the dramatic music in the background...
716: The theme of 'toys' really hits me. Was wondering why the bloody hell Matthew was playing with his music equipment during the meeting (and why they focused the camera on it), and the shot from Moondoggie and the older guys Reffing to the orphans' box of toys really brought it out.
717: Excellent contrast shift. Trust in emotions, trust in science.
718: Hearing 'Hey Stoner!' cracks me up :D
719: The sun sets as Holland takes his (pitiful) last ride...
720: Rings! Holland is lost to the scourge of marriage! Lament, lament!
722: Like any of them were ever going to leave? :rolleyes: I mean, most of them are still going to be on 'Wanted' posters for being Gekko-go members, even if they say they've disbanded... I hate those 'Oh my god what's the chances you guys would stay?' bits.
I think this is the first time we actually see what Moondoggie does on the ship.

End Reaction: A little too 'feel-good' for my morbid tastes, but still a pretty good episode with some well-done moments. Only towards the end did I get the idea that the overall theme in the episode was 'Dawn-Day-Sunset' but ending on a point of 'Tomorrow is another day also'. Also the 'toys' and 'mementos' themes were pretty heavily stressed.

Preview reaction: Dewey on the throne (if Norbu is some possible diplomat to the Coralians Dewey (or rather, if I were Dewey) should put a bullet through his head), flashback to Eureka finding the kids (Maurice gets more attention, i hope). Hoping for some action!

Wed, 03-29-2006, 12:34 PM

@ IceAlchemist : Thanx for the picture.

@ masamuneehs :

I really wanted someone to throw those kids out of the Gekko-Go while at 10,000 feet.

Moondogie does a lot of stuff on the ship. A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

When the series is finished and a DVD version comes out then you should do commentary on the entire episode.

Ryllharu

Wed, 03-29-2006, 12:48 PM

Absolutely correct. Moondoggie was the member who previously was abused like Renton. He did everything that no one else wanted to do. It was the premise of an entire eps.

I understand how you can dislike Linck and Maurice, but how can you hate Maeter? She's the least annoying one. Maurice is old enough that he gets all depressed and weird (definitely an emo kid), and Linck is young enough to still be constantly annoying. Maeter may be the only one I really like, but the kids aren't that annoying. At times some of them are more mature than Holland or Renton.

masamuneehs

Wed, 03-29-2006, 01:30 PM

i meant like what he does during a battle or what official position he actually has. Even Renton has always sort of been a 'co-pilot' of the Nirvash since joining, in addition to his duties as Pledge/Puppy/Newbie.

Heck, even the old man makes tea (and probably provides some kind of psychyotherapy or some other help) for the crew. I don't ever remember Moondoggie reporting in from the Catapult room or anything like that (unless they just used his voice and never showed a shot of him, or maybe I just have a shitty memory)

Not that we see you all that often icealchemist, but spoilers are a big no no here. Good work with E7, every release brings me a little more joy.

This show is just excellent, I love pretty much everything about it to some degree, however there are some things that bug me. i.e. Did Holland really expect his crew to abandon him over a risky mission...that doesn't seem in charachter, I think he knows how loyal his people are, that's why they're there. I also have several questions and i'm not sure if an answer exists yet, which irritates me imensely.

What is the point of firing the giant space laser?
Why are the Coralians being attacked...What did they do to humanity to warrant this response?
What role do the sphere-clouds play in all this?
Why does theEND have kick ass weapons while typeZERO only has a knife (not counting the PWN-UR-ASS aka Amita drive powers)?
What are LFO's and how are they related to Coralians if at all?

And my #1 Question, WTF is Scab/Skurve/S*****?

If an answer to any of these questions exists, someone please let me know.

P.S: Whoever said throw the kids off the ship, while in flight...props to you, though they seems to be keeping the kids away from the storyline more and more, which is just as good, although unfortunate there's always a chance to bring them back in.

Ryllharu

Thu, 03-30-2006, 02:33 PM

1. What is the point of firing the giant space laser?
2. Why are the Coralians being attacked...What did they do to humanity to warrant this response?
3. What role do the sphere-clouds play in all this?
4. Why does theEND have kick ass weapons while typeZERO only has a knife (not counting the PWN-UR-ASS aka Amita drive powers)?
5. What are LFO's and how are they related to Coralians if at all?

And my #1 Question, WTF is Scab/Skurve/S*****?
These are my interpretations to your questions using the current content of the show released by Nanashi.

1. I assume you mean the missles that Dewey has had his girls shooting into the planet that the engineers developed. Those damage the planet hard enough to draw out the Antibody Coralians, so that Dewey can lure out and find the 'true' Coralians, to kill them all off so mankind can exclusively own the planet. At least that's what his plan seems to be.

2. The Coralians are being attacked by Dewey so humans can own the planet. There was a intro by Renton or one of the other characters a few eps back talking about how the planet was not an easy one to live on. Earthquakes all the time, Coral thrusting randomly out of the ground all the time like at the rave, people being affected by Dispair, etc. Dewey and his allies believe that this is caused by the Coralians, and by killing them, the planet will be the humans.

3. The sphere clouds are a form of Coralian as I recall. The entire crew of Gekko-State called them that. This was before we knew about Coralians at all, but one appeared when the first loaded missle was fired from space, so I assume Dewey is trying to get them into a form he can kill. (This is a tough question to answer, because we still know so little about Coralians, and so far, neither does anyone else really in the show, except maybe Adrock Thurston.)

4. So far I think the Nirvash is doing quite well on its own with the boomerang/knife. theEND and Anemone more and more seem to be a sort of parody to Eureka and Nirvash. An imitation that Dewey made, found, or by some other means created to attempt to get to a similar end that Eureka could achieve for him. A perversion. Where the Nirvash is has clean lines and is very humanlike, theEND is twisted, bulbous and bristling with unnecessary, and now with the new specs of the Nirvash, not very effective, weapons. It's not that different from Ray and Charles' models ultimately, except that Anemone pilots it in a very awkward position, and it has a lot of freaky eyes.

5. LFO's are Scab (alt. Skurve) coral that was given armor and a means to pilot them. Generic KLF's are made from crappy, weak and impure Scabs, where the high-end LFO's like theEND, Nirvash, and Ray and Charles' KLF's are made from older, more pure Scabs. In the case of the Nirvash, it was the first Scab to emerge from the earth, and came with Eureka in tow. There's a whole bunch about it in the eps where the Gekko-Go is stuck in the mine, rewatch those eps for more details. There is also a little more about the process in the recent eps where the Nirvash was getting an overhaul at the base. Watch the old film for the details.

I suspect that Scabs come from the Coralians, as a means to communicate and empathise with humans. This sentiment is expressed by some of the characters throughout the show in the last 15 eps or so, and there is some talk about it in the mine episodes as well. I suggest rewatching those for decent enough answers to your questions.

OK I am Just curious... Why is it that all the Anime that has subtopics ... Well Isn;t very good .. I know that is just one persons opinion But Naruto has gone to poop and hopefully the Fillers will end and yadda yadda,Bleach has gone down the drain .. though wasn;t really my favorite to begin with...... BLOOD+ Which USEd to have its own topic is Actually Pritty Good,..... And NOW I find this........

COME ON? What does it take for an anime to have its own sub topic? does it have to be in its 100+ episode? does it have to be after its worn out and has some strange die hard fans which are BRAINWASHED by it to the point where they think its good (epople who enjoy naruto fillers.... or one piece to a large extent... I just dont get One Piece...)....

This Show SHOULD get its OWN sub topic up front... Its very good. The story line is Decently done, The Animation IS GREAT, And now even though I am only into episode 13.....ITS lookin Much bettter THEN anything else in the Sub Topics...

I guess What I am saying is What gives anyone know why thisdosent have its own SubTopic?

Just got some info on the E7 dub, apparently to premire on Apr 15. (Confirmed by commercial with bad music on CN 4-4-04.)

From ANN
Renton's VA:
Vash from Trigun/The second Black Ranger - Johnny Young Boush Wtf? Renton is like 14, this guys voice is deep as hell...Also listed as Renton's VA is Sasuke from Naruto - Yuri Lowenthal, this sounds slightly more reasonable, as Sasuke's voice is obviously being forced one can imaging the VA might actually be able to sound like Renton .

Holland's VA: Togusa from GitS: SAC/Couger (One of my fav charachters) from S-cry-ED - Crispan Freeman. Freeman as Holland I can see, but I hope the Vash Renton thing is just misinformation. As usual the dub will probobly suck, especially if there's any hint of the Naruto dubbing people in it. But at least...no there's not really much that's all that good about this.

An interesting episode. Mostly a history lesson, but it sure revealed some very intriguing facts, one of them explaining why Holland was so pissed off at Renton right from the beginning, and why he found so hard to overcome it. Of course the basic reason for that had been explained earlier, but this episode changed the outlook somewhat.

Well, other than the history nothing much happened, really. But perhaps this was a vital episode, as it explained why they risk so much to go fetch the Norbu fellow.

well, it's that time again! Here I go
7:01 - Finally figured out who that random Military guy in the intro (radar operator) reminds me of! He looks just like 004 from Cyborg 009 and Moe the bully from Calvin and Hobbes! ;)
7:03 - rather unrefined speech for Norbu, that took me by surprise. Dewey looks bout ready to pull a coup d'etat. Fucking confident as hell.
7:05 - Doggie got demoted. Burned. Poor guy...
7:06 - That the same room Anemone was kept in in the start of the series?
7:07 - Where in god's name did that rifle Eureka's LFO used disappear to? :confused: That thing is fucking wicked! The military in this show are fucking retarded
7:09 - Norbu pwns KLFs with his barehands, awesomest part of episode
End part A thought - Norbu is the fucking man!

Hope for part B - this is going to be all flashback isn't it...
7:11 - A Coralian interaction with humans before Eureka... Sakuya eh...
7:12 - Eureka's eyes contract, instant change in behavior. They say eyes are the windows to the soul... I'm wondering if the sight of the kids changed her, or if it was 'seen by the planet' and then the planet changed her. Next line is Norbu saying: "Her birth was of the planet's will." Coincidence? I think not. Makes me wonder how much of Eureka is actually Eureka and how much is input from the planet?
Confirmed: Maurice is going to stop having Eureka as his 'mother' eventually...
714-15: Norbu pwns again. Dialog here was a bit cheesy tho.
7:18 - Is that sage bitch just going to let Dewey pull the rug out from under her? Does she know what he's planning and agrees with it or does she just trust him?
7:19 - Doggie's moving back up! :D
7:21 - second time they've focused on Holland tieing his boots. Last time was before del Cielo, this time is before the Capital... Wonder what they're hinting at...
7:22 - BOMBSHELL! :eek:
End episode 34 thought: Norbu might be even more badass than Axel Thurston.. but what exactly is he got in mind?

goddamn this show is awesome... but maybe i've just become less attentive to them, or maybe there's been less of them, but I felt that there weren't alot of 'subtle' hints or themes to this episode... that's one of the things I love the most about this show, and while the plot is good I hope they'll continue with them.

Great episode with nice music to go with the attack sequence. Got my heart beat up and my blood pumping. Too bad Nirvash didn’t join the party. So Renton and Eureka are not going to fight any more? How do they plan to use Nirvash in near future?

So Dewy is Holland’s brother. That was a shock, didn’t see that one coming. That wasn’t enough, Dewy gave us another shock that Holland ended up with the woman his brother used to be with. How did that happen? When? Where? This show has too many questions and we still haven’t seen any glimpses of Renton’s sister.

The Sages must be pretty upset by their recent loss. What are they going to do next? More importantly what is Norbe going to do with Eureka and Renton?

More, I need more…………

Ryllharu

Thu, 04-13-2006, 05:36 PM

No, Renton and Eureka got over their temporary pacifism. I hope it's permanent. In a much better way than the "We're skilled enough to not kill anyone, so we'll fight that way" argument we've all seen way too much of. Renton convinced himself and Eureka that by not fighting, more people will actually get hurt, especially the ones they care for. I've always appreciated that kind of reasoning, because in worlds like that, where a large scale war is always going on, passifism just can't work.

Never saw the Dewy Holland connection. I never even suspected it. It was incredibly satisfying watching Holland knock Dewey down a few pegs though, first time we've really seen him lose really. A really great moment seeing the sky light up, then the Nirvash swoop down. The animation seemed really good in this eps (I know it wasn't really any different, just some really attractive action scenes, a lot like eps 26).

I wonder who they're talking about in the preview. Was it one of the creepy girls, or were they talking about Anemone? I'm assuming they meant Anemone, but after the Dewey-Holland bomb, I really don't know what to guess anymore.

Nice contrast to last episode, which was mostly drama-based without much action (not that I like that kind of episode any less of course).
They certainly are giving some interesting ties/pasts as the series develops - once none of the main couples are brother/sister/cousins, I'm happy though :)

Horrible grammar/spelling/AOL talk
You don't have to have the best grammar or have no spelling errors, but do make the effort to write something that's semi-coherent and legible. If you keep posting like you hate the English language, we will murder you.

one thing i didn't like, wtf was Eureka's problem?
Well, if you watched the eps and paid attention to the dialogue, you'd know. The above posts also allude to her problem. Eureka didn't want to fight because she knew that people (especially children) would get hurt, like Maurice, Maeter and Linck almost became when she attacked their city. Eureka was afraid that there would be too many victims from collateral damage.

For the time being, the problem has been alleviated.

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?
7:03 - lol at the computer generated voice in the army defense post. Zoids Genesis anyone?
damn Doggie isn't doing to bad, flying at that low of an altitude with a huge ship like that. Maybe he should have been the pilot all along?
7:06 - they're getting all bookish on us! The Bible (but i don't know from where Dewey pulled that 'Let there be words' as the 1st command from God line... i've never heard such a line from any religious text...) and then it's a Dostoevsky reference (i love that).
What the hell is Eureka being such a wimp about? They're fucking shooting at you bitch! Shoot back!
7:11 - Anemone is fucking scary looking when she's bugging out. An upgrade eh? :)
End Part A thought: Someone please feed Eureka a can of "Bitch shut the fuck up"!

Hope for Part B - And you better eat every last bit of it!:mad:
7:15 - For someone who looks so old Dewey sure talks a hell of alot of trash about Norbu's age...
7:17 - Bombshell! :eek: I did not see that one coming in any way shape or form...
Give me a needle and thread, I'm gonna sew Eureka's mouth shut :mad:
7:19 - Renton finally sounded like a real hero, and not just some run-of-the-mill anime trashbomb. Now let's see him slice some KLFs up
7:20 - And Dewey lands a low blow on Holland! Oh that's gotta hurt! :D
7:21 - Heroic arrival. Blah. Dewey shoulda had those two Ageha squad kids pop Renton and Eureka between the eyes when they were stupid enough to open up the Nirvash cockpit...
7:24 - Dewey is pissed, and rightfully so. He just blew it big time... So why does he look so eerily confident when he goes to face the Sages?

35 Good: Dewey. Dropping plot bombshells like it's his job!
35 Bad: Eureka. God I didn't think that becoming more human meant regressing into a child...
35 Overall: Some excellent action, good music, mixed dialog, real heavy hitting plot elements. But this time I don't think I saw even one subtle metaphor or carefully placed detail or anything. It looks like they're relying more and more on the plot, animation and music and sorta pushing those small things to the side... This was still a pretty good episode, but they need to tune down the 'cheese' factor especially with some of the dialog. Thank god Dewey was in this episode...

edit - wow just read everyone elses' reactions and i certainly seem to be in the minority on this episode... guess i'm just growing numb to flashy fight scenes (they were awesome, i'll give them that) and all the heroics...
