This was one of those anime that I would be up watching way past my bedtime with no real understanding, or context to speak of. I was always enamored with the art style and aesthetics, not to mention the music was always awesome. I remember watching the show in a kind of mental limbo… due to the seemingly advanced themes that an average 7th grader wouldn’t understand, I often recollect the way it made me feel. Very intimate in a way that probably wasn’t coincidental, I subconsciously look for these same feelings in other anime I think and it’s very rare I find it. This video helped me understand things I didn’t know I needed to understand and reminded me, I definitely have to revisit the series!
Huh you too dude? Yeah I remember watching this until really late and only getting like 4 hours of sleep before I had to go to school. Back then anime was considered "trash" and now all of a sudden everyone loves it, I love anime because of these series, it was and still is my go to anime when I want the same nostalgic feeling like I did back in high-school. P.S. I recommend Guilty Crown and Gargantia on the Verdorous Planet simillar style to Eureka Seven.
So we just living the same life huh?
Yah man if u want to have the same nostalgic feeling try watching gundam iron blooded orphan it’s really good
1 of my FatherFigures was absolutely Tom of Toonami.
Still not sure why TH 1 of the only cool things my Mother to let me do was watch Space Ghost: Ghost Planet, and then Ghost to Coast, but it made Multar feel even more familiar than just the occasional appearance on the older HB Space Ghost cartoon as a villain that thankfully used to air regularly.
Multar was cool in a way like the dudes on the back of the bus that played Magic the Gathering, and actually talked to you instead of dismissing you as some dumb kid. Tom, HowEver, counseled and guided me with his insightful and inspirational words that grabbed the experience of life, and gave us a perspective that simplified it so that it wasn't so OverWhelming.
I feel like living through the 90s as a weeb or nerd is something you had to have done to truly understand it. When you met others with your interest, it was an awesome kind of connection with them that you knew instantly made them 1 if your most cherished friends.
Really crazy that a lot of people are actually into this anime, all I remember is staying up late at night waiting for adult swim to play eureka seven
The idea of Trapper particles being contained in the air and surfing through them was amazing, and I fell in love with the music and the story Symphonic Psalm Eureka Seven → Eureka AO → Completed with Eureka High Evolution 1.2.3 Slot machines will be available in Japan in November 2023 Now that I'm here, I'm remembering this story again.
With the “Don’t beg for things, do it yourself or else you won’t get anything” I enjoy your view on it but in my interpretation I always felt this quote resonated not with individual characters but with the revolutionary theme of the anime. The Gekkostate state embodies this idea, because together they are creating change and protecting the things they love. The Gekkostate do not wait or beg the military to stop, they take action, organised and intelligent in order to protect Eureka, the scub coral and the planet. They do it together and they do it themselves.
(Absolutely loved your analysis! I have loved and re watched Eureka Seven since it began airing and you have reviewed it wonderfully.)
Such a underrated show. It will always have a special place in my heart because it was my gateway to anime. The first love i never had
The original is one of my top 5s and well thought out. And Renton growing Into a mature version of himself was personally one of MY favourite aspects. Also Eureka learning about "feelings"
So, as a science nerd, the "limit of questions" they speak about in this series (if the Scub wakes up and brings its collective consciousness to bear), is actually a real thing. There's a concept in physics that states that if space itself contained too much "information" (quantum or physical objects), space itself would become dense enough to collapse into a singularity. Its called the Bekenstein Bound. Seeing this show from my childhood play with some exceptionally deep physics is such a damn cool thing man.
Also, I've read the Golden Bough (its a real book) and it's essentially the founding text on the study of Anthropology. It examines the relationship between human's understanding of the world around them throughout time, from mysticism, superstition, religion, and finally, science, all being ways that humans have tried to decrypt reality, but also how each society has fallen to using such an understanding to subject each other to horrendous things such as war, slavery, murder, and control through ignorance, and James Frazier, the author, emphasizes how important it is to understand these histories to prevent it all from happening again. A fitting thing for Holland and Dewey, who were supposed to be sons of the family destined to lead humanity into prosperity again, to be reading.
I discovered Eureka Seven from those old Anime Insider magazines. Then I watched it at my grandmother's house. I like that Renton starts out as a brat that was infatuated with Eureka, and over the course of the two years that transpires in this series, Renton grows up. He starts to understand Eureka better, and he matures. It's a mecha show but the robots aren't the focus most of the time. It's the growth and relationships between the characters, and effects that war have on the world. It's a truly environmentalist anime that tries to be philosophical as well. Episodes are named after actual songs, and they have an A and B side.
Amazing analysis. I enjoyed the anime as a kid but never really understood the in-depth messages, main themes and exactly what was going on cause it was so cryptic. This clears a lot of the confusion I’ve been trying to solve for YEARS, thank you!
eureka seven is about saving the world because you fell in love on it.
Sorry if the audio sounds a little crunchy at first, I had to remix it a lot to get it past the youtube copyright claim detector. I've been wanting to make a video set to STORYWRITER by Supercar like this for the longest time, so I had to do as much as I could to keep it in.
oh, I was just going to ask about that
@@aparctias yeah youtube needs to chill with their copyright system- the original upload only featured a short portion of the song already and trying to find a mix that would make it through took up my entire morning and afternoon yesterday >:( plus if the algorithm gets even more precise it might even slap me with another demonetization a few years from now and it'll be even more difficult to get past it
@@Lavapasta Were you claimed by the system in the parts where you narrate over the music? Usually if you leave it raw past a certain period of time like your opening there, it'll match easily. ~25 seconds sounds very risky to me. Hope there's no future problem with this one.
I'm so glad to see a video covering this show in depth, as it seems nobody wants to talk about this show despite it being one of the more popular shows of the 00s. Most discussions around the show boil down to "Oh yeah, I remember that show; I liked it a lot," or "That was a weird show." With the climate crisis threatening to drag humanity kicking and screaming back into the dark ages, and with people for the first time in my life suggesting that maybe we should divest from military spending, the show's themes feel even more prescient than ever.
I think that's mostly because both the movie and series that followed were considered trainwrecks. It sucked out everything that was good about it.
Anime doesn't get much better than E7, and I don't think it ever will. This show is beyond words. Really cool video; the show isn't talked about all that much anymore. Also, you didn't really mention it: but the two PS2 games are probably the only truly good extensions to the franchise, as they're both prequels that fit quite nicely into the narrative of the TV series whilst maintaining the spirit of the show's messages. Ruri and Sumner even show up in E7 episode 45 as a cameo. There's a lot I agree with and disagree with about your video, but you took a genuine stab at the show. There's a lot of merit to the way you discuss the show, more so than the other videos of the show on YT.
thank you so much for mentioning them. they should have been our season 2
@@Lancer_ Agreed.
It is good
oh yeah the anime depicted at 8:38 is Gekiganger III, a 70s-style anime that exists within the universe of the 90s anime Martian Successor Naidesco, and I didn't put in any lower-thirds text indicating where it's from because it seemed like too long of a story to put in one block of text. Gekiganger was often used as a loving parody or critique of the old 70s-style giant robot shows in Naidesco's meta-narrative, so it was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of a "traditional, hypermasculine giant robot anime" and figured that the footage would work well.
My biggest complaint with the dub is the "don't beg for things" line. Because in the original sub (at least the one I watched) the line was "don't beg for it, earn it. Then it will be granted to you." It's a much more inspiring and thematic concept than "do it yourself, or you won't get anything."
In german they say "bitte um nichts, verdiene es dir", beg for nothing, earn it yourself.
Only anime I’ve rewatched 5 times
very nice vid once again. Keep up the good work, Lava
finished my 8th lifetime rewatch of this and while looking for some soundtrack to listen to, your video popped up. Going to watch it now, but commenting before to say thanks for contributing to E7 content
I’m currently rewatching eureka seven right now so this was a wonderful surprise! Really cool video dude! You’re content is always so chill yet surprisingly confident sounding. It’s a nice balance that keeps your videos from feeling like fluff while also never coming across as preachy. Keep up the amazing work man.
I just want to say I deeply appreciate the thoughtful content and effort you've put into this video ♡ I needed someone to start a dialogue about the brilliance of Eureka 7 and you accomplished that so tastefully. Thank you!
I watched the series 4 times, once every 3 years and yes the meaning of the series changes every 3 years because my perspective changes every time. :D
This video is a masterpiece! It captures the essence and beauty of Eureka Seven, one of my favorite series ever. The creator did an amazing job of explaining the plot, characters and themes in an engaging and insightful way. I can't get enough of this video and I keep watching it over and over again. Thank you for making this! 🙏💕😉
Thank you so much for making this video. Seriously.
It's always amazing seeing videos like this about one of my favorite anime of all time. I'll always defend E7 with my entire being and im so happy to always see fans, new and old, of this series. While its had its ups and downs, it's still one of my favorite anime's, no matter if the story is everywhere. Loved your video and hope to see more stuff from you!
In all honesty the themes of eureka seven are broad and Melable so really I can see how different ways to understand them can happen anyhow
This anime is quite literally my favourite of all time. wonderful video by the way, Loved your take on this
I love The Orignal Eureka Series and ist my most Loved Anime of all time
@15:15 that's literally life. Just cause I group is discriminated against doesn't mean they wont discriminate another group. It actually makes the premise seem more realistic.
The point that I'm trying to make isn't that it's unrealistic for groups to discriminate against other groups, my point is that since the anime was made in Japan, a country that benefits from Okinawa continuing to be part of their territory, framing the people who seek Okinawan independence as villainous doesn't just fuel more racism against them in the real world, it undermines the very idea of an independent Okinawa- it's not just saying that 'these people who want independence suck,' it's saying that they don't even deserve an independent country at all. Like, you can write about victims of racism being racist to other victims of racism because racism is intersectional, but it needs to be written in a nuanced manner and not like a weird psyop.
Thank you for this.
This series has been something I've tried to watch and understand over and over again with no success until recently. This video laid a lot of things bare for me and made sense of a lot of the crazier aspects of this franchise in a concise manner that leaves me wanting to see more.
Great video man!
Just finished this show again last night after not watching it for about 5 years. I’ve seen it over 10 times since since I was about 12 and now I’m 29. When I reached the ending last night I was literally sobbing…this show means so much to me and I can’t put into words why. Great video.
I was like 13 and the episode where theEnd saves Anemone and Dominic (near the series finale) made me cry but like weeping fr
This is the first time I came across your content and for my first video I definitely loved it. I discovered this series almost exactly one year before your video and it has since become my favorite media ever, because of its aesthetic, characters, world, music and themes. I definitely agree with your statements on what made E7 great, especially since it’s ironically making the original anime more and more relevant over the years, sadly.
I do agree with how cryptic it can be for a new audience though, I personally loved it, and it made me go right back into a rewatching not even a day after having finished it. But while it was incredibly satisfying to learn more and more about this anime over time, it can make a surprisingly high number of people miss out on its themes or even drop the show out of confusion. I really wish the later content had tried to expand on these themes or premises instead but I’m still incredibly grateful I decided to randomly start watching it last year. I’m still curious about what the third movie will tell though.
Anyway, thank you so much for your video, you gained a new subscriber ! ^^
I found the opening on spotify and had to confirm with youtube that it was in fact Eureka 7 and it made me cry. We watched it as kids and i loved the anime and the meaning behind it but it was also an anime my brothers and I would watch. This video made me understand the anime better. Opening will always make me nostalgic and cry tho
I remember watching this when I was 12 and don't really understand why this is not as popular as I thought it should be, now I do. Thanks for showing both its strengths and weaknesses
Ah yes Eureka Seven, something compared to EVA many times in the past, but has been milked so much, with low results, that now its more confusing than EVA
Funny story, this show was my inadvertent introduction to EVA. I vaguely remembered watching parts of this show on Adult Swim as kid, not sure though. Years later, I decided I'd look it up and finally watch it. However, I mistook EVA for it and ended up watching that instead haha.
I always viewed this series as a "coming of age" series with extra bits and pieces. One of my all time favorites
Eureka Seven is my favorite anime of all time. I think it takes 3 watches to fully enjoy the series. First watch is weird and cryptic like you said in the video. The second watch you notice all the foreshadowing and hints sprinkled throughout ,and you finally understand some of the basic concepts you were iffy on in the first watch. On the third, you know everything. You can bask in the beauty of the story and notice its flaws and perfections.
I had the same realization after watching it several times. Now I'm on my 4th watch and I'm still noticing new things! Like I recently found out that the book referenced throughout is actually a real book! 🤯
This became my favourite anime and tye later episode sealed the deal. Just love 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Big THANKS to this! 🥰
Revisiting this never gets old. Each time I watch, the chills return, taking me back to the magic of my favorite anime, Eureka Seven. I'm hoping that there will be a live-action adaptation and it also stays true to the original storyline. ❤
Perfect explanation
I watched it around 2007 when it aired on Animax Asia.. and kind of loved it. Just binged watched it all over again and here i am.
I was like 15 when I first watched it and here at 29.
I love how even the episodes that seem kinda like filler like the soccer episode, is still so fun and serves the greater narative
This was the first anime I ever watched
And still is one of my favorites
Solid stuff. I really loved the first half with Renton figuring out how to actually think about other people's feelings, but the pacing of the second half and how it seemed to be painting in larger and larger strokes made it hard for me to finish. That and (spoilers for the end of the original series) how they left the kids behind at the very end killed me; I feel like the themes of love are centered around family and opening your heart completely to the people you're kinda stuck with, so to have the end basically say, "Love between adults doesn't ~actually include kids," was pretty disappointing.
Never looked at it this way, I always considered them always fighting so the end was them relaxing although you don’t really see it. Loved Axls relationship with the kids at the end I thought it was a nice ending but it does suck they don’t have a scene at the end together
I think eventually they came back for them and that was their “honeymoon” I remember I read it or found out somewhere that canonically they come back for them.
@@wittyshenanigans1302 I thought that was the case I was under the impression they came back for them but couldn’t remember where I saw that or read it, honestly after saving the planet eureka and Renton could use some time alone hahah
@@faust5398let the kids be kids
It’s better explained in the manga and novels, that’s just Renton and eureka enjoying their honeymoon. Did you ever notice a lot of kids love their grandparents and get spoiled to death by them? It’s like that, they’re too cheap to hire a babysitter so they dumped me on grandpa for a bit hahaha.
For real though they don’t abandon the kids, they’re just on a date or out for a walk.
Me: wants to watch this video
Also Me: has not watched eureka seven *YET* , planning on it
did you
@@gertl getting to it, eventually
Well explained. So weird to see a review of this show now. You've got a good flow and tempo in your videos and I loved the edits and the way your chosen scenes meshed with your message. I could never bring myself to watch AO after the intro. E7 is one of those shows that went deep for me. Like you, I tried to watch the Dub -- it was airing on Toonami. It wasn't until years later, while deployed in Afghanistan, that I got a bootleg copy and watched the whole thing through. Maybe it was the timing, having that show to come back to and escape in after missions, but it lives on my hard drive to this day next to Cowboy Bebop, FMA, and a bunch of Miazaki Films. Thanks again for this video and I hope you get your wish, this show was a masterpiece. 👏👍✌
Outstanding summary of the eureka including overview of the anime.
I've rewatched this series 7 or 8 times over my life and that number will grow. This anime made me feel more than any other.
Like a fine wine, this show matures with age and a lot of its subtleties made strictly for adults start to become ever more meaningful and apparent.
And yes, its still has immaculate style and looks incredible to this day. They NAILED the visuals in this series, minus a few blemishes in animation occasionally.
I am absolutely enamored with this show. It is always worth a rewatch. I watch it every once in a while when I need a deep show and time to cry.
my personal all time favourite. need to re-watch it again....
and man. i absolutely love the soundtrack. i still listen to it after a decade. thanks for this video
I always loved watching this show on Adult Swim. I never could fully understand what was going on, but the interactions of the characters and the overall messages still resonated with me.
I shouldn’t have waited to watch the video ❤ shits amazing
Well said! Very well said!
God I love how this anime is still finding its way to me even now...currently writing a fanfic on it
The whole thing works because of contrast between two different universes. Original Eureka is a living dream, while life of Ao is harsh and he can only adapt. Also yes, scab coral are literal aliens in the setting.
Wow and beautiful.
Eureka Seven is wonderful and I agree that I do learn something new each time I rewatch it.
Your very was beautiful and full of love and precious memories.
I felt this was a solid analysis of the themes, and to use Mandala for the End Slate was just *Chefs Kiss*
I think it's time for another rewatch.
oh man i absolutely LOVED Umurangi Generation so I'm very happy someone noticed that
Watched this my senior year of college and it will always have this melancholy, nostalgic tinge to it because of my trepidation at having to take the next step after college. Also, just looked up the bluray and it’s actually affordable. Haha, I sold my complete dvd set for an absurd amount of money back in 2013 or so.
I'm here in 2024, just finished my 3rd times whole-rewatching Eureka 7, and finally understand how exactly the story is.
I loved this
I've been meaning to rewatch this since I've been listening to it's soundtrack again. Criminally underrated show and will always be in my top 10 best anime.
It's a masterpiece
Lol it's just 5am and I'm watching this after having a dream about the show😂 cant believe I watched this 17 years ago! Awesome review, I definitely need to rewatch it!
English translation of the Spanish text:
Thank you for this video, your analysis of this work is very interesting. It could be expanded much more on the topics you discuss with many nuances. What is clear to me is that the message it conveys is very beautiful.
I binge watched this anime and I love it so much❤️
I rewatched it last summer, I liked when I watched it as a kid but I recently realised knew i was missing so much. It was very nostalgic but I didn't notice all these themes as a kid, it's jumped up to being one of favourites, definitely in my top ten anime of all time
Hi,
I found your channel via
"Why AVATAR: The Last Airbender Still Holds Up - (HD Remaster)"
"Why Book 4: Balance is the Best Season of Korra"
and immediately subscribed.
Your indepth analysis scripting editing and choices of music are excellent(especially the combination of GlitchMob and Florence was very fitting during Korra)
I accidentally stumbled on your channel again when I searched for Eureka Seven, thank you for your explanation, I rewatched it 8 years ago and it was always a little nebulous to me.
I just wanted to say that. I hope you'll gain a lot more subscribers.
I remember watching this show back in 2014 this show was my childhood
Favorite show of all time and likely never will be surpassed. I always identified with Renton and his journey.
This is one of my first animes ever watched I freaking love this drama/action anime
Its coming back with a new show!!!
Thank you for posting this. Eureka Seven is criminally underrated. It should be counted among one of the greatest animes of all time. Not only because of story/characters/messages of anime are great but the background music of the anime are genius level. Naoki Sato's background score is the greatest anime music of all time in my view. If you don't believe me, watch any vital scene with paying attention to background score. For example when a wounded Eureka jumps from Gekkostate trying to find Renton. The music of Eureka Seven demands its own video.
Thank you for educating the public on how military is the #1 pollutor
I remember watching this series 3 times, first was the art that made me feel "i've been there" but no understanding to the story at all, second was to understand the story, and the third times was for the emotion
Loved this and samurai 7!!
This will forever be my number favorite anime
how do you feel about Hi Evolution 2 basically retconning the original series out of the canon by having Eureka destroy the universes from the original series,movies,manga adaptation and light novel?
It's wild and insane, but I consider it to be in its own separate set of universes so I'm fine with the decisions. My only real problem with Hi-Evolution 2 is that it shouldn't be called "hi-evolution 2" because it has so little to do with the first and again, takes a bonkers left turn into the alternate universe situation- in my mind it's "the anemone movie" more than any sort of sequel to Hi-Evolution.
I’m a year late but great video! I really loved Eureka Seven in my teens and this makes me want to revisit it.
As for AO I feel like in retrospect it’s easy to see certain attitudes in the original that show a more neoliberal attitude hiding under the radical aesthetics. Take for instance the show’s homage to the computer tech industry in Jobs and Woz. The former especially being the Californian ideology incarnate.
This doesn’t necessarily detract from the message of the original, but it does make it seem like the writer’s room that would cast a sequel as part of a tech startup styled high gloss NGO feel a little less surprising.
Thank you for making this video! I feel like this show doesn't get near enough praise. Rewatching it after not having seen it since I was in highschool (I'm almost 30 now lol) opened my eyes to so many more themes that I didn't necessarily pick up on before, but like other comments said, it seems a lot of those themes actually stuck with me even without realizing it. I can't speak highly enough about this show, I mean yeah it has its flaws, but it just touches on so many themes that anime don't usually touch on. Not to mention it's pretty mature in the way it goes about it. Also wanted to note that the similarities with NGE are insane, it definitely draws heavily from Evangelion while having its own spin on things and I really appreciate that.
Finale some one with the right Words to such a great series. Eureka seven Was my first and still favourite show and AO can't live up to to the original und honestly it feels like an early concept that wasn't full thought through.
Facts. 100% agree!
Now that I'm somewhat mature (also 22 yrs old), I want to watch the whole series again.
Revisiting this video because I've been in an E7 mood
One of my favorite animes
The theme's, the heart of the VA crew, the music were all perfect for its time, it was a convergence of a kid wanting to pilot mechs with the crew of his dreams. He got his wish and found out 2 things, 1. He found the love of his life, who didn't really notice him until she did then, they not knowing for sure spent the rest of the series not saying their feelings until it truly mattered. 2. Be careful what you wish for, Renton got his wish, to join gecko state! He found it was the drudgery of the life he left behind combined with the terror of combat, which he truly did not realize until the end of season one. Horrified at the death he and gecko state, his heroes, had committed left, going in a walkabout to find himself, bumping into a man and wife who desperately wanted a child but couldn't have one. He was wholeheartedly accepted only to find they were going to destroy gecko state and take Eureka away. Renton made a choice to leave this happy, loving set of parents, the wife crying her heart out as he left to be not with the gecko state once more, but protect the young maiden he fell for. All the while Holland, leader of the gekko never noticed until the last that he, the younger son of the king, was not her chosen love, the boy was all the while pining for a woman long gone, ground a woman that loved him in return.
It has 7 love stories and two love triangles
Hilda and Matthew,
Eureka, Holland and Renton,
Holland and Talho,
Moondoggie, and Gidget,
Dewey, Dominic, and Anemone,
Misha and Keggo,
Rey and Charles.
All the while the gekko being AWOL military with a stolen craft, being surfer bums lfw and surfing the waves and being their own mini families. Renton still being a child himself was placed as a father, being an orphan himself struggles with 3 vodarak kids adopted by his love in recompense for a horrific deed. Even at the end he struggled to win her over, not knowing he had her as she had him when first their eyes met.
I love mecha series, but eureka seven has different spot and top 5 anime for me. The best part for me is how they depvelop Eureka and Renton character (and anemone too). I like How they make eureka from cold blood soldier to a mature woman (and mom)
As a kid I vaguely understood what the show was trying to say.
People would complain about the 2nd half when Renton ran away from the Gekko, but it left the deepest impression on me and now I see why.
Kid me viewed it as a love story with strong anti-war messaging and something about the environment -with mechs. Eureka Seven instantly became one of my all time favorites despite not fully understanding it.
Standalone Complex takes the cake for cryptic moral themes imo.
2:46 talking about the collapse of reality. Hi evolution meaning collapse of the scrub coral’s dream. Eureka is part of the scrub coral HiveMind. Dewey was trying to end the dream all along. Holland was trying to keep the dream going for his life and world as he knows it. Explains why pocket full of rainbows ending was quite weird
What an anime ahead of its time.
this is one of the best anime i ever watch
This show was the absolute best!😊
This show was my childhood
Used to watch this on animax during early 2006 it was used to fav one
i love this anime.. so deep
It's my first time finishing the original series after... 15 years?
Now I understand the show a lot more after growing up.
I introduced the show to my wife after seeing a figure of the Nirvash Type 2 during our trip to Japan, and we blasted through the show in less then a month.
Funny how that works, considering what the show is about.
I'm not the same person I was when I was a teenager. Instead of getting frustrated with Renton during the first half of the show, I just laugh at him for being naive, and in a sense, how naive I used to be when I was his age 😅
Cool
Eureka 7 was the first anime I’ve watched on adult swim. I remember staying up past my bed time to sneak into my living room to watch the new episodes
