I'm not much into romance or mecha, but I don't have anything against those genres either and I read such great reviews for this series that I decided to not pass the opportunity in watching this.I unfortunately let the fans get to me. Whether you liked this show or not, a lot of reviewers will point out that the first half is fairly slow, I could deal with that, believe it or not, I thought the first half of the show was better (not a popular opinion, and by better I mean OK at best). As the series goes on to the second half, the plot get's more interesting, and also, makes less and less sense. This is probably the show's biggest problem. Things such as strange fish-like monsters summoned (somehow?) out of no where killing random people, some strange purple goo that hurts people, an old guy who has something implanted in his chest and is able to control the mechs known as LFOs, and more unexplained things that will easily infuriate viewers. The main cast of characters are in a group known as the Gekkostate, a lot of the times, you won't really know what the characters are doing because it is so poorly explained. Most of the characters aren't that good, some aren't so bad. The main character Renton can get annoying with all his whining, but he isn't all that bad seeing that he has some likable attributes. Talho and Holland were actually decent characters as the series went on. Eureka on the other hand has hardly any personality at all (typical Rei clone), half of her lines are comprised of "Oh, Renton" or "Nirvash, please!", or her just crying and then staring without emotion. The kids that Eureka takes care of are extremely annoying. The main antagonist Dewey Novak' motives aren't really that clear and what happens to him at the end isn't explained. Almost all the other characters serve no purpose other than just being there. Take Dominic and Anemone, they only exist to fill time and to add another couple to the story. I hear a lot of people say that complaints like this just means "you didn't get the message man". Yes, there were themes of love and family, but it was hard to care seeing that I head a love-hate feeling towards Renton, while Eureka was very boring. The only characters I cared about were Holland and Talho and that was pretty much it. I ended up skipping a majority of the second half of the show just to watch the end. That ending... was so terribly cheesy, I won't say anything to avoid spoilers but it was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in my life. On the other hand I have no complaints about animation, it was very well done and it was hard not to like, the voice acting wasn't bad either (except Eureka who got annoying sometimes). I'm not saying this is one of the worst anime, but I certainly wouldn't call it a good one. If you enjoyed this series, that's fine, but I really can't see how.

Allow me to begin by saying this - the beginning of Eureka 7 may not necessarily show it, it may seem more average than extraordinary, but this program is brilliant. I implore you, whoever you may be, to watch past episode 10. Perhaps, like I did, you will fall head-over-heels in love.The reasons I fell in love were these - deep, realistic characters, striking originality, beautiful animation, and fascinating relationships, specifically the slowly, subtly growing romance between Renton and Eureka. Eureka 7 may be full of strange, fantastical, half-explained things, but its realism is still striking. What I mean is this - by blending genres seamlessly, it has all the subtle emotional shades of real life. Its balance of characters is likewise perfect, and the animators never stoop to laziness or shortcuts. In the background of every episode, variegated skies glow and strange landscapes stand. Additionally, with the exception of perhaps two or so episodes, this anime has no filler - every episode is meaningful and develops plot or relationships. Another positive is the choice of which scenes to represent, which never seems to fail (and I think is instrumental in the success of the show). To finish my raving list of positives, I add this: even the ending and opening themes are beautiful.I assure you, Eureka 7 is the best romance-action-adventure-drama, the best coming-of-age-slice-of-life-mecha-comedy you will ever see (smile), and perhaps even the best television show, live or animated, ever made. It is a show sparkling and shimmering with all the complex, difficult beauty of real life, shining with the light of hope and idealism, filled with all the sorrow and happiness of first love.

Eureka Seven is a story about a boy, a boy who is bored with his life and town, his name is Renton Thurston he is 14 years old. Renton Dreams of one day he can become a member of the Gekkostate a anti-government militia and counterculture collective led by Holland Novak. Then one day Renton spots A giant Meca robot called a LFO (Light Finding Operation) flying around his house, it crashes right into his bedroom, this is the first time Renton meets Eureka. Eureka is a young mysteries girl about 15 to 16 years old with light blue hair and a pale completion she pilots the very first LFO ever found The Nirvash typeZERO. That same day Renton meets Holland of the GekkoState and finds out Eureka is a member of GekkoState. Holland asks Renton if he wants to join GekkoState, after a while of thinking Renton says yes. The members of GekkoState are as followed. Holland, Talho, MoonDoggie, Hap, Gidget, Matthieu, Hilda, Stoner, Ken-Goh, Mischa, Gonzy, Jobs, Woz Eureka and her adopted kids Maurice, Maeter, and Linck.

Eureka 7 is by far the best anime i ever watch! It got almost everything inside such as romance, science fiction, adventure, drama, action and so on. The story talk about a boy name Renton Thurton who wish to get aboard gekko state and his wish really come true when Nirvash crash in to his house, then he meet a girl who is piloting the Nirvash or as they say 'Typezero'. So, as he get on to gekko state he finally realize that gekko state is not as what he thinks it is. The anime series contain 50 episodes. It's too bad that it don't have a OVA or a movie. I would love to watch it if they will make a movie about it. For me the anime is by far the BEST ever!
