Eureka Seven
on: July 07, 2006, 09:29:14 pm
So, this here Eureka Seven show started up a couple months ago on Adult Swim. It's basically a mecha show along with some sort of... skateboarding... in the sky...  :blah: Anyway, it started off kind of lame; the main character seemed like a pansy and things were just goofy overall BUT, then the first big plot twist happened and it's started getting good since then. It's apparent that there's a whole lot of stuff yet to be revealed, I can just feel it lurking right under the surface :D. I'm sure some of you lot have already seen it by perfectly legal and legitimate means and I'll bet Mongoose at least is watching it currently. So, who's seen this? Who's watching it now? And why do they pronounce 'Eureka' so retardedly?

My bit:
The thing that finally hooked me was finding out that Gekko State is not in fact some merry band of rebels, but rather an ex-murder/oppression/terror unit. Eureka mowing down civilians FTW. Also something is up with those LFOs considering that one bled when it's arm was cut off. That Anemone girl freaks me out as well.
Yeah, anything that's already been shown on Adult Swim mark as a spoiler. Anything else... just don't mention except in the vaguest sense because I KNOW I won't be able to avoid highlighting the spoilers. kthxbye.

EDIT: Okay, why can't I put spoiler tags? It's telling me I don't have permission. :wtf:

meh, the show is just too ****ing generic, and the skybording robot thing makes it imposable for me to take it seriusly.

The fact that they all ride surfboards in the sky, the main character is 13-14 years old and in a world with adults and million ton death machines, and the lack of any real reason for the fact that they're all fighting/any good storyline just makes the show double a plus stupid in my book.

Your definition of quality and mine are quite different, then. That's just random ****.

random ****? :wtf: have you watched venture brothers? it has ongoing multi-season long plot elements, charicter development, it's _not_ aquateen-spaceghost-brak-perficthair-birdman-sealab which are all the same show relying only on randomness for humor wich I will agree got old about two years ago.

it seems random because it's out of context, watch the show.

Maybe so... I've noticed there's that one book that they blur out the cover of 'cuz there's a naked chick on it, but I'm surprised that they would edit out the blood and such considering they showed Evangelion with all the gore intact (AFAIK).

Seems kinda silly for Adult Swim.

Then again, they did edit the hooker scene from Outlaw Star...DVD dubs ftw.

thats not all. They are showing Pee-Wee's Play house reruns. I think maybe that is a little too far.

I was deeply disturbed by the latest Pee-wee trailer with him arguing with the his hand puppet...  Iserious hope this is just a BAD JOKE on their part (like Croc vs Shark)...

Anyway I only saw part of 1 or 2 eps, looks liek it has potential but I can't get into it ATM.

As for the wimpy main character he can't get worse than Shinji Ikari (ultra wuss of the Megaverse). Akito Tenkawa from Nadesico came close, BUT he grew up and turned into a bad ass (Nadesico movie Prince of Darkness).

No, that's Pee-Wee.  You'll have to watch it to understand.
