I've read part of 2001 Nights the manga (one of the best Clarkian sci-fi graphic novels I've ever read—so worth my time), and I've heard about the anime adaptation. What'd you think of it, Jex? I heard that Kanada was involved in its production?
It's hardcore pandering without a doubt, but I don't really see anything wrong with the "characterization." She's clearly not thrilled or comfortable with being in a bikini. It's hardly different than the sauna scene from the game.
Akihiko is pretty much the only choice for feMC really. I mean, the other dude is also a vulnerable bad boy who just needs some loving, but Akihiko is so much more swag. And having seeing the romance route for Ken, I remember it being hilarious.
Every day is great at your Junes.
If 7th were here, he would say Aegis.No, Mitsuru is the best option.curse you, lack of same sex routes
This is pretty much exactly how I feel about Eureka Seven AO at this point. It has devolved into something needlessly convoluted and aimless. But everyone can keep blaming Elena if they want.
As much as I'd like to see anime ditch high school for a while (older characters, please), I don't think Jormungand is the answer.
Yeah, it's supposedly a year after the game. Perhaps she changed pretty drastically in that year.
I feel their relationship is very well done. They feel like real sisters and it's entertaining to watch for that.
Very good episode. Pretty much all the other episodes have been building up to this and it had a very good conclusion. Music was good, it looked really nice.
Well, Naoto somehow becomes a bikini model in order to save Yuuuuu.
No way, is that really what happens?
Wasn't the re-air in chronological order?
I'm basing that entirely in that picture of her. lol
But it's the order with less impact
But I see he already saw it in broadcast order, so it's all good.
That's because she isn't a character. /hasn't watched the show

Finished this, thought I should write a post about it, but I don't care enough to waste anymore time on it, so I'll make it short.
A below average show with above average production values, so I guess it's average then?
Why is this show popular? I really don't get it. Usually I can see the appeal of popular shows even if I don't like them myself, but here, there's nothing.
The premise is good, I guess, although everything is really unconvincing, and the emotional scenes have zero impact. The characters are bland, boring, uninspired, didn't like any of them. The way the story is presented is too slow, a lot of the scenes were unnecessary, probably trying to make me get to know the characters, but the characters really don't feel like people at all. They each have one thing that characterizes them and that's it, it just repeats itself for the entire run. Like something out of a shounen show, except this is not a shounen (unfortunately). Maybe if it was a movie it would flow better and have less boring moments, but as a show, it really suffers from having to fill out 11 episodes. The last couple of minutes in episode 16 of Toradora for example, had more emotion in them than the entirety of this show, and those scenes could also be described as melodramatic, but it was done in a good way.
The show really looks good, the animation is consistent and the art on model like 95% of the time.
That's the reason I scored it 5/10 on MAL (without the production values it would be a 3 or a 4), but now, thinking about the show, maybe it should have been lower. Maybe I'll think about it some more.
