He has better ways to describe butts than I could ever hope to accomplish.
Pants are overrated, anyway.
So, Episode 39 of Eureka 7. Random soccer episode out of nowhere. Either way, 10 episodes to go. This should be fun...

It's illegal for young girls to wear pants in the future. Only hot pants.
I thought Aoi was wearing some latex pants for a second there. Why is the teacher wearing pants?

You sound caught up, so you know that's not true.
At least some of them are justified for acting the way they do. However, there are definitely complete monster villains that are straight up evil like Hody.
Not in the traditional sense of a way. They either become comic relief or comes back in not so evil kind of way and even become temporary ally at some point.

We just get some backstory on Arlong and the reasons why he did what he did, while also getting a fishman villain with absolutely no reason for being a dick.

"Who would want to see so much skin on an old lady like me?" or some other dumb anime thing.

Was my guess close?
I would like to hear some theories behind this future.
I remember hating that episode the first time I saw it but supposedly there are a number of people that like it as it serves as a breather.
Doesn't sound like a very realistic depiction of pirates then.

So you don't see her underwear.
Sounds like other dude will get explained sometime down the line if the pattern holds!

Just like Gargantia then.

Nah.
The captain of his crew was enslaved by humans and the guy died hating them despite bringing a little girl back to her village and then getting shot by the marines.
It's not true though. In fact, most of the pirate crews are relatively close to real pirates in how villainous they are. There are just a few anomalies like the Strawhats and Shanks' crew.
Dio is like the poster child of tragic backstories.

Nope, we got his full backstory there. In fact, the "wham" line of the arc
after being asked "what did humans ever do to you?" was "absolutely nothing." It was just racism born from seeing the hatred of other fishman.

That's pretty awesome. No bullshitting around.

Having personal justifications for your actions and being 'evil' aren't really contradictory. Good villains will generally have some reason for acting the way they do, rather than just being evil for the sake of it.
You can still be 'evil' even if there are reasons that lead to you acting the way you do.

Delicious virtual tears?
While I can almost agree with this, part of me just really doesn't like Sae. I'm not bullying Natsume! I like her but she has unrequited love for the least best Hidamari. Every other character in the show is amazing though with Miya being top rank naturally.
As good a reason as any!

They are quite delicious!
For some reason I was separating motivation and justification more than I should when I posted that.

marriage and money/power?
Knew that much, didn't know if it delved any deeper into why he was so twisted.

He is no longer relevant character after AO arc so probably no need for that.
Was jealous of Spike. Also had tragic backstory in that he grew up in the slums.
You forgot Zouken too.
