Who are you?
Also, this made me hungry:
Oh my god.. that Unagi Donburi made me soooo hungry. We made them the other night at home, threw some avocado in that shit too! :9 I'm going to little Tokyo tomorrow to have one for lunch!!
See... This is in my queue - but what's going on with this show? I'm a mild mecha fan, but a sucker for good stories and good animation. I'm hearing mixed things. Some people are losing their shit, others are saying different things. I never saw the original Eureka Seven. Would you recommend AO?

I'm jelly.
Why do most people think Japanese food = sushi.
While I don't think the original is perfect, it's infinitely better than this sequel series.
It's the best secret anime of the year. Please to be watching this anime very soon?

Eureka Seven AO 14 is amazing in all the right (wrong) ways. I hope it continues in this direction, because every since like episode 8, there's no real reason to even try to go back to anything resembling the first few episodes of the series.
The purest kind, of course.
If you haven't seen the original then I'd recommend that you do.
If it's on Crunchy Roll or something I will.

it has suspiciously deep messages interlaced all throughout the seemingly simple premise.

As seen in the Eureka Seven AO hybrid disc OVA preview:
Seiyuu jokes all day, every day.
Oh such trolls.
On that note!

At this rate, I'm probably gonna be reduced to a pile of emotions by the end of this show.

No wonder you're so miserable.

Tell me about it. Although I love sushi, I'd probably take a hearty bowl of salt ramen almost any day over sushi. I feel sad knowing deep down inside, there are probably people here on this forum, and all over the world who have never had a traditional Japanese ramen. Like a big ass bowl of hakata (made from pork bones), or kotteri ramen. Nmmmmm MMNNNngguiewjl and I go crazy when my wife makes tonkatsu!
:/ I need something good to watch. And the problem with this is that whenever this question is asked it's always met with the response "define good".
is this just common knowledge now?
I've been in this thread for, like, 3 hours and barely knew who you were and figured it out.

You guys really should watch more jdrama (or asian angst drama in general)!
Yeah. Toronto is alright for that stuff, but living in a small town... well, it's the type of place that will have a Chinese-Japanese combination buffet. lol
Just look at the other reactions to episode 14. I suppose if you're looking for something "good", then AO fits the bill. lol

But, they are usually too long in episode length.

I guess they're an hour instead of half an hour... but just imagine it's a 20ish episode anime. lol

No thanks, I get enough cheap drama from anime. I can only imagine how much worse the live action stuff is.
What? How so? I'm still on this train. I just refuse to believe it's canon so far cuz it's dumb bullshit.
Plot twists don't break suspension of disbelief by ignoring all the previously established rules of the work. "This character that looked completely innocent was actually the main antagonist" or "the hero was actually fighting for the sake of evil" is completely different from "the resolution to this dead serious, fully grounded detective drama is that the killer was a magician that killed the victim in his dreams".
Sorry but I'm a true believer of E7. Not this dumb idiocy that has retconned the original series so far. Granted, they can save themselves but I don't know how they're going to do it.

Anime logic, when dealing with a harem that thinks you are gay.

[Eureka Seven Ao] - 14
I would really enjoy reading a comprehensive summary of all the events that happened in this episode and how all the story elements revealed so far interact with the overall cannon. Heck, I'd like a comprehensive summary of every episode that's aired so far as I'd really like to take all the shows storyline, world building, silly politics and crazy character development on-board in one sitting.
This was an exceedingly Un-Go episode of Ao, which is for the best really because those happen to be my favorite kinds of episodes.
In summary, this show is needlessly convoluted and needlessly stupid. I am still uncertain as to the story they're trying to tell or what this series is even about. However, I am still enjoying it but not for the reasons the creators intended.

Not everyone has the power to watch anime on wikipedia (or take a cursory glance at ANN).
When did you found it? Cuz I feel as if we may have founded it at the same time.

When the first episode aired. I believe I wrote a number of paragraphs back then and my opinion remains unchanged.
Well, that's not entirely true I suppose, the show has added about twenty different plot threads since then.

i think the top left one needs markingI'd bet that dance in my blood probably beat you both to it.
Anyways, have faith. The god of bingo watches over AO.

Judging by he enduring popularity of those character designs I'd have to lean towards genius, or at least, very talented.
I know, right? I mean, who doesn't know Sawako's name?
That's not cool, duckroll. Don't do this to me.

So they finally get the premise pilot stuff out of the way. On the one hand, I appreciate that the first episode was a troll and she doesn't learn anything from her experience with her butler, but on the other hand, as a 12-13 episode series, having a third of the episodes where the protagonist is a horrible person might not be that great an idea.
Now that it's all out of the way, I assume they'll get to helping people and she'll be less selfish... although, I also assume that the final episode will be the most epic trolls of all time. Or at least something on the scale of Gintama. I can only hope anyway, otherwise, I'll be disappointed.
Also, Dresden posted this picture earlier:
Which of course ties in perfectly with this image from the end:
spoiler pic from end of episode
It's obvious and hokey, but I liked it, since it was so clearly didactic and a big learning moment for the main character. I almost want to believe that it's a parody of some children's cartoon, based on how in your face it was.
I think I like this show now. Even though I can academically understand the intent of the slow start, I'm ready to just see where it goes when it actually gets into its groove. Should be a fun ride anyway.

Eureka AO 14 again
So I totally forgot to mention the fanservice. This episode had this shot - spoiler pic - which is a direct reference to the original episode. But it just felt so dry and lifeless in the context of what was actually happening in the episode that I didn't even care.
In the original E7, that image is iconic and is an emotional climax for two characters. Here, I'm trying not to laugh at what is going on around this fanservicey scene.
I never thought I'd be one of those "the Prequel (trilogy) is ruining the Original (trilogy)" people, but I think I'm starting to at least understand where they are coming from.
At the very least, where as someone like Geneijin raged over Aquarion Evol ending shitting over the original, as someone who knows nothing about Aquarion the episodes of Evol that I watched worked on some basic storytelling level - even the one where they
- the last four or so episodes of AO doesn't even reach that level for me.

That the series is pretty much stupid with the exception of Eureka and Fleur?
