Eureka 7: AO
I've been watching this one over the past couple of weeks (finished it tonight), but I saw the first few episodes a while back when it was still newish. I feel like I should've left it at that. Really, what the heck is this show? Why did the writers go in the direction they did? It's just so f'n stupid to me.
The main character is, really not all that great. Naru? Ugh. Truth? Really? Really?
I remember reading people's dislike of AO and thinking it could not be that bad. I didn't want it to be as I really love the original series, but maaaan. So disappointed. So very disappointed.
I had planned to make this a long post detailing every little thing I dislike, but meh, I'm sure I'd just be repeating what I'm sure many others have already said.
At least it's nice to look at.
Edit:
What a coincidence.
That outfit, while terrible, is still better than anything in the sequel series.
Weird thing is, I watched episodes of Eureka Seven AO when it was airing, not having watched any of Eureka Seven.
AO kinda bored me to tears and it just got away from me.
I stopped when
that girl got abducted? Or floated away? Or something? It's been a while, lol
I watched even less of Captain Earth, but it gave me similar vibes where it's gorgeous to look at and there's mildly fun things going on, but there's just a thick invisible layer of mundane over the whole thing and I couldn't get into it. Even the amazing mech transformation sequence couldn't sway me.
