God, watching the original now makes AO extra insane.

here's another sucks

 

[Knux-Future]

To be fair Shinji wouldn't have thrown a punch...

he'd just run to that train station.

So there's that.

 

[Kaizer]

"Summer of love", "Seven swell effect"? Who names these things, hippies?

The Hippie/Surfer-vibe permeates the whole series.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

This show is the definition of "sucks"

 

[BatDan]

Did I see Mechonis in that flashback?

 

[MetatronM]

I would say Eureka 7 is a more like a light hearted Evangelion with more love story and most of the psycho-drama and symbolism removed.

I don't really see how it has anything in common with Evangelion other than having a teenage lead character and mechs. Which describes just about every mecha anime ever.

Also, Eureka is chock full of symbolism, allegory, and references. It's just to much more obscure and eclectic stuff (anthropology! literature! quantum physics! environmentalism!) rather than heavy-handed Christian symbolism.

 

[Ultratech]

Well, that was interesting.

Boring Seven time. Guys you can skip the next 52 weeks and come in and get the total plot of it last episode...

I guess... I already watched it once (or was it twice? I'd rather not remember.).

First half is alright, then quickly spirals into WTF territory and other BS towards the end.

 

[Astral]

Lmao did those girls just say that in his face?

 

[zero_suit]

Looks like we found another drinking game!!

 

[Jintor]

Life sucks gramps

The Hippie/Surfer-vibe permeates the whole series.

Honestly, that's fine by me. It's colourful

[The Frankman]

Yup, and I'm not to sure about the year, but I think it was 2006 or something.

Yup, 2006. I remember because Mets were blowing away the NL East.

About Renton's voice:

Yuri Lowenthal had at one point been contracted by Bandai to provide the English voice for Renton, but after recording thirteen episodes he was replaced by Johnny Yong Bosch because the director of the English dub felt that his voice was too low for the character. All of Renton's lines were subsequently redone for consistency (although Yuri Lowenthal can still be heard as Renton when Holland is watching a video at the end of episode 7), though Bosch himself admits it took him a while to nail down the voice.

Weird.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

It sucks

"ey yo bitch...I can hear yo ass. Like, right here"

Man, I want to kick this kid's ass. I want to see Shinji kick his ass.

 

[Jintor]

 

[The Frankman]

ALL YOU SUCKS ARE BELONG TO HIM.

[joe2187]

[Schadenfreude]

Damn teenagers and their dreaming.

So much of what happens in E7 feels Eva like to me especially the super obvious twist regarding the

Spoiler

bio-mechs

. The overall plot doesn't copy Eva, but it steals so many elements from it. AO even more so. And yeah, I guess I should have clarified and said it lacked all the religious symbolism.

 

[Future Foundation]

Y'know, I think his town sucks.

 

[Seven Force]

My grandfather would've whipped my ass for talking shit like that

 

[jph139]

The sucks I don't mind but the backtalk crosses a line.

 

[Knux-Future]

Gramps: You kinda suck at everything bro.

 

[MetatronM]

How can anybody hate Renton after a line like that?
