Eureka SeveN is the rare anime that not only is enriched by the homages it made to great shows, it actually significantly increased my appreciation for the referenced shows. This is incredible. This is how to remember love.

@IKnight: cheers for clearing that up!

@Sasa: good to see you enjoyed it! One of the upsides of watching the show over such a long period is that the deceptive seriousness and darker aspects weren’t too overwhelming. Some scenes were really quite shocking, even for me - something I never expected from a ‘cool’ mecha show. Interesting theory on the ending though - to be honest I’m not sure I understood it myself!

@Ryan A: Anemone’s character was built up very well I think. At first I thought she was just nuts, but it was great to get into her head and have her personality explained.

Surely, it was indeed a great series and I loved how it turned out to be the complex series with strong background that I expected, despite its many weaknesses. What I did not expect, however, was that watching E7 was somewhat painful despite its supposedly childish premise. I think I ended up taking the story very serious and became sucked into the drama and the emoness of the characters.

My favourite character? Talho as well, although I liked her nearly from the beginning.

About the end: I always somehow had the impression that the image both of them at the lake is some kind of illusionary image - and they have ‘died’ like Renton’s father and sister have died in the process of saving the world.

@lelangir: I’m not sure when I’ll find enough time to watch all fifty episodes but I’d like to revisit it again sometime. You’re right about the ref board scene though - I was literally on the edge of my seat for that scene, seriously.

@usagijen: I’m sure you’ve read this elsewhere, but E7 is easily on of the top five of new shows in recent years. The problem is, as much as time flies when you’re watching it there’s a lot of time involved! I hope you find opportunity to check it out though. ^_^
