It was also interesting to see Holland (Crispen Freeman) and Dewey (Kim Strauss) as a team, if ever so briefly, seeing how they were never really shown to even like each other in the show. He’s also kind of an ugly crier, which is definitely something Renton inherited from him. Not only does finally lend a voice to Adroc (courtesy of the prolific Fred Tatasciore, known mostly for his portrayal of Hulk in the Avengers cartoons), we also get to see him as both a parent to Eureka and a human being who is hurt by loss of life and wants to save as many people as he can. Oh man, oh man, oh man, did this go off the rails.īut first, let’s start with the one major positive of this film: the prequel segment.
#EUREKA SEVEN AO DUB SERIES#
And having just seen the first of those three, I can tell you that this film is a much-welcomed return to form for the aspects and motifs that helped the original series to become such a stand out, in addition to finally answering long-sought questions viewers have been dying to know more of for eleven years AND reuniting us with long-forgotten fan favorites whom they can fall in love with all over again.įor the first thirty minutes. Suffice to say these later installments weren’t exactly received nearly as well as the original series, so the best option seemed to be going back to the source, with three new movies to tap into what made the show such a fun and unique ride all those years ago while also being something brand new for those seeing it for the first time. It was a massive critical and commercial hit that BONES has been eager to recreate.īut they just couldn’t leave well enough alone with E7, going on to make a feature film retelling of the show, which was just…what the heck?Īnd even later, a proper sequel titled Eureka Seven: AO, which was…what the HECK? Being animated by Studio BONES, one of the best in the biz, the show had an intense action to go with its trippy mind effing sequences and heart-wrenching drama as it mixed its themes of rebellion and following one’s heart with a toe-tapping soundtrack. For those not in the know, Eureka Seven was an anime airing from April 2005 to April 2006 (2006 to 2007 on Adult Swim in the states, which is where I first saw it) that centered on the love story of 14 year olds Renton Thurston and Eureka (pronounced Ehl-reh-kah) as they combated oppressive governments and multi-colored alien coral squids with the aid of their ex-military-friends-turned-hippie-commune named Gekko State, giant robots on surfboards, and their hearts. After over half a decade away from the airwaves, Eureka Seven returns to animation in the first of three films that reboot the original story.
