I could not follow the creators intention, either. I would have preferred a more happy end, it just doesn’t feel right to end it like that.
As I heard of an new Eureka Seven anime back then I was quite happy, but it wasn’t a satisfying experience for me at all.
I don’t think they will work on it, maybe the manga has a more likeable end, anyway thank you for your comment and opinion ^^

Thx for your opinion.

Ah yeah I also needed two attempts to finish the show.
Later I rewatched most of the episodes to get a better understanding, which partially helped in rising my first impression.
But in face of the rushed half assed end, it was totally in vain for me. Too bad that they kind of betrayed the idea of the first show.
Hell they even didn’t even bother to do give the new characters a good end, Im really sadabout this kind of end.

I skipped to the last few episodes and then read about the rest on their wikia. I only wanted to know how eureka and renton ended up at that point. Not my best idea but oh well. I went back and watched the rest after because the wikia said eureka appeared a lot more.

Ao series RUINED the end scene on the originalfor me.. I loved how they left it originally a nirvash allowed them Yupp return to their planet too live.. But if the way Ao ended was the correct way, it means they were actually sent back there by Ao…

Yes, I realize that I over thought this, but out still ruined it for me (I know that at the end of the original that it showed renton on the clothes as a kid, I still think this way)

my biggest problem is the generic ending of Ao. Through the whole series Ao was depicted as a self absorbed kid. But at the end, mere seconds after he was fighting his dad for his own selfish reasons, hew becomes selfless and sacrifices himself.. The hell? And at that, eureka and renton had their characters developed on the original so that they would never willingly let anyone sacrifice themselves for their sakes, but they both walked away and let Ao, their own son!, sacrifice himself for them. All I gotta say is I hope that on the supposed new series this year, no more good parts are ruined..and I won’t say I won’t watch it to keep the goods thoughts alive, I’m too stubborn and I like to know what will happen next.

Yeah it’s just sad that everything turned out like that in the end.
They ruined the old show partially and also messed up the sequel.

I would have rather seen something with the old characters in their world
instead of this dimension hopping crap.

They erased Eureka’s kids 🙁

Unfortunately it was like that, not the kind of sequel I want to see again 🙁

Ahaha indeed, maybe because he was something like Renton’s father in the show.
Well, it was odd that Renton spoke like Holland, but the voice is without a doubt very cool.

I also can’t get over how Renton grew up to become HOLLAND of all people. What the heck? I guess Tomoki Kyoda (the director for both series) has a huge mancrush on Keiji Fujiwara (Holland and Old Man Renton’s VA).
