Fuuuuuck this show is twenty years old now? Goddamn it.
I never even heard of this show but it looks rad
it is really good! it was also the subject of an unfortunate semi-controversy a few years ago.
one company did a kickstarter for a dvd release, unaware that discotek had picked up the rights for bluray. the dvd release has a ton of newly-produced extras too, so the bluray came out a long time before it, too.
to the dvd publisher’s credit, though, they did buy copies if the br and send it to backers, and a couple of months ago, the dvd also turned up. i assume they lost a lot of money on the whole thing, but you can’t say they didn’t do right by everyone.
(i was one of the backers, having discovered the show while writing the a-z of 90s action cartoons)

I gave Eureka Seven a go both when it aired on Adult Swim, and later when I tried to marathon it during a long recovery after a hospital stay, and neither time could I really make it through. I think there might be a tipping point where it comes together a lot more than I just didn’t make it to that point.
The world-building, the look, and the style of this show is really something special, though. Even the very concept of air-surfing mechs kicks ass.

It doesn’t really come together, it’s kind of exactly what it says on the tin, for better or for worse.
I do think it’s extremely funny there’s a scene where the grizzled leader is risking death fighting to ‘give the next generation a chance’ and he’s like, 29 at the start of the series and 31 at the end lol.

I loved Eureka 7 but I think it’s fair to say other shows have done different aspects of its whole deal better.

A friend and I am currently on a Treasure Island kick due to watching Black Sails, and apparently, as adaptations go, the most book-accurate is the 1978 anime. Don’t know yet if that’s the case, but the opening is certainly enticing.
