Amazon.com: The adventure 14-year-old Renton Thurston began when he flew the Nervash Type Zero mecha and joined the crew of the Gekkostate come to a belated conclusion. The filmmakers have so many plot points to sort out, they resort to extended Morris-the-Explainer scenes: when Renton encounters his long-lost sister in Episode #47, she spends nearly 15 minutes filling in the back story. While she's bringing Renton up to speed, Colonel Dewey launches his campaign to annihiliate the Scub Corals, even it means destroying the universe. Renton, Eureka, her adopted kids, Dominic, Anemone, and Holland join in the climactic battle to prevent the destruction of the cosmos and create inter-species understanding. Director Tomoki Kyoda pulls out all the stops, unleashing some beautiful, prismatic special effects. The eye candy helps to balance the exposition, but Eureka Seven was more entertaining in its first season, when the story focused on Renton's efforts to establish his identity as a crew member on the Gekkostate.

An amazing series Eureka Seven is one of the most remarkable coming-of-age sagas in any medium.
Renton Thurston's painful journey from bratty teenager to confident young man is brilliantly told in the format of a rousing adventure story and a highly unusual romance. Just who *is* the pale, quiet girl whose only name is "Eureka?" Renton's odyssey to find out leads him across the world and beyond in the most remarkable anime series I've ever seen.
Eureka Seven's unique world is slowly revealed as Renton impulsively joins Gekkostate, the highly individualistic crew of the renegade airship Gekko-go. But only gradually does he come to realize that Gekkostate is much more than a band of eccentric pirates. As they run from their own shocking past toward a future in which the existence of the entire planet is on the line, Renton is forced to grow up fast -- and bring Eureka along with him -- if humanity is to survive.
If you're new to anime, Eureka Seven can hardly be surpassed as an introduction to the best of the genre. And even if you're already an anime fan, you won't find better writing or more subtle plotting, or a more richly-detailed background for a powerful story, than this. But be warned, when it's over you'll be saying that fifty episodes isn't nearly enough. Highest recommendation.
farewell to a great series this is one series you hope thier is a OVA.it never lost track on what they wanted to show in the series.that is of coarse to show how both Renton and Euerka grew. It ended on a happy note,so that it good.the only proplem I had with it, was it did not show what happen to the grew of the Gekko state.not a huge deal I think, but it would have been nice if they did.If like Anime,this is a series for you:) enjoy!!
Awesome By Far the best anime I've seen!!!!!!!, the story was superb, the twists and it left you in tears near the end, forcing you to chew on your keyboard/Remote from the Suspense! you will love it !!!
The last 10 episodes were just magnificent and I cant even count the amount of times I was on the verge of tears (ep 45 especially) While the show was slow to start none of those episodes were wasted. The quality of the character development for Eureka and Renton is just staggering, even the kids in the final eps. I haven't been as pleased with a show as this in such a long time, and I really think it represents the absolute best in anime. Great story, fantastic characters, great writing etc. This seriously is the type of series where the word "timeless" comes to mind.
