Audience Member One of my favourite anime series of the 2000s I recommend people to see this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member While the beginning of the first season is slow, and the characters start to get on your nerves, once you get to the last few episodes of season one, you'll won't want to stop watching. With great voice acting, compelling story, recoverable characters and their relationships, and an overall exciting and enjoyable. This is truly a anime classic for all ages and should always be remembered. (Also, one of the best anime series openings ever). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Eureka seven is the greatest anime series I have ever seen. Its beauty, its humanity, its depths of philosophy and meaning, the way it manages to be funny and tender and bloody and exhilarating and psychedelic while always maintaining and building its incredibly multi-leveled plot and the relationships between its characters--it's simply indescribable, and one of the very few anime series that I consider all-time classics. It explores the cost of human indifference to other life forms and to humanity, military philosophy vs. religious philosophy, the real price paid by the kid pilots of giant war machines, the meaning of motherhood, the ancient legend of the Killing of the Divine King, and still has time for some pizza, pratfalls and girl talk. It's not as poignantly heart-wrenching or as cinematic and stylish as Cowboy Bebop, it doesn't have the smartass confidence and witty flash of Samurai Champloo, but it has so, so much more, from classic mythology to deep ecology to true romance, and it's a kickass giant-robot adventure that's also overwhelmingly about the power of friendship, empathy and love --and the terrible price of their loss. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This series requires some patience, but it absolutely pays off. --and by "some" I unfortunately mean kind of a lot, because I honestly didn't even like this series until about 20 episodes in. Which is kind of a long time to wait. Still, it retains a high rating since the pacing issues are due to a slowly unfolding plot and are thus no longer much of a problem upon repeated viewings. That being said, this is a wonderfully character-driven series with an equally engaging story (once you actually know what's going on). I was happy to discover that my patient viewing eventually led me to a new anime favorite. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
