some one hacked in and stole like i have said before and released them to the public, they are ok subbed, but they are not edited or timed. so expect sad quallity, search mininova for it

The quality is fine. Don't believe what he says.

The timing is fine, however the grammar / spelling is lousy at some (many) parts. Though it's not that big a deal; it's quite watchable.

The real problem that I ran into was text stacking(if that is the proper term), or the complete lack therof.
Sometimes when multiple things are being said at the same time, the subtitles will cover up rather than stack above each other.

I'm aware that the voice acting is pretty well-done, but I'm not sure what level of assholery is required to actually tell everyone to mispronounce an english word intentionally. Let alone the level of assholery required to miss it when someone accidentally forgets to mispronounce that word.

People watch Eureka Seven? Its one of the worst anime I've ever seen, when I saw it when it first aired like 7 months ago or so. Or whenever it was. The animation and music were good, but the storyline was one of the worst I seen in any Anime.

Can someone tell me why this show appeals? >_< No sarcasm, I'm seriously interested how people find it entertaining. Wondered. I must've missed something in the first 2-3 episodes.

because you need to pay attintion to the details or the plot just slipps you by at the begining, and it really picks up alot when the first direct antagonist is intresduced. and i mean ALOT

I guess E7 is those kinda of anime where you can either 'Love it' or 'Hate it' sort... coz I got a few friend that doesn't like E7 too... but as for me i quite like it!

I just grabbed the first DVD and watched the first episode. Not happy.

To summarize my experience: I've already seen the first episode of Evangelion

For me the characters were interesting. Music was alright too.

Seems as though people need instant satisfaction nowadays. One of the great things about E7 is that it takes its time to get the main story going and explain all of the characters backstories. Yes, there are some similarities to Evangelion but this is not Evangelion. It just uses some of the same types of mystery as Evangelion. The story really picks up around the middle of the first season somewhere around 12 and then it never stops moving. Remember this is a 50 episode series. That is a lot of time to fill and this show does quite well with not giving us filler episodes. I only remember a few episodes being unneeded.

I don't understand how someone can say this is, "one of the worst anime I have ever seen," after just watching the first two or three episodes. That just doesn't make sense. If you don't like it, then don't watch it but you have no right to say it's one of the worst anime you have ever seen.

Don't forget this anime won the award for best television series at the Tokyo Anime Awards and its coming from Studio Bones. Those are the guys that brought us Fullmetal Alchemist and Wolf's Rain.

Yea, the beginning starts off a bit slow but it DOES pick up. When I watched the first episode or so I was like "man this is just crap" but when I watched a few more episodes I started to love it.

I'm sure most of you have seen all 50 episodes of E7 by now. If not, then this new fansub group may be what you are looking for. Seraph-Fansubs have released episode 40 subbed. They claim to be a fast and quality driven group who won't make you wait weeks for a release. Only problem is that they are using the stolen scripts. Their just giving them better timing and more cohesion. Check them out if your tired of waiting for Nanashi. I've seen every episode but I will check out episode 40 to see if the subs are good enough to replace the Bizarro-Nanashi ones.

Yes....and I've seen the first episode of Gundam....or was it Ideon.....or Macross....or about a dozen robot anime that came before Eva.

Get over it. Most genre anime start with the same premise and go different places with it. Untrained boy climbs into robot and kicks butt (oh and there's some mystery involving the robot and/or boy pilot) isn't a new premise by longer than you have been alive. But people don't seem to think Eva is a clone of other series because it had revolutionary animation (for the time) and did a couple new things. And because it's only (relatively) recently been widely available in the US, as opposed to the robot shows of the 70's and 80's, many of which are still not available here.

Eureka 7 hasn't cloned Eva so much as it has started with the same premise as shows that its writers have been watching their entire lives. It goes different places with it. All the "Eva-clone" clamoring that comes up every time a new robot series airs really sickens me. Makes me want to shout "Gundam-clone" or "Macross-clone" or "Gigantor-clone" or "Mazinger-clone" every time Eva is even brought up out of context.

Not just the "untrained pilot" thing.

Berserk. Conflicting feelings about his father. Strange girl beat up and unable to pilot. Not knowing what happened during the fight until afterwards.

It reeked of Eva in so many ways.

Where in eva does his sister, grandfather play a major part in the story? oh thats right they dont, because they dont exist in eva. Also since when was his father dead and the hero of the world in eva? they all play major more so his sister more than his grandfather, but they are both major charaters, and its not that Eureka can pilot it, she only cant pilot it with the Compac drive in there, once thats out, she can pilot it fine. also, when was nerv ever EVER an Anti-Government group thats total purpuse was to stop what they where planing on doing? The only thing thats the same, is the some what cliche begining that like alot of people have said have been used OVER and OVER. Its hard to try and point out all the reasons in just the first season if you have only seen the first 5 episodes without spoiling too much. Just watch through ep 13 and if you still dont like it, then sell your dvds on ebay

And Eva reeks of Ideon in so many ways. The fixation several people have with Eva is a bit much.

Why even bother arguing with them? Just ignore it and move on. I definitely love Eva more than anyone here, but how in the hell is the first episode of Eureka like Eva other than the fact they both feature mecha? That comment was so ridiculous I don't know why anyone even bothered to respond to it.

Because to not like somthing because you are ignorant is bad. We need to fix so that it is no longer ignorance, becauce there is not excuse for ignorace right?

I will let you say that about Eva, but you and i both know,that i love it just as much as you . :p

You guys probably don't care but Seraph-Fansubs admitted they took the leaked Nanashi scripts. Their work is solely editing and timing.

Sry, but I already posted that earlier in this thread.

aku, I was talking about watching the first episode and how rediculously similar it was. I only have the first DVD and haven't seen any more than the first episode. I was simply pointing out the similiarities. I happen to love EVA.

I'm one of the few people who doesn't like Eva, and I happened to really enjoy E7. The only real similarity that stuck out to me was


The characters in E7 are more likeable, the plot isn't complete religious/philosphical mumbo-jumbo, and Renton's dad is nothing like Gendo. If you want a rip-off of Eva, go watch Fafner.
