[Anime] Psalms of Planets Eureka seveN

Quote:

I'd be interested to know what people new to Eureka Seven think of "lifting".

I think it sounds completely fine. I got the first DVD, and have yet to see the dub, but in the subtitles they say lifting. Doesn't bother me at all. I never even thought twice about it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm just annoyed the second DVD doesn't come out until June 27th >.< Oh well, gives me something to look forward to.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've been buying DVDs for years, I have hundreds. Bandai used to release monthly. Hell, I remember when Escaflowne was coming out on DVD and Bandai was doing two DVDs a month. This bi-monthly thing is a trademark of Pioneer/Geneon.

Though I will admit I haven't bought seperate DVDs in a while, since I've been mainly just waiting for the full box sets and buying those.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
