People will know I already wrote my comments on EUREKA SEVEN (2005-2006) when it was released on individual DVDs, well considering that the series has now been released as two DVD boxsets, I decided to give my overall review on the series.
EUREKA SEVEN is one of, if not the, best anime TV programmes of the Noughties. Before you start saying "Oh great! another mecha anime featuring a boy who pilots a giant robot and meets a mysterious girl!", you'll eventually fall in love with it's epic story and characters. The series centres around Renton, a 14-year old boy, who joins Gekkostate, a rebellious and counterculture group and becomes co-pilot of the Nirvash alongside Eureka, a pale girl who he falls attracted to. Throughout the 50-episode series, Renton goes from being a foolish and often immature boy to a brave and determined young man.
Apart from a few filler episodes (such as ep. 18), the series has a lot of top-notch episodes, sometimes hilarious (ep. 5-7 and 38) and sometimes heart-breaking (ep. 27 & 28). Both the art and animation is very impressive and the character designs is good, too. The music is wonderful (it will probably bring a tear to your eye). The story is superb and the characters are great (even the three kids that Eureka adpoted aren't THAT annoying).
One of the main things I love about this series is the relationship between Renton & Eureka. They are the cutest anime couple in the world. They are SO adorable together. Even though they are cartoon characters, I found the romance between Renton & Eureka to be FAR more convincing than say, Anakin & Padme (the STAR WARS Prequels), Will & Elizabeth (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies) and Edward & Bella (TWILIGHT movies). Those three couples are MORE wooden than your average IKEA table.
Three years after the series came to it's conclusion, the much-rumoured EUREKA SEVEN movie was made. But sadly, it's a re-telling of the TV series. Had the movie been a sequel or set during the events of the series, rather than a re-telling, then I would have been looking forward to it. I'm not going to buy the movie when it comes out on DVD, I'm going to stick with the TV Series.
EUREKA SEVEN is STRONGLY recommended.

Here we go this box set contains eps 26-50 of a 50 part anime.One of the best around up there with Ghost in the shell 1st and 2nd gig.By no means the longest of animes as the Gundam series is a lot longer.So to the story it follows a 14 year old boy called Renton who embarks on a jorney of dicovery. When one day a mysterious LFO crashes into his room and destroys it.When the pilot emerges he is suprised to see that it is a young girl about his age maybe a year older.Thus the adventure begins he joins up with Eureka and the rest of the Gecko State in their fight against the military.The action is fast paced with some comedy mixed in.But as with all animes that are this long the story also changes and becomes slightly darker.Which in turn leads to the hero either dieing ora hppy ending I won'nt spoil that for you by telling you the ending.In the second box set there is more action secenes plenty of mecha and a good dose of fantasy. Which is what makes this such a great anime and at such a cheap price for the two box sets well worth the money.So why not buy it today.
