Eureka Seven Ao Review
"Eureka Seven: AO (エウレカセブンAO) is the sequel to the original mecha anime series Eureka Seven. It follows the 13-year-old Fukai Ao in a futuristic Okinawa who, as the son of an alien woman known as Eureka who disapeared 10-years earlier, seems destined to follow in his mising mother’s footsteps when he activates a strange, humanoid-shaped robotic fighting machine and enters into a a battle against alien entities known as “Secrets”. From there, Ao joins an elite group of fighters made up solely of children, the only ones who can operate the mecha, in order to find out what happened to his mother and to help defend humanity. The mystery only deepens, however, when a strange shape-shifter calling himself “The Truth” arrives, kidnaps Ao’s childhood friend Naru, and wreaks havoc on the world.
Eureka Seven: AO is admittedly made up of finely fluid and detailed animation, richly colored worlds and creatures, and spectacular mecha action sequences. That is where the good ends and the not so great things begin. As the story progresses, the sci-fi quest and mysterious backstory surrounding the alien creatures, the Secrets and coral “Scubs” becomes more and more dense and unintelligible. It’s difficult to follow where the writers are trying to point us. By the time we reach what is the final episode in this first part offering, a “surprise”, the connection hasn’t really been made, it’s been pulled right out of the air…When all is said and done, this being my first time watching this sequel to Eureka Seven, I’ll save final judgment for the series on the whole until I have seen it in its entirety. It shows a lot of potential." Blu-raydefinition.com
