| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So, how did you like it? Overall I liked the drama feeling this re-cap had but I didn't get the fragment thing and what the hell was that about her waiting for Renton. Did they get somehow separated after Eureka 7's ending, could explain - spoiler for episode 3 of AO: To be honest, this didn't explain much of what was happening in Eureka 7 besides the obvious romance. It would be better to read the wiki if you don't remember much about the original and want to watch AO. |

| It was quite confusing and I learned more about the relationships between the characters than the plot aside the fact that Eureka was supposed to be born to protect the planet, yet that it would be destroyed if she stayed. Anyway it's nice to learn something about the protagonists of the predecessor of E7 AO as a newcomer like me. |
 |
| This is really confusing :( So i'm assuming that they got separated and promised each other that they will get back together one day. |
 |
| wasnt that how the manga ended? |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| the old series does not have those 7 fragments as far as i remember, and the ending of the first series concluded well, in fact they became together in the end so ye it looks like Eureka AO is an alternative universe or a parallel universe lol its still confusing at this point gonna watch Eureka AO until the end to see if this is really a sequel or just a spin-off |

| Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. |
| If it is they didn't exactly animate it.... |
| I found this barely comprehensible, and it feels quite scattered. As someone else mentioned earlier, I didn't get the thing with the fragments. I understand it would be difficult to sum up a 50-episode series in one episode, but I think it could have been streamlined a lot better than this. I also thought I remembered the E7 series ending on a happier note. Meh. |
| I never thought an episode with only dialogue and music could bring so much impact. I even got a bit teary. This episode brings forth an important question: - Is this an alternative ending to the original series? - Did this happen efter the ending to the original series? - Was this whole episode a recap of an alternative version of the whole series? |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Eureka and Renton got separated at the end of the manga, I guess they went with this version. |
 |
| Glad to see I am not the only one who went WTF at this episode and is :\ in general. Not sure if want. |
| this shit doesn't make any sense, thanks Jetstorm666 for clarifying that, you did a better job than this crappy recap |
| WOOOOOOOWWW~ brings back memories :> ,this was the first anime i watched afterall.............i just kept thinking the whole time while watching this ......*" TTvTT i miss your beautifull face holland!"*!!!!!! |

Jetstorm666 said: Eureka and Renton got separated at the end of the manga, I guess they went with this version. Nah, the manga is too different from the manga for that to make any sense. Especially since Scub Coral is different, it wouldn't make any sense to go with that ending. |

j0x said: the old series does not have those 7 fragments as far as i remember, and the ending of the first series concluded well, in fact they became together in the end At first, I didn't believe the 'seven fragments' bit either so I watched the last episode again to prove it wrong. But when it came to the part where Nirvash ejected both Renton and Eureka out - there were certainly 7 green particles being scattered all over the planet. However, with that in mind, I can't quite connect it to what Eureka is telling us in the New Order on how SHE divided the fragments herself whereas the last episode shows us that NIRVASH was the one who did it before her. Honestly, I'm still a bit confused so I'm sticking to Eureka's words in the Order for now. I could have seen it in a vague perspective, but who knows? As far as Eureka dropping out from the sky, it may be a symbolical thing, like a fallen angel rejected or who ran away from heaven to become a human in Earth. She did wanted to emulate the feelings of such being during the anime series. Can't say for sure in the manga since I haven't finished reading it. Oh well... |
| I presume this is a continuation of the anime and that everything will be explained and revealed in time. I do believe the 7 fragments thing may be a lesser mentioned part of the series, but was implied heavily. It fits together quite well after watching NO. It's important to note that we have no idea what is happening in AO still when it comes to the previous series connections. |
 |
| Can someone explain what that was basically all about? I got something about Eureka leaving, something about 7 fragments, and Renton promising to meet again. But what lead up to this, is there anything I missed, and how does this connect to Eureka seven AO? |

But what lead up to this, is there anything I missed, and how does this connect to Eureka seven AO? Here are the 7 Fragments...Sorry bit late to the races. From what I understand they are a part of her, but also a part of the land. They scattered at the end of the series and some time after the end Eureka realizes she has to return them in order to save the planet....but what made her realize this is unknown.

| Just watches this episode because some people think that it might be important for the events to follow in AO. It was quite confusing for me and many questions popped up in my head. Can't really say whether this is an alternative ending of the original series or not and whether AO is based on this alterntaive ending or on the "real" ending seen in episode 50... I hope the next AO episodes will make things clearer btw: this episode made me remember how AWESOME Sato Naokis music was for the original series. Especially the emotional tracks gave me goosebumps once again. Too bad he wasn't chosen to compose the music for AO. |

| I'm not sure if it was clearly stated yet or not, but I'll take the liberty to explain what exactly E7: New Order is. That is, of course, if you skipped the synopsis on the main info page, but I've added some other context not mentioned there. Rather than an anime adaptation of a manga, the anime version of PoP:E7 was the original concept. Although the first manga chapter was released before the first episode, the manga's concept itself came from the anime, which had been in the conceptual/production phase for a long time. The anime, manga, and light novels all had different endings; in other words, they were independent of each other. The endings obviously differ from one another (manga and LN being the sadder ones). PoP:E7 was originally supposed to have a sad ending; this is New Order. The series was built and written with the original intention of Eureka sacrificing herself in order to save the planet and avoid the Limit of Questions. She would do this by scattering herself into seven pieces across the land where she held distinct memories. That's the "Seven" in "Eureka Seven." Had this been the actual ending, the anime would be different starting from episode 40-something to accommodate this ending, and some may still notice the thematic buildup the anime does to facilitate the original ending (in contrast with the actual ending coming out of left field). The story goes that Bones was very captivated by and attached to the voice acting cast of the anime. When the cast finally learned about the original ending where Eureka sacrificed herself to save the planet, they became so emotional that it affected the anime staff. After some soul searching, rather than going through with the sad ending, the staff changed the ending to a happy one (which was admittedly over-the-top, but who's complaining at this point). New Order is what is left of the original recordings from the intended ending. They apparently did not keep or had not animated those scenes yet, which led them to use old scenes from that anime and why the actual viewing of New Order may been so confusing for so many people. Basically, New Order was PoP:E7's originally intended ending, though now it only serves as a "what if?" scenario. I guess you could say it was fan-service from Bones (they got to have their sad endings in the manga and the light novels). In regards to E7:AO, New Order has absolutely nothing to do with it. E7:AO is based on the ending that aired in the anime, i.e. Wish Upon a Star. (edit: as of the latest date of this edit, there is now a manga version of Eureka Seven: New Order that is currently being serialized) |

| This episode was such a mess... I shouldn't have broken my promise not to watch anything Eureka Seven-related ever again. |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| Dam I a s HUGE fan oe eureka seven I really didn't like this ending the anime origianl end was better imo the episode was kind of bad jsut a voice over of scene from the show :/ 6/10 I guess.... |
 |
| Interesting episode, quite nice take on a sort of recap like episode but it's not directly a recap which is nice. I'm not sure why it was in 4:3 which did bother me but in the end the overall episode was quite interesting and lovely! |
 |
| Damn, this would have been hella sad to have been the original ending. I found myself tearing up. I wonder if this ending would have been better than the one we got. I don't think the ending of the series is bad, but I feel like this ending has even more emotions tied to it, and feels a little more conclusive than the original one. I enjoyed this a lot! 9/10 |
| Despite how painful and devastating this ending would have been, it's a poetically beautiful ending. it would mean the end of Renton's and Eureka's story together. One would cease to exist in her humanoid form while one would die eventually never to further his bloodline due to the ending mentioning how Eureka is Renton's first and LAST love. But seriously, this ending is arguable better than the main ending from the TV show, why? Because with Renton's and Eureka's story together stopped, we would not have to see the God-awful Ao and all other forms of continuation. On God. |
