Which Kenshin dub are you talking about? Because the TV series' dub is excellent, though I've heard the OAV dubs are crap...
In any case, all of us true fans of good quality Anime in all its aspects must learn to cope with US marketing and realize that they're only in it for the money. My suggestion is, read up on your Anime news, download Winamp and watch ShoutCast TV, where they have a whole array of anime streams playing 24 hours a day; download the shows in Japanese with the English subs if you must because you won't find them dubbed; or simply go to YouTube and watch them for free whenever you feel like it (NO SCHEDULE!), without commercial interruptions or need to download.
Best of luck!
P.S. To flame me for this just proves you are too young either Emotionally or Physicaly to understand this Anime anyway.
i still think the last 5 episodes were the best
Physically? Ha ha ha!
Ghost In the shell sucks i dont know why they dont want 2 put that E7 is so much better than that crap
1:30 its too late 2 put E7 but i guess i have 2 stay up
its worth seeing any ways but that is still bs.
im glad there going 2 put Samurai Champloo back on its a good .
P.S. Canada doesn't "suck", it's just another landform on this planet with the same type of humans, only stereo-typed, except maybe less ignorant (no complete offense ;o).
The japanese version of E7 has much more emotion, as with almost all animes. Though the dubbed version has a good voice actor for Eureka, her voice is almost mesmorizing. Anyways, if your a romance buff and are willing to stick it to around ep. 26 or so, then you will be rewarded. Awesome series, BONES did a great job and I hope they intend to make a movie.
P.S. IF THEY DONT MAKE A MOVIE IM GOING TO KILL THOSE BASTARDS!!! THEY HAVE TO SHOW ME WHAT HAPPENS AFTER!!! PLZ!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!
I love this show! Visit my website, it's the very first US FORUM about Eureka Seven. If there is news about the show, you'll find it there!
They better bloody make a movie lol. Just to see what happens.
P.S. Evangelion was a realy f**ked up show

SMILEYS
And god damn, the only reason why this anime series can kiss my ass is cause the people who made it, only made 50 episodes! It's so sad!
Their better be a movie, any one know if the rumor is true or not?
stuff, and anyway, most Americans stay up to that time just to watch porno,
emotional cartoons don't matter to them.
And thats most of america.
plus they've already missed a whole chunk of the show, so they don't understand most
of it now.
Still, I really Like it.
BEST ANIME I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE
&
KENICHI YOSHIDA is professional,excelent ilustrator
Seriously, this is not an anime that you'd want to miss.
I'd even go and say that it's better than Full Metal Alchemist (ending-wise, plz dont burn me!).
hope somebody says something...
Anyways i'm american too, kinda.
Pendejo.
Hem...
He he...
it's true that e7 doesn't have that much actions...instead it has depth. but when it does come to actions, shows like bleach are not even in its league. just watch episode 49, the graphics is amazing.
R3>E forever.
PS episode 23 is my favrourit. it really teaches you a lot of thing.
that show even made me cry
For those seeing a relationship between this show and eva, your right it dose have that feeling to it, but your reasoning maybe off a little (the hole would rest in our hands is what gives it the feeling, mixed with some mecha.. but besides this small similarity nothing else even relates... well maybe what the type zero says at the every end... but youll have to watch it to understand)
My over all oppion of this show is that it was good, im not a fan of shows involving kids (0-16) because of natural maturity, kids maturity dosn't grow on them as fast as the plot moves... they could have made Eureka and renton 16-18 and they would have fit a more reasonable age range. Althow i did like how they showed Renton to look more mature in the last EP. This being my only problem ill rank this show as a 7 out of 10. -1 for age being unreasonble of Renton and Eureka, -1/2 for an 99% closed ended show (rearity for such shows usally they are alittle more open ended.) and a -1/2 for the ending to have happend so quickly, however it did flow well with how the rest of the show flowed; This being said, the show did save itself from a lower rating in my books. no show will ever get a full 10 out of me, do to the fact that i have yet to see ALL of what anime has to offer. :-) in ending a little quote from the show.
(Don't ask for it, go out and win it. Do that and you'll be rewarded.)
I just saw the ending...
Several Minutes Ago...
THAT...
WAS...
THE...
BEST...
DAMN..
THING...
THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE...
10/10
I saw subbed japanese version.
But I like to keep on schedule.
But seriously...
This Will Touch, Even the Most Hardened of People.
It relieves you, of any stress, you ever had.
and in the end...
You Feel Like You Can Take on the world...
I was very depressed last year...
I didn't know what to do...
I really, was down...
But Then I saw this show, in english,on Ep 15(Human Behavior).
I really got hooked...
So I stayed and whatched them.
Every Week.
Then after seeing Ep 26(Morning Glory).
I was completely Blown Away.
A Couple Weeks later I got a laptop.
And I Just Downloaded Them From There.
But I Kept To The Schedule.
Whatching One More every week.
Until Today...
One Year Later.....
It Ends...
This Show Has Changed My Life...So Very Much...
And Am sad to see that it has ended...
but happy, it has finaly...ended.
:}
(They Better Make A Movie, And A Good One)
P.S would anyone mind explaining why the JAp. versision has a photograph at the end and the English version does not, Umm maybe they held it back for a MOVIEEEEEEEEE!!
just saw the last episode last night, great stuff. I've been looking to see if they were gunna make a movie everywhere. It was a little sad that it ended but I really hope they have a sort of aftermath thing, just to see how everyone ended up. By the way, do you think eureka and renton will ever see the children again. I mean, their family and they jst accepted renton as their father.
Is that true???
Better Enjoy It...
So when they compare it to the Eng One, There Is A BIG Difference.
I saw the english one first, It was awsome, Until i saw the jap one.
But Its still ok.
And thats why everyone hates his voice, the english actor
forces the High voice, he also plays ichigo from bleach, i think.
um the ending had left very few questions... except if the new human cities were built ontop of the shell that grew around earth... how did the cities servive the fall when it disappaired? Given that this is an anime it probably will have to be taken on face value that the cities were gently guided to the ground below them by the coralens.
As for Renton and Eureka we know that they will keep searching for bell forest. providing that Renton's grandfarther and the kids wernt taken by the coralens as part of the 50% of humanity that they were to take with them.

How hold was Eureka when they found her because nobody can agree on her age.
*SPOILERS*If you pay attention in the last episode at the end, (after it says 1 year later) it says Eureka is 16 years old on the card Axel is reading.*SPOILERS END* Eureka Seven is definitely the best anime I have ever seen. Very romantic, pretty much the reason I was drawn into it. Eh, I think you guys are bashing the dub to hard, I like both, but I prefer the dub version of Eureka Seven. I think most of the voices in the English version are better. But that is me, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
i find infact that it set my anime standards unfairly high and i have trouble enjoying other series becuase they just arent like E7
at any rate, its an epic story that anyone who is'nt dead inside can fall in love with in no time
and i know the presentation of the limit of life within the plot scored major points with some people
oh yeah, the other thing, thumbs up for big robots
i saw one episode of it on YTV one night and could'nt bring myself to finish due to rentons voice
but nuances stayed with me and i ended up DL'ing the japanese series with subs
way better all around
english voice renton sounds like a midget on crack and eng voice eureka sounds way too old, for example
-Matt
Nice forum, it look really good,but I forgot my password.
Hee hee...
I CAN FLY!!!!!
This is a genuine masterpiece.
Out of ALL the anime I have watched in these many years, Eureka Seven is my all-time favorite, hands down.
Why?
The characters connect with you. Especially if you have empathy and sensitivity. As the series move on, the characters develop even more.
Action, humor, romance, drama, unique plot, ideas, and setting, and of course, mech scenes all combine to form this masterpiece.
Music? Perfect.
Ten million thumbs up. Eureka Seven definitely fits among Japan's favorite anime list. Looking around different anime sites, I understand why this anime is at the top. I can't get enough of it. I'm terribly saddened that it ended, even though I was genuinely satisfied with it.
Watch it. Even though I finished it, it's all still fresh in my mind. All 50 episodes.
The English dub on Adult Swim doesn't come remotely close to the quality of the original Japanese version of the anime. To be honest, the English version kills off the goodness of the original. That's why after watching Episode 01, the English version, I felt like throwing up.
Again, you must watch at least half of the series, JAPANESE version, to get into the whole deal, and you won't regret it. This series is one of the best. For me, the best, but for others, top 10 at least.
I was particularly impressed with the many themes of evolution that run through the show such as the way the plotlines expanded and got heavier as the series went on, the way renton, eureka, the nirvash and even maurice all grew both physically and as characters bit by bit before our eyes (even in terms of how they are drawn each episode). If only other animes could evolve as subtly and beautifuly as E7 does, it really is an astounding achievement. epic in every aspect you would want an anime to be.
add to that, cool, mysterious mechs and a charming love story that really does disarm even the most cynical of slush haters (i.e.=me) and you have one of THE best series ever in any genre- anime or otherwise. The ending gave me an amazing feeling and like everyone who has watched it, i am waiting eagerly for a movie.
ps: i dont believe in dubs. you should only really watch things in their original language with voice actors that were cast by the CREATORS of the source material, instead of some punks that were dragged in off the street with no understanding of the characters that sound like theyre reading the lines under duress.
p.p.s: i wish ray=out was a real magazine...
AND IT'S GOOD NEWS!!!
All the info is at: www.eurekaseven.co.nr
Man, we are that much closer to the continuation of E7.
-Matt
If you guys like Eureka Seven so much why not check out the script to E8 at www.eureka8.co.nr . at this point eurekasrenton only has about half of it completed so far. One more note forgive ERs spelling I don’t think that he has much time to do any error correction.
Thanks!
Except that there were only 50 episodes..
;_;
sure hope there will be a movie
I am a patient man tho, ill wait if i have to, i just wish someone would stop doing the proverbial beat around and tell us ONCE ANF FOR ALL if there is going to be a movie!!!
some of my favs.
Full metal alchemist watched all
Full metal panic watched all
Bleach just 60 eps
Gundom wing watched all
Wolf's rain watched all
Eureka 7 watched all
i hate ghost in the shell
the thing is i can't stand it
and when will they show more bleach ???????????????????????????????????????????????
wtf no bleach is like no B-Day
1..2...3..................more bleach now bye bye
XGamechiefX
I really like Eureka 7, and I am a guy that doesn't really like anime cartoons!!!!
Some episodes even made a couple of tears come out!!!LOL
But really this is a really good show!!!!!
They should really make a movie or a second part!!!!
It is a very Heart wrenching and Philosophically deep storyline.
I can see why some people might not understand it or not even like it.
Though it honestly comes down to taste and intellect, yet I personally don't understand how one could even remotely compare it to junk like MST3000, granted stuff like MST3000 is one long running joke that people tend to miss out on and is not supposed to be intellectually stimulating, but more along the lines of butt and fart jokes.
However Eureka Seven is not even in the same ballpark, the story itself is dealing with a lot of Japanese Cultural Philosophies- including Buddhism and some form of Christianity but only on the Philosophical end, and Historical marks that still rage in Japanese Anime such as references to WWII.
It deals with how Families are torn apart by War and Government misdeeds.
How Racial cleansing is evil.
How brain washing in any form is wrong and the injustice it does to the one brain washed, and the Psychological ramifications it has for that one.
How Love and Family no matter who or what we are, are the utmost important design we should be after.
It also shows that the seemingly Good and Evil sides have both Genuine mantras and reasoning behind there crusades, and neither is really wrong in what they believe, however it is the way they each use there belief to subjugate the other and in their disagreements wage hate filled war and fights that hurt Everyone.
And in the end serve no ones best interests.
That the only thing that conquers all is Love.
-That is at least what I and my mutual Eureka Seven friends saw in it.
For those that have willing and open minds, and those that have a disposition towards Philosophy, this Series is for those types.
It is not I have found for those that are Sycophants, Warmongers, those of a callow nature, and those who do not get what philosophy in itself is... let alone understanding the many different disciplines out there and those referenced within the Series.
Only thing that bothered me were the kids, mostly since they cried every dam minute.
It ended kinda fast, but i enjoyed the ending it leaves me to wonder what happened to every one.
I would love for a prequel to come out with Eureka and SOF.
in my opinion, i thought the dubs were done nicely and i like Bosch as the voice actor for renton rather than the japanese voice actor.
it could just be that my native tongue is english but still.
anyways, this is pretty much my favorite anime.
just finished watching the ending on adult swim twice and a few more times on youtube.
i've watched the whole series through about 3 times.
it never gets old because it's just so darn awesome!
i keep hearing they're making a season 2 or a movie but it might just be rumors..
just saw last episode again and it makes me sad i want them to come back :'(
I've heard rumors of a NEW season AND A MOVIE.
Is it true because I'd really like some closure because after i saw all of it I needed to see more.
If it is true can I have like a link that's prove of the new season or movie.
We need people for a new season or a movie
answer, please
Do you know if there is a new season or movie???
I don´t read what you write.
There is a picture of the image are renton and eurekas son
dai sato says: It is a film give e7
but there are many people who love this series...
personaly i would say this anime quite entertaining...maybe boring for someone who love action anime - simple minded story (no brain) like
naruto/bleach...
but hey... this anime got huge awards...
Eureka Seven won multiple awards at the 2006 Tokyo International Anime Fair, including Best Television Series, Best Screenplay for Dai SatÅ, and Best Character Designs for Ken'ichi Yoshida.
[8] Ken'ichi Yoshida, the series' main animator and character designer, also received an individual award at the 10th Animation Kobe Awards in September 2005.
[9] The series also won an award at the 20th Digital Content Grand Prix in Japan in January 2006.[10] At the Anime Expo 2006 SPJA Awards, Eureka Seven won the award for Best Television Series, and Best Female Character for Eureka[11].
Anime Insider voted it "Best DVD Series of the Year" in 2006.[12]
but despite those award about design and stuff..
the key of success in eureka is...
the way of the story goes...
i mean the genre..
Bildungsroman (novel of self-cultivation)
a novelistic form that concentrates on the spiritual, moral, psychological, or social development and growth of the protagonist usually from childhood to maturity.
Bildungsroman usually contain the following course:
The protagonist grows from boy to man or girl to woman.
The protagonist must have some reason to go on this journey. A loss or discontent must jar him or her at an early stage away from the home or family setting.
The process of maturing is long, arduous, and gradual, consisting of repeated clashes between the needs or desires of the hero and the views and judgments enforced by an unbending social order. This bears some similarity to Sigmund Freud's concept of the pleasure principle versus the reality principle.
Eventually, the spirit and values of the social order become manifest in the protagonist, who is then accommodated into society. The novel ends with an assessment by the protagonist of himself/herself and his/her new place in that society.
The character is generally making a smooth movement away from conformity. Major conflict is self vs. society or individuality vs. conformity.
There are themes of exile or escape.
this is why i loved this anime...it's an anime with a simple story about a boy..and become a man...to protect eureka the one he loved most..
The series also covers other more personal themes such as parenting, and family, along with a very innocent view of puppy love/love at first sight from Renton and Eureka.
Identity and protection play a huge role for Renton and Eureka, as both of them say, "I am me" in the series multiple times, and Renton has sworn to protect Eureka.
Continuing with themes addressed in previous series, responsibility and guilt manifest most explicitly with repeating the phrase, "You're going to carry that weight." The series works these themes, as well as the theme of growing up and change, into the journey of Renton Thurston.
(all from wiki)
EUREKA rocks!!!!
cant wait 4 the movie....!!!
