if you don't like cheese in your anime, this one has it just right and then some

you can easily forgive the supposed "cheesiness" of the series due to its amazing originality.

even if you don't like mecha all that much, this one can change your mind!

sure it's a series that's structured around the growth of a boy and his first experiences with love, but i haven't seen that many anime series that have done it as well as eureka seven has.

if you're into comedy, that is found in abundance - from a snicker to hysterical laughter.

if it's action you crave, eureka seven throws you some, leaves you wanting more, then satisfies you on the next time out.

as many people say on various eureka seven forums, character development is excellent, and i couldn't agree more.

visually, it's not in a class of it's own, but it stands out pretty damn good. "slick" is probably a good word for the visuals, and that's what makes it so good.

"audio-wise", there wasn't a single moment that i got bored of listening to the characters' dialogue and the background music. the opening and ending themes, were nothing short of excellent.

during the lows, the characters and the music let you feel how deep the situation was, and during the highs, you could feel your chest thump like mad.

the only thing i could say that soiled the audio experience somewhat was the Renton's English voice-over. Johnny Young Bosch tried a little too hard to voice Renton. stick to the Japanese version.

for those of you that want a worthwhile piece of entertainment give this one a try. those of you who love it will love it, those of you who hate it will hate it. either way, it's worth the time you will spend to experience eureka seven! whether it be to praise it or to criticize it. obviously, i thought it was great =P
