The first time I learned about Eureka 7 was as I was watching Adult Swim one or two years back. I didn't find it all to great because of the English voices and some other things. Now after some amount of time I got back to the series and from then on, it just grabbed a hold of me.
Renton Thurston, the main protagonist, is fourteen, he is not liked by many of his school mates, both his parents are dead, and the one thing he likes to do is slipping from his grasp. Throughout the series, he not only meets and very quickly loves Eureka, a very unemotional and aloof girl, but gradually develops from being a kid to an adult.
Eureka is Renton's (one would say) girlfriend. She is not human, she belongs to the Gekko- Go (An anti military group) and the military is trying to destroy her kind which is attempting to co-exist with the humans. She knows nothing about human affection so she has no idea for the first 20 episodes how much she loves Renton and vice versa.
The members of the Gekko-Go are very unwelcoming to Renton and often make him do most of the chores around the large ship. Holland, the worst of the crew members, is the captain and usually beats Renton up for no reason, eventually driving him out of Gekko-State. Yet as the story progresses, you begin to appreciate Holland for what he does and for treating Renton respectfully.
The entire series had its moments of laughing, crying when something bad happened, crying when something good happened, astonishment, and so on and so forth. This series is one of the best anime shows I have ever watched so far and if anyone has any suggestions for another, please do tell me.
