Yeah, it is.

And someone on /m/ posted a translation of the text that Yaraon put up with those pictures.

quote:

The new character designer for Eureka Seven AO is the Ore no Imouto guy and the show will have a primarily female cast. Story summary:


The setting is "Earth" in the year 2025 A.D. The story is about Ao and his friends fighting against monsters known as Secret. "Generacion Bull" is a private military company in the business of defeating Secrets, and they have assembled IFO (Intelligence Flying Object) pilots with great skills - all of which are girls since only females can pilot IFOs. Ao is the only male with capable of piloting IFOs and he is the only guy in Generation Bull.

The first new character shown is a 16 year old girl from France called Flair. She's the leader of Team Piped Piper, and sees Ao as a rival. The second new character is a 15 year old girl from America called Elena. She's a geek girl and little bit of a klutz, also a member of Team Piped Piper.

Edit: It's Infinite Seven... Eureka Stratos?

That sounds like they've managed to get rid of basically every single aspect of Eureka 7 that was interesting or unique.

That's quite an impressive feat. Not in a good way, but still.

Well, at least it being apparently set in a different time-line / universe means that it won't ruin E7 proper retroactively.

The really stupid thing is the premise for Eureka 7 would make an excellent relationship comedy/character drama setting - futuristic extreme sports and counterculture youth movement? Filled with references to surfing culture and music?

If they'd had a 26 episode series of just sky-surfboarding and sci-fi DJ'ing with a cool soundtrack, it would have been excellent.

I'm hoping that this takes all the expectations coming from that synopsis and pulls a Madoka on them, specially since the director has worked on things that aren't outright terrible.

Nope, I'm pretty sure it was confirmed a sequel of the TV series. Personally though, I wouldn't give up on it just yet it's still early and it sounds like a description of a small part of the show.

It was originally said to be that, but these now plot summaries sound like anything but a sequel to the TV series.

That sounds like a horrible troll to me. Besides, they've already called the Nirvash (in the manga) an "FP". They'll be announcing the rest of the information on some sort of press conference next week at 2/16.

Crunchyroll posted basically the same translation on their news section.

The dates about right because we've seen dates close to it in the original series. We know that Ao is from Okinawa so it's not a stretch to have characters from France and the Americas. Then again the manga mentions the Japanese military, which while it could be a mistranslation, could mean the that manga is separate and different from the anime with it having different terms for Ao's mech.

We're just going to have to wait for clarification from the 16th announcement that Triggerhappypilot posted about.

No idea where this new thing takes place in continuity but IIRC the order for the previous stuff is Getter Robo -> Getter Robo G -> Getter Robo Go -> Shin Getter Robo (Takes place before Go but was made after it).

Speaking of Getter, I finally sat dawn and watched Getter Robo Armageddon, and although I thought the middle act was pretty weak (I imagine in part due to director-switching shenanigans), I kind of regret not having seen it earlier now. The plot isn't award-winning material, but from the second Ryouma steps into Shin Getter's cockpit, the action barely ever stops ramping up to an amazing climax.

I'm glad it's finally getting a chance to shine in Super Robot Wars (the GBA games don't count), and alongside TTGL to boot. For best effect I'd like to see it in the same game as G Gundam (Devil Gundam versus Shin Dragon?) or GaoGaiGar (for a completely ridiculous paired finale mission), but I think I'll be happy with what we're getting for now.

I think I'll continue to ride that wave and check out New Getter while I'm at it.

Hakai-hen really went all out in terms of doing Armageddon justice. Awesome remixes of Heats and Now Is The Time, the pilots get the best murderfaces, their RAGE and banter with each other is great, and Getter and Shin Getter are completely overpowered rapetrains.

Can't wait to see how they're handled in Saisei-hen.

One of our hearparts must be broken. That trumpet they used to replace the lyrics made it completely unlistenable to me. HEATS was great though.

The best part is they've barely even gotten started for that one, since Hakai-hen only covered the first three episodes. :allears: And since it's Banpresto, they'll likely iron out the show's few weaknesses (kind of dull new characters, weird pacing), too.

SRWD still has my favorite rendition of Heats, funnily. Then again, that game had some alarmingly great music, especially for the GBA.

Yeah, your hearparts. :colbert: It was a great remix. It's the music I use when I get Shin Getter, because that's the song where you know poo poo just got real. I ended up keeping HEATS for classic Getter the rest of the way, though.

Some rear end in a top hat did it and started selling DVD-Rs. This release is somebody stealing these illegal (and far from perfect, but better than HK) subs and slapping them onto video. It's probably not the world's best release, but it's much more watchable than anything that's come before (if you only speak English).

Or so you'd think if you only speak English. The reality is that most of the time they're basically overwriting the dialogue with whatever they want to and making it up as they go. It's no better than crap like Robotech or Voltron.
