Movie Reviews of Eureka Seven, Volume 5 (Episodes 19-22)Movie Review: COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN Summary: 5 Stars
The fifth volume of Eureka Seven is all about alienation. Namely, that of Renton and Eureka, who ironically enough, love each other. But through misunderstanding and selfishness, they succeed only in making each others lives miserable. As the crew of Gekkostate desperately try to finish the repairs to their ship, hundreds of government forces surround them. Even as all of this is going on, Eureka takes off in the Nirvash. Renton sets off in high speed pursuit. When he finds her she seems to be on the verge of being absorbed by the cave walls. When he pulls her out she is losing consciouness and her body is coated in some sort of viscous liquid. Will Eureka be able to survive, and will they get back to the ship in time?
The thing that is becoming a bit annoying in this show is that we're almost halfway through the run, and we haven't got the answers to even 1/4 of the questions that are on my mind. What are Eureka and Anemone? Normal girls, androids, clones, aliens? What is the origin of the LFOs? What really happened to Renton's dad? What is the Amita drive? These are some pretty hefty questions and it's not really right to hold off on even the most basic details in such a long show. I don't know if my interest can be held that long. But for all that, Eureka Seven is one of the best anime I've seen. The animation is second to none and the characterization is really honest. It still bugs me that someone as young as Renton is having to experience all these horrible things. Renton should have made just a tad older, maybe 17 or 18, because the story being told her is definitely not for kids. Awesome show.
For more fleshing out of the situations and characters, I would highly recommend picking up the first three volumes of the manga, also published by Bandai. Other anime I would recommend would be Fullmetal Alchemist and Full Metal Panic.
