NEW EUREKA SEVEN ANIME!

[uncreative]

I don't have enough background to get everything right, but a rough translation:

1: One isn't enough?
2: Ao,
3: this is an extremely dangerous thing,
4: but when Anmaa (?) has passed on
5: there may be a way to use this.
6: Remember that.

Wait...is this a continuation of where the SERIES left off or the MOVIE? I would think that Eureka just wants to be a normal girl after all that craziness she went through for 4 seasons.

And on that note...she's still kinda short. Since coralians don't age (remember Sakuya) maybe she's stuck in this physical form (remember, she was alive before Renton came into the picture). Well, there goes my shattered dream of seeing a taller Eureka.

And WHYYYY IS SHE ALONE IN THIS SCENE? Oh, please god, no...dont tell me...

The close-up of a bracelet...looking up into the sky...holding her arm...talking to herself...

According to news reports, E7: AO is a direct continuation to the anime series; soo... she /should/ have wings. She's still got the green jewel on her forehead, anyways. I do believe however that the manga is likely going to veer off in its own direction after a few volumes, just like E7's first manga did.

Yeah either something happened to Renton or he was just out and about when she was talking with Ao.
... ;_;

And thanks uncreative!

2: Ao,
3: this is an extremely dangerous thing,
4: but when Anmaa (?) has passed on
5: there may be a way to use this.
6: Remember that.

Ok, really not sure who this 'Anmaa' is that she's referring to (trying to think if it sounds similar to any names from the first series here...) but I bet that whole bit she's talking about will relate to Naru because

Spoiler :

she has the ability to speak to the dead.

Not sure how the bracelet's involved though; it does something that would probably help Naru out in that area, but then why would Eureka have it, right?
Somanyquestions.

Anma? I thought that symbol was "so". Asoma sounds better. Well, the character for "so" and "n" look too much alike:

ン and ソ

Perhaps "passed on" could refer to people crossing over into the universe where the other half of the coralians went off to? Which kinda ties in to my first assumption:

When people die and their bodies deteriorate into the earth (which is a mass of solidified Coralians, BTW) their conscience gets absorbed into the Coralians as well. Thus, Arata can speak to coralians and humans within that consciousness.

God, speculating is addicting...

Perhaps "passed on" could refer to people crossing over into the universe where the other half of the coralians went off to?

For what it's worth, I used that expression because the Japanese uses a phrase that serves as a way of talking about dying without saying it outright. A more literal translation would be "become no more."
And yeah, ソ　and ン are a bit confusing, but I'm about 100% sure that's an ン.

According to a scanlation, its apparently 'Mama'. ... xD

Anyways Chapter 1's gotten fully scanlated and released online.

My thoughts:

Spoiler :

1. The art is not of the same calibur as the original manga, character designs (or even the novels art for that matter) but its not TERRIBLE. I think they Ao's mangaka did a great job drawing the new Nirvash; I think if we have more mechs, they'll be drawn nicely.
Where his art lacks to me is the facial expressions, to be honest. Even when he's trying to be comical and give Ao and Naru funny angry faces, it just doesn't look good.
If anyone looks panicked, the art lacks.
If anyone looks disturbed, it lacks.
I think this'll really improve over time, though. I have a feeling.

2. We have a name for the Raccoon Sloth! Noah, who's forest was unfortunately burned. I already have a decent amount of feels for this little guy.

3. Ao's grandpappy Fukai looks A LOT like Axel.
And with him looking at the picture 'n' all... obviously he has some connection to Eureka. My worst fear is that its Renton, no joke. Eureka ages weirdly, its not impossible.
(I'm pretty sure they covered Eureka's eyes because of Ao's vague memory of his mother, similar to how Renton remembered Diane).

4. Black haired guy with some facial hair just screams Holland and Talho's kid to me. Just screams it. I'd like to get to know him more; a lot more. For now there's so little info on the guy. :\

5. I like Naru for the most part. Kinda generic, but -mneh-

6. I'm not a fan of the new 'G Monsters.' They look ugly, the name is dumb, and they remind me way too much of these things:

Some people may have been like 'OH HEY EVA'; nope, I got Tron vibes first. xD And even Tron Recognizers are cooler than G-Monsters.

7. Um, plot was really generic... but I'll forgive it, because that's like how E7 started.
I really do miss the trapars, ref-boarding and all of the mechs, however.
I guess the mech archetypes were hidden and forgotten because the use of trapars was no longer needed/didn't exist because half of the scubs went away.
But... Nirvash /DID/ use its giant ref board in the fight, if only for a second. It didn't ref, but it emerged from the ocean as if it was surfing.

Really interesting, if the mangaka is going to go for the idea of actually surfing/gliding over water with the boosters mainly fueling it.

But yeah,
I seriously miss reffing like crazy.

I'll keep reading, but I'll look forward to episode 1 of the anime. Also I don't think Granpappy Fukai is dead. Naru isn't, anyways.

I'm hesitant to read the manga before the anime because i'm gonna be like "WTF?! THAT WASN'T IN THE MANGA!" But i just want the story to make sense of it all.

Spoiler :

We have a name for the Raccoon Sloth! Noah, who's forest was unfortunately burned. I already have a decent amount of feels for this little guy.

Are you talking about another one of these guys?

[EkaCoralian]

Lol I think the premise is going to be like exactly the same animated because its, well, a premise. xD Iunno, I could care less since its an original story by BONES for both the anime and manga.

And another fat adorable pet thing? Ohyes. E7 AO's 'Gulliver' is Noah this time around, and he's a big pudgy Raccoon sloth thing. c:

[KopiusFew]

there's a translation on mangastream, i don't know if I'm allowed to put links to other sites or not. i'm not gonna spoil it for you so you can go check it out. he does look like renton's kid.

would be nice if the world could stay save for more then a minute

[Bonehimer]

Its gonna be real lame if they ruin the supper happy ending of the tv series with Renton dying of cancer or something depressing happened to them.

[EkaCoralian]

Well, Eureka (supposedly) was abducted and Renton's been missing, leaving Ao for 10 years with this Dr. Toshio man.
I'm so intrigued by the specs on this new Nirvash, though; so many questions left unanswered.
