 How did I not know about this 'til now?! This is awesome news, Eureka Seven is a genuinely great Mech anime mixing Gundam level action and drama with Evangelion level meta-physics and psychology. I can't be the only one that thinks that kid looks he's the son of Renton and Eureka, and I wonder if the Nirvash in the new series is the orignal with a new outer shell or another Nirvash-type LFO? News Release on Anime News Network: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-22/eureka-seven-ao-gets-tv-anime-in-april-2012Offical Japanese Website: eurekaao-prj.net/ I also speculate this girl might be Holland and Talho's daughter. |

The story is set on Okinawa’s isolated island of Iwado, which has seen a growing movement advocating a return to an autonomous government. Ao Fukai, a 13-year-old boy with a missing father, lives on the island with an old doctor named Toshio and is about to enter middle school. Ao’s mother was taken away a decade ago by unknown individuals. Naru Arata, Ao’s 13-year-old childhood friend and the story’s heroine, lives with her father, older sister, and grandmother. She has a “Yuta” power awakened within her due to an incident when she was young. A mysterious entity called “Secret” suddenly appears and launches an attack on the Scub Coral lifeform on the island. In his fervent desire to protect the island, Ao launches a certain military FP called “Nirvash” aboard a Japanese military transport. The anime sequels features the return of the original anime’s director, several mechanical designers, art director, color stylist, visual effects director, and director of photography. The first anime’s character designer Kenichi Yoshida and main mechanical designer Shoji Kawamori are also credited for “key character designs” and “Nirvash designs,” respectively.

New Nirvash looks great, a little dark looking for the series hero LFO, but we know it'll eventually get repainted in more heroic colors. Promotional art has shown the main character Ao's is green, but in this trailer it's brown, so I wonder if something happens in the first coupe episodes that changes it. Can't wait to see who the new enemy is, and to see what characters from the previous series show up.
