C&C - Eureka Seven - "Raise Your Hand" [1/19]

[Zach Logan]

Fix it Friday
Watch it Saturday after Bleach at 12:30
And so on.

[Captain Highwind]

Deceit, Truth, and gassy Buddhists!

We've got it all here!

[JShaggy]

Am I the only person here that's feeling a Mobile Suit Gundam vibe just watching the second half with Dewey's speech?

[Timmay]

Poor kid got showered in blood.

HAIL ZEON!

Fat guys get love too on Eureka Seven.

Cliffhanger.

Gee Eureka, you never though to mention that?

[Anyone00]

'Philoso-babel and techno-babel are two ends of the same road that rarely intertwine...... I had too many beans.'

[Kitschensyngk]

Coralions are thinking things
So say the church and science theses
So everything that Dewey says
Is just him talking bovine feces.
Now with his lies mass-telecast
We're left to wonder what he meant in
Calling for their genocide.
They can't be all bad. Just ask Renton.

They only kill in self-defense
Against these "Orange" tests he starts up
Entire towns depopulate
Because of crazy plans he farts up
If all scubs were to arise
The consequence would put a dent in
Any future for mankind.
They can't be all bad. Just ask Renton.

Sir Dewey Novak doth believe
His mindless public sings the chorus,
"We haven't any need to think.
We have the news to do that for us."
O Gekko! Holland! Do something!
Your stupid older brother went and
Killed us all by word of mouth.
They can't be all bad. Just ask Renton.

Dom's been dumped, and Norb's a slob
The Gekkostate are much revolted
Anemone seems undeterred.
Does she know she's just been insulted?

[PickHut]

It was a pretty good episode to begin with, but Norb farting makes it an automatic win.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Norb reminds me my of grandfather, SO much :sweat:. He even kinda looks like him with the bald head too.

Dewy, you silly thing. How dare you decieve all those people! Naughty Naughty.
Im kind of surprised that they didnt take the Nirvash to crash the party, but considering the circumstances with Norb being around, and everything else that is changeing within Eureka, it could have turned out pretty bad.

[Duke]

So, Eureka's turning into a human (I'm going to assume that means she has a soul now and that her insides aren't randomly shifting around) and that's bad? OK...

Yea, Dewey's little speech totally reminded me of Gihren. Except Gihren didn't have an army of giant robots crash down in front of him with a "Goddess of Victory" posing on the lead robot.

Much of the babble that went on (specifically anything to do with the numbered Plains) went over my head until the trapars came into the conversation. What the hell are these plains again?

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Yeah that speech very much reminded me of Gundam. The voice actor sounded similar to some OZ rep from Wing specifically though I'm sure it wasn't the same guy as it wasn't exactly the same but very similar.

People getting drenched in blood was pretty hardcore.

[EroSennin]

All that techno-babel just went right over my head. The world is about to be destroyed but I have no idea how or why.

[Ackar]

The coral awakening still reminds me of the fungal blooms of Alpha Centauri.

This show will probably have the same conclusion as well. :sad:

I think the other guy was thinking more along the lines of Giren Zabi than of Quinze from Gundam Wing.

Isn't Anemone a corralian too? :shrug:

The esoteric stuff was a bit confusing and I don't think I'm any closer to understand now than I was before. I think the seventh swell is the awakening of the coralians and equivalent to the seventh plain. The tenth plain seems to be beyond "the great wall" when everything is one. Sounds like Nirvana? I still think humans and coralians will have to combine to reach it together or everything is dead.



Isn't Anemone a corralian too? :shrug:I think so, but she seems malformed. Like the Dewey pulled her out too soon. Or else she's just nuts because he is.

o.O The plains are levels of enlightenment? I thought they were actual plains. :sweat:

[Rolling Cloud]

I missed this episode. Can Somebody please give me a summary as to what happened? Thanks in advance.

[silvanoir]

So according to this show whne too many intelligent minds are in one place the material world ceases to be? well, I know now the internet will never end (ha!)

but seriously, this show is odd. I keep going back and forth between liking it and not.

so the corals...or the sky fish..or something are ships to take poeple to some other side and...oh screw it. just don't pull a wolf's rain and have the world end and a new one start, ok, Eureka_7?

I don't see how Eureka becoming human is bad...sure its bad for everyone's big plans, but isn't it better when it comes to her and Renton being happy together?

The bad thing is is that if she turns human before they can use her, she's worthless to the cause.

[adoptedBatpuppy]

Why do all those people believe what Dewey said? :shrug:
I don't get why Anemone on his side, isn't she a corralian also?

[adoptedBatpuppy]

What cause? :confused:

[Funkatron]

What cause? :confused:

Eureka is integral in thier plan to stop thier world from asploding. But only because she is a humanoid Coralian. If she turns human, they can't use her anymore

[Lutochris]

I think Eureka turning human is bad for 2 reasons:

1. The whole point of getting Renton and Eureka together is to prove that humans and Corallians can coexist peacefully. As people have already said, this probably needs to happen for there to by "harmony beyond the Great Wall" or something. If she becomes human, it would be more like Corallians being assimilated by humans.

2. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that Eureka turning human will probably prove to be bad for her health. Remember when Norb was telling Holland about his Corallian girlfriend Sakuya? Well we've never heard what happened to her, but I'm willing to bet since they were in love she tried to become human and ended up dying in the process.

As for the metaphysical/philisophocal/pseudo-science stuff, well, I hate it when people compare this show to Eva, but this is starting to sound a lot like Human Instrumentality.

It sounds slightly like EVA and RahXEphon combined to me. I still love the show..I just hope it does not go into EVA/RahXephon mode

If she becomes human, it would be more like Corallians being assimilated by humans. Just in case, info is pre-story and not from the show itself. From the main site, Coralians at first contact, could only communicate with humans by merging. This was fatal to humans. I don't think Eureka can survive becoming human. But this is only a guess at this point.

Died doesn't exactly fit with the image that's coming in Episode 41 - "Acperience-3" But Sakuya definitely "goes".


As for the metaphysical/philisophocal/pseudo-science stuff, well, I hate it when people compare this show to Eva, but this is starting to sound a lot like Human Instrumentality. It is called "philosophical fiction", so it will likely get stranger. But I don't see it going off a cliff like Eva. Hope not anyway.

[Lutochris]

Whoa, careful with the spoilers there!

Thematically it sounds very similar to Eva, but I'm not saying it's going to end the same way or anything. They can take the same theme and do something different with it plot-wise, but if the humans and corallians all end up melding together into one big massive lump of scub-coral at the end, well then I'm calling shenanigans.

[Kagetsu]

Whoa, careful with the spoilers there!Can't really be spoilers. Most is pre-story info and we already know Sakuya's gone. Except for some screen caps which I decided not to post at all, I see the show on [AS] like most of the others. But maybe just in case...

I kinda expect the world to change, but as long as they don't end going to school looking ala Azumanga Daioh, or kill all the characters then bring everyone back as a new world, I should be happy.

[Kitschensyngk]

This show isn't too much like Eva.

Shinji gets depressed when he pilots his mecha. Renton just gets airsick.

They're leaving it on the fix throughout the week now, so you can still watch it there.

Thanks!

EDIT: I just checked and "Date of Birth" is up there. Episode 38.

[Ackar]

That's the same title they had up for THIS episode last friday. So it's probably the episode we're talking about currently.

[Freedom Fighter]

So, if I'm getting this straight, the Corollian scubs are in deep hibernation. But their numbers are so big, their population is over the so-described 'safe limits of questions.' Apparently, eclipsing said limit ends the world. The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because of the hibernation - they are storing a majority of their energy rather than expending it.

Dewey has realized this potential for disaster, so, even at the risk of waking them ALL and dooming the world, he's attacking them and trying to kill them all. And convince the human populace is easy... just say it's some weird alien irradication... kill or be killed. And then he butters them up with, 'there's nothing to fear' speech, introducing Anemone and the other 'troops.' I have to say, he's a very convincing speaker.

Meanwhile, the Renton-Eureka pairing takes an interesting turn. Eureka is becoming more human, which apparently is bad. Or we're led to believe is bad. And what's up with Eureka waiting until now to tell Renton she knew his dad personally?

"Raise Your Hand": 4/5.
