Simply put, this franchise was fighting an uphill battle pretty much after the original ended and Hi-Evo is the culmination of that. There is so much focus on alternate timelines and I have to assume NO ONE cares about this. its coming of age and environmentalist themes, interesting world and lore, counterculture aesthetic, etc).

It has the superficial trappings of E7 (surfing robots, familiar characters and iconography, etc) but it just doesn't hit the same when it doesn't stick to what made the series work in the beginning (i.e. To put it bluntly, E7 just isn't E7 anymore.

Now that the franchise is effectively dead, I think Bones is going to quietly shelve it after movie 3 and kick the director out of the way. Naturally, Bones wants to invest as much money and resources into original properties where all the profits go to them and aren't split between multiple parties like with manga adaptations. Fact is E7 is the studio's most successful original anime and was for the longest time the closest thing to a "flagship series" until MHA took its place. Bones needing original properties to milk to keep cash flow coming.He's only using it to advance his own career and become an "auteur." The fact that Dai Sato (the OG series screenwriter) and Kenichi Yoshida (OG series character designer and lead animator) jumped ship before the final movie release pretty much confirms it. The director has pretty much admitted he hates his own creation and doesn't actually care about the property. I actually plan to make a long post about "what went wrong" after movie 3 comes out, but to sum up my points, it basically comes down to this: As the movies and series go on, it gets further and further away from the themes of the original (The first movie is still kinda close, so it's worth a watch.) AO is just a direct retcon to some of the character development of the first one.Īfter a while, the studio realized that people will watch anything with Eureka Seven on it regardless of quality, and then just started shoving stuff out the door. To do so, he retold the story, again and again and again, with different tweaks and interpretations. The director doesn't understand this, and is set on scrapping the whole thing. The fans point to pacing and maybe some corny dialog as issues, but largely like what happened, and just wish it was presented better. The first problem is the director, like many of the fans, was unhappy with the ending of Eureka Seven. The problem with the stuff that comes after is actually two separate problems. The first movie is actually okay and could be worth a watch.
