Eureka Seven is easily one of my favorite anime series of all time. Fantastic animation, fantastic music, fantastic direction, and strong va performances. Some folks may complain about annoying characters or the slow pacing of the show at times but that was an integral aspect of what made the show so great, the character development. Nearly every major character acted with some level of dispicableness and immaturity at but slowly developed and grew. Coming of age tales are a dime a dozen these days but few have done such a remarkable job as with Eureka Seven.
