Finally I can hear Digi's opinion on Eureka Seven
He has it on blogposts before tho
WHAT, FOR REAL?
Yeah check out Digi's video How i learned to write gooder. Its in that video aswell
Oh shit, I'll have to watch that then, thanks. I haven't been keeping up lately
No problem, yeah check it out it's a hella long video to be fair tho.
Just noticed that you have reached 300k subscribers when I clicked on this video.
Congrats, my dude!!
He's still at 299 for me, weird
They must've unsubscribed for the sake of trolling. :P
if you're reading this: subscribe!
A whole 1000 people?
+JoJoX200 It's actually more like 16. XD
Man I love Eureka Seven. It's been in my top 10 for a while now, even though it seems lots of people have forgotten it. It had me hooked since the very first few seconds, which has been a pretty rare experience. Great coming of age story, great character dynamics and growth, great soundtrack, pretty much great everything. (PS: Anemone>Eureka)
It also lived on through Xam'd (kind of a spiritual sequel) so if anyone wants more of E7 without having to deal with Ao or does't like the alternate timeline movie, they can try that.
And Arjuna is a nostalgic anime for me, I really need to rewatch and see how it holds up. The last time I watched it, I was in my early teens I think.
Digi, also, would be wonderful if one day you'd talk about Key the Metal Idol. It's such an underrated gem.
ジ a new movie is coming out this summer
Malform Beats isnt pluto the gritty dark astroboy
I know about the E7 _Rebuilds_ and I'm looking forward to them.
Pluto's on my PTR list, but thank you. I also heard they're adapting it into an anime.
I don't know much about Terra e yet, but I will check it out, thanks!
It took the premise of EVA, and gave the psychotic characters people to rely on. Like its scary how many aspects have a direct paralell, and it is still such a different story.
Well, this is certainly a cheery little comment thread. You guys mind ruining it in the name of threatening me to watch Eureka Seven?
From how Digi's described it, it seems to make a nice gauge for how to measure both mine and Digi's tastes without really being anything that could make me feel spoiled towards other anime. Only problem is that I'm insanely squeamish and lazy towards watching anything new, so I usually need to be threatened or given some other incentive to start on new things.
I still love Eureka Seven today. It's so rare to see good romance and I connect with this show so much. I love how it shows so many different world views and people and then moves on. It kind of reminds me of Cowboy Bebop with it's different world views that change the characters subtly.
Whats best, is that not one of them is portrayed as being right.
I need no channel youtube! That girl right there close to him
+Leonardo Farias Eureka? She is a Rei expy who actually has characterdevelopment.
Ive watched the show 4 times through my life, at all ages from teen - adult. It holds up completely. And yeah, now that I'm older, I relate to Holland/Talho a bit more, but it doesn't hold the Renton/Eureka storyline back at all. Just gives it new context. Now that its on Crunchyroll, I highly recommend giving it another try.
Interesting thing I saw on the rewatch: Episode 1/2 have the same structure as Evangelion ep. 1/2. It's pretty interesting to see how many similarities the two shows have, and in a way how similar the morals are. (Corraleans/humans leaning to communicate vs. Breaking down of social barriers (AT fields) to learn to understand each other)
Oh yeah, I am one of the few who watched Eureka AO. While I didn't hate it completely, It is definitely nowhere near as memorable. It just seemed so, uninspired. Its like Eureka Seven without the counter culture/romance/music.
Nero they're giving eureka the rebuild treatment, 3 new prequel movies and the promos looked gorgeous
yea for what it was AO wasn't terrible imo, but I think if it was a totally separate IP they probably could've created something far more satisfying. it really felt to me like nirvash and eureka were superficial references rather than integral parts of the show, and i think that was the worst part about the show tbh. it seemed like most of the plot-critical connections to the original series were all shoehorned into the last 3 episodes and they didn't make a whole lot of sense :(
Eureka Seven is like Evangelion if it was made by humans and not a space alien.
Best description of E7 I've heard, and by proxy, EVA too.
*if it was made by Japanese ravers
I've always had the oposite problem with buying shit. IF i look at something, i immediately think "this has no practical value, and is therefore only worth as much as a hologram of that thing, which i'd probably buy for a dollar, or something.
My apartment that i've lived in for a whole year doesn't have a single item of decoration.
A single flower. No furniture. Just a flower in the middle of the room.
me irl
It took me more than two decades of life to even understand why people buy posters. I have bought tons of physical and digital media over the years and revisited a lot of them (even if my libraries are now large enough that I've outpaced my ability to play/read/listen/etc.), but it wasn't until last year, visiting my first ever convention and finding an artist from the Netherlands no less that I've loved the style of for years, that I finally understood why people buy posters.
Now, figurines on the other hand, I'm still scratching my head at.
Eureka 7 is the perfect coming of age story. It's about a young teenage brat (Renton) who throws his life at home away to go live with his lifelong idols and a cute, enigmatic girl, only to be crushed by the cruel realities of the world and people around him, learn from his shortcomings, and work his way up to being a man who can stand beside the people he idolizes.
This was hands down my favorite thing that you've done. A tightly edited, solo podcast series. I'd love a season 2, maybe revisiting each show to capture how you've changed.
About time, I can't wait to watch reviews on these old-ass animes. Really looking forward to any of them, I'll probably rewatch some of them.
I think you had a change of fate with the "Fate" series a while back... I remember you doing a video on how you liked the intense lore as a background to the world and now during your Drop list videos you say that you hate the Fate franchise... It would be interesting to know what happened there.
I love listening to these while doing anything please do more.
Please do more things like this series! I had such a great time listening to this. I would love to hear more about how your perspective has shifted over time. As someone who has only been watching anime a couple years I have an endless fascination seeing how drastically opinions can shift.
Digi please make more of these, it gave me an valuable insight into you, that I never got from any of your other videos, and helps me understand why you love what you love and why you shit on a lot of stuff. So thank you.
This has been one of my favorite series of yours. I hope it can continue in some way
I loved these kind of long talking podcast like videos. Perfect for listening to while making coffee, eating breakfast, and checking my emails
Loved this series dude, it was super interesting to hear your more casual opinions on things, even thing that I've never been super invested in (yuri, moe, etc)
Really loved this video series! I don't know if I have any specific things I want to hear you talk about in your videos, but I do know I want more anime/experience type videos like this in the future
Also hearing a bit about your evolving tastes was pretty cool imo
I LOVED this video series :D not only because I like and/or am interested in the anime you've talked about throughout it, but also because it's given a pretty in-depth look into the life of a guy who's had a looong relationship to anime. Kinda feels like we've gotten to know you, especially in the VERY personal Evangelion and NHK episodes.
Would be totally cool if you made more vids in this series sometime :)
I have been waiting for this video for so long.
I don't watch a lot of your videos, just the odd one on show's that I've already seen (for that good old echo chamber) or just in the background while at work.
I know this series didn't get as many views, but I know that wasn't the point of it. It was nice to listen to while going about the daily tasks of an adult in his late 20s. It reminded me of Super Eyepatch Wolf's stuff, which caters to a different audience (more moderate Anime consumers than diehard).
This series was great (for the most part), hope to see more like it in the future.
Incoming Eureka Seven video. HYPE!
This has been a great series. I didn't listen to every single episode but those that I did check out offered a lot of insight into your own history. It feels like I understand your opinions on a lot of shows a lot more clearly now. A second season would be great, or at least something similar to this.
this has been weirdly one of the best things I've listened to
I remember I watched Eureka 7 earlier on with FMA and Death Note and it didn't do much for me. I rewatched it a couple years later and it felt like a different show and now ranks as my favorite. Rewatch it Digi! I could be wrong, but I think your adult self will find lots to enjoy that you didn't when you were younger.
Very curious about Arjuna now and I'll happily go check it out
I very much enjoyed this podcast series.
Much of my own personal anime journey has been similar to yours, so it was fun to relive it through your more well-spoken memories.
These casts are great! Pls continue :D
Eureka seven is currently my favourite show and has been for 2 years, you should absolutely rewatch it, it still definitely holds up today
Kenichi Yoshida is MY GUY. Love that dude's work. He has this wonderful sense of shapeliness with his character designs that is woefully hard to find in the realms of anime/anime aesthetic. Like, dude I could write a whole book on why his character designs for Eureka Seven are the BEST DAMN THING EVER.
I honestly think a lot of what makes Eureka Seven so great is due to Kenichi Yoshida. I feel like a lot of the magic of Eureka Seven is owed to him. When looking him up, his list of credits for the show is MASSIVE, especially in contrast to other show's he's worked on. (Granted he could just be getting undercredited for his work on other series, it does seem like a lot of his work is going un/underdocumented). If wikipedia is to be believed he was even responsible for the ENTIRE DAMN FOURTH ED! Granted, the fourth ED is basically just a storyboard, but consider how much that one ED adds dramatic weight to the narrative and lore of the series. Dude is a fucking boss and my hero.
I love this format, because of how long these episodes are, and I'd like to see more. You should try your thoughts on different genres- kind of like what you did with the yuri and light novel episodes. What did each genre do right? what did they do wrong? What shows that are the pinnacle of each genre? What obscure shows fell flat in most ways, but did a really good job of displaying a specific genre. I feel like you would have some nice insight on this subject, and could get a minimum of 7 episodes on this.
I liked this series a lot, it was nice hearing you talk about all this old stuff you love and your old life, and just because we're a similar age I watched a number of the same shows. I dunno what you could cover in a similar fashion, but I'd love another podcast series if you have it in you.
I've never understood the fear of not enjoying something you watched previously later on
It's more like, something that really resonated with you and/or motivated you to make changes in your life and had a huge impact on you not having the same impact. A show that you held in high regard may not be all that great and it's a weird sort of sadness. A really exaggerated example of this in another situation: Your grandfather was always very loving to you but when you grew up you realized he was a pedophile who molested children. It's exaggerated, like I said, but it doesn't feel good when the image you have of a show doesn't match its actual quality.
Ali Irfan great example👏
I loved Pocket Full of Rainbows.
So glad you talked about Eureka 7's godlike character designs. Also, Jing was my first manga too. Fuck the anime.
Yes! MOAR. This series is awesome.
TBH
I was afraid of clicking this video since I watched Eureka 7 and looking back, the story seem too simplistic to me and I liked it like crazy before. I wanted to hide my head in the sand while I wait for you to start talking about Eureka 7 but hearing your opinion makes me want to see re-watch Eureka 7 again. I was a hell lot younger back then which basically puts me in Renton's shoes. Now that I'm older, I guess I'll have a new appreciation for the series.
What you gonna do for 300k special digi?
Eureka 7 was an epic anime. So glad you're talking about.
Eureka Seven is timeless classic in my opinion. Two of my first mech anime were code geass and Gundam Seed(yeah, poor me), and although I was blown away by the visuals and edgy story, but I always had a grudge against those series for pulling bullshit plots and brain-fucked my 13 years old mind. Eureka Seven is one of the few anime series and resolved my grudge against mecha genre; I genuinely like the romance like I did with Suka Suka this season. Maybe I'm just being a BONES fanboy, I don't know.
FIF DEE KAY!
Times six.
Soooooo, when are those Akiyuki Shinbo videos coming?
I think it's safe to say it's been put on the back burner.

Which sucks, I was really excited for it.
over last 10 years i watched Eureka7 over 10 times, i feel like this show should be watched in a loop. AO wasn't bad for what it was, only reqire a lot of overhead thinking and nostalgia to swallow it the fact that Ao did not let his father (Renton) steal the finale as kind of rewarding. i don't think watching Eureka seven now would feel much different to me now. it was always kind of guilty pleasure shounen to me, where i was thinking more about a whole package than the main characters. Like asuming that Nirvash is a girl and so on.
Watch Eureka Seven again, you will discover 2nd bottom , and not loose fun from it. (i think)
idk how you're worried about not liking Eureka now that you're older when you're a lolicon
Astral Ocean was a mistake, you have smart friends
I would love another series like this!
Great series, would love to hear more!
We don't ever talk about Eureka Seven AO...
EVER!!!!
like that other show that doesn't exist, it doesn't exist
Waifu Speedwagon AO is good if you think of it as a different show.
I would love another Podcast series like this.
Eureka Seven is one of my favorites. Depending on my mood it moves up and down next to Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Planetes, but I usually say Planetes is my favorite because it's the one no one's ever heard of and I want to spread the word.
Definitely found this series very interesting, for me personally, the only major piece of media related to anime I spent a lot of money on when I was younger was manga. I bought every single issue of the series Negima! from my local bookstore for a fairly ridiculously inflated price (over $30 per issue), mostly because I had no idea I could just read it all online. Plus being in AUS anime was not a very common thing. I still appreciate it because it was probably the thing that got me invested into the medium in the first place. Also i hate to be THAT GUY, (I didn't scroll down far enough to see if anyone else has tried to make this correction) but Chitose from girlish number has a special place in my heart as she does yours ;)
MrPotatohead1919 Man its nice to hear another person liked Negima! That story has some of the coolest characters and setting of any anime.
Glad to hear someone else remembered Jing's manga.
Loved this series digi! I would definetly tune in if you did a season 2
I love Eureka Seven, if one series has to be number one for me, it woulb be Eureka. And I understand if people say they have problems with the start, I didn't love at that much in the beginning too. After I finished the series I revisited the first two episodes, and then these episodes got me. I realized how much they forshadowed and how much groundwork was layed out during those episodes.
I even did after seeing your "Recognizing a good anime in 1 episode". You stated there that a first episode has to lay the tone for what's to come and that's the reason why some first episodes seem to be boring on the first watch. But just for the first, in the second rewatch you will see all the details. I rembered that I felt bored by the first episodes of Eureka Seven, so I checked out if your theory works. Guess what, you were right.
Little side note: I sae your Eva analysis series nit so long ago and realized that the first and second episode of Eureka Seven made with their episode-structure a clear reference to the first and second epiaode of Evangelion.
I've been meaning to check out Earth Maiden Arjuna for months now and this podcast episode gave me an excuse to finally do it and I got a similar vibe. Pretty good show with amazing music.
This was a good series. Congrats on 300k. Hopefully you do finally revisit Eureka Seven.
I watched it for the first time a few months ago, a definite favorite for me.
how you described this show and its relation to you is identitcal to me in everyway and it was terrifying to hear haha
ahh to be 14 again...
exactly 300.000 subs man, nice!
i would like something more like this series, yes.
Unrelated thing here, but; Congrats on 300K subs Digi!
Bluray still has higher bitrate 1080p video than you can get streaming and they also include extras not available on streaming websites such as making of and cast interviews.
Watch it again. It holds up.
One thing I love about Eureka 7 is that the english dub is surprisingly high quality. It's a good beginner anime for bringing friends into the fold.
I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts about Arjuna. I admittingly could never get into it. Anymaru and even the original Macross are a lot easier for me to take in from Kawamori than Arjuna.
WalkingGirlKoi Same here. I find it especially interesting that Digibro draws similar parallels between Arjuna and Eureka7 as I did myself at the time
Just coming in for that 'really really like.' These have been staple listens for me at work, and definitely in favor of more.
This Series was great, i will say. Something like this in it's nature would be fantastic. The .Hack episode was pretty good. Maybe a series about shows you hated when you were younger and can't talk about now?
This anime has actually managed to be my number 1 for a very long time now and i think because of its charm it will always be. Strangely enough i couldn't get into Gurren Lagon, but ive watch Eureka twice lol.
i would love another similar series
how you feel about your anime collection is how i sometimes fear i'll one day feel about my vinyl collections :S
I'd watch more of this style of content.
you should definitely do a season 2 of this!
I'd be pretty interested in seeing more of these podcasts. They're great to have on in the background when I'm playing a game like Dark Souls or Chantelise.
I love how you just summed up why I haven't rewatched Eureka 7 despite thinking it was awesome and awe-inspiring to me at the time. I was nearing 18 when I first saw it, was kinda heart-broken by my first love and the end of my school time was nearing, so I didn't really know where m< life was gonna go.
Right now, I'm still not sure where I'm gonna be in the future, as I started an artistic career that might or might not work out in the long run. I'm certainly not as productive as you, which is why I really liked your videos about "not trying to be Digi"(sorry, not sure about the title anymore). Anyway, in that regard, I think I could still watch and enjoy Eureka 7.
But the one thing I never really got to terms with even after I had finished the show, was how much physical abuse by Holland Renton had to endure.
That's an aspect of the show(you call it "bumping heads" and character development) that until now never sat right with me. Abuse, physically or mentally, never meant any development to me, from personal experience, but rather regression or halt of development. So, in a way, the show actually helped me form a very strong opinion about something, but at the same time prevented me from going back to it.
It's a bit sad to me, and I do wonder if I should bite the bullet and rewatch it, just for the chance to maybe come to terms with it...
I'm half way through Eureka 7, and the one thing I can't stand is Holland physically abusing Renton, it just makes me mad. I like everything else for the most part, though.
Eureka Seven has been my favorite series since summer 2008, although the way I enjoy it now is much different than the way I did back then. Over time I began to notice that the writing, especially between Renton and Eureka, was pretty cheesy. But I still love the show's visual style, music, and attention to detail that you just don't see in other shows.
Protip to new viewers: Episodes 4-8 are traditionally where people drop the show. I don't mind them, but they're definitely filler-esque. If you can make it through them, it's more or less smooth sailing through the rest of the show.
About the Movie, tl;dr: worth solely because of the ending
I know you just made a video about how constantly people tell you give a second chance to anime you droped,
but to me this "franchising" is an important part of Eureka and I enjoy how the maga was totaly different from what I expected when I first opened it and how every Eureka "story" is a different universe (makes it easier to cope with how bad AO was)
The Eureka movie was one of top 3 most emotionaly impactful anime I ever watched (the other 2 being the Eureka series and Toradora) and it was watching the first 25 episodes ripped on youtube that brought me into anime for real (cuz after 25 episodes the channel was banned and I had to discover streaming sites),
and so I would recomend the movie solely because of the ending, every time I listen to the track for the final scene and the ending 'Space Rock' by iLL it's like my heart is being squeezed and I have to hold back a tear or at least showers me in goosebumps
Does anybody here know what's up with Sudostef's channel? He took down All his vids and his accounts seem dead and theres some really cryptic message on his channel and description. Bit worrisome to say the least
Blightsk00 2 While I am not sure about the situation, it seems like he is at a hospital at the moment, as he tried to commit suicide.
I've recently finally started to go trough with my old resolution to rewatch old shows that I either remember being amazing or heard of being such. And with that I've gone trough Trigun, one of my top 3 of all time and... it definitelly aged at places, there are a few weak episodes that I repressed from memory (most of them have the common trait of too litlle Vash in them) and some of the moments didn't hit me as much as they did before, but with all that I've found a few new scenes that hit me like a brick wall (especially certain characater's death) and the animation at times is outstanding considering its age (it has an exeptional first episode). So overall I still consider this one of my all time favourites, tho for slightly different reasons so you dac definitelly relive those old series and not be left with a bad after taste.
Also right now I'm watching Fooly Cooly, never seen it before and the animation and style are mind blowing and the story is really fun to follow, so there's also the added benefit of giving people a chance to find out about series that they haven't seen/know of for one reason or another.
This themed podcast series was nice, if you can find good topics for it I'm definitely interested in listening to another.
My favourite Episodes of Eureka Seven are when Norb is on the ship. And if you don't want to watch Ao, just listen to the OST. It is from the guy who sang Storywriter. He did a really good job.
I hope you will make another Old-Ass Anime Cast series soon
I want a season two of this
There is one. We dont talk about it.
I need no channel youtube! I think he means a second season of old ass anime
what are *you* talking about, though? almost seems like you mean a second season of eureka, but those movies havent come out yet.
I just watched *Earth Girl Arjuna* again last month after seeing *What The Health, Cowspiracy & Before the Flood.* It still holds up even though it's a visual "cluster fuck"
Damn Digi! I found that Manga *King of Bandits* in New Zealand a decade ago 😂 this is quite a throw back
Childhood is preferring Eureka, adulthood is realizing Anemone is better.
3:31 "Everything this designer has done has been great" - Deadman Wonderland was a mess.
ninryu4 But the character designs are great
Well, that's true.
Eureka 7 has been my favorite anime since I first saw an episode of it on adultswim one night when I was like 11. I really hope you are able to go back to it and enjoy those things you liked about it at first and even find something new. There are some aspects of it I think are deserving of critisism, mostly in regards to exposition on the plot. But those don't effect enough episodes to really damage the show I think. I would really love to see you make content about it, even if I might disagree with it for whatever reason.
Eureka 7 is still one of my top anime, I fucking love it
Hated eureka seven as a kid because the cartoon channel would air it labelled as Bleach and I would just get angry at that fact.
Eureka Seven is in my top 3 anime, great characters, great love story, great action, just great everything! Even if it does get a bit complicated nearing the end...
@Digibro Just a random idea but, with your massive intellect, maybe you could make a series where you predict the quality of the next season of anime (individually).
I loved this.
Hey, Digi, I love your videos. I have a question about your mindset about your career. In many of your videos, this one in particular, you state that you take things that you experienced in the past and are now applying them to your career in various ways, such as creating a series of videos about old anime you were interested in at one time. In this video you said that you now approach buying things, at least partly, in a way that benefits and promotes your career, instead of going just off of aesthetics as you did when you were younger.
Do you think that there is some level of conditioning that you are putting yourself through to make your career as successful as possible? Is a lot of your thought time dedicated to thinking about how to advance your career and do you think you have conditioned yourself to think in a way that instinctively considers possible benefits that an action may have on your career? And if there is conscious conditioning going on do you think it has changed your aesthetics and outlook on life?
Thanks, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Well then its great that they are making 3 part movie with a prequel, a recap, and a direct sequel, you can give us your thoughts then.
LATE COMMENT ATTACK!
I always find art books probably the most worthwhile investment: That and model kits.
But that's because I can drop £50-£100 and get a weeks of entertainment out of it. As for art books, that's because Art is my passion, looking through them and getting inspired to try something in a style I've never done before and seeing the creative process is endlessly entertaining for me.
Although true story: I picked up several Bishoujo statues of Nono from DieBuster because a local clearance store was selling them for £5 a piece.
I've had this feeling with buying stuff many times. When you have enough money you buy stuff that seems appealing at the time, for me it's mostly clothing at the moment. And it can get expensive, I don't buy cheap stuff.
And when I am low on money and look at what I have, and I see I bought that expensive shirt or whatever and think "Is this really worth what I paid for?", the answer in my mind is usually no. But somehow I still fall back on it after some time.
Not into figurines though, they do nothing for me lol.
I miss going on pixve but I love going to danbooru that where I get a good 65% of all pic that helps me draw
I only watch anime with cool fights and badass protagonists. Nerds!
If they make a figure of Chitose from Girlish Number and put her in a schoolgirl bathing suit, that would be like the ultimate meta irony.
I was one of those fucks who liked Eurkea Seven enough to really try to watch AO. The only thing that ever really out of it was a retcon cannon in that when someone is shot with it, they basically get their background altered that takes them out of the story
Drunk-Ass Anime Cast when
Good on you, you did I good job coming face to face with your past
