>enjoyable once you drop your expectations
I can generally appreciate "it's so good it's bad", but I'm scared it'll sully my fondness for the original. I guess time will tell.
I am about to watch Eureka Seven AO. Why does Yas Forums call it dogshit...

DONT DONT DONT
Just keep you Eureka 7 memories with you and don't destroy them.

If you just do what everyone else does and vehemently deny its legitimacy you'll be alright. But the more you enjoy E7 the more AO will sit uneasily the further you go. Hearsay is the creator was extremely butthurt about how happy the original ending is and has been trying to inject terrible endings in every iteration since, especially if they can undermine the original ending

I've read these claims as well, but I'm honestly thinking it's a case of Bones not understanding what made people love the series. I've only read the synopsis for the new films and dismissed them without oven watching them so I'm not an expert on how bad they really are. That said, my impression when reading about the "IT WAS ALL A DREAM" plot of the new films, I get the feeling that they're looking at EVA and its 2deep4you plot and want to make something in that vein themselves. Often I get the feeling that authors, and people in general, mistake good sci-fi for having to be convoluted to be good and thought provoking so they can feel superior for "getting it" and waking over interepretations for all eternity.

Yea I thought there was too much orchestral stuff as well though. I mean it's basically the entire naming convention of everything and "counter culture" (or whatever the fuck) runs throughout the whole thing. It's just kind of lame that even in this context it's still gotta be more fucking Jpop

It's top 3 worst sequel
1. Virgin Souls
2. AO
3. DtB S2

I understand your sentiment even though I don't share it. Personally, I enjoy the orchestral score a lot and it did quite a bit for my enjoyment of the series.

In Eureka Seven AO case it's not that they didn't understand what fans loved, they didn't even understand what the series was about. For the sequel they did not call back any of the original writers, not even the main composer, and brought in a completely new staff that had their own ideas and essentially rewrote all the lore and characters. People blame the director for making it a Rahxephon 1.5 rather than a E7 sequel, but I have not sources about how much influence he actually has.
