How has this show held up so well in comparison to most mecha shows since, especially with the botch job that was AO?

E7's a top 3 anime for me, but there were definitely some good mecha stuff that came out since then.
But I don't think I've seen a show post-2010 that has the same huge scale, unique setting, broad range of influences, and just a general sense of soul like E8 did.
The 00s was the last hurrah for huge tv mecha anime projects like that, though we have had a handful of interesting seasonal shows like Gargantia and Gridman that operate on a smaller scale.

There are a shitton of other mecha shows that aired, but they haven't been as talked about, and the mecha shows that were popular weren't that good.

It stuck the landing. Honestly that's a huge part of how a show is remembered.

Eureka 7 is a ripoff of Nadia.

Wow, it must be time to rewatch E7 again because I don't remember this shot
Also I have to say that it's crazy how good this show looks, it's a visual masterpiece. Especially considering that it came out right around the time everyone was just starting to get used to digital, yet it still holds up and even surpasses a lot of modern shows with its visuals.
The colors are vibrant and pop without looking like over-saturated candy which is something I noticed in a lot of 00s shows. The line work is also super crisp, the story-boarding is top notch, and yoshida's character designs aged so well. There's a distinct y2k-aesthetic that the show perfectly embodies. And to top it off it consistently does this for 50 episodes.
I think that's the one thing I miss, having long form shows with no breaks that have an end in sight. It just feels like there's a sense of grandeur and epic when you have an adventure story told over that length of time.
nowadays we're given chunks of 13 or 26 episode seasonal adaptions of stories that might not end for years. The waiting and uncertainty of a conclusion takes a lot out of me, and I usually don't have the time to go and rewatch S1 all over again just so I can feel like what I'm watching is continuous.

You're off by a couple of years. Though it famously had a chroma subsampling position mismatch somewhere in the production path that was fixed by some of the rippers, but, as expected, left as it was on blurays.

We all know the number is 49 or less.

that's because the only mech show that made any impact since was SSSSGridman and Attack on Titan

Eva many series inspired by it (like E7) pretty much made it so mechs don't have to be robots
Eli Long
it still isn't mecha

Y2K was the best aesthetic. I want to go back

AO was better than the first series in every aspect, move on

Luis Murphy
AO is for people that hated the original
Joshua Price
E7 is such an amazing show, definitely one of the best realised fantasy worlds and the influence of the creator's favourite music genres is really nice.
The final Dominic/Anemone scene is still one of my favourites, it's so good.
Kevin James
I didn't hate the original, AO was just better.
I don't want (You)s, that is how my opinions normalize.
Brandon Allen
Angel Evans
the main cast was such a fucking shit
but then you get everyone else who were worth it
that and all the OPs (3 > 4 > 2 > 1) and EDs (1 > 4 > 2 > 3)
Noah Parker
>AO was just better
oh man i sure enjoy monster of the week episodes and overly convoluted plots about timeline fuckery and being so shitty that Bones needed to fix the ending years after the fact on a fucking pachinko game
Dominic Price
Best intro has best reaction gif
Noah Allen
nothing tops Days for me
absolutely iconic opening
Wyatt Richardson
just every part of the 3rd OP was Kino for me
Renton just dropping from the Nirvash to save Eureka
Taking her to dodge Anemone
Anemone seeing them together and slowly breaking down (which segways into OP4 nicely)

But without the Island arc
also best couple are the same age

You say that with sarcasm but I unironically enjoyed that.
Austin Hernandez
Soul.
Unironically.

It would've worked if they kept the same writing team past the first few episodes. Their lack of focus and being restricted to 26 episodes is one of the few things that did AO in.
James Thompson
>especially with the botch job that was AO?
I will always love AO OST and the first Eureka reunion, it was soulful, I don't know how bones goes full retard at the end, always the same shit with them.
