The trailer for Eureka Seven AO came out today, as well as a bunch of other information. I am overflowing with all the feels.
Voice cast announcement!
It is good to have Kenichi Yoshida art animated by BONES in my eyeballs again. Beautiful gorgeousness is beautiful.
It's so exciting to see trapar again. I am so ecstatic to be back in this world and to explore how it's evolved.
I'm unfamiliar with most of the voice actors, except for Chiaki Omigawa, who I am most pleased will be lending her adorable little voice to the show.
My reaction to finding out that Nakamura Koji is doing the music went as follows:
"It's not Naoki Sato??? :(" --> "Uhh, wait, who's this guy?" --> *looks him up* "Oh, he's the guy from Supercar. He made some good songs for the original soundtrack! Wonder if he's done anything else." --> *looks up music* "......I am not worried anymore."
I hope AO retains some of the original show's themes. Like, a huge part of the original series was how love helps people change for the better and recover from their suffering, which was represented mostly though a number of wonderfully different romantic relationships. Familial love was very important in that series, too. I think that theme would be perfect to carry over into AO and explore further. I know it won't go the same way, of course, but it would be awesome to get that thematic cohesion between the two series.
Also, cameos will make me cry. Just putting that out there. Omigod, I haven't even thought about how Anemone and Dominic might fit into all this, oh god oh man oh god.
The only thing I'm kind of iffy about is the fact that there's an all-female squad of mech pilots who wear uniforms. This bothers a little me because 1) it sounds a little gimmick-y, and 2) I really liked the lack of uniforms in the original series. I felt it kind of contributed to the show's free-spiritedness, if that's the right word? Ehh, whatever. It's really not that big a deal.
Basically, I just want to be watching this right now. Where is April?
