Eureka Seven: Part One
K**S
Well done upscale (also HD issues explained)
For what FUNimation had to work with, I would say this is a pretty decent release. I've noticed some sound/music level issues, but nothing major(and that might also just be my setup).Anyway, there are many reviews of this bluray that rate it low. This is mostly due to 2 things.1) it's an upscale and not native HD2) it's in a 4:3 aspect ratioMy response is that this series was never created in a format that would allow for native HD. This is an old show from 2005 and was created before capturing animation in HD was common practice. The material available to FUNimation was NOT in HD. It was an SD source. Also, it was never wide screen and the only way anyone ever would have is if they were manually cutting off the top and bottom with a zoomed in display. Just thought i would throw all this out there.

They'er IN! No Spoilers Here!
Eureka Seven part 1&2 have come in the mail and for the price you can't go wrong. The Series spans 50 episodes and for 32$$ for dvds its the cheaper and more economical buy. I for one will get the blue rays eventually but for now enjoy it's original format. The blue-rays are just an upscale 1080i so yeah. Anyways this in the Anime Legends category of the once know distributor Bandai Mecha/Romance/coming of age anime genre. Its a total classic in everyway. Top ten anime in my collection for sure. Buy it, watch it, and tell your peeps oh its chok full of Special features with the cast, director, and much more. Enjoy Anime Lovers!

Played Perfectly
My wife loves this series. Was great. No scratches. No problems. Worked well. PS3 and Computer (Blu Ray Player) perfect flow, even on a 144hz monitor on my computer.The series was a little weird. I would just rather watch Gundam Wing or Neon Genesis Evangelion (If I wanted real self-punishment). Too bubbly and hippy for me. My wife loved it though. Watched it 4 times through while doing homework as background and as just full enjoyment.

A well put together release of a no doubt classic series.
I never owned the original Bandai release due to their absurd pricing scheme so when I saw this, I just had to jump on it. Eureka Seven is one of the first anime series I ever saw, and it is with little doubt the reason why I got into other anime series.In this box set you'll get the first half of the series along with a bonus feature disc. Unfortunately, that bonus disc is just merely a DVD instead of a Blu-ray disc. It mostly includes commentaries and interviews for the voice cast, but I don't find much value in those kinds of bonuses so you won't notice a quality loss between the formats. There are no episodes on the DVD so don't worry about that either.For image quality, it's as good as you could expect from a series that aired back in 2006. It's not going to look outstandingly crisp like say, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Soul Eater, but it's definitely better than the broadcast quality it had back when it aired on adultswim. It is after all, only 1080i in 4x3 ratio. Nonetheless, it has the classic Bones (animation studio) look to it that I personally thoroughly enjoy.For sound quality, again, it's about as good as you could expect. Funimation did not appear to make any special effort to go beyond its original 2.0 audio for either English or Japanese. I did notice that there was an occasional popping sound in quieter scenes on my surround system, but nothing distracting or highly prevalent.All in all, if you've been on the fence about purchasing this series, then this release is probably as good as it's going to get.

That it has robots the trans4ms in2 veichles and ride surfboards and the clouds and fight 2 pals.
I really liked it and it was okay and really funny and a whole lot awesome and breathtaking,but it was a little crazy there but at the end the made amends and made friends with each other as I hope that they will still be friends in part 2 pals2.

I love this series
When this series was first aired and I saw it, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. Immediately I was into the first episode and really liked it. There are sometimes you're going to be like 'they whine too much' well, yeah they do and it'll get better!

Eureka Seven Part One
Here we go this box set contains eps 1-25 of a 50 part anime.One of the best around up there with Ghost in the shell 1st and 2nd gig.By no means the longest of animes as the Gundam series is a lot longer.So to the story it follows a 14 year old boy called Renton who embarks on a jorney of dicovery. When one day a mysterious LFO crashes into his room and destroys it.When the pilot emerges he is suprised to see that it is a young girl about his age maybe a year older.Thus the adventure begins he joins up with Eureka and the rest of the Gecko State in their fight against the military.The action is fast paced with some comedy mixed in.In the first box set there is action secenes plenty of mecha and a good dose of fantasy.Set on the planet Scub coral where they use the wind or trapas for a sport called lifting. These trapas also help generate power which helps power the LFO's which are used by Gecko State and the military to keep peace and fight wars.As the story progreses through the first 25 episodes we learn all about the Gecko State and its crew along with the relationship between Eureka and Renton and Nirvash the LFO they pilot together.This is 25 action packed episodes in one box set. Which is what makes this such a great anime and at such a cheap price for the two box sets well worth the money.So why not buy it today.

One of the best mecha animes
This is an awesome series with awesome story and with awesome characters. And of course the music is awesome.There are no filler episodes every single episode are necessary even the recap episode. I totally recommend you to watch this. It's a must watch for anime fans like myself. It's one of the best mecha anime. Like code geass and none genesis evangelion.Both English and Japanese is awesome have a great time

Good anime but flawed presentation
Eureka's seven by Studio Bones is a highly enjoyable anime with well established characters (so you would expect, its a whooping 50 episodes long!). The animation and art style are THE BEST I have ever seen on a made for T.V series and although the plot can be rather flimsy in places (the desperation illness desperatly needs better explaining) it then makes up for it by giving lots of style where the substance is lacking. My one gripe is that you rarely get much in the way of D.V.D extras and on disc 3 the picture is off at the top of the screen and you can see the runnig time which is frustrating. All in all Eureka's seven is an highly enjoyable series very much worth your money and if your after a new boxset to tide you over you would be hard pushed to find better.

Perfect!
It came much earlier than expected and is in perfect condition! The discs are shiny and clean and it all looks brand New!Nothing was damaged at all and the price was very good. I would definitely recommend this seller.I am very happy to have this series on DVD as it was very hard to find a region 2 version, Thank you!

Fun to watch!
I really missed out Eureka Seven when it was going on TV around 2005 - 2006 I think? Which I decides to get the Season/Parts disc instead.
