First of all as It may seem that I'm a FAN-boy because the last three topic I done had all been about a certain series. But rest assured than it's not that I watch anime endlessly, I just watch it when I have nothing else to do which is most of the time thanks to a pair of broken legs. (car accident if you did not notice the sudden lack of activity that I had in one point.) Well here I come again with another thought of an anime series.
(By the way, I also play counterstrike, and write articles. [which is my job.] )
This one is obviously of eureka seven, When I put the bootlegged DVD on my player I stayed and watched the first few episodes of what seem like a combination between transformers and Eva. But then as the story got further on I came the realize how good this series was, not just in the plot but in the character and how they (mostly.) behaved human-like.
If I say more I would spoil and I won't until discussion has begun.
EDIT: Yes, I have seen the whole series.

Like you said, the show starts off a little slow and aimless, but really kicks it up a notch once the audience is comfortable with the whole idea of "Sky-surfing mecha". The thing that set this anime apart from all other "mecha-anime", is that [b] I actually cared about the main characters, Eureka and Renton![/b]. I was ALWAYS rooting for our hero Renton. Despite the obligatory young mecha-pilot whining and "I-don't-want-to-kill-anyone"ing, I still found his personality and his actions to be compelling and entertaining.
Being a BONES production, you can expect some superb animation (fluid movement and original character designs). A kaleidoscope of colours are used throughout the show and there are no obvious uses of CG (or re-used footage ). Eureka 7 also features a dynamite (Dyno-mite! >.<) soundtrack, with a mix of trance, j-pop and a little j-rock.
Eureka 7 warranted a running length of 2 seasons (50 episodes) and rightly so. My only gripe is the slightly slow start, but frankly I couldn't care less after watching the whole show and absolutely loving it. One of my favourite new (if not all-time) anime.
Oh well, that means I can't spoil it.
Note: The guy who does Vash is also the guy who is going to be Ichigo in the english dub of Bleach. He was one of the original Power Rangers. /fangirl
