About Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean

Meet Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean (Eureka Seven AO), an action, adventure and sci-fi anime by Bones (2012). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: The story is set on Okinawa's isolated island of Iwado, which has seen a growing movement advocating a return to an autonomous government. Ao Fukai, a 12-year-old boy with a missing father, lives on the island with an old doctor named Toshio and is about to enter middle school.

Also worth knowing: Ao's mother was taken away a decade ago by unknown individuals. Naru Arata, Ao's 12-year-old childhood companion and the story's heroine, lives with her father, older sister, and grandmother. She has a "Yuta" strength awakened within her due to an incident when she was young.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Bones, so the studio's house style defines how Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2012, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
