'''''Eureka Seven''''', known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''''Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven'''''|交響詩篇エウレカセブン|Kōkyōshihen Eureka Sebun|{{lit}} "Symphonic Psalms Eureka Seven"|lead=yes}}, is a Japanese [[anime]] television series created and produced by [[Bones (studio)|Bones]]. The series was directed by [[Tomoki Kyoda]], with series composition by [[Dai Satō]], character designs by [[Kenichi Yoshida (animator)|Kenichi Yoshida]] and music by [[Naoki Satō]]. ''Eureka Seven'' tells the story of [[List of Eureka Seven characters#Renton Thurston|Renton Thurston]] and the outlaw group Gekkostate, his relationship with the enigmatic mecha pilot [[List of Eureka Seven characters#Eureka|Eureka]], and the mystery of the Coralians. The fifty-episode series aired on [[Mainichi Broadcasting System|MBS]] between April 2005 and April 2006.

The series spawned six manga adaptations, a light novel, three video games and a feature-length anime film which was released in April 2009. One of the manga titled ''Eureka Seven: AO'' which was serialized in ''[[Monthly Shōnen Ace]]'' between January 2012 and October 2013, was further adapted into an anime series which aired twenty-four episodes between April and November 2012. ''Eureka Seven'' was well received by critics and earned several awards at numerous award shows in Japan, most notably the 2006 Tokyo International Anime Fair.

: ''Eureka Seven'' takes place in the year 12005 and it has been 10,000 years after humanity has made a mass exodus into space, due to the arrival of the {{nihongo|Scub Coral|スカブ・コーラル|Sukabu Kōraru}}, an intelligent, sentient life who merged with the planet, forcing the humans to abandon it. In the current timeline, the remnants of humanity are now settled on an unknown planet known as the Land of Kanan, but the majority of the surface of this planet is now covered by a rock-like surface formed by the Scub Coral. The theory that the Scub Coral is an intelligent life form was proposed by the scientist [[List of Eureka Seven characters#Adrock Thurston|Adroc Thurston]], who also claimed the Scub is looking for mutual co-existence with humanity. All theories and information about the Scub Coral being a sentient being are kept from the general population. In addition to being the surface of the planet, the Scub Coral has several physical manifestations, called {{nihongo|Coralians|コーラリアン|Kōrarian}}, that are observed throughout the series. These manifestations are either natural occurrences or a response to attacks from humans. The manifestations are:
; Command Cluster Coralian
: The Command Cluster is a large concentration of the Scub Coral which acts as the central mind for the rest of its "body". It stores all the information the Scub has collected over the last 10,000 years, and keeps the rest of the Scub Coral in a dormant state.
; Kute-class Coralian
: A Kute-class is massive sphere of concentrated energy that materializes suddenly in the skies. Though it is a rare natural occurrence, they can be artificially triggered by causing heavy damage to the Scub Coral. The disappearance of a Kute causes a massive release of energy, ravaging the surrounding landscape and lowering the Trapar count in the area to almost non-existent levels.
; Antibody Coralians
: Antibody Coralians are, as the name suggests, creatures created by the Scub Coral to destroy anything nearby that might be causing it harm. They are unleashed in massive swarms through a Kute-class Coralian when the Scub Coral is threatened or attacked. These antibodies can range in size from as small as a wheelbarrow, or as large as a bomber plane. Their shapes vary wildly, from eyeballs to flying slugs to giant hovering flower-like objects. Most forms are based on the sea creatures they absorbed when they just started their 'growth'. Their powers are: sending lasers in profusion from their bodies, thus being able to destroy large aircraft, burrowing into a victim's body and imploding it (unconfirmed), and creating a spherical void, which makes anything within its surface area to vanish. Antibody Coralians generally appear in response to deliberate attacks on the Scub Coral. They appear for 1246 seconds (20 minutes 46 seconds) - which is the amount of time the Seven Swell phenomenon is active. After those 1246 seconds, they crumble to dust. Their appearances are that of basic invertebrates such as flat worms, mollusks, and cnidaria. One of each kind appears in ''[[Another Century's Episode 3: The Final]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]]''.
; Human-form Coralians
: Human-form Coralians are beings created by the Scub Coral in the form of humans. They are regarded by scientists as emissaries of the Scub Coral, sent to learn about humanity. Humans have attempted to create their own artificial human-form Coralians, but the results are often less than satisfactory. As shown with Eureka in the sequel series, human-form Coralians are biologically capable of reproducing the same way as humans do; she gave birth to a daughter and son. However, due to her children being Human-Coralian hybrids, the high level of Trapar would be too dangerous for them.
; Trapar waves and lifting
: In ''Eureka Seven'', as a result of the Scub Coral covering the planet, the atmosphere is permeated by an enigmatic energy known as {{nihongo|Transparence Light Particles|トランサパランス・ライト・パーティクル|Toransaparansu Raito Pātikuru}}, dubbed {{nihongo|Trapar|トラパー|Torapā}} waves for short. Norbu, the Vodarac leader, states that all thought carries with it energy. As a result, a sentient life form on the scale of the Scub Coral produces a tremendous amount of energy. The most important use of Trapar energy is its use as a method of propulsion for flight-capable vehicles.
: Though Trapar-propelled airships are relatively common, using Trapar waves for {{nihongo|"lifting"|リフティング|Rifutingu|or "reffing", according to some fan translations, as well as official translations in some countries}} is their predominant use. Lifting uses surfboard-like devices called "reflection boards" ({{nihongo|"ref boards"|リフボード|Rifubōdo}} for short) to ride Trapar waves in a manner similar to [[surfing]], and is a popular sport in the series. The most grandiose use of Trapar—massive humanoid fightercraft—are a recent development, made possible by the discovery of bizarre alien life-forms within the Scub Coral.

===Plot===
{{see also|List of Eureka Seven characters{{!}}List of ''Eureka Seven'' characters}}
The series focuses on [[List of Eureka Seven characters#Renton Thurston|Renton Thurston]], the fourteen-year-old son of Adrock Thurston, a military researcher who died saving the world. He lives what he considers a boring life with his grandfather in a boring town. He loves lifting, a sport similar to surfing but with trapar, a substance abundant throughout the air, as the medium. He dreams of joining the renegade group Gekkostate, led by his idol Holland Novak, a legendary lifter. 
    
An opportunity to do so literally falls into his lap when a large [[mecha|mechanical robot]], called the Nirvash type ZERO, and [[List of Eureka Seven characters#Eureka|Eureka]], its pilot and a member of Gekkostate, crash into Renton's room. Renton's grandfather orders him to deliver a special part to the Nirvash called the "Amita Drive", which releases the immense power dormant within the type ZERO called the "Seven Swell Phenomenon". Afterwards, Renton is invited to join Gekkostate, where he quickly discovers that the behind-the-scenes life of Gekkostate is hardly as glamorous or as interesting as printed in the glossy pages of their magazine, ''ray=out''. Only one thing makes it all worthwhile for him: the presence of Eureka, the mysterious pilot of the Nirvash. Renton, Eureka, and the Gekkostate embark on an adventure that will shape their future as well as the world's.

==Development==
The series was made by Bones and co-produced by Bandai Entertainment. Bandai Entertainment provided the title and handled the creative aspects of the series.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bandai Co-Producing Eureka 7|website=[[Anime News Network]]|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-02-03/bandai-co-producing-eureka-7|access-date=2012-02-02|archive-date=2012-11-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108072647/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-02-03/bandai-co-producing-eureka-7|url-status=live}}</ref> Bandai had originally proposed a mecha anime series to the animation studio Bones. The studio had initially rejected it, but later reversed its position because it had already planned to create an anime using mecha designs by [[Shoji Kawamori]]. With the appointment of director [[Tomoki Kyoda]] and writer [[Dai Satō]], Bandai's proposal was more or less scrapped and the staff began work on their own series that would become ''Eureka Seven.''<ref>{{cite journal|last = Shida|first = Hidekuni|date=March 2006|title = Eureka Seven: Catch the wave|journal = [[Newtype USA]]|volume = 5|issue = 3|page = 46 }}</ref>

While conceptualizing ''Eureka Seven'', Kyoda "wanted something that reflected the music and the subculture of his generation—and a love story."<ref name="dsinterview"/> As such the show contains several references from music of the 1980s and the 1990s, and almost all of the show's episodes are named after real songs, composed by both Japanese and foreign artists.<ref name="dsinterview">{{cite interview|date = 2005-11-29|last = Sato|first = Dai|interviewer = Doug McGray|title = Dai Sato talks with Doug McGray about anime|url = http://www.japansociety.org/resources/content/2/0/5/4/documents/sato_mcgray%20interview.pdf|format = PDF|work = Japan Society|location = New York|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150226115639/http://www.japansociety.org/resources/content/2/0/5/4/documents/sato_mcgray%20interview.pdf|archive-date = 2015-02-26 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Eureka seveN "alternative soundtrack"|url=http://www.intercontinuum.net/e7altsoundtrack.html|access-date=2006-03-20|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909134425/http://www.intercontinuum.net/e7altsoundtrack.html|archive-date=2012-09-09|url-status=dead }}</ref>

The director wished to design the series as one that would at first focus on the personal elements and conflicts of the characters, then subsequently move the framework into a broader scale and perspective. The series' two halves each have their own very clear focus that reflects this design choice.<ref>{{cite journal|last = Kyoda|first = Tomoki|date=February 2007|title = Eureka Seven: Home at last|journal = [[Newtype USA]]|volume = 6|issue = 2|pages = 30–31 }}</ref>

With the premise of the surfer robots in mind, Satō interviewed several real-life surfers and came to the conclusion that they are close to nature. From this perception, he envisioned the environmental thematic as central point of the story. He said "I thought it might be an effective message for children, especially in Japan. It's pretty veiled. I didn't want to be preachy."<ref name="dsinterview"/>

''Eureka Seven'' consists of fifty episodes which aired from April 17, 2005, to April 2, 2006, on the [[Mainichi Broadcasting System]] and [[Tokyo Broadcasting System]] networks.

''Eureka Seven'' was available for online viewing on the [[Adult Swim Fix]], [[Adult Swim]]'s online video service before its televised debut on the Adult Swim channel between April 16, 2006, and ended on April 29, 2007. Adult Swim traditionally cut down the opening and ending themes from each episode to fit the series to American television's time restraints, which resulted in the final episode's first airing having actual content cut from it as the episode originally had no theme song sequences; it was re-aired properly the following week. In Canada, ''Eureka Seven'' premiered on [[YTV (Canadian TV channel)|YTV]]'s ''[[Bionix (TV programming block)|Bionix]]'' block on September 8, 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Eureka Seven to Premiere on Canada's YTV September 8th|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2006-09-05/eureka-seven-to-premiere-on-canada%27s-ytv-september-8th|access-date=2021-06-07|website=[[Anime News Network]]|archive-date=2021-06-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607213141/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2006-09-05/eureka-seven-to-premiere-on-canada%27s-ytv-september-8th|url-status=live}}</ref>

The English version was produced by [[Bang Zoom! Entertainment]] in Burbank, California. Following the 2012 closure of Bandai Entertainment, [[Funimation]] acquired the rights to the TV series and re-released the series on Blu-ray and DVD in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|title=Funimation Licenses Eureka Seven TV Series|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-25/funimation-licenses-eureka-seven-tv-anime-series|website=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=25 November 2013|archive-date=2013-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131128065139/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-25/funimation-licenses-eureka-seven-tv-anime-series|url-status=live}}</ref>
