What happens

Eureka Seven, known in Japan as Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven (Japanese: 交響詩篇エウレカセブン, Hepburn: Kōkyōshihen Eureka Sebun; lit. "Symphonic Psalms Eureka Seven"), is a Japanese anime television series created and produced by Bones. The series was directed by Tomoki Kyoda, with series composition by Dai Satō, character designs by Kenichi Yoshida and music by Naoki Satō. Eureka Seven tells the story of Renton Thurston and the outlaw group Gekkostate, his relationship with the enigmatic mecha pilot Eureka, and the mystery of the Coralians. The fifty-episode series aired on 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. A sequel anime series, titled Eureka Seven AO, aired 24 episodes between April and November 2012. A manga version of Eureka Seven AO was serialized in Monthly Shōnen Ace between January 2012 and October 2013. 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
