Adapted from the hit mecha anime series and directed by its original helmer Tomoki Kyoda (RahXephon: Pluralitas Concentio), the animated feature Eureka Seven: The Movie gives the big screen treatment to the compelling story of two young lovers in whose hands lies the future of mankind.
It is the year 2054 and humankind is on the brink of destruction. A select few are evacuated to colonization spaceships just as the government is about to fire its doomsday device, the Hammer of God. Caught up in the midst of this war are two teenagers, Renton and Eureka, childhood friends who were raised together and became close when very young but were separated when Eureka was kidnapped by government forces eight years ago.
Now, Renton is a soldier enlisted in the Independent Youth Unit 303 of the First Mobile Force, piloting his own Nirvash, a bio-mechanical armour and control system based aboard the aircraft Gekko. Unknown to Renton, a plot has been hatched to extinguish an ongoing alien invasion, a plot that involves not only him, but also Eureka. Reunited, fate will test the young lovers as they fight for the future of mankind and for the fulfilment of their own dreams.
Originally a fifty episode anime series created by Bones anime studio and directed by Tomoki Kyoda, Eureka Seven has since spawned a 23 chapter manga series, four light novels, three video game adaptations and, now, a thrilling feature length animated movie.
