It is great to see the return of the characters in an older form to see where they’ve come with the fight in their own world, but they create a unnecessary problems in this world of 2025, although this may be the point. Eureka and Renton, after he finally shows up, appear as little more than cameos or plot devices required to link the story presented here to that of the original. While the questions do end up answered, the story still feels out of place of the original Eureka Seven. Additionally, a lot of questions about the character of Elena Peoples end up frustratingly executed, as it ends up amounting to a lot of misinformation that leads to nothing making an potentially interesting character with hope of development left feeling like a red herring to just complicate matters. The role of main antagonist changes hands multiple times, in part to one of the most overpowered weapon in anime, but is able to maintain some semblance of progression. With all the time travel mucking about, the plot does finally start answering questions adequately, although some of these are still done ham-handedly. Interestingly enough, when the show finally establishes that time travel is in fact involved they waste no time in setting up self contained time travel logic scenarios, like characters meeting a past version of someone after meeting a future version in the past, which of course creates a nice sense of predestination. Spoilers, although it should be apparent that it’s time travel, because the story wasn’t complicated enough.

Thankfully, this is the point were the series finally gets around to answering some of its burning questions, such as why is it 2025 when the original series took place in 10000 something. Reappearing from a similar beam of light makes perfect sense then and Ao is finally able to spend quality time with his mother eating food rations, fumbling to bring up the fact she’s his mother, and noticing that she is in fact very pregnant. When Part 1 ended Ao had finally been reunited with his long lost mother after disappearing in a beam of light at a Scub Coral 10 years before. Will Part 2 be able to satisfy all these questions and resolve the problems of Part 1? Or will flounder under the weight of the questions it has already raised?
While Part 1 had some problems, such as the stark contrast with the original series, it did provide an interesting plot, even if it just kept piling on the questions of just what was going on. Starring Eureka’s son, Ao, the sequel series focused on the fight between the humans, Secrets, and the Scub Coral in a world very akin to our own in the not at all distant future. Eureka Seven: AO Part 1 saw the return to the Eureka Seven story after the series ended years ago with almost all new characters and a very different setting.
