Filler episode >_>
So Renton is suddenly able to pilot Nirvash by himself all of a sudden?
Eureka is disturbed that Nirvash is acting differently?

It seems the Nirvash activates whenever Renton becomes determined to protect Eureka, and he's been watching her for so many eps that he's bound to have picked something about the piloting up... In addition, Eureka hasn't been able to pilot the Nirvash that well lately... Toss in the fact that the Nirvash seems happy whenever Renton is in it (according to Eureka), and she's bound to be jealous, even though she seems kinda emotionless. But I did love the episode, with Renton this determined, suddenly PILOTING the Nirvash, as opposed to before. The background music during the battle gave it the extra kick IMO.

I didn't know that Renton was so good at riding the Nirvash. Hmm, maybe there will be some Rivalry between Renton and Eureka. That would be definitely interesting.

Renton's uncle and friends totally reminded me of a bunch of rednecks in Alabama.

This is taking an interesting turn for the wose in the Renton x Eureka sense. Obviously it should be fine in the end, but it still doesnt prevent the doubts we're all supposed to have. Can't wait for more.

Filler episode >_>


Filler episode? It showed what Reiton thought about his father, how his father is seen by the military, started a new chapter in EurekaxReiton development and wa a set-up for future developments. This is all but a filler episode.

This episode was good.
Renton was sure riding the Nirvash like a true pro. ^_^
and I think there may have been some love connection between Holland & Renton's sister.

Really starting to enjoy this anime. Eureka is damn annoying, but that might be because I'm watching the english dub and her voice actor is horrid.

Never caught on before that Renton was hispanic. That's pretty awesome!

What a horrible way to end your day...or maybe not. The episode was entertaining, and sobering at the same time. It's too bad this little family reunion had to be tainted so badly by Renton's uncle's misguided intentions. Some interesting issues were touched on in this episode.

It can't feel good to see so many people practically worship his dad in the name of a state that's trying to kill him and his friends. It just all goes so horribly wrong, and poor Renton doesn't understand at all that he's royally pissed off Eureka.

From completely stupid health boom filler to the best episode of E7 so far. Awesome. Would have been interesting to see a bit more unique way to handle the arrest than just having Renton take Nirvash. But although it has been obvious to the audience for a while, that at least made the connection between Renton and Nirvash crystal clear to Eureka and shocked her in some way. Don't think she's jealous, more like worried about Nirvash becoming something bad. But still awesome, that battle was fucking great.

And if they know what they are doing with this, Eureka's background concerning her connection to Nirvash and her personality needs to be elaborated within the next few episodes. After this long not disclosing it seems nothing but an excuse to have her act weird and keep saying "Renton" every few minutes.

This may be the first time that Eureka has experienced jealousy. She doesn't really have a full palette of emotions to work with. I liked Holland's comment to Renton, "Finish what you started..", regarding his relationship with Eureka. Talk it out with her if you have a problem.

I liked this ep. I don't think it's as simple as just jealousy, I'm sure that'll develop.

However, he's piloted it before. When he took the kids in it and e13 when he took Eureka back to the gekko.

Hell yea I've been waiting for him to pilot the nirvash I mean it gets old watching the main character just being a co-pilot....i was beginning to think he would be a co-pilot and a destined mechanic forever
The nirvash probably told her I like this dude much better I don't want you to be my pilot anymore

This ep was alright. I'm suprised at the progress though! I mean I'm not saying Renton has no experience with the Nirvash seeing as it's happy whenever it's around Renton but still... he already knows how to pilot it?

Also i think Eureka is acting a little bummed cause' of the Nirvash.

Maybe she''ll get jealous? Who knows!

Lol damn it seems a lot of people have been sleeping while watching this anime. Why are you guys surprised he can pilot it? He can pilot LFO's because he used to pilot them when they would come in for repairs at his grandpa's garage. This has been explained before, and it's not even the first time for him piloting the Nirvash itself. You could be surprised at how he was piloting it like a boss but not at him just piloting it.

Also i don't think it's simple jealousy that's causing Eureka to act like this. Not sure what exactly, though i do have some ideas but i don't think it's jealousy. At least not the main reason, she might be a little jealous as well.

Someone here understands. Not sure why everyone is so mad at Eureka, but I think it makes perfect sense why she feels that way. She doesn't really pilot Nirvash for fun or to get better and learn tricks like Renton is doing. And idk, Renton just annoys me in general. I started liking him a bit a few episodes back but then it's starting to go the other direction again. And seriously, it's all his fault that his uncle got arrested. I know he's a kid and all, but he can't be on cloud nine all the time or see things in a simplified way. At least Holland told him off at the end.

I hope Eureka doesn't turn into a damsel in distress character, what with Renton now being able to pilot the Nirvash and all. That would suck. :[

And I also hope that Renton doesn't get cocky now that he is able to kick some ass.

Mmm, Eureka is really annoyed about what happened to the Nirvash when Renton piloted it. She mentionned that ''it wasn't the Nirvash''. Did she meant that the Compact Drive was driving it? It's true that he didn't seemed ''alive'' anymore, controlled by something else. The difference was in his eyes.

Renton was pretty badass in the Nirvash. He has piloted it well for the first time (if it was really him who was piloting him). Too bad Eureka wasn't very impressed, nor happy that he saved her :|

it's okey that Renton pilot Nirvash very well for the first time cuz there should be something special for him. i just couldn't understand why Eureka would be mad at Renton ?? I think she should have understood that Renton wouldn't do anything bad for her.

Totally agree with you two. Especially knowing her backstory of course she would be mad if Renton just uses Nirvash as a toy and hurts/kills people because fighting an enemy inside a robot dehumanizes them immensely (and to show off).

I only half paid attention while on my phone messing about and got slightly confused after being bored the first half.

I got the first half and then the end I guess Renton was just trying to save them with the Nirvash but why is it so so surprising he can pilot it by himself? why is Eureka so freaked out it's acting differently? o_O
