History Fridge / EurekaSeven

** On this subject, I discussed with a friend, telling him the turn was blatant and useless just to make a total happy ending (and to be fair, I still think that), and he said it was fairly foreshadowed before (it was, but still...) But on the subject of FridgeBrilliance (or Logic, at least), I have to admit for such a series, the moments of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, especially in the case of Anemone, were brilliant. At first she seemed unrealistic and bratty, but turns out it was just a mask and ''she knew what we knew, that'' '''''[[spoiler:she kept failing]]''''' ([[spoiler:no single victory against Eureka since she met her, for that matter]]. She also knew the price of failure and was well aware that Dewey could dispose of her if she became useless, outright mentioning [[YouHaveFailedMe she could be sent to be killed]]. This may seem like something thrown in for drama, but seriously, how many [[TheDragon top henchmen]] can guess their fate if they fail? ([[spoiler:She lived.]]) - [[Tropers/AnimeAddictAA A.A.]]

*** The book with the ContemptibleCover, originally ''The Golden Bough'' (a study of comparative mythology and religion), is now presumably a copy of Anemone's memoirs titled "New World Story".

** ({{Tropers/Pyrite}}) Cross-posted from the WMG page: There were those who hated the movie for its {{Egregious}} use of StockFootage while deviating from the series in others. But considering how a major theme of the ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' movie is about "rebirth" and "creating your own story" (e.g. Anemone's subplot, the movie's ending theme being titled "Storywriter"), it can be argued that the movie itself is a {{Subversion}} of the standard ClipShow movie, inviting you to draw parallels with the series:

*** Dewey, the series BigBad, [[spoiler: is practically dropped from the storyline]], and Anemone and Dominic are upgraded [[spoiler: from AntiVillain to ObiWan]].

* Renton gets one InUniverse after suddenly realizing that [[WhatMeasureIsAMook all of the enemy robots they had been fighting are nothing short of human beings getting KIA]].

* In ''Anime/EurekaSeven'', one of the many things in the end that bugged me was "The End" pulling a magical Heal-Face Turn and for some reason changing color. The solution seems so blatantly obvious to me now that this might have been obvious to everyone else from square one, but it’s taken me months to realize "The End" is a replica of Nirvash the way Anemone is a replica of Eureka and therefore has the same reality warping powers. I mean, if you’re going to go to the effort to make a copy of the best pilot in the world, it seems a waste not to have the best mech to go with her right? -Col. Schafer

* ''EurekaSeven'': At first glance, [[CrazyConsumption Anemone's consumption of jam]] doesn't seem to be a source of nightmares. Using FridgeBrilliance however, one can tell similarities between her jam... [[NightmareFuel and blood.]] This makes perfect sense, since Anemone is a sadistically demented girl for the series. [[spoiler: Until the last few episodes...]]

* When the Nirvash is upgraded to spec two, the whole body is reworked including the co-pilot system, as the two seats are moved closer to each other. As the Nirvash is an EmpathicWeapon, this is symbolic of Renton and Eureka growing closer togeher.

* Renton gets one InUniverse after suddenly realizing that [[WhatMeasureIsAMook all of the enemy robots they had been fighting are nothing short than human beings getting KIA]].

* In episode 31, Eureka was described as being akin to the Voyager Probe, carrying a message to potential alien intelligences about humanity (Coralians in this case). With this whole deal about Eureka not knowing why shes there, perhaps to not ruin the mission for the Coralians, is to serve as an ambassador of sorts or an open hand... The Coralians noticed the human presence and, despite not coming off as an intelligent species, created Eureka for the two-fold purpose of figuring the humans out and becoming friends with them. Thus her being a "voyager probe" and a blank sheet of paper.
Also, it might being doing what ancient kings have done: Sending their daughter to marry one of their own as an agreement. This wouldn't have worked if Eureka knew why she was there because, much like her past self, it would've been a calculated move and ruined the results of their test.

* In {{Gankutsuou}}, like most people, I thought that the titular demon[=/=]EldritchAbomination[=/=]who knows didn't make much sense as an addition to the original novel. Then, it hit me that Gankutsuou is a warped equivalent to Faria. In the original, Dantes is helped to escape prison by Faria, a benevolent priest, who also shares with him the location of vast wealth. In the anime, Dantes likewise escapes prison and becomes wealthy thanks to someone he encounters in prison, but in this case, it's more like a DealWithTheDevil. This contrast is actually quite clever given that the anime is a complete PerspectiveFlip of the original novel.- @/{{Jordan}}
