Eureka Seven

Synopsis

In the quiet town of Bellforest, 14-year-old Renton Thurston longs to escape his ordinary life and join the mercenary group Gekkostate. Torn between his grandfather's push for him to become a mechanic and the shadow of his deceased father, Renton finds his only thrill in riding Trapar wave particles, a local form of air surfing. Everything changes when a strange object crashes into his home—an advanced mecha called the Nirvash typeZERO, built to ride the Trapar waves. Its pilot is Eureka, a young Gekkostate member who asks for Renton's help maintaining the machine. This chance encounter launches Renton into a new adventure as he becomes the Nirvash's co-pilot alongside Eureka.
