For the guy who was wondering about the infocards and graphics that used in Hi-Evolution and particularly the SoL sequence:

Starting at ~1:30.
Otherwise ITT what would you have focused on in the compilation movies to make them not terrible like it looks like they're going to be?
"After the movie there were some brief comments by Kyoda and he mentioned that this is the first public showing of the movie and that the audience reacted very differently than the industry audience. I can’t say I’m surprised at all — before the movie the MC asked if the audience was familiar with the original series, the movie, and AO and AO was met with outright boos from the audience. After Hi-Evolution I felt like that I frankly understood the idea behind Eureka Seven even better than the creators. To point: after the credits there was a small teaser trailer for the second movie, which Kyoda thought of as “Anemone 7” (who doesn’t appear at all in this film) and it shows, of all things, the soccer filler episode being re-animated with the mechs being used to play soccer and Anemone (along with possibly a few of the AO girls) appearing in a flashy magical girl sequence! Kyoda admitted that they aren’t quite sure if the entire film will take that tone, a film due out in 2018 I might add, and I was left feeling more confused than ever. Few people liked Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers and fewer still enjoyed AO. Every person I spoke with thought this movie was a mess."
>make compilation movie with new footage
>make the retelling out of order?
>change plot details from the show, but then contradict those changes?
>the sequel is going to be all about anemone and re animate the soccer episode

I have no idea what you just said but all I know is I was about 85% sure this movie was going to suck. For the record I enjoyed AO a lot more than the Pocketful of Sh*t movie. Another thing I noticed is Renton's dad made facial expressions the way Renton would if he was having a dramatic moment so this version of Adrock fits better than the ultra serious guy from the show.
If they really have no idea how to make a coherent film then they should have released a novel or web novel if they didn't want to waste $ on paper printing.
All in all, from what I see the film fails to answer what was probably one of the show's biggest faults being detailed world building. From the first episode I had no idea what anything was and all the way to the end I still didn't know what the world was like aside from a few repeated names of cities and the like. All in all, I think the show was trying to eat more than it could chew.
