Bandai Namco has uploaded the first fifteen minutes of the upcoming film Eureka Seven: Eureka Hi-Evolution to YouTube in anticipation of the film’s release.
The upcoming film is the final of a three part film trilogy based on the 2005 anime series Eureka Seven. The previous films premiered in 2017 and 2018 with Funimation distributing the films in English.
The Hi-Evolution film trilogy features an original story which takes place before and during the events of the original anime.
A summary of the original anime series from MyAnimeList can be found below.
In the backwater town of Bellforest lives a 14-year-old boy named Renton Thurston. He desires to leave his home behind and join the mercenary group known as Gekkostate, hoping to find some adventure to brighten up his mundane life. However, stuck between his grandfather’s insistence to become a mechanic like him and the pressure of his deceased father’s legacy, the only excitement Renton finds is in his pastime of riding the Trapar wave particles that are dispersed throughout the air, an activity akin to surfing.
Everything changes when an unknown object crashes through Renton’s garage, discovered to be a Light Finding Operation—a robot capable of riding the Trapar waves—specifically known as the Nirvash typeZERO. Its pilot is a young girl named Eureka, a member of the Gekkostate, who requests a tune-up for the Nirvash. Their meeting sparks the beginning of Renton’s involvement with the Gekkostate as he takes off alongside Eureka as the co-pilot of the Nirvash.
