Awsome, not only that but they linked to you guys.

"Freshly imported from Japan, the show jumped into Adult Swim on April 15, and scored big in Buzz. It spiked 144% after its first episode aired, and rose another 241% after the second. Both times, it sent boys under the age of 17 racing to the Web for more on its episodes, lyrics, wallpaper, and torrents"


I don't understand what they're talking about there (the number of times it was searched?) but I guess Brian Hanson was right when he said Demographics were the #1 killer of AS ratings.

What're you talking about? It says nothing about torrents on the page. Unless of course, you were being sarcastic, which would be hard to tell.

As for it being on Yahoo's front page, I think it may deserve the hype. I've only watched the first two episodes, and I thought they were great. However, there are plenty more to come, and hopefully they will bring with them the expectations that I've been hoping for. Twisted Evil

Eureka 7 is an excellent series. It deserves all the plaudits it gets.

Maybe you should try reading the article again. Or even the first reply in this thread.

"Freshly imported from Japan, the show jumped into Adult Swim on April 15, and scored big in Buzz. It spiked 144% after its first episode aired, and rose another 241% after the second.

Clicking on "torrents" in the article links to a Yahoo search for "Eureka Seven Torrents".

I too have watched the first two, and agree with SharinganEyes. But I think it started a little off beat, or slow, or not quite grabbing all of my interest. However my personal sources have ensured me it picks up steam. I am looking forward to the series. It definatily after the first two episodes has the potential to go in many directions, I wonder which it will take?(the question mark does not mean tell me where it goes)

Oh, I'm sorry. My fault, my fault. It's a habit of mine to just read the first couple of words of something or to not notice certain words in particular at all. This is an example of the situation Again, I apologize. Crying or Very sad

However, now that I realize it, why would Yahoo be promoting torrents? It's illegal.

Eh, I don't think E7 was really worth hyping. It just felt too average on the whole... It certainly had potential but it was, well, lacklustre to me... which is why I'm too lazy to enter the damn credits for it past ep 42... although the production qualities are practically the best I've seen for a TV series.

But yeah, they're right on about the bloodiness. Here's hoping they don't take out The Bloody Hand, it's a key cog to Renton's emo reactions!

Still - torrents? Does Yahoo know what it's doing or was the writer being cheeky?

This is great, Eureka 7 has been one of my favorite seires since last year. I watched it when it came on one of the Japanese Online Network and loved it. The episodes aired on Cartoon Network were great as well. The dubs were actually good in that one and it doesn't ruin the quality of the show. I really hope for them to come out with more episodes soon.
I do agree that the show deserves to get the spotlight on yahoo.

I think for the torrent part, whomever that wrote the article wasnt too smart about it.

I just looked up the dubbing comapany, its called Bang Zoom Entertainment. Wow, some of the titles on the list are ones that I actually think has good dubs.

When is the other eps supposed to come out? I can't wait.
