Taking advantage of the free skins. Thank you Ninja Assassin movie.

Anyway straight to the subject. I was lurking on the internet today after completing some homework when I saw on 2chan a thread about Eureka Seven. It started happening at 2:47 am Tokyo time and it is still holding its own. Some of the talk is about joining the film and the series together and weaving the various myths and references together. Very similar to what we all used to talk about on the forums when the movie first came out and when the forums were still a cool place to be.

However, after many months of becoming embittered and hard thanks in so small part to the nature of the internet, I have a lot of skepticism about this possible "second series" coming true. I don't think anything will come of it to be quite frank.

Why?

Well let's look at the simple fact that there is VIRTUALLY NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A SECOND SERIES COMING. NONE. That pretty much ends the argument in itself. Bones has been SILENT about a possible second series coming out after the release of the movie. I used to have a lot of optimism that maybe in the winter they would start something that would finally end the series, but winter is fast approaching and there is still NO WORD from Bones. All we have gotten so far really is just Darker than Black 2, which, although extremely high-quality, is not E7.

Secondly the nature of capitalism dictates that what keeps business afloat is producing something that is profitable, not because it appeals to a certain fanbase. Simply put, animation studios like Bones do not give a flying fuck about what a fanbase wants as long as they can make a profit. They never have, they never will, they don't care about what you want any more than they care about what Barack Obama wants, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants or Vladimir Putin wants.

THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE.

I know it might sound hypocrticial coming from a former E7 forum member and a dedicated fan, but honestly, after having experienced so much in the last three years up to now, I have severe doubt about any second series coming. If I am proven wrong, then hooray, I was wrong. But if I am right, then I will just say "I told you so." Besides, after much consideration and the fangasms I once had all but gone, don't we have enough E7 to last us years? We got a great 50 episode series, light novels, manga, video games, and finally a movie AND a light novel for the movie. I think enough is enough. This is not to say I don't like the Eureka Seven series anymore, it will always be a special series for me, but there is a point where it gets to be too much. I'll watch the second series if it comes, but I just don't think it will. To all the fangasmic ppls out there who are still clinging to this little commotion of 2chan, I just have to say you guys need to learn when to let stuff go. I already did my bit by letting go of the forums when I signed off for the last time. When I am finished with my E7 movie fanfic series, I will not be making anymore fanfics for it because I know when enough is enough, and I know I have to let it go eventually.

Take a lesson from this.

In other news, College is still being a major pain in my ass this week, but thank God that it will be over by the end of this week. I plan to go with my parents to New York City for Thanksgiving holiday and watch the Macy's Parade from the hotel and go to a Broadway show along with having a cool dinner New York Style. After that I will be returning home to finish off college and get ready to come home to CA for Christmas. Sorry to everyone that I have not been very active recently but it is just life in general is not treating me too well. I have actually broken with a lot of my friends because of the amount of stress I am under and I have been acting like a total ass because of it, not that it is any excuse. When life calms down, I will be on more, I promise.

Until next time, take care.
