New "mythos" to still feature Renton, Eureka from original television series
The May issue (on sale on April 10) of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine will officially anounce that an Eureka Seven movie has been greenlit for production. Director Tomoki Kyoda (RahXephon movie), character designer Kenichi Yoshida (Overman King Gainer), and special effects director Yasushi Muraki (Ah! My Goddess: The Movie, The Skull Man) will reportedly return to animate with new mechanical designs, as well as a new form of storytelling that differs how the BONES anime studio produced the RahXephon movie. Although the creators are promising a new Eureka Seven "mythos," it will still feature the Renton and Eureka characters that starred in the original television version. Bandai Entertainment released both the original anime television series and the manga spinoff in North America. The Adult Swim television network ran the program in the United States.

So, I sit down at the computer to find an excited message from a friend of mine, announcing a movie for Eureka Seven.
Being a pretty avid fan of the series myself, I'm pretty excited to see how this turns out. The anime ended on kind of open note, so I'm wondering if the movie will be related at all to the ending, or if it'll take place sometime during the series, or if it'll just be a complete spin-off from the main series. No specific details have been released just yet, so I'm gonna have to keep an eye out, and I'll try to update whenever I get more info.
So, any other fans of the series 'round here? Whaddya think?
