Bandai Visual has announced at Anime Boston 2017 that Funimation will be distributing the Eureka Seven Film Trilogy – Eureka Seven: Hi-Evolution in US theaters. The project is produced by Studio Bones.
The first part of the trilogy will be released this Fall in Japan with the following two parts being released in 2018 and 2019. While there aren’t many details about the release in other territories, it has been confirmed that they are working to bring the films to Australia, UK, France, Signapore, Malayasia, Indonesia, and Thailand in the future.
Funimation also provided a synopsis for the films.
Ten years ago, the major earth-shaking “First Summer of Love” event occurred. Renton, who lost his father during the event, now attends the army school of the United Federation of Predgio Towers located in the border town of Bellforest. Because his late father is still praised, Renton feels something is lacking as he continues with his ordinary, boring days.
Then one day, Nirvash, the world’s oldest LFO, appears in front of him and a girl named Eureka emerges from the cockpit. This was the beginning of the future of humans and Scub Coral, another intelligent lifeform.
Was this encounter all just a coincidence? Or was it fate? Where will Renton and Eureka’s journey end?
