Title Synopsis:

EUREKA SEVEN
For Renton, every day¹s the same. Nothing happens, nothing changes. He
goes to school, he goes home. The only thing that keeps him happy is
lifting on his ref board. Nothing exciting ever happens to him. Until one
day, a giant mecha called an LFO comes crashing down on him literally. And
inside is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen! The thing is, though,
the girl, named Eureka, is on the run from the military with her stolen
mecha, and she¹s brought trouble with her.

Renton will have to summon up all his courage to face his childhood hero;
get the girl he¹s hopelessly smitten with to like him; and­oh yeah-live up
to the legacy of his father who saved the world. But hey, at least it¹s not
boring anymore.
