cyranoVR's Journal: Eureka SeveN Questions

Ok, I just finished watching Eureka SeveN. While finishing the series wasn't the same level of catharisis as finishing Neon Genesis EVANGELION, it was satisfying. For once, a happy ending! Anyway, here are the questions I have, which weren't really answered during the series.

1) What was the "Summer of Love?"

2) What is the Seven Swell?

3) Is Anemone a Corallian?

4) What is the "Dispair sickness?"

5) What exactly is the Compac Drive?

6) What is the political structure and history of their world? The Council of Sages, the Voderac, the wars they keep refering to, etc. They have this army, but no apparent enemy nation.

7) What they heck was humanity doing for 10,000 years after they left Earth?

8) An explanation of the last scene of the series. What is the final resolution?

(I understand that Japanese anime producers count on Otaku buying and reading all the source books associated with a series, so that they don't have to cover everything during their limited air time).

I don't know but I care

2) What is the Seven Swell?

Seven means 'perfect', seven swell means perfect erection, which is a yearning for all men.

3) Is Anemone a Corallian?

Anemone turns to coral after tens of thousands of years. This is a phenome
