[UNBOXING] Eureka Seven Ultimate Ed.

About a month we gave you the lowdown on what to expect from our long-time coming Eureka Seven Ultimate Edition Blu-ray release, and this past weekend at the MCM London Comic Con event we were able to offer the first-chance to own this release!

Now, hot off the production line and delivered to our HQ in Glasgow we have a near finished sample of the final product – the only part not included in the sample we received being the discs. So rather than waiting until we had a 100% finished sample with all the discs inside, we figured you’d be very interested to know how things have turned out so today we’re going give you an unboxing of this release! (Obviously, the discs will be included in final version of the release.)

In case you missed the details of what to expect from our release, have no fear as we’ll bring you up to speed on all the details you need to know.

ABOUT EUREKA SEVEN

Synopsis: “Renton Thurston is a 14-year-old boy who lived with his mechanic grandfather in a backwater town. Every day he dreamed of being with the mercenary “Light Finding Operation (LFO)” aircraft pilot group “Gekkostate” and riding “Trapar” particle waves– a sport called “reffing”– with their charismatic leader Holland, especially when faced with his father’s acclaimed past or his grandfather’s desire to protect him. When a young girl named Eureka riding the original LFO, the “Nirvash typeZERO”, asks his grandfather for a tune-up, she inadvertently brings the attention of the military to the garage; as a result, the garage is destroyed and Renton is forced to deliver a new type of interface– the “Amita Drive”– to the Nirvash.

After a heated fight in which the Nirvash destroys the military LFOs by unleashing an immense amount of power, Renton is invited into Gekkostate. However, he quickly realizes that behind the facade of a traveling group of mercenaries is a very bitter reality.”

WHAT’S INSIDE?

The entire series, 50 episodes, in both English and original Japanese with subtitles, plus a slew of extras across the discs too. (More details on the discs themselves below.)
The discs will be housed inside two separate digipacks (pictured top right), and those digipacks will then be housed inside their own rigid case (top left) so they can sit proudly on your shelf with your anime collection. The rigid case & digipack are the same height as other releases of ours – so it’ll fit like a glove into your collection. The artwork used on the rigid case has not been used on a home video release before! Worth noting that this packaging (rigid case & digipack) is exclusive to our Ultimate Edition and will not be available separately.
Also included an A3 sized poster (pictured bottom right) that will be house on arrival inside its own poster tube inside the same box as all the other contents. This won’t be available separately.
And as if that wasn’t enough, we also have an exclusive A4 sized 144-page Art Book (pictured at the bottom in the centre). It’s been presented as though it was a copy of the in-universe magazine “ray=out”. Inside it combines every possible bit of art we could get our hands on; there’s loads of art included that has never previously been released in the United Kingdom before! All that included has led to the book being divided into the following sections –
- Part 1: Characters
- Part 2: LFOs
- Part 3: The World of Eureka Seven
  - 3.1: Settings
  - 3.2: Props
- Part 4: Animation in Action
- Part 5: Artworks

It’s safe for us to say that no art book of this kind has ever been created for Eureka Seven; so works as an excellent companion piece to the series itself and will not be available separately.

And it’s also worth us noting all the contents will be sent in purpose built packaging to safely store each individual component during delivery. This box itself isn’t part of the Ultimate Edition, but is simple a box designed specifically for shipping the Ultimate Edition in. This concept was something we first tried with our Fullmetal Alchemist Ultimate Edition release last year and we were very happy with the results of that. Following on on from that we’ve taken feedback of our own, coupled with feedback we received from both customers and the retailers who shipped them, to create packaging that the Eureka Seven Ultimate Edition will be shipped in.

(For details on what’s on each disc, please see the end of this post.)

PHOTOS OF THE ACTUAL PRODUCT

We’ve got A LOT of photos to get to. We’re also going to be showing you how it will arrive when you receive it. As we’ve mentioned a few times now, the actual finished stock – including the units we’ll have available at MCM London Comic Con this weekend – will have the discs inside. But this near finished sample we’re showing you today does not.

Have a look below, and if you want to enlarge the photos you can by clicking on them.

The Ultimate Edition comes packed in two boxes, plus a layer of bubble wrap. Here’s a glimpse of the outer box

As we mentioned, there’s also a layer of bubble over the top of the second box

Here’s the second box. This is purely for making sure contents are safely stored during delivery. But rather than keeping it plain, we decided to jazz it up a bit 🙂

A Look at all four spines of the shipping box

And as you can see on the side, is primarily for shipping purposes.

We open it up and what do we find first? The A4 sized art book

Underneath the book, the remaining contents

Let’s get to the box housing the series first. Here’s the rigid case, cellophane around it

And the reverse side of the rigid case, cellophane still around it

And now the all four spines with the cellophane around it

Now with cellophane removed, the rigid case

Here’s the first half of the series digipack, it will hold four discs total. The outer side (top) and inner side where the discs will go (bottom)

Now the digipack for the second half of the series. The outer side (top) and inner side where the discs will be (bottom)

Now onto the A4 Art Book. It’s been made to look the in-universe magazine, ray=out. Here’s the front

A look at how thick the book is, 144 pages, plus what you see when open it

The contents of the book – POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING FOR UPCOMING IMAGES

First up, a glimpse at the character section

Another glimpse of the character section [NOTE: The lighting went a tad weird when taking this photo; so please disregard the fact the pages in this picture are a different colour]

Then we move onto the next character. For the sake of avoiding any potential big spoilers, this the last page of this section we’ll be showing.

Moving onto section 2: LFOs. [NOTE There’s a cool design for the start of each section, but again to avoid potential spoilers we’ll only be showing off the layout for the final section starting page.]

Moving onto section 3: The World of Eureka Seven.

And onto section 5: Artworks. As promised, here’s a glimpse of how the dividing pages that start each section are presented.

And that everyone, concludes our unboxing of Eureka Seven Ultimate Edition! Available from 20th November. But if you’re at MCM London Comic Con this weekend, we’ll have limited copies available to purchase (while stock lasts) at our All The Anime stand.
