It causes a phenomenon called Trapar (Transparent Light Particle) - strange energy floating in the air which people use to supply free power to flying vehicles, and even for surfing-like sport in the skies (called lifting or reffing). The main character of Eureka 7 is Renton Thurston, a 14 year old son of Adrock Thurston, who died saving the world. Renton lives with his mechanic grandfather, hating his boring hometown and his father's reputation that surrounds him. He dreams of joining a rebel group called Gekko state, which has some of the best "reffers" too. An opportunity to do so comes up when Eureka, a mysterious girl from Gekko state, visits his grandfather to get some emergency repairs for her robot, Nirvash typeZERO. Eureka 7 is a manifold anime that covers several different themes. It's a story of a boy growing up to become a man, and finding his path in life. It's a story of love between two beings from different worlds. It's a story about fighting to save the planet, and making great sacrifices in the progress. Eureka 7 is produced by Bones studio. It has 50 episodes which are all named after a song. The genres of this series are adventure, mecha, and romance. I usually don't even like mecha anime much, but I absolutely loved E7!
