Eureka Seven #41

How cow, I can’t believe that it’s been almost two years since I last blogged this series! Where has the time passed? I didn’t think it was that long ago since I posted something about this amazing series, but the computer does not lie unless I program it to. Not much has happened between then, only that I know that my writing has greatly deteriorated if you read my previous posts as well as my lapse in memory. Anyhow, having had such a long span between this episode and the previous one, it’s been a challenge trying to remember half of what occurred. Who are Renton and Eureka again? Heh, my memory isn’t that bad yet, but there’s a lot that still fails to come to mind, and it just goes to show you that if you neglect something long enough, you’ll soon forget it…no matter how important it may be. I last posted about this series when this show was still airing, so I doubt anyone would still be interested in reading anything I have to write about it. Despite that, I still want to complete the series mainly for my own blogging goals more than anything else instead of leaving it in limbo like I have for so many of the other shows I’ve blogged in the past. Just don’t ask me why it’s taken me such a long time to continue this series because I don’t have a legitimate answer. I could make up a number of excuses, but the fact is that I’m finally continuing now, and that’s all that matters, right?

Awww…I really enjoyed watching Norbu and Sakuya’s blossoming love story and their quest to be together despite their inability to communicate with one another. If only all love stories could be as sweet as theirs. Unfortunately, that was the extent of my comprehension for this episode, and the rest was just one big question mark waiting to be answered by someone smart enough to understand it. Was Norbu attempting to penetrate the Great Wall at the point he was being sucked closer to the black abyss? Did Sakuya turn into a lotus blossom because it was meant as a protection from everything that was unfolding, or was it merely because she was able to get past the Great Wall? Is that why she was stuck in that world alone? I’m just wondering…what if Norbu ever did try to enter the portal that separated her world from his? Would it even have been possible for him to do so? I just know that I’d hate to be in Sakuya’s position, being stuck in that lonely time and place all alone. What’s keeping her in there for such a long time, and why is she trapped? Does she need Renton and Eureka’s help in getting past the Great Wall in order to release her from her prison? It’s so confusing at this point, and I fail to understand. Maybe it’s been too long since I watched this show because I don’t remember half of what occurred in previous episodes, but I don’t feel like re-watching the episodes again. Perhaps the Compac Drive embedded in Norbu’s chest is Sakuya’s heart that keeps her alive, or maybe it’ll serve as a compass of sorts that will allow them to find her? I really have no idea at this point, so I’m hoping that the next episode will answer some of these burning questions that I have.
