I was a little daunted going into Eureka Seven, what with it being the longest anime I've watched to date (I don't normally watch anything over 26 episodes in length). However, after the first few episodes I was completely hooked. Most of the mecha I've watched (with the exception of Full Metal Panic!) have been quite dry and just action and more action. Eureka had an engrossing storyline, well-rounded characters, and a lot of good romance that kept me hooked all the way until the last episode.

Rise Against's new album, Endgame came out a few weeks ago and I've had it playing on loop since then, and, nearing the end of watching Eureka, I listened to Satellite (definitely the best song on the album) and it hit me: I have to make an Eureka AMV to this song.

Satellite was the perfect song choice. It describes breaking away from your superiors who are forcing you to make the wrong decisions (Holland and Eureka breaking from the military to form the Gekkostate, or Dominic trying to save Anemone from being destroyed and replaced). The lyrics also fit amazingly well for things like "I passing over you like a satellite, so catch me if I fall.", which perfectly fit the mecha theme. Also, the song is so fast-paced and awesome (for epic mecha battles), but also has a very low-tempo bridge (perfect for my favorite scene in the show between Dominic and Anemone).

This was also a perfect chance to relieve myself of writer's block. Working on Sorrowsong has been harder and harder to do as of late and I needed to take a break, and this AMV gave me the perfect excuse to take one. I hope you enjoy!
