Hi - Evolution), the second film in the trilogy.
For
the first time in the Eureka Seven franchise, the film will be set in Tokyo. The film
centers on Anemone, a girl who lost her father in a battle in Tokyo seven years
prior to the film's story, leaving her with only her stuffed toy Gulliver, and
the AI concierge Dominikids for emotional support. Now she is a key part of a
strategy by the experimental unit "Acid" to combat the seventh
Eureka, "Eureka Seven," an enemy of humanity that has killed 2.6
billion people. Driven to the brink, all of humanity entrusts its hope to
Anemone as she dives deep into the interior of Eureka Seven.
The staff
remained mostly the same as the first film, but added Takuhito Kusanagi and Fumihiro Katagai as designers. Shigeru Fujita and Ayumi Kurashima remain credited as
character animation director, but were also credited as sub-character
designers. Kenta Yokoya was credited as
mechanical animation director and design works, while previous mechanical
animation director Shingo Abe was credited as one
of the main animators, alongside Hideki Kakita, Shuichi Kaneko, Ken Ootsuka, and Nobuaki
Nagano.

"Nirvash X" mecha appears in the
film. Shoji Kawamori (Macross, Last Hope) designed this new version
of the franchise's
