「ベター・デイズ・アヘッド/last message」 (Betā Deizu Aheddo)
“Better Days Ahead”
I’ve never been more of a BONES fan than I am with this show, because it took real guts for them to do something truly different with AO rather than take the path of least resistance and make a pale imitation of the beloved original.

「妖精さんの、ひみつのおちゃかい」 (Yōsei-san no, Himitsu no Ochikai)
The Fairies’ Secret Tea Party””
Perhaps more than any great series of recent vintage, Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita has stubbornly refused to let the audience get a handle on just what kind of show it really is.

「メイビー・トゥモロー/the day」 (Meibī Tumorō)
“Maybe Tomorrow”
Whenever and however the last two episodes of this series arrive, they’re going to have their hands full wrapping up this story.

「荊姫」
“Ibarahime”
As OVAs go, this one definitely falls into the “unaired TV episode” category. But in this case, that’s not a bad thing.

「妖精さんの、ちきゅう」 (Yousei-san no, Chikyuu)
“The Fairies’ Earth”
I’m starting to run out of ways to describe how Jinrui continues to amaze me.

「ドント・ルック・ダウン/Third Engine」 (Donto Rukku Daun)
“Don’t Look Down”
That’s all of Team Goldilocks present and accounted for, then.

「妖精さんの、ひょうりゅうせいかつ」 (Yōsei-san no, Hyōryū Seikatsu)
“The Fairies’ Survival Skills”
Just pretend you slipped on a banana peel and it’s Sunday again…

「ラ・ヴィアン・ローズ/Johannson’s book」 (Ra Vian Rōzu)
“La Vie en rose”
When we write the book on Eureka Seven AO, I suspect we’ll look back on this episode as the one where all the pieces started to come together.

「妖精さんたちの、じかんかつようじゅつ」 (Yōsei-san-tachi no, Jikan Katsuyō Jutsu)
“The Fairies’ Time Management”
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

「ガーディアンズ・ハンマー/next phase」 (Gādianzu Hanmā)
“Guardians Hammer”
If I could have picked any series to go on a two-week hiatus, AO definitely wouldn’t have been it. But it’s surprising how quickly everything came flooding back once the episode started. I still have no idea what’s happening, but at least I know what I have no idea about.
