Greeting

Minami: ‘Hello. Nice to meet you all. I’ve come here from Japan. My name is Minami and I work at the animation studio Bones. I am pleased to be able to meet everyone today. Thank you.’

About the new project ‘Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution’

Minami: ‘It was announced two weeks ago in Japan, but I’m here to officially make the announcement here in America.

We will be producing a three-part anime movie adaptation of the series from twelve years ago. You have seen the promotional video that caused a buzz in Japan, but I will briefly explain the characters who are involved in the newly depicted “First Summer of Love”.’

・Hammerhead

A new craft which appears in ‘First Summer of Love.’ Designed by Yutaka Izubuchi.

・Devilfish

It is the Terminus that Holland Novak piloted in the TV series, but its gold version will appear this time. I can’t go into too much detail but please look forward to it.

・Eureka

Eureka’s pilot suit from ‘First Summer of Love.’

・Adrock

Renton’s father. In the TV series, he only appeared in pictures or flashbacks, but this time we plan to have him actively involved in ‘First Summer of Love.’

・Nirvash

This is a brand new setting which hasn’t been released before, even in Japan. It is a new setting of the Nirvash depicted in ‘First Summer of Love.’ I can’t show you now, but please look forward to the action scenes in the movie. We have gathered up great friends that will help us to make this movie, including the TV series director, Tomoki Kyouda, Dai Satou (screenplay), and Kenichi Yoshida (character design).

About development hereafter

Minami: ‘The work that we announced to everyone here today will be released in Fall 2017. In Japan, we hadn’t actually announced the fall release date, but the first work will be released this fall and after that, it will be one movie per year.

Also, we plan to simultaneously announce developments in North America, the UK, France, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and more. Funimation is in charge of North American releases. Distribution in North America has been confirmed so please sit tight for more news.’

Final greetings

Minami: ‘Thank you for gathering here today. I had a very fun time. Please look forward to Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution and other new works from Bones.’
