FUNimation films is bringing the first in the Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution trilogy to theaters across the U.S. in early February and we have an exclusive clip from the movie. In the video, Charles Beams, a freelance mercenary and former SOF member, takes rookie Renton Thurston for a ride in a mech,and they battle three enemies at once. If you’re a fan of mech anime and Studio BONES, the production company behind My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater (just to name a few) then you’ll want to check out this clip.
The below clip is from the English dub, which boasts a cast of beloved voice actors like Johnny Yong Bosch (Renton), Crispin Freeman (Holland) and Stephanie Sheh (Eureka).
Here’s the official Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution movie synopsis from Funimation.
It all begins with the story that was left untold—the earth-shattering incident where Renton’s father disappeared. With the mysterious pilot Eureka by his side, only Adroc Thurston could undo his own mistake, sparking the event that changed everything and earned him the title of a hero. Now, ten years later, Eureka lies in critical condition as Renton leaves the crew of the Gekko. But when he finds himself in the care of his father’s old friends, he has a choice to make. Either stay with the loving family he’s always wanted, or earn the love he seeks.
The first film in the Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution trilogy will be played on Feb. 5 with English subtitles but those who want to hear the dub have to wait until Feb. 7. Fans can purchase their tickets through the official Funimation website, which also has the theater locations that are showing the film.
