(5 out of 5 stars)
"In volume 6 of Eureka Seven you get episodes 23 to 26 of the series. In our last volume, Renton left the Gekko after believing he caused Eureka to nearly die. Out on his own, Renton meets Charles and Ray Beams, a couple who take a liking to him, but with an interesting past. Back on the Gekko, the crew must move on without Renton, but Eureka still doesn't know what has happened. As leader, it is Holland's duty to inform Eureka, but will he?
Renton believes he has found a home as Charles and Ray insist he calls them papa and mama. Everything appears to be going perfectly until he discovers Charles and Ray are supposed to capture Eureka and the Nirvash. As Renton leaves the two, they are heart broken, but remain focused on their mission. Eureka finally learns what happened to Renton and is crushed. She longs to see him again, and little does she know, but Renton feels the same. After meeting a strange, but kind man and his wife, Renton decides to return to the Gekko.
In a taste of irony, Renton arrives back on the Gekko just as Eureka leaves it to look for him. She is attacked by Charles and Ray, but can Renton get to her in time? The outcome results in my opinion in one of the greatest scenes in the show.
Episode 26, Morning Glory, is my favorite episode of the show as it is the first where Renton and Eureka are together as a couple. All the episodes on this disc are full of emotion, mostly sadness, but this episode is the opposite. It depicts happiness after quite a few darker episodes in regards to emotions and leaves you feeling good, and a bit wary of the future as Charles and Ray plan a counterattack.
Overall, this is a great disc with 4 terrific episodes of Eureka Seven. If you have read this and have no idea what I'm talking about, buy the first volume of this show, starting it here would be unwise. Still, this disc is the halfway point and contains my favorite episode of the show, I recommend it to all fans of anime."
