Eureka Seven: Volume 3 (Special Edition)
The action ramps up inEureka 7, providing series director Tomoki Kyoda and his crew with a showcase for their skill at choreographing air battles. The military and the crew of the Gekkostate pursue the Coralian, a mysterious storm that manifests itself physically, electro-magnetically and psychologically. Renton and Eureka enter the Coralian in the Nervash; at the same time, young officer Dominic and the bratty Anemone attempt a similar maneuver in their ownmecha. Their encounter produces a shattering crash that leaves Eureka and Anemone in shock. As they attempt to aid their respective partners, Renton and Dominic establish the kind of rivalry tinged with grudging respect that characterizes many of theGundamadventures. The story development takes place in the first three episodes; episode 14 rehashes previous events, presumably for viewers who started watching in the middle of the series. The Limited Edition  includes a T-shirt and the second volume of the manga adaptation by Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou.
