Eureka Seven (full title "Kokyoshihen Eureka Seven" 交響詩篇エウレカセブン and also known as "Eureka seveN) is an anime created by BONES. It's their first original work (as in not written or commisioned by another party) and is set for 50 episodes.
Whilst this is Bones' first original work, a few similarities from their other works can be seen, such as a bunch of rag-tags going on a journey (Cowboy Bebop), a teenaged boy leaving for said journey and learning the true nature of his world and of those he knew (RahXephon).
There is also some claims that Eureka Seven has some ties to Neon Genesis Evangelion but most of this stems from the Seven Swell Phenomenon in Episode 2 looking like Evangelion's Beserker Mode and Eurka's apprence and attitude matching that Rei Ayanami's These claims are, however, not taken seriously by fans of ether show.
Plot
Eureka Seven is about a 14 year old boy named Renton who encounters a young girl named Eureka when she crashes her mecha, a LFO named Nivash Type Zero into his grandfather's repairshop. After succesfully evading a military attack that soon followed, he flees with Eureka to join her on Gekko-Go, a Gekkostate airship run by Renton's idol Holland. From here on the story follows Renton as he tries to make his advances to the sometimes socially confused Eureka and growing up as an adolescent.
Another aspect is the snowboarding-inspired "reffing" which involves riding particle waves in the atmosphere called "Trapar". It is this method that is the isperation for one of the show's most powerful basic move, the "Cut Back Drop Turn" and also allows for Bone's trademark style of impressive combat.
