So I just watched all 50 episodes in like 3 days, and I was completely blown away, so I thought I'd make sure to announce it to everyone.
It starts out as a mecha style anime series with a 14 year old Boy, Renton Thurston, who lives in a stagnant town with his stubborn Grandfather. His passion is lifting (surfing in the sky), and his role model is that of Holland, a famous lifter and leader of a group called Gekkostate.
Everything's boring until this LFO (mecha that lifts) crashes into the house, completely demolishing it. It just so happens that this LFO is piloted by the mysterious Eureka, a member of Gekkostate. Renton falls in love with Eureka, beginning a quest for love.
It's an excellent story, which completely draws you in, with humour sprinkled in. It gets fairly serious in places and can be quite sad at times (It might even make Kai-V cry, if that's possible). It was rated as a 13, but I've seen loads of comments of people who are older and enjoyed it too. Plus the OST is great.
Some reviews put it down but I've seen more pro's then con's. There's a film which is an alternative version of the story, which I haven't seen yet, and a manga which is similar apart from the ending.
Defiantly worth a watch!
