Most shonen shows are coming of age stories to some degree or another, they're just not fixated on things that appeal only to children. I liked the scene towards the end of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood where Edward is finally depicted as looking like an adult, and also the scene in the penultimate episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, where the main character has a vision of his long-dead childhood mentor, and realizes he's already outgrown him. Those kinds of things are timeless and mature, as if they're trying to get the best out of their audience. What I saw in the episodes of Eureka Seven seemed like pandering to children. If you want to say that it eventually forms a strong narrative, I will take your word on it, but I can't watch it myself, and I suspect that even if I saw it when I was a child, I still wouldn't like it much.I mean, Eureka Seven is a big coming of age story, Renton starts off acting extremely childish and as the story goes on slowly matures and by the end he is a man.
