Bandai Namco opened an official website on Friday, announcing that the Eureka Seven franchise will receive a movie trilogy. Titled Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution, the movies are scheduled to premiere in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively.

The movies will tell the story of the phenomenon known as "The First Summer of Love" that took place ten years before the original Eureka Seven anime, but was never depicted in full. The movies will then follow the main storyline of the first television anime and contain new dialogues and scenes, revised footage, as well as a new ending not present in the original series.
