Could any of you help me with something?

Eureka's name is spelt eureka, but pronounced EL-RECK-AH. Why? That's not how eureka is pronounced.

Maybe because of some Japanese accent.
Let's consult the encarta dict.

eu·re·ka [yoo rkə]
interjection , noun (plural eu·re·kas)
expressing triumph: used to express delight on finding, discovering, or solving something, or on finally succeeding in doing something

Yeah, that really didn't help much. And most people already knew what the word meant. There's actually a funny story that goes with the history of the word.

I have watched one episode and I found the Anime very interesting. If I have more time I will water the other episodes.

its Japanese hallow its how is pronounced in Japanese, and it has no l sound thats only in the english dub.

in Japaese is
"e" as like bet
"u" as in boot
"re" as in rent
"ka" as in caught

It's really ridiculous to think that just because the English language pronounces it different that everywhere else is wrong, when in reality the English dub is pronouncing it wrong because Eureka Seven is Japanese so you should pronounce it like Japanese.

The first few episodes were kindda boring but after half of the series, the story goes really interesting. You should watch it!

to Aoi Sakuraba
Yeah, you're right.
Plus, not all english alphabet is found in Japanese Kanji.
Like there is no letter L in kanji so you have to change it to R.

Why must the Japanese language have so many alphabets?
