It has been released in Japan on Blu-ray and DVD, along with an OVA titled "The Flower Fields of Jungfrau". An additional episode titled "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" was released on YouTube to accompany the release of the Eureka Seven: AO pachislot game. This so-called "final episode" was split into four parts, with the first part uploaded on January 10, 2016 and subsequent parts in one-week intervals. On May 16, 2013, Funimation announced the official release date in English dub.

The story revolves around Ao, a young boy living on the island of Iwato Jima in Okinawa who becomes the pilot of the Nirvash, a powerful mecha which belonged to his missing mother Eureka, and embarks on an journey to find the truth about her disappearance. The Japanese language title follows the original series' motif of using the names of songs as episode titles, but each AO episode has a thematic second English language title.
