Higashi no Eden

Eden of the East is an idea I like. The execution does leave me bore some of the time. It has funny characters and an interesting story, but it's just didn't catch my attention.

I really enjoyed the setup because the naked guy with revolver no memory and a girl who needed to get away from the cops. It is wonderful start

mystery just keep building up and it is fun, so I don't question it. But there is a point where the story gets so b*** and so much stuff is happening so I'm just like. I have to tap out, I can no longer keep up and I'm just trusting the story to make sense for somebody who truly care .

I like the character design they are So cute round in the designs. Characters are fine. They do the job. I just think the show lacks something,

I like the themes, and what the story is about. The way it's told just keep me bored. I mean this is mostly in the movies where this is happening ,this show is a good setup, but the movie is just don't stick the landing, so all this is a fine experience.

Higashi no Eden (Eden of the East) is an 11-episode series concluding with 2 films between 2009 and 2010.

The animation studio is Production I. G. A short, exciting series that deserves the public's interest. Funny, ironic, mature and of very high artistic quality.

Attractive character design, a rich soundtrack and, above all, an incredible script.

The characters are endearing and have depth, which is quite a change from certain productions.

The only drawback is that some of the plot is not easy to understand.

The scenario is reminiscent of Robert Ludlum's novels, and the adventures of Jason Bourne come to mind when I think of this anime.

The characters were well put together like you do get the "Terror in resonance" vibes but at the same time, the plot didn't seem that interesting. A guy who is a charmer as well as a terrorist who has a ton of naked nerdy men worshipping him.....ok that's just plain odd. I mean odd in a meh way. I mean I would've liked if this anime was rather serious then lighthearted like I think it wouldve fit better on the show.

Yeah it's an alright anime but I wouldn't be bothered watching the 2 movies anytime soon cause couple of the episodes I watched did drag on. The anime did tho get a few bunch of great English Dub cast (J Michael Tatum for instance) so that's the main reason why I'm giving it a 7/10!

Eden of the East, a backwards translation of the John Steinbeck Novel East of Eden, is a very mysterious and thrilling anime, following Takizawa and Morimi. The series starts following a series of ten missile strikes on uninhabited areas of Japan, which do not claim any victims. We then move on to three months later where we meet the two main characters of the series: Takizawa is first seen outside of the White house naked, and it becomes apparent he hasn't any memory of his past. He soon meets Morimi and they create a tight bond. Takizawa seems to be involved in an organization consisting of ten 'Selecao', each of whom are given ten billion Japanese dollars, which cannot be directly made into money, but can be used at there disposal. He is also given a phone like gadget, with which he can contact a concierge name Juiz, who in no time at all seems to be able to make any request a reality. The job of the Selecao is to 'Save the Nation', and if they cannot do so before there 10 billion budget runs out, they are killed by the 'Supporter', which is someone no-one knows the identity of. The organization however becomes more and more mysterious, as do the other 9 members.

To try and be balanced i will first try to outline what i believe isn't good about this SHORT anime. Well that is one of the points right there, it's length. Each episode runs about 23 minutes, and there are only 10 before it's all over. That means that the series is all over before you know it, and in my case i was more than ready for more. The second major problem is one which is a big let down in my own humble opinion, and that is that other than the main few characters, the other characters hardly gain any depth, and just seem like cardboard cut-outs, shipped straight out of the typical anime character guide-book. However there is much good to comment on. Firstly the anime has a lot of charm; a unique sense of humour, and great character design. The main characters are also very interesting, and are never short of an interesting situation, and aren't just cardboard cut-outs; they have a lot of depth. The plot is not only very interesting, but also very well crafted and executed, with each episode running smoothly, adding more and more to the story.

So overall the series is very good. If there was more attention to the smaller details, such as the lesser characters, and if the series was longer, the rating could be higher.

First off, to anyone who watches this, the show keeps talking about "Neets" and at first I thought that was something specific to the show but it turns out it's just a slang term that you can look up on wikipedia, which I would advise if you don't want to keep wondering about it the way I did for half the series.

As for the show itself, Eden of the East is an entertaining little anime series with an interesting premise. The main character is likable and mysterious, although only a few of the characters have any real personality. The story is engaging and has a number of clever ideas in it.

On the other hand, I have a few issues. While I watched this as "the complete series," it is actually more like a first chapter of a longer work, which is why there are a couple of movie sequels (the first of which was wretched; haven't seen the other). Also, the central premise is fairly nuts, and you never get any really convincing rationale for it.
