Just got down to watching the first episode of Eden of the East.
I guess the picture pretty much says everything. As it was once said, “Why have fanservice when you can have MANSERVICE!”. And you get plenty of that this episode.
Good thing they censored it out or we’ll all be rolling on the floor scratching our eyes out. ^^”
Close up. Just because.
Certainly a very interesting way to start a show. Animation quality is good and we have DECENT ENGLISH. We don’t often get those in anime that’s for sure (I’m looking at you Koukaku no Regios).
“OH MAH GAWD MAH EYES!!!”
And who goes up to the White House and tries to throw coins into the fountain from outside the fence? It just screams “Arrest me!”.
Beyond the manservice however, the show certainly puts up a very interesting setup.
A missile attack on Japan, a naked man armed with a gun appearing outside the White House, a mysterious conversation, and the said naked man getting mind wiped right in front of our eyes.
Nice phone
REMEMBER APPLESEED!!! Mind control via communication devices exists!!!
The show certainly gives off some serious Jason Bourne vibes and even this is referenced in the show.
Nothing screams “terrorist plot” like losing your memory and coming home to find your cupboard full of weaponry and fake passports.
That’s some serious ammunition there
I wonder if he speaks Kansai-ben…
A mysterious organisation abandons their agent mid mission and mind wipes him.
What is that mission and what is this organisation and it’s purpose? Judging from the heavy equipment and the setting, it can’t be small.
Makes you wonder what that poor girl has gotten herself into.
This is looking to be an interesting show indeed.
Mass naked child events?

What kind of Anime is that? Got naked boy somemore….
For some unknown reason I expected this to be a romantic comedy…but I’m pretty sure he said “Jason Bourne” at some point.
MY EYES!!!!
I’m surprised they use an English band song for the OP, Falling Down by Oasis.
Not an anime guru here, but the only other anime I know of in recent years, that use popular/mainstream English song is Hellsing ED, Shine by Mr. Big.
Probably Wolf’s Rain have an English song too if I remember correctly.
Will give this series a try when I have time.
@hyperX
sci fiction and mystery apparently
This looks to be one of the more interesting shows this season. I was quite looking forward to it and so far it’s got my attention. It feels like it could be a movie. It was pretty interesting hearing actual good English in it, and the OP being completely in English. Quite a unique setting for an anime.
@Persocom: If I remember correctly, the finale is set to be a movie.
i hope it will be good. and the stop motion for the ED is quite cool i have to say.
Also Ergo proxy, the song at the ending is “paranoid adroid” from radio-head (great song in fact). see you dudes
