Higaši no Eden

I really enjoyed this show. It is well and fast-paced with a good atmosphere, a great storyline, and a lot of interesting ideas. There is a bit of a love story and a main male protagonist who really cheered me up because he was just a nice guy. I really enjoyed this show, and the eleven episodes flew by at an incredible speed. The ending, where they shoot down the missiles, is a really well-executed and effective spectacle. I enjoyed it very much, and I just could not give it a bad rating if I tried, if only for "Johnny Hunter," otherwise, he is going to find me and cut my... 8.8/10. (30.12.2016)

If you tried to categorize and recommend Eden of the East to me, you'd have a tough time of it. The story of Saki and the strange foreigner works like a fairy tale, despite not containing an ounce of magic. It can play with romance, and yet all the emotionally strong moments seem to happen almost by chance. And in the end, the entire main plot is about uncovering the past or flying rockets, but when I recap the whole series, I remember something completely different. That the charm of the normal and believable can be so strong, even with a lazy storytelling pace like this. (12.07.2015)

I took a breath, and when I exhaled, the series had just finished its eleventh episode. It still kind of makes me bawl my eyes out. I somehow just fell in love with our prince. I'm very fond of Kenji Kamiyama's work, and he didn't disappoint. From the good opening by Oasis to the convoluted plot that I lovingly followed, I loved this anime. The characters, the animation, the soundtrack. Everything was top notch. I'm just a little sad about the ending, I probably would have liked a more concrete ending, but then I still have two movies to go, so I believe I'll see my "concrete" ending after all. An adult anime that left me with a very strong feeling in my gut that I was watching something really good. (29.08.2010)
