Angelic Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I am surprised I am attached to this anime. It's really interesting, and it has a few cute moments. I'm not one to get all fan-girly and such when I see anime couples, but I do admire some, and find them cute.That being said, the anime itself has a great storyline (which I won't spoil), but it's about changing the world. Several candidates were selected and given an account with a large sum of money and were told they were to change the world with it. When the money runs out, they are killed. The main protagonist however is suffering from amnesia, and isn't sure what's going on, as he was selected to be one of these candidates. It talks a lot about America, and 9/11 it seems, and terrorism. It's a pretty interesting storyline though, if you're into that whole mystery type of anime.The anime is short though at only 11 episodes, so it'll leave you desiring more. It really has sort of a message behind it though, and it definitely kept me entertained.The dub is fair, however a lot of the lines in it are corny. I'm not really a "I HATE DUBS/SUBS" kind of person, so really, you'll have to use your own judgement. The dub is by Funimation though, if that means anything to anyone.

Koby Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Have you seen the movies? There is 3, but one is nothing more than a re-cap of the series. The other two continue the story where the series leaves off. So the actual ending is the movies. I really enjoyed this show when it aired in Japan, I watched it fansubbed. I purchased the FUNimation Blu-ray over the holiday when it was on sale for about $22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† ballard Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for the info Koby. I think I'll wait until April to start watching the movies then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnawind Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I liked the series also. I haven't seen them yet and am patiently waiting for them to be released in bilingual format. I personally won't watch a movie subbed. I don't watch any show subbed unless they are less than half an hour each, since that is all I can watch at a time that is subbed.

Koudelka Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've almost finished watching the series and i really like it - and I don't mind the dub either (unusual for me i know!) ...now to find some HD space for the movies I'm incredibly impatient when i get hooked on something and must have all of it as soon as possible!

Trend Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I really enjoyed this anime, although the first episode, more specifically the first few minuts, almost deterred me from watching this series completely. But I'm glad I kept watching and let the plot imerge haha. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot was full of mystery and very intresting. Although it ended with a bang, well I still want me more. But like koby stated there are movies that continue the story so can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLostFool Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 After completing the 11 ep series and the 2 movies up to "Eden of the East the Movie II: Paradise Lost". I am wondering if there will be any more to follow up? If you've seen the last movie, after the credits he goes off to find Mr Outside who he does find they speaks of him doing favor, that they still have a lot to do. Does anyone know if there will be any more eps or movies to come?All in all a great anime, and the movies are awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike00 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 That bit was awsome Koby. At the end of the second movie, after the credits. They just might do a second season. That would be cool.I love that show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
