Here are two snapshots I took of both the Seleção information chart and what seems to be the only good (uncluttered) Air King image in the movie.  EDIT: Images too large; thumbnailed. |

| Although I got bored of the Saki bits, I still found it to be pretty entertaining. It looks like they're setting No1 as the villain but there's still the supporter to worry about. I thought it was kind of strange that No11 had such a change of heart and decided to help Akira out. |

I thought it was kind of strange that No11 had such a change of heart and decided to help Akira out. not really; if you recall from the anime show, she took a liking towards takizawa before she disappeared other than that i enjoyed the first five minutes than most of the movie with saki and her guns, except for maybe the last ten minutes sort of confused here: so the Air King is loved by the people but hated by the government? i really got lost when they tried to explain that Iiluma Akira (takizawa) would be given all the blame for the missle attacks even though the people would realize he was the Air King, savior of them all |
| I don't even really know what to say. I could watch it fine, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it so much. I mean, I guess it's justified as being an introduction for the next movie but even for an introduction I think it could have been a bit more interesting. But oh well, I still love it and I'll watch it again before I watch the second. |
| o genki desu ka |
| Not much happened, but it really was gorgeous, especially backgrounds. |
| This took a little longer to get to the awesomeness I've come to expect than I would have wanted but all in all 8/10. I assume that the second movie will be so phantasmagorically amazing that I won't even care that this one was a little slow anymore. |
| My gripe was that everyone who died in the series magically appeared alive and well. That irked me to no end, this isn't Dragonball. |
 |
| Wow....what a great series this was and now this movie just makes things so much better......I am happy for one unlike some people who had a while before they saw this movie.....I had fresh memory and so enjoyed remembering how the series was at first to come right away to this movie. This is so long I have to separate in let's say three parts of 30 minutes......let's start with the first one....I was a little confused as to what Saki was doing in New York but things got explained very well in the beginning with Akira adopting Linuma's illegitimate son. I found it brilliant what Hirasawa did with the building Akira bought in the series making it into the project he had in mind but the sign reminds me of Macintosh somehow=> Saki's meeting with Akira was good.....I like it better the first time they met it was more funny but this time around Saki had it more formal let's say. A lot less fan service of Kuroha so that's good. No.6 is nuts.....some movie maker? The guy is a joke in a nerd look=> Pretty cheap of #6 to use that explosion. Dumbo movie part with Saki x Akira with the cover staying in the theater pretty cute I would say. So the ring refereed to a horse ride built before the 80s.....I really though it was more of a marriage proposal to Saki....oh well but during that part #6 with flame thrower was nuts. Good thing Kuroha came around with that Porsche Cayenne. Most disturbing points were Hajime not being dead..what the heck I though Mr.Outside was to kill them when they run out of money....Yuuki is still alive just by destroying his cell phone? Nice twist there......=> |

Panties didn't die just from getting hit by a car, hell, you saw him in the hospital in the last episode of the TV series IIRC. Who else are you referring to, though? |

He is talking about Hajime's case of why he is not dead and I find it strange too but on the bright side Kuroha suddenly changing by not killing Johny was what impressed me most since I find that a hard habit to have let go.....guess Akira did it again. |

| I really enjoyed this. It's best to not think of this movie as a stand-alone movie, because it's not. Things are set up well for the finale...I'm really excited but now I have to wait. |
| Uwaa.. Now, I'm so excited for Paradise Lost. |
| Fantastic, can't wait for Paradise Lost :D |
 |
| This Movie was interesting... Nice way to set it up for the second Movie. |
 |
francismeunier said: I forgot that Saki looks splendid with that dress. I agree. She was so adorable! |
| Anticipated more, but i guess this it prepares for the second movie which isn't that bad. Had some funny moments. NO6 was definietly retarded. No1 seems to be the bad guy now but obviously the awesome Takizawa will prevail! Ending was good;D |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| The only thing I learn from that movie was the location of Juiz. One lesson learn when you are smuggling something do it on unmarked truck! |
| Absolutely loved it, made me remember why I enjoyed watching the series in the first place. The pacing was slow at first but built up well for the ending. Now to sit here and wait for the next movie. :l |
 |
| It was okay. Not much happened to progress the story, but it was still enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for the second movie.

| Pretty good imo in building plot. I hope in next movie they conclude this series well. |
 |
| Well certainly not amazing like the series itself but definitely continues the story well enough and still made for an enjoyable watch. I'm looking forward to the conclusion in the last movie. |
| I watched this a while ago but forgot to comment. For some reason, that square shadow on all of the characters noses in the exact same spot bothered me a lot for some reason. |
| I'll join the disappointed side. I think the slow pace really killed it, unlike the anime in which everything seemed so fresh and new at the time. The only things of interest to me are: - #5 still being alive - #10 faking his death, and coming back to take revenge on... #1? - Who is #12 - How is #2 going to win the game and any other Selecao mysteries. Otherwise, I couldn't care much for a lot of the characters, except maybe King Takizawa, and the NEET with Ikkaku's voice. |
 |
| This is hard to judge since it's a continuation of the anime and it paves the way for the second movie which should be much better. |
| loved it, loved it, LOVED IT. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. It set everything up for what's gonna happen in the second movie. The pacing was nice for the most part, other than the fact that it seemed to take a bit to get things off the ground. Curious about some of the other Selecao charas who are unidentified..... also, did anyone else get a huge kick outa Juiz's attitude toward the movie guy (#6 I think)?? It's obvious that Juiz hates that guy! XD |

| i found it incredibly slow paced x.x it pissed me off not to mention the almost 3 gig dl x,x DAMN YOU DB! |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
gotoKu- said: Somewhere in the end of the TV series, Takizawa sent a bottle of champagne to No.1 and whoever was with him, and that bottle was delivered by the one in the picture named Juiz. I'm pretty sure Takizawa also said something about Juiz delivering it as well, don't remember why anymore though : pWhy is there a picture of Juiz on the character list? Since when was her identity revealed? (Maybe I should watch the series again?) |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
gotoKu- said: At the end like Oosran said when she brought the champagne bottle.....Mr.Outside...has rumors he was the cab driver at the end.Why is there a picture of Juiz on the character list? Since when was her identity revealed? |

Thanks to that I can't work out if I was dissapointed because it was a relatively poor movie or because it kep bloody lagging Bleh, I don't have the enthusiasm to watch Paradise Lost now. If anything I want the whole thing to come out on dvd and watch the entire thing from start to finish but I know if I wait I'll hit spoilers |

| Cliffhanger. Can't wait for the new movie. :3 And the ED is pretty nice. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I'm guessing that the second movie will finish up everything they didn't do in this movie. |
 |
| mixed feelings . . . I liked the characters but it wasn't nearly as epic as the series :/ Just filler before the final movie . . . Can't wait to see how it's going to resolve the mystery!! The ED was cool though and question . . . did number 2 make an appearance? and was the supporter revealed? or did I miss something?? |
 |
| The subtle reference to Catcher in the Rye in the merry-go-around scene did it for me. Very intelligent. I haven't seen the anime series since I finished it last year so the 6-month time passage between this movie and the last TV episode was something I could really relate to. It felt very nostalgic to see all the characters again. In the end, I'm glad that The King of Eden retained the charm and cleverness of the TV series. I can only expect good things from Paradise Lost. |
| I'm really confused about the people who say this movie didn't do anything for the plot development. This movie completely presented what happened to Akira at the end of the tv show, created a conflict with his past being totally erased, showed what happened to Eden and the creators becoming what they were complaining about as NEETs, Introduced two more Selecao, and amped up the stakes at the end with Mononobe attacking the new, roving Juiz. There was nothing stagnant about this movie at all. What I did notice, though was a fluid pace that didn't feel nearly as hectic as the show did. I remember lots of people (including myself) complaining about how fast things went, and how quickly the show would resolve the conflict. So, now that that issue is resolved by changing the medium to film, people are calling it 'boring.' I call it balanced storytelling. By no means am I calling it perfect though, because it does suffer a little from having to set up a few things, while lacking development from Saki and Akira; but to see it get 5s or lower is crazy to me. 8/10 for me. |

That's because people are retards now a days lol. The fast pacing in the series was much welcomed in my opinion. It's one of the few series where fast pacing felt right. The movie lacked it big time which left a less dramatic and more "when is this gonna pick up" taste in my mouth and I think that's why people are pissed off. They're confusing plot development with slowness. I personalty liked it and expect the pace to pick up in the second movie now that members are starting to target each other more openly. |

| I completely agree with noteDhero and DeathfireD. This movie was more like 'planting seeds' for the next sequel, and it did it pretty much damn well. What I really didn't like was being the title 'eden of the east', it didn't really had noticeable development or engagement on that program itself. Now, it is pretty obvious that Eden of the east site is doing pretty much everything, and I liked it. 8/10 for me, too. Pace was slow and content was lacking, but still managed to be enjoyable for me. |
| Even if it wasn't all that exciting of a movie, it did what it had to do: advance the plot. |
| How wasn't it balanced? |
