Dolega said: OMG!!! this was totally LAME. I just finish watching the series + the two movies on one sitting. The 2nd movie added some nice elements to better understand the whole story; but at the end I felt like throwing myself in front of a car. The series and the first movie were awesome in my book. I really envy those of you that like this movie and/or the ending. You literally made me LOL!!! |

| I thought the movie was fine. I liked it overall but the ending just had me like =3= .... What happened to Takizawa??? D: |
 |
| Some of your expectations are too high. This ending was VERY confusing at first but it was NOT unsatisfying. Those who want more SakixTaka makes me laugh. Their love throughout the anime was not that deep. But I be a hypocrite if I say I don't want them to be together. The Air King can be seen as my majesty Lelouch vi Britannia, both had some love with girls around them but end up with no one. |
| weird ending .-. it was a good movie. 7/10 |
| It was a good movie, but I think that in the overall, it was a bit too easy. I mean, Takizawa resolution was really childish, to believe that everyone would obey him like sheeps. That kiss was satisfying, though I don't mind that he dissapeared from her sight, it make their separation more meaninful and show how much Takizawa can be immature, which I don't mind, it's part of his nature. The after-credit was cute :P I didn't really understood that call from Mr. Outside at the end. What was that sound supposed to mean? Was it supposed to erase their memory? That why Mononobe didn't reconize Yuuki? I think that the Iinuma side-plot was really unnecessary. It didn't really had anything to the story, expect that now the ex-prime minister wife respect, which is not that relevant... Anyway, I'm still glad I watched the movies, they were entertaining, even if they felt really weaker than the first season. |

| I think the movie itself was pretty good. Compared to the previous one, it really unveiled some important things and it did deliver us, at least, SOME kind of entertainment. But overall, Eden of the East was quite a huge disappointment. I can't say there weren't any kinds of enjoyable moments, but at the end it seems like lacking lots of things and I feel sad for the whole idea which hasn't been realized in the whole amount it could've been, it really had big potential to be...... |
 |
| No Taki x Saki? Fuck that shit. Except for that the movie was pretty good in my books. Giving the whole series an 8/10. |

| I didn't know if I should laugh or cry, "I will come back, promise" "we never saw him again" Like, wtf.. 8/10 from me, a great overall anime, but a very, very unsatisfying ending in my opinion. |
| much manga, such anime |
| Personally I liked this conclusion it really fit Takizawa's character and I'm glad that Yuuki got run over >:3 I would of preferred a SakixTakizawa ending, but you never know he could always show up in the future. The way Mr.Outside choose the players was kind of funny. The biggest shock for was that Saki and Takizawa were only together for 11 days, so damned much packed into so little :P Anyways a good finale for me. |
| It's 01:00 AM at the moment and I am left with a WTF...meh expression on my face, "That's it? No...really?" Were my first words when the credits rolled. The 2nd movie was built up as the answer to all our questions but it just answers the useless ones and left the key questions unanswered. Le sigh... Can't believe how weak Saki is. Can't she see that Takizawa will always put her second? He has bigger things on his mind and romance doesn't seem to be on his agenda. I feel so sorry for Satoshi Ohsugi, he truly tries to win Saki's heart but he is ignored and can't compete with the mysterious and "badboy" Takizawa. Isn't it such a cliche scenario?? haha I still don't get why Takizawa was naked and carrying a gun in the first ep of the series. Why?! The 12 participants were not nearly developed enough! Take Mirai Nikki for example. I can name all 12 Future Diary users and match them with their numbers. I can't even remember more than 5 of the Selasao :/ What was the point of wasting precious screentime on the Movie maker selasao anyway? His actions were pointless and he was never developed. Waste of potential. Oh well, anime endings tend to leave me unsatisfied. It's an art to end an anime properly :3 |

Waste of potential. Oh well, anime endings tend to leave me unsatisfied. It's an art to end an anime properly :3 pretty this, we can clearly see that there is no romance really, since takizawa didnt had romantic feeling for Saki and Saki had no romantic feeling for Satoshi, all one=-way love, the anime have never explained why Takizawa was naked at the white house( we can imagine scenario but) we can may be suspected that sel #1 who have trapped him. anyway will give a 7.5/10, story itself was not so bad |
Bluuberry said: Well, I just want to ask something in regards to Selecao No. 11, Is she a threat to No. 9 or not? Well, She did held her hand to help Saki and Akira but what's really her goal? and apart from that, Why does she want to target and murder men at night? Does she have any grudge or anything? No, she is not a threat to No. 9. She targets and murders men that rape or otherwise violate women, and that's because its hinted that she was raped or violated earlier in her life. But seriously am i the only one whos bothered by the fact that Akira never fulfilled his promise to Kuroha? Because of that i'll give it 8/10, wouldn't care less if Akira never returned to Saki. |
| still some unanswered questions but a nice film overall. I found the series more interesting than the movies. 8/10 |
| Recommend me an anime |

Had to answer this... lelouch ends up with C.C... that's the whole point of code geass's ending, why would lelouch had saved C.C if he was gonna abandon her in the end? Anyways i don't have time to explain all the ending but just think of it: if C.C was left alone in 100 or 1000 or 10000 years she would've tried to kill herself again and there wouldn't be a lelouch to stop her this time. |
 |
| That's it? really? well that's dissapointing. I was expecting a more solid conclusion. Oh well. 7/10 |

| When they kiss and that song started (like in the anime season) was so cute! I just wish the end was a bit better, maybe if they were together...the story was good, but I feel like a little more development was missing here...7/10 |
 |
| LOL at this whole Johnny thingy. |
| the fat guy got really big roll this time. haha do u want to like my lollipop xd the only winner is takwa and angel women the other players failed .one in prison the others too died takizawa such a mystery boy damn 7/10 needs ova or something like that |

geemaa said: I was a little unsatisfied with this movie, but at least the game is finished. Same here, even though I still rated the 2nd movie as much as the show, the show actually was better imo. Overall I'd say the entire story was worth a 9/10 for me. Definitely didnt expect Eden of the East to be this good :) |

| Just finished the movie and now I'm pissed. That ending... really? really? smh. |

| Omg I was so shocked when it turned out that his dream/memory of his mother meant that she abandoned him! I thought he just forgot her :O And even more shocked when it was revealed that Takizawa is really son of Prime Minister :OOO but hey wait then again he is not? omg omg omg :D this anime is really good at fooling and messing around :D Though I hate it that we still don't know Akira Takizawa past. By looking back at the story, it can turn out that his mother is not his mother at all (coincidence same as it was with Ohsugi's johnny). We also don't know why he was in Washington and wanted to lose his memory there not in New York or Japan? Another OMG Juiz! at first I thought they are 12 clones LOL, but still... real girls? heh That is why I noticed in last movie that they got too emotional :D The only thing that I already knew is that this old taxi guy was Outside it was too obvious in tv series last episodes. oh and another omg that tunnel Kasuga found! Too bad some people died during this show and many buildings were destroyed thx to this game... Why it was said that it was number 1 not number 9 to make old Prime Minister to say sorry? this makes no sense at all number 1 had nothing to do with this wtf... The ending is also nice, but I don't like the thing that Akira promised and still didn't come back to Saki.... In this series there was not enough romance for me. It is good that 1 and 10 dies (or maybe not? hehe this anime is crazy) even after 1 lost memory and number 10 sunked himself by destroying his phone (same as number 4 with his wife). And it is very good that Akira number 9 did not lose memory again. But I really hope that Kuroha won't start cutting johnnies again?! IF she lost memory too then she did not change thx to Akira. Lastly it is good that Akira and Outside will probably work together on making Japan better. I wonder where they are now and when Akira will meet Saki? :P he promised!!! he also said he will save Kuroha and meet with NEET's and he lied also? :( There is omg after another omg in this movie I already forgot some :D I think I can raise +1 for this last movie. Still they should make at least small OVA to show some past of Akira and future of Akira+Saki. |

| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
shraams said: What I really want to know is more about Taki's weird hallucinations of these white, almost skeleton-looking men, hey? He tripped out about them in one of the early episodes, I think he called them Johnny? Remember that? They were all over him, it was fine, one bit him and it turns out he was just tripping out? And one was seen later, too. What the hell? Is this seriously something that writers just didn't have time to explain or wrap up or did I miss something? It is about NEET he sent to Dubai. He got his memory deleted, but as seen later it was not very well done so his brain started to malfunction.

She got no goal she said it herself. She is not a threat anymore as game ended? But if she lost memory she will again cut johnnies and maybe cut Akira johnny? or maybe he will stand up and fix her again? (doujin :D) She probably got raped maybe by father it is not explained so use your imagination, but yeah she was never loved by johnny ;] |

| The series was great, but these movies were crap. Too many contrivances. And Takizawa is always running away from Saki, often with a smile on his face, and he seems perfectly happy without her in his life. Saki, on the other hand, seems miserable without Takizawa. Aww, how romantic... 5/10 for both of them. |
| The serie was really good ! (8/10) The first movie was good, not like the serie but still good ! (7/10) The second movie ... wtf ? really ? that endingt was shit and everything that has been done was for ... this disappointing ending ? 5/10 |

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| wow this was actually a really good movie. A lot of new really good points were brought up that werent in the main tv series. Id even rate this a point higher than the tv series. |
~my list
| And I said after the first movie "this was the calm before the storm" only to watch another 90 minutes of calm. Certainly not what I expected with how things were moving. It wasn't bad, I liked it in many respects. However, it certainly left more to be desired. It's hard to say right away, but it felt like there was too much of a focus on the whole prime minister/illegitimate son subplot. Especially when it gets brushed off at the end as "Ah sorry, I just did that to get your attention!" I'm also still very much confused by who Akira's father really is. Maybe his mom was just having an affair with the PM but it wasn't him who got her pregnant. "You want to lick my lolipop?" Oh boy, guess that guy is going to get his shower request, just not the people he was hoping for. Mr. Angst-&-Vengeance comes in with the gun and Mononobe gave him absolutely 0 fucks. It's actually very anticlimactic, I was hoping there would have been more cunning and craft involved in his quest for revenge. Hell this whole thriller cell phone game felt fairly watered down once all was said and done. I do like this emphasis on the generation gap even if it came off as heavy handed at times. Rather than advocate for the NEET lifestyle, it shows how the actions of one generation can affect the other. It's not to pin all of the responsibility on the previous gen, but it's far too narrow minded to say that they didn't have a hand in the next one's development. I'm sure being more familiar with current events in Japan would have helped drive this theme further home. The way in which the government slowly sidelined the NEETs reminded me all too well of bitter reality. It's something I often noticed after camps/retreats I'd go to in school. You get a bunch of kids pouring their hearts out to each other in front of a fire at night, everyone gets home ecstatic and overflowing with love and joy for each other. Then weeks pass and it's like there's an even greater wall than before. Ah but back to the NEETs, at least Akira's actions helped them get back up on their feet and start to make strides forward. Slipper to the faaace! That ending with Akira in the cab does feel like a moment where the new and old generation can see eye to eye. There's certainly a load of questions racing through my mind about Outside's memory loss among other things, but I don't mind if some of them remain unanswered. I am disappointed, however, that the post-credits wasn't dedicated to Saki and Akira reuniting. And something has been bothering me since the start. I don't mind CGI when it's used right. For the most part this series and its movie counterparts manage to do that. But those CGI crowds are so ugly Ugly ugly UGLY. Fake rubber people. Well anyway, this has been quite the adventure. The movies were good but ultimately the TV series was Higashi no Eden's peak. TV Series: 8/10 Movie 1: 7/10 Movie 2: 7.5/10 |

| Why did he leave her AGAIN? i don't like the ending (凸ಠ益ಠ)凸 ....the series was 10/10 this shit is 7/10 i guess <(￣ ﹌ ￣)?> |

| I guess most of us share the same sentiment, that this movie was atrocious or didn't live up to the hype the series created. This movie almost ruined the entire franchise if it weren't for the final 10 minutes of the movie. This entire movie is filled with tons of inconsistencies, and the characters are as generic as they come, unlike the first 5 or so episodes of the series, they were really unique at the beginning. I love this ship, Akira x Saki all day, but deleting Akira's memory didn't help with the chemistry he has/had with Saki.. It's just weird, and unbelievable for Akira to fall in love with Saki again and again so soon after he just met her, the magic just disappears when you overuse it. I would want a sequel just to have this series end properly with Akira and Saki becoming a thing, and cover up all the holes this series/movie started, especially the issue with Akira's mom. |

| I really started to like the story but like everyone else seems to say, it seemed like the story got kinda bland towards the end. Tbh, I feel as though the main reason i kept watching was because of the art. Production I.G had great attention to detail and it made every scene worth watching. I liked it, just felt like they could have done alot more with the unique storyline. |
 I have small reviews for almost ALL anime I've seen. Unlike any regular MAL page you've seen. Ever wondering what I've watched and what I think about it? Check my List out below! https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Iam_Jermaine |
| Well that was disappointing, I expected a better ending to this whole Celesao thing. 3/10. |
