| Bang. Very good episode and also had lots of laughs too. It didn't end very well but it did leave it great start for the movies. I guess its time for the movies! Also Pants is alive! He's in a hospital. |
| The OST here was pretty awesome imo Prince? =O Yay Pantsu survived lol, he was such a fun character |
 |
| I'm a bit disappointed. The show in the first few episodes had such promise. Sadly i don't think it reached it's potential. This is partially due to the short duration of the series and trying to cram things in. Yes it will get resolved with the movies, which for the entirety of the series is a good thing, but the actual season 1 suffers a bit as a result. There are also to many unexplained things left hanging, which on the plus side leaves some mystery for the movies, but also exacerbates the feeling of incompleteness present in season 1. There are also a fair amount of illogical things transpiring, such as the status and actions and timing of the Neets, rendering them little more than pawns or dolls, which adds insult to injury. There is also some annoying misdirection like the "death" of the awesome Panties, and his illogical survival, which feels cheapened when we get a 5 second clip showing that he is alive.. Lastly the "romance", which had sooo much potential early, if only with the awesome initial chemistry and pleasant atmosphere surrounding Akira and Saki, largely disappeared and wasn't actualized. As much as i didn't want to dislike Ohsugi, i can't help but think that he was a pretty poor character, that was too vindicative and petty to be likable. Even considering the sympathy he should earn due to being friend zoned with no hope for recovery, he seems to go out of his way to make the viewers dislike him. Still even with some issues, the series is quite strong, and is likely a top 50 anime of all time. 9/10, wish i could have retained my 10/10 initial rating early, but alas it slipped. |

| So yeah, this anime was utterly amazing. It was just entirely thrilling, suspenseful, hilarious at points but never enough to make the thrilling nature of it feel disjointed, and, perhaps most of all, hard to soak in. There's still questions left unanswered (who is the supporter, etc.), but there's also things I don't get from earlier on in the series. For example, when the "johnny hunter" escaped and created some "three step" illusion or something rather... I have no idea what that was about or what that even caused, other than for her to gain wings and fly away (which makes very little sense alone). I feel like I really need to rewatch this series to make more sense of it. |

| That ending was a bit abrupt but at least a lot of mysteries are already explained. I like this series 8/10. Going to watch the movie sequel next. |

| That was awesome!!!!!! I had plans on going to bed when I started this show.....I still need to go to bed, but I think I'm going to watch the first movie before I do that. 9/10 I kind of want to give it a 10.....I might....... |
 |
| epicccccc epic last episode of the tv series OMG amzing i bet that cab driver who dropped off the girls was mr outsider maybe??? lmao them 20,000 naked neets XD this show ending was cute two when he was holding her 9/10 for me |
 |
| I would be more happier if the romance here was a bit bigger, but it was really good, he was really a prince huh? hehe Gotta download the movies! 7/10 |
 |
| Wow epic anime, not gonna lie, I just felt a bit confused with the fast pacing, but hopefully the movies will take care of that. I enjoyed it a lot, 9/10 :) |
| LOL. Ok. So, What/Who is this Johnny they keep talking about? They keep referring Johnny to a lot of stuffs. |
| Sigh* One of those watch the movies to find out what happens next. I FUCKING HATE IT when anime does this like seriously ! |
 |
| the ending was cool.I saw he give his phone to her. time to watch movie. great short anime 8/10 |
 |
modsoulz said: LOL. Ok. So, What/Who is this Johnny they keep talking about? They keep referring Johnny to a lot of stuffs. Yeah, exactly. Overall 9/10. Really enjoyed it, even though the romance part was kinda weak. |
 |
| I feel like the show could've easily gotten much better if they had put out more episodes, more indept regarding some of the other #'s Im guessing I'm going to see some of it in the movies. From the start the show really had me going and keeping me interested. 9/10 |
 |
| It was good...Yay,pants is alive. :D |
| Great ending, still wanted more closure but I guess that's what the movies are for. ''Bang''. |
  |
| I guess it was good. There was no closure but that is what movies are for (I hope). All in all we learned what Selecao are and what kind of game they are playing but nothing else. Not even all of them or what their goals are or anything. Aside from that the animation was good same goes for the OST. And that OP <3 Time for the movies! |
 |
| So he again erased his memory :O I wonder how much money he had spent in this last episode. What if he really spent all? Does it mean he won or lost? But then that other guy said Japan is still not saved s game continues or not. If it does he lost all money and will die, if he won then why he erased his memory again... Akira can't become real king/prince of Japan if he spent so much money to save country and got not much left. Maybe king of this application Eden then? He also gave the phone to Saki... Who will be killed by that taxi driver?:D That old taxi driver who was driving girls to this mall of the naked was for sure Outside :D damn too many question At least Pantsu is alive :o but I still wonder why number 10 in OP is removed same as dead 4 and 5? He was removed in 4 or 5 episodes even if he still live and got funds... why? I hope there is some continuation of the story I saw there are some movies so I hope its something new not other version of same story. Anyway I liked this anime and story and nice background animation. OP/ED was nice but not the best as some say. Japanese VA were ok same goes for English VA (at least first 2 episodes). I normally don't like English VA ;) |

| (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 ;) |
| SO CONFUSED BUT I LOVE IT |
 |
| Great episode, a lot of things happen at the end. I don't know what Saki can do with the phone. Higashi no Eden wasvery good, so far. Now I need to watch the movie ! :) |
| Pretty nice final episode. Atleast the fat NEET survived! He was funny. Gonna give it a 5/10, first ~7 ep weren't really interesting and most of the characters were pretty bland and boring, but the last 2 episodes were quite nice and answered the mysteries well. |
 |
| The King of Japan? A prince? Oh boy, with a dozen questions racing through my mind about that ending it looks like I'm going to have to hit up the movies ASAP. As for Higashi no Eden thus far, certainly a unique experience. It has a very bizarre yet charming atmosphere. The entire concept is both wacky and captivating. Akira is nothing short of eccentrically hilarious and I really like his and Saki's interactions. It's really interesting how balances the thrill of this Selecao game with a seemingly calm, easy going pace with the members of Eden. It's also very well put together, with minimal cringeworthy moments despite the heavy use of CGI. I also really like the character designs, they're very light and easy on the eyes. And of course, it's Johnny galore. Seriously, this had me cracking up all throughout. Especially with those white blurs covering up for them. "It's okay, they're only interested in 2D." Lol'd even harder when Ohsugi stumbled into Saki and Mittan, poor guy will never get a break. But at least he still has his Johnny. That is the most important part, thank the heavens Johnny is still there. I'm going to refrain from scoring until I get the big picture, but right now I'm seeing this as an 8, possibly 9 if the movies really deliver. |
 |
| This was way better than I expected it to be The pacing was relatively slow at the beginning and the characters were a bit underdeveloped but other than that I was pleasantly surprised I'm looking forward to the movies 8/10 |

| It was weird, not everything make sense, not everything was explained, but I really liked it, and I loved it even more at the beginning of the series. I adore the main duo a lot, I wish something would come out of it, despite what I heard about the movie 2 ending. I didn't really like how they handled the main characters though in the second half, half their dialogues were cringe-worthy generic reaction you would expect from many other anime, and it was also annoying, especially on Saki's part. I am not so much a fan of Akira's voice, his voice sometimes didn't hit the right note, and then it just felt weird. This show also tends to skip a lot of details and just leave us viewers lost. I personally don't mind it a lot but it would've been better if they had all the time in the world to show us everything, but alas, it's only 11 episodes long. Gonna leave this with a 9 because of the fantastic first half. |

| A dialogue-heavy and captivating anime, which let you guessing until the end. Hooray for Pantsu! The ending was different than I expected, but somehow fitting, I wonder what they want to show us in the movies. Probably about Mr. Outside and Akira's new position in this nation. Saki had a weaker role in the last few episodes, but that was to be expected, since it's all about Akira and his plan to stop the missiles. Maybe I'm the only one, but I think it's good that they don't pressured the romance too much. Overall good presentation, nice animation and a lot of references to the pop culture made it an enjoyable watch. Definitely going to rewatch this in the future. |

| Yay, Pants was still alive at the end. I feel they probably could've used a little more time for the end, but it was still good. Also, lol at saying those NEETs were probably only into 2D. Too bad for them they're in an anime, though. :D |
| Yay pants is alive, but the ending was very anticlimactic. |
|
| Honestly, “Higashi no Eden” left a bad taste in my mouth. I could not get into the plot and did not understand the purpose of the mission. I could not appreciate the concept of sacrificing innocent lives for a questionable game. The poor palette of the show did not agree with me either. Moreover, I did not like how Umino Chika’s character designs were handled by Production I.G (especially compared to currently airing “3-gatsu no Lion” by Shaft). |
| This is the true power of NEETs! It is now proven that us,NEETs are useful. |
| that was fucking disappointing and stupid. |
| This was a great anime and every thing was satisfying that's why I will watch the movie. I thought that last missile will hit him and Saki but it turned out great and most of all he is now the king. We never got see Mr outside but it turned out okay |

| I love it, but I was disappointed. Confused about this series. |
| pantsu is alive :o |

| Nice finale to the show. Akira managed to save the day with the help of the NEETs in spectacular fashion. So glad to see Panties survived...The computer retrieval scene was lol OMG. What a note to end on...Akira brainwashing himself again and leaving his phone to Saki. Poor girl...Her statement about the public and rumors is such a true statement... Overall, I loved this show. Each ep had just the right amount of intriguing moments and new questions to make me eager for the next episode. Nice animation from IG and loved the soundtrack. I'm really looking forward to continuing the story in the movies. |
  |
| The episode was pretty normal, lot of mysteries unresolved and an unpredictable future for our characters. I think that the anime lacked of explanations. |
 |
| The ending was better than I thought it would be, however, I still need to watch the movies for this. I got to say that this series made good on its ending unlike other series of just limited episodes. The overall theme was fun. Also, Takizawa noticed Ohsugi's balls, in not just figuratively, but literally too. This cannot become any more weird. Good plan though, using the NEETs in order to save the country. But become king to save Japan? Where have I heard that before? Good episode, however, I am still doubtful on the entire show as it would be. I am not gonna pass out on the movies though. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I can't understand why this show has such a high score. It's a 5/10 for me and I don't think I'll even bother with the movies. |
