Eden (ONA)

I liked the plot. During the anime it felt really wholesome, and it leaves a bittersweet taste for a few days after you finish the anime. The only thing I don't like is the art style.

The story was unique, and the end was predictable at the last 2 episodes, but before that it was hard to guess.

I didn't really like the art style. Something about it looked weird. Though, it didn't bother me from the overall show.

I liked the main character as she had flaws and strengths. Although, I do think that if she really was raised in a world of robots, she would've acted ... more differently.

I also think that the main character is a bit too brave. And was quite unrealistic in that sense.

I think others will like it. Despite the art style, it's a very wholesome short sweet anime that you can watch in less than 2 hours. :)

8/10

"Eden" is a four-episode original net animation that premiered on Netflix in May 2021. The series is a collaboration between Nice Boat Animation, Wolf Smoke Studio, Qubic Pictures, and CGCG Studio. It is classified under the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, and slice of life, and is rated PG-13 for teens 13 or older.

The story of "Eden" is set in a world where humans have been extinct for several centuries, and the only inhabitants left are robots. The show follows two robots named E92 and A37, who discover a human baby girl in the midst of their routine duties. The two robots decide to take care ... of the baby and raise her in a world that knows nothing about humans.

The concept of "Eden" is intriguing, and the show does well in creating an imaginative and thought-provoking world. The animation is beautiful, with a mix of 2D and 3D animation that blends seamlessly together. The attention to detail in the world-building is impressive, with intricate designs of the robots and their surroundings.

However, despite its potential, "Eden" falls short in execution. The story lacks depth and feels like it's been rushed. The four-episode run time doesn't allow for enough development in the characters or their relationships. The show attempts to tackle themes of love, sacrifice, and the meaning of life, but they all feel underdeveloped and surface-level.

The pacing of the story is uneven, with some episodes feeling slow and others feeling rushed. The plot twists are predictable, and the ending feels unsatisfying and leaves several loose ends. The series could have benefitted from a longer run time, allowing for more development and exploration of the world and its characters.

One of the main criticisms of "Eden" is the use of English voice acting for the characters, which comes across as stiff and emotionless at times. The lip-syncing is also off, which can be distracting for viewers.

Despite its flaws, "Eden" does have its moments. The relationship between E92, A37, and the human baby is heartwarming, and the show's themes are relevant and thought-provoking. However, the rushed pacing, lack of character development, and unsatisfying ending make it difficult to fully recommend.

In conclusion, "Eden" is an imaginative and visually stunning show that falls short in its execution. The story lacks depth, the pacing is uneven, and the ending leaves several loose ends. The use of English voice acting and stiff animation also detract from the overall experience. While it has its moments, "Eden" may leave viewers feeling unsatisfied and underwhelmed. I don't feel to bad about being kicked out of this garden of eden

This anime is really bad. The premise was interesting enough, but it really wasn't anything that I expected.

The animation is terrible. It looks like your average, dime-a-dozen daytime children's show with terrible computer graphics. Ordinarily, I could look past that, but the story wasn't very good either. It was overly emotional and way too preachy. It spent a lot of time falling into cliches and it was very predictable throughout the entire show.

The music wasn't bad. It was actually kind of pretty. And it was also only four episodes long, so it didn't waste too much of my life. Still, I'd only recommend this if ... you're some kind of anime completionist and you are attempting to watch all the things.
