THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Quite a few entertaining situations in the middle of this episode. Akira was able to stop the missiles, just as we expected. And Pantsu is ok. I still have questions that weren't resolved, so I'm looking forward to the movie.

And the Day was saved. Thanks to Takizawa Akira.
What was that about him "giving" the phone to Saki-chan?
Can't wait for the subs...

But I have to say that Eden of the East is one hell of an amazing anime! I really enjoyed watching it :)
I am really curious to see the movie and its plot.

Are we sure it's the movie and not an entire second season?

At the end of the credits it said something like this where the series logo normally is (pardon me if I got the title of the first one wrong, it was only on TV for a few seconds):
Higashi no Eden
I. The King has Come
II. Paradise Lost

So, logically speaking, unless the movie is subtitled paradise lost...

Movie I: The King of Eden
Movie II: Paradise Lost

So it's 2 movies instead of 1 that I initially assumed.

I really enjoyed this series, a pity that it's too short. Can't wait for the movie (and hopefully I can get to watch them...)! My favourite anime so far!! 5/5

Anyway, it's a great episode, but the twist at the end made me gasp!! Takizawa brainwashed himself again! (But I wonder how he could made himself put his phone into Saki's coat pocket after that). Why did he do that, even though he now has at least one supporter on his side (vs. last time when everyone betrayed him). Saki will be devastated! I feel so sad for her :(

I'm so Thrilled with this anime. Even though it was short it was very entertaining! I'm so relived to see that Pantsu is not dead like most of us thought he was. And Why the hell did he Takizawa Brain wash himself again? Is he that depressed. Poor Saki. And what the heck will she do with the phone? After all it is finger print in coded. Oh and fun times withh all those naked Neets! lol

As we can see *But not hear* he said something. He could've left some kind of instruction to Juiz about the phone for Saki. (Who knows what or why). And maybe the brainwash takes 2-3 seconds to complete once heard? So enough time to slip the phone in. Or he just held onto the thought hard enough to do that lol.

Glad Pantsu is alive!!

I feel bad for Saki :(.

Will be a VERY interesting 2 movies. Guess that's like our Season 2, lol.

I imagine it's coming out in Theaters first. so DVD later. Will have to wait a very long time...

Great Season!!! 9/10. Almost a 10/10? I can't decide.

wondering about that as well.
unless he believes he's become the messiah that way?

I quite wonder what his other request was as well.
since he gave his phone to her afterwards.

I have a small suspicion that he might have asked juiz to destroy itself or make itself unreachable. due to what we could still hear from the phone afterwards

PANTSU is alive! (I thought he was dead)

This episode was beyond cool... "You're so white" lol "Bang" and how Takizawa becomes a prince...

What happens afterwards though? I thought Takizawa said to Juiz to use the remaining money to make him into a prince? I thought that if they no longer have any more money in their account, Mr. Outside would go kill them? Why would Takizawa still be alive? Why did he have to wipe his memories?

A very good episode to wrap up the series but even though we have the 2 movies to sum things up, it does seem lacking. Granted I loved it at first and now feel it's a very good series but it would be better served if it had those extra episodes to add in more detail to what was going on within the plot and so it had more breathing room instead of being crammed in at breakneck speed.

Overall it was a very good series, very funny, great production, great music, the action was good when it had it and the story was well done even though it had little breathing room to explain all the things it should have

9/10. Movies will probably make it perfect in every aspect.

I did not quite get how he stopped the Missiles though.. what did the NEETs have to do with stopping those missiles? o_o

///////////

I enjoyed this Anime. The Art was one of the best I've ever seen and the Story was just mind-blowing.
This is one of the only Animes, where I actually watch Opening and Ending all the time x.x

So yeah.. I might have given it a 10, but it doesn't feel complete on it's own :)

Great ending, it was funny and serious at the same time, and it was pulled off flawlessly. Not to mention that Pantsu was still alive, that just made my day.

Anyway, amazing anime overall, I am waiting in great anticipation for the two movies.

The ending was alot different than I expected.. but still, satisfying enough. And two movies, that's even better!

Could someone fill me in on this.. Takizawa asked to become King of the country, with all the money that was left on his phone. But when the balance on a Selecao's phone hits zero, he/she will be killed, so Takizawa will..?
Or he might live since he's a king now? Hm, strange.

I may be one of the only people who actually like that it is short, instead of having every thing known
it leaves you thinking about it I loved that about the whole series you never knew everything the whole way through.

I'm assuming IX will be sought after now that his balance should be zero, ergo the supporter coming for him.

Giving the phone to Saki, also lets her know what he requested from Juiz via phone history.

11.28 is a long long wait, I think its too long that's almost half a years wait.... o.O

I really really hope XI is featured in the movie with a prominent role, I was so happy to see her again even though it was only for like a couple of frames.
I give the series 9.5/10

That was a majestic action scene. The awesome art and the spectacular soundtrack thrilled me and engulfed me in emotions. Bang!

When he spends all his money, Juiz hints they'll meet again, and she hopes to find him a great prince. So she probably IS the supporter, and most probably is (or is teamed up with) Seleçao XII: they'll meet again because Akira is now out of money and the "system" has to judge him, whether he became a messiah or not.

This series entartained me from the first episode: drama, comedy, a bit of romance, thriller, action, conspiracies and future-ish technology. 10/10

Well basically he used the NEETS to brainstorm a bunch of ideas that would stop the missiles from hitting Japan, and he was sure that within the bunch of NEETS there would be a effective method within the time restraints to save everyone from the missiles (he did praise their ability to work as a team under pressure). So he used Juiz to filter out of the approximately 20k suggestions for the most effective, once she found out what it was they executed it and succeeded in stopping the attacks.


^^ aoikishu, I lol'd so hard when Micchon said that 2D remark.

A great ending for a great show.

The first part was hilarious with all the NEET jokes, and everyone running around naked. Ohsugi still sucks until the end, I don't know why he's hiding his johnny since obviously he doesn't have any. I laughed at Takizawa speaking about his balls. :D Seeing him wipe out the missiles with the "bang" gesture was really cool too, it reminded me of Ocelot in MGS4.

The show, overall, was really good. It started off like a bang and continued to be entertaining until the end. Sure it wasn't perfect and there were some weaker episodes (I particularly didn't like the Shiratori arc) but these little details weren't significant enough to influence my enjoyment. 9/10 without hesitation.

Now like everyone else I can't wait for the movie to come out.

PS : lol at gg's TL jokes. "[...] troll the evacuees on the net".
