| Awesome first episode! With the best OP of the season, the ED is good but not that good like K-ON ED =) A shame that is only 11 eps but i hope it will be a great series from beginning to end! I regret not put Eden in the bench of FAL =_= It will be a good bomb! I assure that =) Kouta~ |
  |
| Holy fuck, amazing. I didn't expect it to be this good. I think it will be my absolute favorite this season. |

| Definitely on my Watch List! The HC vibe with the hilarious Shinobu look-alike, awesome graphics and voicing (NO ENGRISH =D ), & interesting spy plot.. i wanna watch the 2nd ep! |

| Looking goooood. There were a few "hmmmm" moments, as pointed out by others, but the hook was powerful enough that I'm already too caught up in the story and characters to mind much. |

| Super cool. 11 episodes, so I hope everything is as polished as this episode, and doesn't pull a Rideback towards the end. Loved that they bothered to get English speaking actors, and I thought the terrorist stuff was funny. |
| Seem to be going back to OP words of 2 pics I put. Much reference to Messiah and world hero thing I conclude. |

| Lol, when it's good it's good. Should have seen me in the Skip Beat discussion...you woul have thought I was a different person. |
| haha i haven't actually seen any of that series so i wouldn't know. im starting to think if noteDhero says an anime is 'good' then it must be 'AMAZING'. |
i lol |

| Holy crap, this anime just blew all my expectations out of the water (and they were high to begin with!) I'm so into it that I'm dying for the next episode, it'll be hard to manage week-by-week installments when it's this good. The characters were awesome, the animation was spectacular, and I really loved everything about it. *needs more* |
| pretty good start, excited for the next episode Definitely on my watch list |
| I was anticipating this after seeing the trailer and it did not disapoint. Def a few odd things like others pointed out here and there. I wonder if he offered money to the guy who gave him his pants. We all know some person comes up to you with no pants and asks you for yours aren't gonna be like "sure here you go". But ya know everyone has a price ;) Overall interesting start and I loved the refrences. |
I've Been Watching Anime for 20 years now. Can you beat that? |
| Pretty decent beginning. We'll see how it plays out from here. |
| All the mods fucking blow on this website except Kaiserpingvin, Cloudy-Sky, Baman and aero. PM me if you're actually good and I left you out. Oh, rule 8... (￣ー￣) |
| Oh WOW. I can't point out a single specific about this episode because it was pretty much perfect. I haven't been this sucked into any anime for a long time. |
| Damn, this one is going to be really good. |
 |
| I know everyone else has said this already, but wow. Awesome episode, really looking forward to more. |
     |
| Woot, already on top 100 |
PikeBike said: Wow really? :D That's amazing! XD (I'm not being sarcastic, even though it sounds like I am o__o;;)Woot, already on top 100 |
| This is tooo Golden. I cant wait for the next episode to see whats gonna happen xD |

Neverender said: show of the season |
| besides the obvious Jason Bourne reference.. This show really reminded me of that movie. |
| I've been anticipating this show a few months back... Chika Umino + interesting plot The trailer got me more excited.. It's great to have Oasis for OP! Although some aspects of the plot is a little shaky, overall it's still great :) Thanks goodness there's only 11 episodes, so I guess I can expect no draggy moments that will put me off to sleep. Banzai Morita! (It feels like watching HachiKuro again :D) |
 |
| I guess I'm one of the select few that dislike the OP (song). Animation was bomb though. |
| Easily the most enjoyable first episode of the season (maybe the year so far?), here's hoping it doesn't stumble before the end. |
| Wow, pretty awesome that it's already in Top 100 and the points are over 8,30 :0 This rocks \o/ And none "dislikes" or "hated" votes \o/ |

| Planning to see if this 'god' and 'lord' stuff actually has a reason to be in this anime. |
jens said: Is it just me, or do Saki and Akira look and act exactly the same as Hagumi and Morita from Honey and Clover? It's scary how much they're are alike. I tough the same too! But for my opinion that is good, because i liked Honey&clover very much. Episode was realy good. I think Eden is this season's best new anime by far!Animation, leading role voice acting, art, story all is verygood/interesting. Only negative was somewhat very poor english voice acting...C'MON it cant be so hard to hire couple american to speak those parts? Still 5/5 ps. I JUST LOVED THE ED!The art and the song!I want that song full version.OP was good too :P |
| The story had some strange/ridiculous elements but other than that, this show reeks of pr0. To top it all, one of the best OP I've ever seen, and the ED was great too. I'm looking forward to some more! |
| pretty good start. amazing quality in detail on op/ed and thuroughout the first ep. and a nice note on the fact that they didn't hire engrish speakers. +3. |

| The OP was nice but sometimes I was wondering how the yanks understand japanese? |
AngelRayne said: The OP was nice but sometimes I was wondering how the yanks understand japanese? seconded. guess the male/female lead vc couldn't speak english so well, it would botch the awesome english the others spoke. awesome, waiting for moar. |
 |
| Really nice atmosphere in this episode. I for one am really curious as to how this will develop. Saki had quite a few cute moments and that Akira guy is freaking hilarious. Really loved the OP btw. |

AngelRayne said: The OP was nice but sometimes I was wondering how the yanks understand japanese? I think they just kinda guessed at what they were saying based on body language and tone and whatnot. From what I remember, the Americans didn't particularly need to understand the Japanese characters word-for-word. |
| Really awesome firstepisode. The "Johnny" scen was aewsoem. |
| amazing ep! the animation is just outstanding...havent seen something like this in a while... even shitty quality looks high def. to all ppl confused about pant giving scene: i think that he showed his cold "johnny" to the guy and thats why he happily gived up his pants...i dont think there was any other reason..but yea saki did go with the random naked guy she just met quite easily..i guess she didnt know anyone else but still with the minor potholes like the mix of languages in america the pace of the show was great and i expect an interesting plot...the characters are great too..."johnny" flash scene to cop was JOKEZ... |
 |
| I'm glad I decided to watch this one. It's funny and interesting, so I will continue to watch it. |
| ******************************************************** Note: I decided not to accept random friend requests. Most of the ones I accept will be people I know from other sites unless I get to know some people here. (=^_^=) |
| My favourite pilot episode of the season. Absolutely adored it <3 |
  |
| That was nice, can't wait for the next episode, and good song by Oasis IMO. |
 |
| Show of the season - no, the year (so far). I had super high expectations for this and it even surpassed them! There was a weird scene where that guy just gave up his pants but the rest was just perfect. |

| Looks interesting I hope it doesn't disappoint. |
| Whoa, I didn't expect those series to be that good o: Pretty cool first episode ^^ The story seems interesting, the art is good and I really like the OP :3 I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode |
| We're all insane |

| About the guy giving away his pants to a random guy and Saki following random naked guy, I think its because Akira has some ability to persuade people to do things that they normally wouldn't do. Maybe its the phone, maybe its something to do with him. Whatever the cause, there is a logical reason for the guy giving his pants to Akira and even possibly for the cop letting him off after show her his Johnny. |
