Lol sorry to everyone just had to do that cause that saying is awesome but let's get to the review.
Eden of the East is I guess you would call a mystery/romance/action that's very interesting throughout its run.
Story 8:
Eden of the East starts off pretty interesting with our main character Takizawa standing naked, with no memory, holding a gun and a cell phone in front of the white house. After seeing our second main character Saki, who decides to take he anger out on the white house by throwing a quarter he decides to help her by getting the attention on him. After this he's pretty much just trying to figure out who he is and what's happened in his past and what's going on with his weird phone. The story actually progresses very well being slow at times and pumping it up at others but it makes it all feel very smooth. The story for some reason actually feels very American which I think it was going for since it even mentions the Borne films and Taxi, its very well done the way that American movie style and anime mix very well in the story. The one complaint I have is something I've been seeing a bit lately, its that as someone watching you figure certain things out and then you're looking at the character and you're like 'why haven't you figured this out yet you have almost the exact same info as me?' As an anime that's trying to be hidden in mystery you figure certain things out pretty fast if you just pay attention and in the end its really rewarding but you kinda want to scream at the characters a bit.
Art 9:
The art for Eden is amazing I absolutely love it the characters and environments all look amazing. The one thing that I think looks really awesome is the phones their all very interestingly drawn or rendered well since at time they look kind of seem to be 3D.
Sound 8:
The sound for the anime is Very good both the opening and closing themes are pretty good and sound design for everything is solid. I watched this English dub and I must say this was a very well, I absolutly love the voice of Juis and think it is absolutely perfect. Everyone else in the cast does a very good job at bringing out their character at no point did I feel like a voice didn't fit who it was assigned.
Character 8:
The characters in Eden are all absolutely awesome, I love every single one from the main two characters to the side characters everyone seems really defined in who they were. One thing that was really good was that they all compliment each other in some way or another, but pretty much I like each and every character that's shown here in the series.
Enjoyment 10:
For me personally I enjoyed everything about this from slowly finding things out about Takizawa and his past, to seeing what Saki and her friends phone app was, to seeing how much power some of these people really have, to even the little sweet moments between Takizawa and Saki that are had.
Eden of the East is a very good anime with a bit of mystery that's very satisfying as things become uncovered. The only thing is that to finish the series you have two movies to pick up after but I loved watching this series.
