Higashi no Eden or Eden of the East was overall a good anime. In the beginning of the anime, I didn't really understand what was going on because the story didn't really go anywhere in the first few episodes but as the story progressed, it got better (ep 9).
I found the story sweet but it has to start well and end well, hook the viewer. For me, it started well but the story didn't get to the point where ' I have to watch it now!!!!' but as soon as i reached episode 9, I was like that, so i gave this a 8/10 in the story.
This is a really sweet story, hint of romance, although it doesn't show as much. I would recommend this anime if you want something short.
