Ok.. time to download the season. So Ryou, Daiju, and Jintaro’s plot has been foiled, but there are still questions to answer. whyd he have to do that? This leads to me wonder if the “real Juiz” is referring to Saki. “Timshel” is used here as advice. As for the NEETs helping, I think any old person could have used fighter jets to shoot them down. Funny. Could someone certify with absolute certainty that he did in fact wipe his memories out I don’t quite see why everyone is assuming that Akira had his memory wiped at the end. But as I said too, I believe that like when he talked to Hiura (the doctor Selacao), he told him that Akira probably erased his memories to bet on his “new self”, which I believe is a very similar case at this point in the story, and to go into this role unbiased and uninfluenced by the events since the last time. “I can’t really understand the why behind the 2nd memory wipe.”. Cathy, though somewhat different from Caleb and Charles, is also fueled by jealousy. I can’t deal with it and then living in America it would take forever to get a sub version if we have to wait for a DVD release. By Renaldo Matadeen Apr 21, 2019. HATED, the nose shadows.

She and Micchon want Hirasawa to examine the data that Itazu sent, but he has more immediate problems right now because of all the NEETs who have arrived. Eden of the East was a well done, interesting anime that left a lot of loose ends by the end of its 11 episodes. The sound effect in the last episode is exactly the same as the one in Ep.01 the moment he loses his memory. The episode was so nice. And just when you think Eden of the East will finally end nicely, it gives you everything but a good or happy ending. every one’s been going on about it but I couldn’t see anything…why was he asking “damn there’s no golden ring”, because for a sec i almost thought he was about to propose to saki…, Your email address will not be published. Moreover I think that the way he unified the Neets on the roof for a common purpose would be the requirement for the rest of Japan in order to save it from the individualist nature that they’ve all grown accustomed to. If you look closely around 1:39 (I think) into the episode, you can see the side of the taxi that the old man is driving. However it’s all speculation at this point. But if there’s just one kid who believes it…”, I think he recognizes that Saki believes in him, and in that way, she is like Juiz to him. I also don’t see how having a King would help better Japan. 11 episodes? Eden of the East is a 11 episode series by Production I.G that would also slide nicely into a free-to-air TV slot next to crime thrillers such as CSI. I can’t be arsed to point out more flaws because I am way too disappointed with this series. These characters eventually join the military because they have no clear direction to their lives. What is the significance behind Adam's last word? Hrmm remember that detective at the start how he was killed by some girl I dont recall seeing her in any of the rest of the episodes however she was a selecao yes? And all of this makes Eden of the East all the more disappointing. Did Akira erase his memories again? I doubt he’d throw himself into the thick of things or get too involved. Steinbeck points this out explicitly halfway through the novel when the characters discuss The Bible. Adam suffers a stroke after hearing of Aron's death, and Cal feels overwhelmed with guilt. In an act that mirrors the story of Cain and Abel (from The Bible‘s book of Genesis), Charles attempts to murder his brother during a jealous rage. If God proclaimed “You Shall,” then Cain’s path is already determined — God knows that Cain will triumph over sin and evil. Key Idea #4: Choice in the Absence of Free Will Akira Takizawa wakes up naked outside the White House with no memories. This is a book that’s easy to love and easy to hate; it’s cyclical nature, sheer length, and heavy handedness can be off-putting for sure, but these hurdles end up contributing to the point Steinbeck tries to make with the novel. So the question is, what different Eden of the East, Seasons / Series / Movies are there? @hm Human history has repeated itself, and it continues to repeat itself. Can’t freaking wait for the movie… It’ll be months after that before any sort of translation T_T Guess it’s time to start learning japanese. myvillage . Comment. iv) The NEETs uploading to eden was to show Akira’s belief that social outcasts are not worthless and will show their potential when circumstances force them. Takizawa tells Juiz “there are plenty of smart guys in the world, but no one willing to take that role [the role of the King]. always hate cliffhanger. It’s not like she can use it since it’s locked UNLESS that’s why they kept Pantsu alive in the first place, which is a possibility. Ha! Huh, and there’s the carousel that was in the advertisement poster. Final Thoughts: The series isn’t over, so these aren’t truly final thoughts on it, but more a reflection on what we’ve seen so far. But he gave his phone to Saki. pls don’t kill off the main characters in the movie and give them a happy ending lol. Instead, fans such as ourselves will have to wait well over a year for a DVD release. Dont want to wait for a 2 fricken movies to get the answers. Well, the only thing number XII did with his/her money was move Juiz to a secret location, but yeah. Akira might still have to face the consequence, but we won’t know until the movie. Also the second memory wipe is kind of annoying because it means we may have to go through him finding himself all over T_T, @GP Tsuji in particular is unimpressed and thinks that Japan has already on the way to its demise. Back at the shopping mall, there’s one last missile heading straight towards the merry-go-round that Akira is standing on top of, and though he manages to blow it up at the last second, Akira gets thrown back by the debris. If he is the king the supporter needs to acknowledge him as well and he refuses to kill himj ? Eden of the East is a refreshing post-modern story set in the real world and isn't afraid to address it. I found Eden of the East to be a wonderful series which had tons of charm in the first episode, became more mystery-oriented in the middle, and ended decently even if it was a cliffhanger. Didn’t Tak lose the game because he is out of money and Japan still have problems I mean the doctor was killed because he ran out of money so why not him. Eden of the East was a really refreshing anime. They even added twists by having Akira ask Juiz to make him the king of Japan and by showing that Akira requested something else that is probably connected to the noise coming from his cell phone at the end (another memory wipe perhaps), so this was essentially a cliffhanger. Everything just came together at the end… Taki’s motives, his relationship with Saki, Eden of the East, Juiz, and 20,000 nakkid NEETs. If I’m not mistaken, the 12th selecao’s history states that he still had 10B yen and 5,000 yen was used to move Juiz ~_~, but i guess i’ll just have to hold on and wait for 11/28 just finished watching it for the 2nd time a while ago and this time I think that the guy in the beanie in episode 10 & 11(forgot his name), the selecao who said he still had the 10Billion yen in his balance might be the supporter. I realize he had something of a blank look on his face, but my first impression was that Juiz implanted knowledge (about being a king?) Archived. The stairwell up thus becomes jam-packed with naked NEETs, so Saki and the others try to take an elevator. I’ll be looking forward to the two movies >:), I hope Saki and Akira gets along well… but I really feel bad after I read the title of the 2nd movie, something like “Paradise Lost”. Or the part h… And what was the significance of him placing the phone in Saki’s jacket? Confirmed this episode. Akira knows that by wiping his memory, he can entrust his ‘reborn’ self to do the right thing, as opposed to risking doing the wrong thing if he kept his memories. Very well done, the animation of this chapter I mean. With Adam on his deathbed, he pleads to his last remaining son “Timshel!”. It also looks like it was before Takizawa became a Selecao too. Eden of the East really is one of the best anime this Year ^__^, wait guys, Now I have to find ways to watch the movies as well. This use of the verb indicates that Cain again has no choice.

I wish I could place thesis on all this speculation. Save my name, email, and site URL in my browser for next time I post a comment. While it’s fresh on my mind though, I found it interesting that Itazu ended up surviving since I didn’t see any reason to revive him after seemingly killing him, unless they wanted to reduce the body count or (more likely) unless he’s going to play a role in the movies. Why even leave seperate when your just going to end up in the same place. I’m hardly an expert, but here are the basics. The Atou Taxi that he was driving could be a tip-off. Once they’re able to look at the data, they realize that one of the targets is none other than where they are, Toyosu. Eden of the East, or Higashi no Eden, is one of the newest ventures of Production I.G, most notably accredited for producing such masterpiece series’ as Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Within the last 100 pages of the book, the repeats itself with similar characters finding themselves in the same situations as before. I still wish they animated this as two seasons instead of one season and two movies, but I should probably just be happy that there is more. Saki thinks that their best course of action in order to prevent the new missile strike is to post the target locations online, but the problem is that those locations are on the laptop that Hirasawa and the others left behind to the NEETs. I am guessing that Akira is again betting on his ‘new’ self to take the role of a responsible king to lead Japan.

A person would usually go corrupt if they have to carry memories that contradict their original goal ala Kira from Death Note and like the detective who said he initially started the game with justice in mind, but ended up in a bloody mess. I guess he realize wiping his memory is pretty effective lol. Caleb and Charles are both hard working farmers that are seemingly fueled by jealousy rather than greed — they both have chips on their shoulders that cause them to work harder and more diligently than their siblings. Sorry to say it, but the ending was freaking stupid. Is it possible for a selecao to have more than one phone? If he’s Mr. Outisde, who knows. Eden of the East (Higashi no eden) -- Confused by Ending. Not entirely sure why Akira wiped his memories a second time, but I pretty sure the reason why he slipped his phone into Saki’s pocket was to avoid regaining his memories again, (cause the phone helped him get it back the first time).
