Eden of the East Review
Mini Review
Pro: Unqiue mystery in terms of anime, Unique animation, Some great music, the first ending theme music/animation is fantastic!
Con: Flies off the handle in terms of how "unique" it takes itself
Final Thoughts: Its nice to have a unique anime every once in a while and in this case it was a much needed breath of fresh air (during the drop after the golden age of anime) for me to watch this series. Even with that being said there are some set backs this series has and I am already not a big fan of the awkward shoujo character designs, the CG stuff, end of the world/war, amnesia elements that are sprinkled throughout this series which keep it from getting a 3 star rating in my book. If you were to give this series a try because you wanted some good mystery out of your anime then by all means give this one a go. Its guranteed to give you an unique experience unlike other mysterey anime/manga like Future Diary (Mirai Niki) that screams "tries to hard". Its clear that this shows creators had a stronger built foundation and/or idea of what story he wanted to present rather than trying to meet the needs of a typical otaku fanbase.
Final Score: 2 stars
