Eden of the East

Eden of the East Gets Two Theatrical Films Green Lit (courtesy of ANN)

As you all know, the TV series have just come to an end. (Yes, we're a bit sad about it I know) but the good news is, the series isn't quite over as it is, yet. There's gonna be a two-part movie that should follow and the first part is scheduled to premiere on November 28th of this year at Japan.

Note: I believe that the first movie is going to be the retelling of the 11-episode TV-series judging from its title.
(I'm not 100% certain about it of course)

So again, here's what to expect:
Movie I - The King of Eden (11/28/2009)
Movie II - Paradise Lost (01/-/2010)

And so the wait has officially just began... and it's definitely gonna be a long one at that. So prepare yourselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually as you deal with the worst kinds of depression and withdrawal episodes.

Eden of the East






This is another upcoming series this spring that I'm highly anticipating. A series based on the original story by its Director, Kenji Kamiyama; produced by Production I.G. - the animation studio that's responsible for bringing us the "Ghost in the Shell" series and many other. (but I'm still a MadHouse fan before anything else) :P If I'm not mistaken, the series should run for just about eleven (11) episodes and is set to premiere on the ninth day of the following month (April 9). Another thing worth mentioning about is the series' OP theme - a song by the "legendary" English rock band, Oasis entitled "Falling Down." (I'm an avid fan) - not really, but I do like their music/sound.



More Info

http://juiz.jp/special/ (Official Website) - It's a very nice and soothing site, I suggest you check it out as well.

Wow looks interesting will definitely be watching this.

Wow the synopsis seems great XD
I'll try to watch this when the time comes.

The trailer was great and nice OP song there, i'll check it out.

Woah...
That is very, very intriguing. I'm definitely putting this onto my Must Watch List.
Good OP song too~

This definitely looks worth the time. I was almost reminded of the Bourne Identity there for a minute. The art style was also familiar, since it was done by the same person who did Honey and Clover.

I know Honey and Clover but,
I didn't know that... Really!?
*Looks at OP pic and Trailer again*
It does look similar but... I don't know. This may be due to the fact I didn't watch alot of Honey and Clover...

:shock: You haven't seen/finished Honey & Clover yet?! (I REALLY think you should) :D

...
Regarding what g-money had already mentioned, I'd like to confirm that award-winning "mangaka" Chika Umino is in fact the one responsible for the character designs of this series.

if you haven't thoroughly checked my initial post:

Read here for...

Just by looking at the male lead (Akira Takizawa) reminds me a lot of Shinobu Morita.
*sigh* the nostalgia...

Yeah - thought Honey & Clover as well the instant I saw it.

Anyways - 'must watch' list updated. I rarely do personal research on upcoming seasons so that quality releases make an ever bigger impact. I expect this to be one of those.

Quality studio, Kenji Kawai with the music .... haba-haba-habba :D

Just looking at the animation is enough to convince me to watch this. :D

I do think that Chika Umino's art style has improved, since they seem to agree with me in this new series. I've never watched Honey and Clover because I thought the animation style wasn't appealing to me, nor did I want to watch a headaching series, but the artwork is definitely one and the same, and no love triangles and unrequited love this time.

This looks pretty good. At first glance it's got that typical "brainwashed killer for an organization" feel, like Rose Hip Rose or Kite or something. Kenji Kamiyama never does anything poor quality, though, so I'm sure there's a great twist. I'm looking forward to this.

Story:




I'm looking forward to this one a lot. It's being directed by Kenji Kamiyama who directed Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex series and Moribito -Guardian of the Spirit-. Just thought I would share it with some of you. :)

Wow this looks pretty hot. I'll keep an eye out for it as well.

PD, don't wanna impose on your thread like this but there's already a topic for this...

Eden of the East by yours truly :lol:

https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=16229

in any case, feel free to give it a look.

Damn, I guess I'm just slow on the uptake... I also looked through only the first 3 pages to make sure there wasn't a topic on this and not seeing it and feeling safe I posted it... and now well what do you know, I missed it by a page. T_T

That's ok PD, I forgive you. :)

This is the series that I've decided to focus on for the season. I'm really looking forward to it and so might as well inform you guys that the first episode is already subbed by gg(on a whim) and so did Desire-subs.

I sure plan on doing a weekly episode review IF it proves to be something special. So hopefully, like in the OP themes' lyrics, "Please don't waste my time." 8)

HOLY SH...!! The story seems interesting enough, and the visuals- ohmygah!

And yeah, he does look alot like morita xD

Would a cop really ask a person to pull out their johnny? Anyways, the story is interesting and has that John Bourne feeling so far. I was amazed on how good the English acting was good and the artwork for Dulles International Airport was superb. This was the first time I heard an English song for an anime and the song itself goes along with the plot.

Eden of the east will definitely be put on my list of good anime to watch for the spring season.
