Reviews

Angels_Review Well, this is a rather interesting show, especially how they seem to show a lot of nudity. This feels like the Japanese idea for the Hunger Games a bit (now, I don't really know all of the hunger games but this is what I gathered). Normal people getting hold of something and end up playing out a 'game' for the enjoyment of some guy that has a lot of money. If the person does not do what is told, they die. Now this has no really baring on the story much but I am a bit surprised that they had actually brought in the freedom tower.I have to hand it to Saki, if I was in her situation and met a naked man, I would probably just run and not give him my coat and hat. Then she also goes back home with him as well. She just seems a little two innocent to me to be any real impact on the story plot. I wish she was a little more of a tomboyish type of girl and not such a pushover to fall in love like that. And even though she is like that, I felt myself wanting her and Akira together.Akira seems a bit off in the head, and seems to be similar to L from Death Note in how childish he is. Throughout the whole show, he just tries to figure out who he is. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be anything more about him that I can say without large spoilers. I just don't get why he has angel wings on his dog though.Now, I only was able to watch the dub version and even though it was pretty good, some of the voices seemed a bit off in some aspects. I am sure that the parts that were in America would have been better in the original version.The music is really nice. I love the openings mystic ring to it and I would probably place it onto my music player. There really isn't much other music in this that stands out at all. It just seems a bit to low to even be heard. There was only one that stood out from the rest and it was what they used in rather gentle and somber times. It was a nice piano and violin melody.Now, I have to tell you that the ending of this is something that only M. Night Shyamalan could only make this up. Really, I just can't believe that they did that and pretty much told you to watch the 2 movies that came out for any real closer.
Charles Herold (cherold) First off, to anyone who watches this, the show keeps talking about "Neets" and at first I thought that was something specific to the show but it turns out it's just a slang term that you can look up on wikipedia, which I would advise if you don't want to keep wondering about it the way I did for half the series.As for the show itself, Eden of the East is an entertaining little anime series with an interesting premise. The main character is likable and mysterious, although only a few of the characters have any real personality. The story is engaging and has a number of clever ideas in it.On the other hand, I have a few issues. While I watched this as "the complete series," it is actually more like a first chapter of a longer work, which is why there are a couple of movie sequels (the first of which was wretched; haven't seen the other). Also, the central premise is fairly nuts, and you never get any really convincing rationale for it.
trcky1 It's hard to describe the type of series this is. It involves the NEET class and the economical-political attitude amongst Japan's youth toward the older upper-class management. One of these youths, Takizawa, mysteriously comes into possession of a phone that enables him to enact changes in his and others' lives. Fate causes him to meet Saki, a recent graduate seeking employment, and the adventure begins.The tone of the film is lighthearted, even though the plot deals heavily in political intrigue and adventure. The story is well-written to reveal stepwise all the events occurring before, during, and after Takizawa's and Saki's fateful meeting, including some quirky romance, intrigue, and action. The series ends on a fun and exciting solution to some of the problems that Takizawa encounters along the way, but leaves us with new questions and lead-ins to the following 2 feature films for the series.I've seen the feature films, and unfortunately, they don't maintain the same level of excitement, mystery, and fun that the original series does. It feels as they're made simply to finish the story lines with logical endings. I'd recommend just watching the original series, and even though it's tough, don't bother with the following feature films to answer the questions created by the series.
Snowboarawler OK here it is, one of the best Animes this year.To say it like this, I cant even stand up anymore. This will blow your mind. I am Very picky when it comes to Anime and this was so good i even wanted to comment it. It is about a guy that has a phone with 8.2 digital yen on it, he is a Seleção (agent to save Japan). He wiped his memories after a terrorist attack referred to as "Careless Monday", then he goes back to find out who he is.The animation is great, is not like... pointy but it is kinda soft? But the music was great and the ending was beautiful and so well made, the idea to kill with your hands without doing anything is so sweet.I hunger for more like a zombie, but as always I'm lucky. There will be two movies ^_^
