Saki Morimi, a young Japanese woman on her college graduation trip to the United States, decides to take an extra detour to Washington D.C, which she considers to be the center of the world. It is in front of the White House that she meets a mysterious yet charming young Japanese man holding a gun and a cell phone, with no memories... and completely naked. As he manages to elude police patrols sent after him, Saki, understandably perplexed by the situation, gives him her coat for the sake of modesty, only to discover later that she had left her passport in the pocket, and must find him to get it back. She eventually runs into him again under even stranger circumstances and, in an effort to recover his memories and prove his innocence, the man (introduced as Akira Takizawa on one of his many passports) accompanies Saki back to Japan.As the two make their transition, Japan is struck by a missile that bisects a plane in the air and explodes in downtown Tokyo, causing several casualties. The attack seems to relate to a previous event known as "Careless Monday", when ten missiles struck downtown Tokyo — somehow, without the loss of a single human life. After everything that has occurred, Akira and Saki form a strong bond and continue in search of Akira's memories together; however, the former soon realizes not is all as it seems — his cell phone carries 8.2 billion yen in the form of digital money, and can contact a mysterious female voice on the other end named Juiz, who can apparently grant any request, including bribery and assassination. She informs Akira that he is Number IX, and that, as one of the Seleção, it is his responsibility to spend all the money and become the "saviour" of Japan. If he fails, he'll be eliminated.Eden of the East (Higashi no Eden) premiered in April 2009, with director Kenji Kamiyama of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex fame at the helm (bringing along with him Production I.G), and character designs by Honey and Clover's Chika Umino. The first episode had the highest ratings of any late-night anime that week, ranking #10 overall.The series ran for eleven episodes, with two theatrical films following, The King of Eden in November 2009 and Paradise Lost in March 2010. Both the series and the movies have been licensed for US release by Funimation. Now available on their YouTube channel. Technically there are three movies, a prequel movie entitled "Air Communication" met with a theatrical release just prior to King of Eden but in actuality it was nothing more than 2 hour long Recap Episode with the characters recapping the events of the series, it didn't even get a separate release, being relegated to an extra on the King of Eden DVD.Has nothing to do with the 1952 John Steinbeck novel East of Eden (well, actually, they do reference it once), nor the cricket stadium in eastern India called Eden Gardens, nor with the RPG series Far East of Eden aka Tengai Makyou. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Averted for the most part with Takizawa making verbal references to Meg Ryan and Robert De Niro, which makes it all the more jarring in the first movie where we see a poster for a movie by Alfound Heathcork. | |

Title Drop: "Eden of the East" is the name of a small school recycling club Saki participates in.

Anime Theme Song | |
| Eden of the East / int_2593d18f | comment |
Anime Theme Song: Averted with "Falling Down". May have been due to a case of Germans Love David Hasselhoff, as Oasis are quite popular in Japan. Played mostly straight for the US release. Since they would have had to pay royalties for each episode the song played on (due to US royalty laws), Funimation opted not to double the release budget and have "Falling Down" only in the first episode and commission a standard theme song for the rest of the series. The opening for the rest of the episodes in the US release is "Michael ka Belial" by Saori Hayami, the Japanese VA for Saki. | |

| Eden of the East / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: The show bears a resemblance to the Jason Bourne series, with an amnesiac agent and what seems to be a conspiracy going on. The show hangs a lampshade on it when, upon finding a variety of different passports of himself in his cupboard, Akira mutters, "not De Niro (having seen his many guns first and thinking of Taxi Driver), but Jason Bourne?" | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| Eden of the East / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Several terms in Portuguese (apparently only because Mr. Outside was a fan of Brazilian soccer), the English text sprinkled throughout the OP graphics, and the use of the term noblesse oblige. The vaguely-Biblical intro text later shows up, rather unexpectedly, in Episode 6's background music, during the fireworks scene. You also hear a brief snatch of it playing in the taxi to the White House at the very start of the first episode. The helicopter Takizawa takes with Number I in Episode 10 has a sign that says "By all means please do the sheet belt," but this may be Truth in Television... | |

| Eden of the East / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Although she never goes evil, Juiz changes over the course of the show in ways that were almost certainly not intended. After the timeskip, she evolves to fit what the various Seleção want/need. XI's has become a loyal assistant with a close emotional connection to her employer. IX's answers the phone after six months like a mother waiting to hear from her son, and sounds deeply hurt when he asks if he can cancel a previous order. VI's has become a Servile Snarker; the pair spend most of their time yelling at each other. II's has become a flirty secretary hanging onto his every word. I's hasn't changed an inch. All he ever wanted was a servant who didn't question his orders. | |

Unresolved Sexual Tension: Saki and Akira get plenty of this. It's clear from the moment they meet that they're attracted to one another, then the relationship jumps back and forth, developing quickly (they spend almost the entirety of the first few episodes together - they date, they comfort each other, they even kiss) then backtracking and coming to standstill, before deciding to focus on their friendship and trust in one another for the remainder of the anime. | |

Hikikomori: The 20,00 NEETs whose role in Careless Monday gradually gets explained. Several characters identify as NEETs even though they are actively engaged in society. "Panties" Itazu's only pair of slacks blew away in the wind three years prior to the series, at which point he resolved never to leave his room again (though this may just be an excuse as he makes ready use of internet shopping for other things). Saki and Micchon get him a new pair in Episode 9, but he gets about five seconds of outside time before Mononobe (Number I) runs him over. | |

Undressing the Unconscious: In episode 7, Akira passes out from his wounds in Kuroha's arms, just as she was attempting to seduce him in the hotel room. When Saki arrives, she finds an unconscious Akira naked in bed while a underwear-clad Kuroha is sitting beside him playing with his hair. At first, Saki seems to think they slept together and Kuroha doesn't dissuade the notion, but it's made clear to the audience Kuroha stripping him so could bandage his wounds. | |

Re-Release Soundtrack: The American release only kept Falling Down from Oasis as the opening theme for episode 1, but used a replacement J-Pop song (provided by the Japanese producers) for the remainder of the series. This was due to Funimation having to pay royalties every time the song appeared on the disc and was only willing to pay to use it once. | |

Foreshadowing: Akira's apartment in Washington is littered with paraphernalia from the movie Taxi Driver, which also turns out to be what Mr. Outside was disguising himself as and how he picked the Seleção in the first place.

Suspiciously Apropos Music | |
| Eden of the East / int_9e447c8c | comment |
Suspiciously Apropos Music: Listen very closely to the song on the cab's radio at the beginning of Episode 1. (It helps if you've also paid attention to the text in the OP.) The song, a soulful gospel tune called "The King Has Come" plays at a few points (it pretty much becomes an Arc Song if you're listening closely enough), but most appropriately when Akira shoots down the missiles, and it is still playing when he orders Juiz to make him king of Japan. It also plays at the close of the second film. While not written for the anime, "Falling Down" has some lyrics that are very relevant to the plot. 'Here am I, lost and found': Akira wipes his memory and loses his past, finding a new purpose in life in the process 'If you won't save me, please don't waste my time': If you have one of those phones then it's your mission to "save" Japan. Fail and you get eliminated. 'I try to talk with God to no avail': Akira goes looking for Mr. Outside, but never gets to meet him until the very end. The repeated 'All that I've ever known': Akira has a past life, but it's now lost to him and everything after waking up outside the White House is all that he's ever known It's quite fun to speculate on the lyrics from the full song that didn't make it into the anime too. | |

Did They or Didn't They?: In the movies, Saki goes half-way around the world to look for Akira, only to find that he doesn't remember her. Nevertheless, they hit it off again right away, chase each other around New York, frequently put themselves in danger for each other, flirt, date, appear to have fallen in love, separate again, and at last share their second kiss before the finale. Then the end reveals that even though Akira promised to come back for her, Saki hasn't heard from him. If the final scene is any indication, Akira will eventually return. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Eden of the East / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Where to begin? The show is littered with lampshaded shout outs to American movies — Akira's even mentions which ones he's referencing in his dialogue. A brief verbal reference is made to The Who's rock opera Quadrophenia, further contributed to by the moped that Akira rides through the series. Not unexpectedly, there are also a number of references to Production I.G's earlier Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: The two survivors from the missile-struck plane are an allusion to Motoko Kusanagi and Hideo Kuze from 2nd GIG. The design of the ATO Harima lab◊ seen in Episode 10 resembles that of SAC's Kenbishi Heavy Industries proving grounds◊. A wardrobe full of guns in the first episode includes Togusa's distinctive Mateba revolver. Akira remarks that he had a mental image of Juiz being "a bunch of girls in some huge room [...] all lined up and ready to take our requests", like the GitS Operators. Both series end with the interception of missiles in midair, averting major destruction. A less obvious one is when the members of Eden are meeting in Episode 6 and one of them pops out of a rolltop desk several times in a subtle reference to the prisoner from the Akira Kurosawa film Sanjuro. | |

Spoiler Opening: The opening features Seleção symbols with Roman numerals one to twelve on them, supposedly referring to a speculated twelve agents working for this mysterious organization (Akira is IX). During this sequence, IV, V, and X fade away in that order. Similar to the first example, there's a brief sequence in the first movie's opening that shows lines coming out of I's Seleção emblem and destroying II and XII. The closing credits are perhaps even worse. They show Akira's paper cutout pointing at and shooting down "missiles" before they can strike. The same happens in the last few minutes of the final episode. | |

| Eden of the East / int_d848560f | comment |
Unusual Euphemism: "Johnny" gets tossed around a lot, and not always in circumstances that make sense — the odd zombie-like creatures of Episode 4 get this name, for instance. Don't forget ".44 Magnum". | |

Design Student's Orgasm | |
| Eden of the East / int_e40f6792 | comment |
Design Student's Orgasm: Opening credits with a cyan/magenta-colored theme, overloaded with text, various elements related to the story and slowly-growing flower motifs — set to music by Oasis. The extended version made to accompany the Japanese single release is even trippier, with imagery of bucking horse statues, cherubim statues, abstract photographs of buildings and power lines, as well as a hand holding a half-eaten apple. The King of Eden has its own opening that appears to have been made by the same people. | |

Expy: It's no coincidence that Akira looks EXTREMELY similar to Morita. Then again, the character designs for Eden are done by Chika Umino. He also looks very similar to Aoi/The Laughing Man from the first series of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Considering the series share a director, this is unlikely to be a coincidence. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Akira had his memory wiped (apparently by himself) and cannot remember anything that has to do with himself — apart from his apparently near-encyclopedic knowledge of western movies (as in movies made in the West, not Westerns). | |

No Ending: One of the main criticisms of the both the series and the films is that they end with quite a number of plot threads that either weren't adequately resolved or were just plain skipped over. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: The anime was released in mid-2009 but assumes that the Freedom Tower has been completed by the time the series takes place in Early 2010. It also shows the Shuttle as a museum piece, though the Shuttle programme still had 2 years to go before being wound up at the time of the anime's release. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns: The entire tone of the show changes in Episode 8 when the plot really kicks in, the majority of the humor is cut out. Even Takizawa and Saki's romantic subplot is put on hold and not brought back until the last few minutes of the second movie. | |

Cut Apart | |
| Eden of the East / int_fea60f97 | comment |
Cut Apart: A very drawn out example. Osugi is drunk and wandering around the street just as Kuroha is walking down the same street and the episode ends. Next episode we see someone with a bondage mask on his face tied to a chair and being threatened by Kuroha, and Osuga's friends are unable to contact him but eventually judge an online poster to be him by the pictures of his stuff lying around the room. A couple episodes later it turns out the two never met on the street: the man in the mask was actually a serial rapist that stole Osugi's stuff before getting kidnapped and Osugi had his phone taken away while his new co-workers were making him drink a lot as a sort of initiation. | |
