And I hope it’s not something ridiculous like data about how to be a king being transferred directly into his mind. And if so why? He turns to leave, but Saki stops him because she suspects that he’s really here to save everyone. Whether or not he will prevail over sin and evil is not clear, but God has given a direct order: he must try to prevail. I nearly cried my eyes out.

Once they’re able to look at the data, they realize that one of the targets is none other than where they are, Toyosu. Let’s just hope the movies are worth the wait. Writers Batmanglij and Marling spent two months in 2009 practicing freeganism and co-wrote a screenplay inspired by their experiences and drawing on thrillers from the 1970s. 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. This verb hints that free will is not available to Cain. Nothing wrong with you, different people have different taste . Not those typical stereotype plots. I don’t quite get why Akira whipped his memory a 2nd time, or the need for it. As a sample, the part where you see Akira they keep saying ‘The King has come!’ and so on. speculation – (and his taxi side job unnoticable to other Selecaos)…, @All those who think he restored his memories 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”. I wish the series had just extended itself into summer rather than waiting for two movies; this one seems kinda slow. Human history has repeated itself, and it continues to repeat itself. Cathy, though somewhat different from Caleb and Charles, is also fueled by jealousy. Close. That is definately one of my suspicions, possibly that Akira may have wiped his memory, but not all of it.

Now I have to find ways to watch the movies as well. With Adam on his deathbed, he pleads to his last remaining son “Timshel!”. @ Catsby and Eria “USE PLANES TO SHOOT DOWN MISSILES” yeah you have to be a genius to figure this out… Secondly, how come Akira still is able to use Juiz, I mean if it was that simple, why wouldn’t Nr.

Confirmed this episode. Adam knows that Caleb is doomed to live a mean life, full of guilt over his brother, but that doesn’t mean that he should succumb to that fact. always hate cliffhanger. Eden of the East (Higashi no eden) -- Confused by Ending. Very well done, the animation of this chapter I mean. Blackshirts and Reds is both an explanation of what Fascism is in all it's nuance, a genuinely horrifying revelation of how cozy and deeply ingrained genocidal fascist elements are in our ruling class and corporate establishments- in a way that never went away- and most importantly, where it comes from. “I can’t really understand the why behind the 2nd memory wipe.”.

It’s been shown in history that there were benevolent Monarchs but most would end up becoming corrupted while looking for absolute power. The bright side of leaving a lot of things unresolved is that they at least didn’t have to rush the story to get everything wrapped up nicely by the finale. 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.

Well, it was an amazing episode to say the least but the cliffhanger was a killer D: It was kind of predictable yet surprising at the same time that he became the prince because it was said in the first episode, but also I thought of it as a metaphorical statement and not a literal one. v) The game may or may not have ended. He did spend most of his money. Caleb acknowledges his own wickedness explicitly when he proclaims that he is full of meanness. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.

The sound effect in the last episode is exactly the same as the one in Ep.01 the moment he loses his memory. ahhh I’m comfused. Or did Adam favor Aaron because Caleb was “full of meanness”?

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. The same core stories that were important at the beginning of humankind are still true today. Aron is meant to mirror Adam; Caleb is meant to mirror Charles; the relationship between Aron/Caleb and Adam/Charles mirrors that of Abel/Cain. “or even have lost interest in the show by the time the movies come out.”, I dont really think that is possible, haha. Or the part h… Eden of the East really is one of the best anime this Year ^__^, wait guys, Fortunately, she’s okay as well, and while she’s still waking back up, Akira calls Juiz and asks her to make him the king of Japan with the rest of his money.

Tsuji in particular is unimpressed and thinks that Japan has already on the way to its demise. Improve this question. 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. But he gave his phone to Saki. @M11 Ha ha. Some bias events could possibly be that he really cares for Saki and wouldn’t want to put her first; maybe he wanted to be able to put everyone first, sort of like the Spiderman split between Mary Jane and Aunt May when he’s forced to choose between the two when the Goblin throws them in the air in the movie. 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. (Only reasons i started crying.). Warning: below thar be spoilers, so proceed with caution! The stairwell up thus becomes jam-packed with naked NEETs, so Saki and the others try to take an elevator. 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. I believe he did so to keep a connection with her; but if so, why take the trouble or erasing his memories…again? Thanks!

So the question is, what different Eden of the East, Seasons / Series / Movies are there? It is. And so, in cutting the series so short they have secured the vague title of “the series that could have been good”. Again, free will is left out of the equation because he has been told what path to follow. What did you think of the East of Eden ending. Why do they make it so hard to recommend this show with that opening scene. It’s also definitely a chill scene. Why even leave seperate when your just going to end up in the same place. If he did anything, they would have noticed. And I couldn’t agree with you more, it IS incredibly fun. Ha! 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. 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. Is he actually someone important, like Mr. Outside? If God proclaimed “You Shall,” then Cain’s path is already determined — God knows that Cain will triumph over sin and evil. @lang0 The ending theme, while less notable music-wise, uses a very distinct style, using a stop-motion sequence made using papercraft. “Timshel” is used here as advice.
