Eden of the East Episodes 1-6 directed by Kenji Kamiyama,
produced by Production I.G. Review
Akira finds himself in front of
the White House without any memory of who he is or how he got there. He soon
meets a woman named Saki. When the two of them return to Japan, Akira must
unravel the mystery of just who he is. Will he succeed or is what happened in
the past better left forgotten?
Spawning a trilogy of films as
well as some novels, the first 6 episodes of Eden of the East are filled with
twists and turns as Akira slowly pieces together his past. The show moves at a
slow pace akin to live action dramas. The show boasts distinct character
designs courtesy of Chika Umino.
The one downside to this series
thus far is that the slow pacing can occasionally work against it and the
series can feel a tad dull. That being said the show thus far has plenty of
things going on both visually and plot wise to keep the viewer invested. The
animation is also solid as come to be expected of works animated by I.G.
Rating: 8/10
Eden of the East is streaming on Netflix Canada and
