| wow this was actually a really good movie. A lot of new really good points were brought up that werent in the main tv series. Id even rate this a point higher than the tv series. |
~my list
| And I said after the first movie "this was the calm before the storm" only to watch another 90 minutes of calm. Certainly not what I expected with how things were moving. It wasn't bad, I liked it in many respects. However, it certainly left more to be desired. It's hard to say right away, but it felt like there was too much of a focus on the whole prime minister/illegitimate son subplot. Especially when it gets brushed off at the end as "Ah sorry, I just did that to get your attention!" I'm also still very much confused by who Akira's father really is. Maybe his mom was just having an affair with the PM but it wasn't him who got her pregnant. "You want to lick my lolipop?" Oh boy, guess that guy is going to get his shower request, just not the people he was hoping for. Mr. Angst-&-Vengeance comes in with the gun and Mononobe gave him absolutely 0 fucks. It's actually very anticlimactic, I was hoping there would have been more cunning and craft involved in his quest for revenge. Hell this whole thriller cell phone game felt fairly watered down once all was said and done. I do like this emphasis on the generation gap even if it came off as heavy handed at times. Rather than advocate for the NEET lifestyle, it shows how the actions of one generation can affect the other. It's not to pin all of the responsibility on the previous gen, but it's far too narrow minded to say that they didn't have a hand in the next one's development. I'm sure being more familiar with current events in Japan would have helped drive this theme further home. The way in which the government slowly sidelined the NEETs reminded me all too well of bitter reality. It's something I often noticed after camps/retreats I'd go to in school. You get a bunch of kids pouring their hearts out to each other in front of a fire at night, everyone gets home ecstatic and overflowing with love and joy for each other. Then weeks pass and it's like there's an even greater wall than before. Ah but back to the NEETs, at least Akira's actions helped them get back up on their feet and start to make strides forward. Slipper to the faaace! That ending with Akira in the cab does feel like a moment where the new and old generation can see eye to eye. There's certainly a load of questions racing through my mind about Outside's memory loss among other things, but I don't mind if some of them remain unanswered. I am disappointed, however, that the post-credits wasn't dedicated to Saki and Akira reuniting. And something has been bothering me since the start. I don't mind CGI when it's used right. For the most part this series and its movie counterparts manage to do that. But those CGI crowds are so ugly Ugly ugly UGLY. Fake rubber people. Well anyway, this has been quite the adventure. The movies were good but ultimately the TV series was Higashi no Eden's peak. TV Series: 8/10 Movie 1: 7/10 Movie 2: 7.5/10 |

| Why did he leave her AGAIN? i don't like the ending (凸ಠ益ಠ)凸 ....the series was 10/10 this shit is 7/10 i guess <(￣ ﹌ ￣)?> |

| I guess most of us share the same sentiment, that this movie was atrocious or didn't live up to the hype the series created. This movie almost ruined the entire franchise if it weren't for the final 10 minutes of the movie. This entire movie is filled with tons of inconsistencies, and the characters are as generic as they come, unlike the first 5 or so episodes of the series, they were really unique at the beginning. I love this ship, Akira x Saki all day, but deleting Akira's memory didn't help with the chemistry he has/had with Saki.. It's just weird, and unbelievable for Akira to fall in love with Saki again and again so soon after he just met her, the magic just disappears when you overuse it. I would want a sequel just to have this series end properly with Akira and Saki becoming a thing, and cover up all the holes this series/movie started, especially the issue with Akira's mom. |

| I really started to like the story but like everyone else seems to say, it seemed like the story got kinda bland towards the end. Tbh, I feel as though the main reason i kept watching was because of the art. Production I.G had great attention to detail and it made every scene worth watching. I liked it, just felt like they could have done alot more with the unique storyline. |
 I have small reviews for almost ALL anime I've seen. Unlike any regular MAL page you've seen. Ever wondering what I've watched and what I think about it? Check my List out below! https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Iam_Jermaine |
| Well that was disappointing, I expected a better ending to this whole Celesao thing. 3/10. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| For me is a slow peaced movie, following the facts showed in the last movie, this is the final resolution, a kind of political conflict. The characters objectives are confusing, and is only focused in two guys at the end. |
 |
| Ahhhhh, I've watched this entire series + 2 movies several times now, each time with a year or so's break in between. And every time I find myself screaming into my pillow that Aki and Takizawa didn't end up together. Turns out their whole ordeal was only 11 days? Just an 11 day fling in Aki's life? Ahhhhh I can't! It hurts my heart T_T Please I need a sequel, I don't care if there's no content at all, except them reuniting and settling down together. I need my happy ending D: |
| 落下のように、いつも落ちる。いつか救われることができるのかな？ または落ち続けるでしょうか？永遠に |
| hmpf, again he left -.- it's a shame, would've been a great ending with both of them together well, at leas she's not together with that dipshit Osugi |

2ego said: Damn so the last thing he wanted to do was hit Mr. Outside xD I was feeling depressing when Saki said "That was the last time we saw him" but luckily he's there, and he probably returned later, so all good! Well, the first part of the anime was better than the two movies, that's for sure, the two movies are like some action shooter movies, while the anime is really mysterious and intriguing. Well, cool watch though. The ending is obviously meant to be up to your imagination but I don't understand why you guys all think so negatively. She says it was the last time they saw him but only half a year has passed. That's like around the same amount of time when he vanished at the start of the first movie. They promised each other that they'll meet again, so just believe in that. There's no reason to believe that they'll never see each other again. |
| So the series concludes with the whole game restarting the players memories eh. Takizawa finally fulfilled his wish to bump Mr. Outside. Every player got what they deserved to in a karma way. Finally the story ends on a good note. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

The last line is a voiceover of Saki saying that this was her 11 days with him. Sounds to me like that is all it will ever be. Either way, Takizawa promising he'll be back after doing "one thing" and then it ending with him not coming back is simply irritating. The whole film was anticlimatic anyway. After this grand mystery, this game of improving Japan and it ends with a whimper. Disappointing. |
 |
| If I have to endure another shitty shoujo/jousei female lead like Saki in another series/movie I am killing myself. Only someone that archetypally stupid would go after some arsehole like Takizawa. Still waiting for the "Aha!" moment delivery. The only thing remotely redeemable is the insight into Japanese history and society (Takizawa's hot take is crap tho), which can be applied to many other countries. I'm writing this in 2020, hopefully they will never dig this out from 6 feet under and try to practice some necromancy in the shape of a 2nd season or 3rd movie (my 2 remaining braincells after watching all this would implode if they had to endure one of the worst romances in anime history for 1 more minute). Also, trying to review the series as a separate thing from the movies is just as retarded as this whole thing can get. |
| Disliked this from start of season one to finish. Girl didn't even end up with boy. Story made no sense. Waste of time. |
 |
| I REALLY enjoyed the show, but as many had said, the films just didn't live up to it. The romance was incredibly poor, the game made no sense in the end (to me!)and Takizawa just disappears again, as if wiping his memory a second time wasn't shitty enough. Not gonna lie, I'm kinda annoyed. Goddamn it why ruin it like thiiiis? |
 |
| "okay plan complete thanks for all the help with my plans, but now you're old and dusty and my plan is the hot newness so cya suckers" what an asshole, what a shit ending could have used an OVA or something to clarify or smooth it out |
 |
| Well that was disappointing. Akira and Saki's relationship isn't much but it was the only thing worth watching and they didn't even get that right. At least we got another kiss, which is a lot more than some other Japanese romances. |
| Oddly, the whole series feels like a Hosoda story. Young people being discriminated against by older folks/society, and the reliance on borderline sci-fi internet technology, but without the scientific part (because the show never explained how Juiz or Eden work, they just.... work). A lot didn't make sense, like how did he end up naked in front of White House in ep 1? Just wiping his memories doesn't explain that at all. They made a big deal out of "who's the Supporter?" but never explained who. For a highly sophisticated technology, why is Juiz physically segregated in a tanker and not some AI in the cloud. Like why even allow them to be destructible, since Saizo was obviously trying to protect it (as opposed being laissez-faire towards them). And then there is the game. The whole time I thought Takizawa was trying to win the game (to survive, genuinely wants to improve Japan, or whatever), but in the end, everyone wins anyway, including the guy under tax investigation. No one dies (yeah yeah except that guy early on, implied death anyway, and the missile downing an airplane, does anyone even remember that incident?). And improving Japan ended up being "livestream to everyone in Japan and give everyone a penny". Talk about anticlimatic. Fundamentally, I could not understand what it was trying to convey. Don't discriminate against young folks in hiring? Down with the money class, redistribute the wealth to make the country better? Be Jesus and become a martyr and take on everyone's sins? NEETs are neat? Well, at least they got proper American English voice acting in the Japanese dub as opposed to Engrish. |
| farewell Airking! |
 |
| Gruelingly tedious and trite ending to this abortion of a series. Can certainly see why Kamiyama never worked on a major production again after this, Eden of the East was entirely his creation and it was an utter embarrassment. |
| Definitely an inspiring movie to conclude the story. Thanks~ |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| This new sequel i don't see any fighting scene so it just full of conversation and progressive story. But fortunately, it gets a good ending for me. I was really enjoy the show. Finally Takizawa and Ato meet up, maybe they want to do business together? idk. The kiss moment, it should not be like. I feel like it is not fit. Aftermath they are living normally. Love to follow untill now, it was a good show. All the hints from Movie 1 is spread out in this Movie 2. So my assumption, this Movie 2 is a conclusion for Movie 1. Great job to make me amused. I thought the ending was Takizawa will meet-up with Saki, but thats not like that. |
