HOLY SHIT. Speechless. Dat Animation. Dat Character design. Dat Character Development. Dat Plot. Damn It. If i could only shout it out. I barely had any hated characters. THIS IS A CONCRETE EXAMPLE OF AN experimental show turned into a phenomenal distinct masterpiece.

DAMN IT. One Movie and I'll Cry it out in tears that i only witnessed this on a short duration.

I will never forget this series. Production I.G = I give my hands up to you for making an anime an enjoyable ride.

TV Series = 9/10
Movie 1 = 9/10
Move 2 = To be watched.

Well done movie. The saki x Akira moments were awesome. I want another kissu!! The action picked up nicely at the end. The hype is real.

This really felt like 2-3 stretched out episodes. It was good, but just like in the series nothing really happened.
Saki and Akira's chemistry is good again, but not nearly as great as it was in the series. I'm really sad he had to wipe his memory.

I do wonder what those trucks actually were. Computers storing maybe a personal Juiz (a supercomputer) and with it access to the Selecao "account"? It was pretty stupid though. Did they really think that those huge numbers on them wouldn't give away what it could be?
I guess this was what No.XII meant by moving Juiz, but wasn't No.XII the supporter?
Also what stops No.I from launching another one to Akari's truck?

I'm gonna give this movie a 7/10 just like the series. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really differ from the series. Like I said, it was pretty much a few longer episodes. It didn't move the story murch further.
I hope though that the 2nd movie will give us a good closure...

Why did Takizawa erase his memories? It would have been alright to just continue without erasing them. And how come they can destroy their mobile phones without being killed?

Seemed like a prologue for the next film, and it wasn't all that exciting. Although the movie was good, I enjoyed the series much more.

I hope that the next movie will be even better than the series.

I think that in the overall it was a good movie, but with too much unnecessary thing. For exemple, the cameraman, he was so useless and adding nothing to the plot. Also, was it really necessary to bring back Yukki? If he's alive, the Defenser thing was pretty much bullshit. Same for Huira, I found his sacrifice kinda touching, but now it pretty much destroy the meaning behind it...

Why did so much people lost their Selecao status? I didn't understood that part with the truck. Was the truck carrying different Juiz? How did N°1 find out?

The beginning part with the guns in the bag was funny.

I think that Takizawa regained his memory a bit too fast. I mean, 4h laters, he's back to his ancien identity.

I think that the crazy lady good turn was interresting and well done (even if her escape from the first season was so weird...).

I also didn't understood why they shutted down their EOTE server. Was it because they were too much monitored?

Anyway, I must say that I'm kinda deceived, but that I'll stay optimistic and hope that the last movie make it for it.

A nice story, but not developed enough.
Makes you feel empty, confused because
of so so much pretty unnecessary things
mentioned. I know the political part is quite
important in the whole story, but I'll just say
it should've been less about that and more
about actions the characters did. I like slow
stories but this one's just a bit too slow for
my taste. I just really hope the next movie
will make it all seem worth the watching and
finally do sth of giant importance for the plot.

So 11 sacrificed herself for 9 by moving her "Tanker truck" in front of his in the line, right?

But won't 9 just be killed next due to his truck being next in line??

This shit makes me wanna drop the last movie. The series was "okay" with some holes but the movie really destroyed it. Holy shit. I'd give the movie 2/10 as a sequel.

Not bad! Watched it via English dub and I haven't a single complaint -- tried the Japanese sub and listening to the awkward conversation in American English and Japanese Engrish was painful not due to pronunciation but to unnatural phrasing.

The worst bits were Idiot Filmmaker #6, the episodic-like end, and OH NO, GIRL WITH GUNS at the start. The latter was super painful 'cause gun ownership is not illegal in the US??? Why are people immediately freaking out and jumping to conclusions?

Anyways, besides that, this movie worked like a three episode arc, and a fine one at that. 8/10

He lost his memory again, at least they were able to met and he believed Saki.
no.6 made some odd requests LOL
no. 1 is really doing all he can to win and eliminate the others.
It was pretty good, I just wish (like in the anime season) that there was more romance...

Explained a lot and gives new questions (but I am scared few of them won't be answered?) Nice!

Who the hell are those black suits at merry-go-round who attack them together with this crazy number 6?

Why Kuroha (11) didn't tell Juiz to move truck number 10 to front? 10 is already out of game so why she sacrifice herself. It is not like she couldn't request that.

I am ok with Juiz able to change Takizawa past in internet, but how can she delete other selcao doings from reports in selcao phones? That is cheating, or is it that she only deletes it from Eden data and it still can be seen in Selcao phones? If not then will we get to know who Takizawa really was before all this started?

It is strange but also nice to see Juiz be more emotional to all Selcao.

I am disappointed that Pantsu got tricked by Juiz and number 1(?).

I don't get that number 2 Tsuji motives...

I liked the idea that selcao who lose don't die like number 5 professor. This trick with wife killing number 4 cop earlier has even stronger effect now in movie.

Lol at the part where Akira talks in Japanese to American taxi driver.. wtf is that? They can't understand each other but they do understand? That part is stupid still full part with taxi driver is funny.

hmm what else? I liked all those funny moments in movie.
off to the last movie :)

it feels like the two films are supposed to be watched after each other. there are a lot of things i want to comment on, like the identity of the others and why juiz had to be destroyed but i better watch the second film first.

ps i liked juiz favourism, it makes sense too.

For the love of God, please subtitle the Engrish too. although, I did enjoy "shit, what the fuck is this"

Ok what the fuck. dont run around waving a gun and act completely clueless as to why people are freaking out around you. The least you could have done was walked away and pretend it wasnt your suitcase.

so No. 6 is just a threatless neck-beard pervert...

That beginning was absolutely hilarious. Poor Saki, always down on her luck in the states. Well overall this was a solid follow up to the TV show, certainly the calm before the storm. I'm always a fan of the Akira x Saki moments. The only drawback is that I'm a bit confused about certain plot points pertaining to Eden. Honestly the whole "We are the NEET!" thing feels like the weakest aspect of this series, but I'll give the second movie a chance to make that pull through.

Should be renamed Eden of the Cliffhanger to be honest. If the next movie ends the way the series and movie 1 did, I am so done.. -.-

A few unclear parts, a few rushed parts, clear drop in quality from the series despite remain just about the same, feeling wise. Still very much enjoyable but it could have been a lot better.

To be honest this felt like a prologue, most likely for the second movie. In terms of animation I'm not impressed, I didn't see any improvement from the tv anime, and the CG was particularly atrocious. 5/10.

This anime has such a huge boner for missiles

It's already predictable at the end of the episode of the TV Series. I mean, come on, who wouldn't expect that, especially when we hear that weird static noise after he saved the whole country after firing that missles.

Also, about the movie. I was expecting Oasis to return for the OP but... well... I'd say the OP here is bland... sadly.

The whole movie is just a prologue what will happen next in the next installment of the movie. I'm excited to watch the 2nd part tomorrow!!

Well, this can easily be counted as the second season, the story continues. Can't say I'm happy about Takizawa removing his memories yet AGAIN, even after saying that it's unpleasant to not remember a thing...

You could have basically skipped the memory wipe in the last episode, have Juiz change his name, and show the last 10 minutes of this movie and nothing would change. This was an enormous waste of time.

Unfortunately I had to watch the dub of the movies, but even assuming the sub has better dialogue and VA, I don't see putting this above a 4. I put the dub at a 2. They just can't seem to resist machine gunning the plot into Swiss cheese.

^^ lmao yeah this movie was boring, I've watched the series a long time ago but only watched this recently, although I don't remember the series being boring. The cool background music in the Funimation English dubbed movie trailers made this movie look way more interesting than it actually is 🙄 or maybe it's been so long that I watched this series that I don’t really enjoy this movie compared to if I watched it back then. Paradise Lost also bored me within the first 30 minutes.

this is dumb. why have all the mobile servers lumped together with obvious symbols painted on them, out in the open, how do they fill up? where do they get gas? it seems like a weak plot device and i hate it. everything but that part was fine. also, taking out every other player but yourself doesn't mean you win.

Never ever wait years to watch any sequel, i had no idea what was going on anymore.
I did think it would click eventually, Alas it did not.
Does not even make you want to go back and watch the original again.

Bewildering piece of total nothingness. I have no idea what anyone involved in this production was thinking. Surely they didn't actually believe that any of this would mean anything to anyone? Why didn't they stop Kamiyama from persisting with this utter folly?

Idk movie can be to be continue, this is my first time lol. I way getting excited for the next part. I remember watch the series a long time ago that makes me forgot. Once i watch it for a while i remember the plot of this anime. Getting excited when Takizawa will going back to Japan, thought he will do something big again. First meeting and date part was quietly entertaining. Kuroha-san always mysterious but also protecc Takizawa in many ways. Kuroha-san really a motherly character. Eden was terimated, they will do the backup plan i guess. Good story in this first movie.
