I think Beatrice is a pretty cool witch. She kills people endlessly and doesn't afraid of anything!

Eden of the East 04: 1-800-JUIZISSEX

Posted by: Shin

Oh dear, I think I'm also smitten by Juiz. She's like your very own personal 24 hour cybersex hotline where you can just dial and go "Emm, talk dirtaay to meeh, Juiz....", where she'll then proceed to oblige your noblesse if you know what I mean.... I think I just pre-leaked. That's right, even for a disemboweled voice, there's just something about her titillatingly flirtatious nature that is uncommon for her role, to the point she may as well sound too convincingly human. Which is why, even if she was just an A.I, I would still jam it in her Universal Serial Bus and Network ports or whatever other orifices a computer might have :twisted: I'd be terribly disappointed if that wasn't a key feature in NEC's offering.

But back to serious business. Speaking of voices, it struck me as rather odd that Akira can be so trusting of a fellow Seleção despite Kondou's warnings and his untimely death at the hands of a Supporter in the previous episode. What's even more hilarious is that the voice in question casually asked if Akira was an assassin out to get him. Also, for the most part, I honestly felt the story carried itself pretty well despite our hero being seperated from Saki, who at this point serves no real purpose to the story, unless of course she was a Supporter herself and I won't be surprised if she proves to be more trouble than she's worth and in the worse case scenario, lead to his downfall. If movies of a similar genre have thought of us anything, having a female around will only bog the hero down :razz: And those homosexual white humanoids? I don't even...

Eden of the East 03: Mass Naked NEET Events

Posted by: Shin

It doesn't get any better than this! Every week, there is this feeling of familiarity that can be derived from the obvious nods made by this anime towards, among other films, including:

  • The Bourne Identity
  • Paycheck
  • Total Recall
  • Taxi Driver
  • Eagle Eye
  • While it seems there is the insinuation of plagiarism on my behalf, I for one, do not mind at all, as I thoroughly enjoy spotting these references, being the self professed pop culture junkie. While the story has begun revealing its grittier side, Eden of the East is still able to put a smile on my face with its humor and light-hearted moments that hardly seem out of place. Further insight into the Selecaos' objectives and purpose was certainly intriguing but the revelation of the cleansing of the NEETs that shuddered me, since I am able to identify with them :shock: Pity Kondou had to die so early, but I suppose it was to move the story along, by introducing the "Supporters", whose roles apparently are to eliminate the likes of Akira and the others once their credit runs out. And speaking of the phone:

    Eden of the East 02: The East Is Burning Red!

    Posted by: Shin

    It's official, this show is a definite keeper. Although my reasons for loving Eden of the East is somewhat different from say, people like Hinano, I do appreciate the well executed character interaction set pieces. It made me go all DAAAAAAAAAAW, a reaction somewhat alien for a ℳℴℯ❤ fanboy such as myself, since most of the times I would be going all HNNNNNNNNG. But above all else, this episode seem to have delivered on what I've been hoping for the moment Akira showed up with a revolver, cellphone and the arousing lack of clothes; an intriguing espionage thriller.
