This Weeks Pick: Eden of The East



"Nobilesse Oblige"
It's out first article. So I'd like to call on anyone reading this to re post, comment write, suggest, ect.
...without further adieu.
Eden of the East is this weeks anime pick. I recently finished this 11 part series, which includes 2 movies. The story begins strong with a young Saki Morimi on a class trip in America. Her whole world changes after meeting our protagonist Akira Takizawa- naked ,amnesic, brandishing a strange cellphone and a gun ,standing in front of the White House. The two trav-el back to Japan and begin to discover out about Takizawa's strange past.
I enjoyed this anime because of it's building suspense the keeps you watching till the end. beginning. There is a light love story between the two main characters which is layered on top of a secret agent thriller along with terrorist attacks. Also the anime mentions several American movies at points. I don't want to give away too much of the plot..
you can check out Eden of the East Online for free on Hulu.
