Eden of the East

Eden of the East is a 11 episodes anime series produce in 2009 with 2 additional movies call King of Eden and Paradise Love. After watching it this weekend, I cannot help but want moreeee. The ending feel incomplete and confusing at some part. But overall this is a good anime. I am getting tire of all those anime where all the girls in the show love one boy and boobs and stuff like that. Although this anime has 20,000++ naked guy, it's funny and awkward. ^^ (If this were 20000 naked girls, it might turn out to be something else entirely. *ahem*) The story is good with mystery and action. I would definitely recommend this to anyone to watch.

So here is the summary: 
On November 22, 2010, some unknown terrorist attacked Japan with 10 missiles, but oddly there are no casualties. They called this “Careless Monday”. The anime started 3 months later . A Japanese girl named Saki Morimi visits the White House in Washington D.C. for her graduation trip. Standing outside the white house , she took a coin out and tried to throw it inside the white house's water fountain, to make a wish. The police saw her, uh oh. What to do ? Should she run ? ... Luckily a knight in shiny armor come to help. *cough cough* I mean, a knight with no armor or clothes appears. In his hands are a phone and a gun. Who is this man? Why is he naked? Thanks to the naked man, the police ran off after him. Saved. Saki decided to give him her hat, scarf and coat. Then they both go their separate ways. :/ Is this the end of our two main chars? no no. Saki forgot her passport inside her coat! She needs it to go back to Japan. And there she goes, running after the no pant man. :D She follow him to his apartment to get her passport back. They both return to Japan afterward. And this is where the story really begins.

The naked guy who has lost all his memory, decided to take the identity of Akira Takizawa. He finds out that he has $8.2 billion to spend to save Japan. Apparently he was given $10 billion to save Japan. The phone he has can do anything he ask for, even murder, but charge a fee for it.   If his money gets to zero, the supporter will come and eliminate him. This game was created by a billionaire businessman named Saizō Atō. There are 12 players in this game. They are called the Selecao. Here are the list of the players. Some spoiler added. Cover your eyes.... as a matter of fact, just don't read anymore and go watch the anime. This is a good place to stop. Come back to read later . =P

In his journey to find who he is, he found out that he was involved in Careless Monday. But not as the one that attacked Japan but the savior. He recruited 20000 NEETS (the unemployed) to help get everyone out of the city before the missiles come. Unfortunately they don't recognize him as the savior but start to question if maybe he is the terrorist instead. He decided to hide these 20000 NEETs in a cargo and send them to Dubai for 3 months until everything die down. He then decided to erase his memory in order to keep this a secret. Aww our knight *_*

Mononobe, selecao number1, approaches Takizawa. He want Takizawa to join his team to win the game. Takizawa refuses to join after learning more about the game, his past, and Mononobe's plan for world domination. muahahaa. Any who. Mononobe plan to attack again with 60 missiles this time. What will our fearless knight do now? Takizawa ran back to his home, a shopping mall in Toyosu. Yes, his house is a shopping mall. =D Saki and her friends are there, along with the 20000 naked NEETS. Takizawa draw everyone to the roof and tell them about the new terrorist attack. He ask them to post how to stop the missiles on Eden website. (The anime is name after the company that Saki and her friend founded. They created a cell phone app that can recognize and provide details on the items that people posted via social networking. ) Then he ask Juiz, his cell phone concierge, to find the best solution for the missile crisis and stop it.  Juiz send the JSDF to attack the missiles and save the day. Takizawa knows that being a terrorist won't save him now, so he ask Juiz to make him the King of Japan. He erase his memory once again. Before he disappear he put his cell phone into Saki's pocket. THE END.
