Eden of the East

What you need to know:

tl;dr:
This show is awesome. Watch it.

More in-depth: An 11 episode mystery involving a memory-wipe, 8 billion yen, terrorist attacks, and a detective who has a "Bang" that can put Spike to shame.

The protagonist has no memory aside from an encyclopaedic knowledge of movies, a wacky cellphone charged with 8.2 billion yen, and a concierge who can arrange the impossible.

The antagonist (?) has a memory, a career, a wacky cellphone, and considerably less than 8.2 billion yen.

Animation is beautiful, production budget seems to be through the roof, an OP by Oasis, and an ED which is reminiscent of what ufotable has put out.

Easily gearing up to be my #1 of the season, pulling ahead of FMA mk 2.

Watch this. Srsly.

The OP gives me the impression that the apocalypse will happen at the end. Which is to say that was the visual imagery they were going for and I've decided to take it literally because making baseless assumptions about a show's direction is fun.

The American voices are good, though I wish the main characters spoke more bad American to Americans, since most Americans don't know Japanese.

Show looks nifty, and I will continue to watch it.

This show is excellent, and I was surprised that it sounded like they got some actual Americans for the American voices.

Episode 3 is out.

Man, Detective-Man died fast.

[Eltargrim]

The series is only supposed to be 11 episodes long.

Wow, sucks to be a NEET.

[Kim]

Thinking about it, the weird thing is he might actually have been trying to save the country by killing them.

Also, poor V...

I wish there were twelve of us here who were major fans of the show. We could all be NPF Selecao.

Looking at the prophetic OP, X will be the next to bite the dust.

I call dibs on XII or VII!

Also, I love how Saki is pining over Akira like it's the end of the world, whereas he's lost his memory, may well be responsible for the deaths of 20 000 people, and has to be worried about being killed for half a dozen different reasons. The difference in priorities is astounding, and somewhat hilarious.

On the Supporter: it's obviously not no. IV, V, IX, and judging by the OP, probably not X. I went back to ep 1 to see if it was the guy in the car, but according to the law of "One set of clothes per character", it's probably not. On the other hand, his face was hidden both times, raising suspicion! He's no. I, by the way.

Eden of the East summary: NEET, NEET NEET NEETNEET. NEET.

Also: NEET.

Aside from that, their use of NEET confuses me. I understood it as being: Not engaged in Employment, Education, or Training. They are obviously engaged in Education. They are terrible at being NEETs.
