Then, three months later... Saki Morimi, a young woman currently Washington D.C. on her graduation trip, is saved by a mysterious man, who has lost his memory, and has nothing except for a gun and a phone with 8.2 BILLION yen in digital cash.
Review
I had written a much longer piece on why you should watch Eden of the East. Full of sociopolitical pieces about the fall of Japan as an economic power, the rise of the techno-logic aspect to life for people and go all in depth about the Facebook nature of some of the series with you. But I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'll give six reasons as to why to watch it.
1. It knows it's confusing.
Rating: 8/10
