I have watched first movie in the "Eden of the East" series. It picks the story some six months after the anime.
Again, it is a strange, but captivating mix of secret-societies, high-tech thriller and cute romance comedy. This time story focuses mostly on Saki and not on Takizawa, who is mostly a goal here. Also, it brings other "Selcao" to the forth.
Unfortunately, things don't work in form of a movie. This is actually a three or four anime episodes glued together in one 82 minutes film. It would have been much better to make all episodes and then screen it normally.
This is a must for all who liked the original series, but be prepared to be angry at producers after watching it. As for the rest of you, definitely watch the original!
As of my next project, I plan to read "Shigurui" manga.
On this blog I write my impressions about books and manga I've read and anime and movies I've watched. Also, I occasionally post some random thoughts regarding this subjects. I try to be objective, or even when not, to state some bad sides of contest I describe (if I can see them). I presume that my first posts will be somewhat raw or confusing (especially since English is not my first language), but I hope that in time I will get better in sharing my thoughts.
