Eden of the East – 10 – This show just shat on me
So the story up until this was good. It was good because it really didn’t have anything too corny and too repetitive; it was, in a way, unique. But this episode… they really, really took a shat and made me think that its rating should go down to 5/10.
So blatantly put, my gripe on this episode is that Saki felt sorry for herself and Akira just because Akira was betrayed. Hell, even Akira started to feel down. Now, there might not be anything wrong with that in general but my thing is: How the hell can someone cry that easily? Those set of tears came too quickly and instead deserved more “mental damage” on behalf of Akira. Did the damage come? No.
- Things were too corny; too much repetition and sadness.
- Juiz isn’t human?
- #12 might be Mr. Outside and/or the Supporter.

Absolutely right! Akira doesn’t know who exactly how exactly betrayed him, without his memories it are only words. So why being depressive?
I knew it, I knew Juiz were a robot! She fulfilled the requests a way too fast. And with a that large computer, AI with emotions is pretty possible.
Hmm, my thoughts are a little different.
1) The scene cuts away so we dont find out exactly what is meant by Akira being betrayed but if it was so bad he previously wiped his memories to forget it then maybe its worth all those tears
2) Juiz… whilst its easy to think the trucks we saw outside the building where Juiz being relocated it depends how you view the translation of the transacton on the phone. I could be read “Move Jiuz herself to the secret location” I.e. herself meaning she is real… and infact it could have bene her deliverying the Champange an as a “Judge” in the game this is the first request we have actually seen denied throughout the show. This shows Juiz is either biased or the enforcer of the rules.
I think I’m going to remain hopeful for the end of the series. I guess but peeved me was it felt like it was trying to make this a realistic that someone could go out and do it…and well, it just didn’t work. It’s not realistic. It can’t be made realistic.
@tech: I don’t think there’s a hidden meaning in it. I’m pretty sure it was one of those corny add-ins to make his reason for erasing his memory seem important. Obviously it didn’t. It just became something which reoccurs in most Anime. And that sucks.
The delivering on the wine thing was really surprising to me as well – that woman sounded just like Juiz. Spoke like her as well. So yeah, she might just be what you’re saying – an unbiased “person” (still one more episode to go!).
@Janette: Agreed. I really do hope that the last episode has a “wow factor” so that I won’t feel upset in the end. The game was extremely short, and really, should have been longer. 24 episodes would have befitted it, if you ask me.
