Synopsis
Eden of the East (東のエデン, Higashi no Eden, 2009) is a Japanese anime series you can watch online on iFILM. A mystery thriller with a soft romantic streak, it comes from Production I.G under creator Kenji Kamiyama, and its tagline sets the mood: some conspiracies are more than theories.
College graduate Saki Morimi is visiting Washington, D.C. when she nearly lands in police trouble outside the White House. A strange countryman bails her out — he turns up stark naked, a gun in one hand and a phone in the other, calling himself Akira Takizawa. His memory is wiped clean. What he does have is a phone loaded with around ten billion yen in digital cash and a line to a secret game where twelve strangers were each handed the same fortune and ordered to save Japan by any means. Whether Akira is a savior or a terrorist stays unclear, even to him.
The story unfolds across eleven episodes and stops mid-stride, continuing in two follow-up feature films. Kamiyama braids amnesia, paranoia and the quiet pull between the two leads without leaning on empty action. It's a strong pick for fans of smart science fiction that prefers unanswered questions to loud payoffs. Watch Eden of the East online on iFILM.
