Eden of the East generic discussion

[Haak]

Very pleased. I've liked most of their dubs. I'll be interesting who they pick for Akira.

Still haven't watch the series, but will it be going for a new season?

No, they're making two movies to follow up on the series.

[strategos]

No manga of this series or novels?

Apart from the unrelated manga of the same name, the only medium seems to be the anime.

[Starry Dust]

A manga adaptation would be cool you know. Or a cute mini Sakira spin-off to make up for the romance-lack near the end ;D

Isn't there suppose to be a novel version of the series coming out though?

Actually, there is novel adaptation. AFAIK it's running (or it was running) in the literary magazine Davinci. It's written by Kamiyama himself.

Whenever I think of Eden of the East, I strangely think of dingleberries.

Not exactly similar to EotE's cellphones, but in Netherlands they are in a developing phase for a phone which offers similar features to the one we are familiar with. It looks amazing to be honest.

The reason is that Layar needs a compass to work, as Maarten Lens-FitzGerald—from developer SPRXmobile—tells us:

I'm sure they won't have any problems. I can't imagine anyone saying no to such cool application— especially not when it makes use of the new magnetometer in the iPhone 3GS. Maarten also tells us that they are planning to make it available for any smartphone with GPS and a compass, which probably will mean the Palm Pre at one point.

But that doesn't matter if you are an Android user: You can download and play with it right now, although it seems that this release is limited to the Netherlands. Once more information layers are released worldwide, Layar will be extremely useful in many scenarios. The most obvious one will be to find your way in unknown places, but it will also be great for real estate and tourism guides. [Layar]

Spoiler for HQ Youtube Movie:

For anyone interested, I've set up something very interesting.

Eden of the East roleplay!

We are getting close to Eden!

This works via geotagging rather than image recognition. Anyone wants to start taking bets on when we get an Eden App?

[CaptGloval]

What I'm betting on is that Google will own an Eden App (either self-developed or bought).

This is a novel adaptation from the anime (not the other way around).

Is that a light novel or a normal novel? Also will it be translated? If so do you know when?

Normal novel. And no, I don't think we're going to see it translated any time soon.

[Haak]

Shaaaaame.

A bit late for the show (or bit early for the movie?) but I came across an interesting piece of information about an iPhone app. It's called Sekai Camera, which reminds me of the innovation of the gang in this show.

Facial recognition using the built-in camera (apparently you take a photo of someone and Google will pull in search results based on the image)

Close, very close.

2011 could be right on the money.
