I also have recently watched both movies. I thought the 2nd one is better then the 1st one, but I do not think both films are that great. It is watchable, but I feel it is forgettable too - it does not strike me as unique nor the ending has any impact.
I am well aware of the social problems in Japan (youth unemployment, NEET, social and economic inefficiency and inflexibility), and certainly deserves an anime series that devotes on that issue. Give that social problem a spin - like make a mystery and conspiracy, one have high potential to be make some great drama out of it. However, I think Eden of the East fall short of that. In the end, the series and the film just becomes another ordinary mystery/conspiracy series...
