Man if they leave this ep as a cliffhanger. I will flip out and prolly throw my computer out the window!

The least they could do is settle this up...maybe end with the opening for the movie or something...but FTLOG end this arc!

[Bliner]

I Wanna watch this episode but i know i will hate the waiting time for the Movie :P, probably this episode gonna be a cliffhanger XD

[Mystique]

*yawns*
Not falling asleep like I have been doing for the last two weeks xD

Time for the final round (for now until December or so)
Here's hoping it's a good one

(Will be edited post episode)

November 28th Movie day!!!
*jumps*

As for the rest of the ep...
Hmm...
Hmm...

I sense complaints, lol.
This ep was actually freaking hilarious, I mean what else can the Scooby gang do when trapped with 20,000 naked men? xD
As I thought to myself back in ep 1, it indeed has gone full circle to Saki's words in the prologue. It's not so much a 'built up cliff hanger', but rather:

"The 11 eps are your introduction and background to what's already happened.
Now the 'real story' begins (and prob ends) with the movies."
...Kinda set up, so I doubt many people will be on withdrawal symptoms over the summer and autumn much, they were kinda nice to not make it so anti climax but rather end it on a 'temporary conclusion' note for now.
I've a feeling that aspect will probably disappoint a lot of people, but you've come this far, check out the mini conclusion and enjoy it. ^^

As for what happens, I'd rather leave that for you to check out; it is the end result of the TV series after all and there are a few nice surprises

Definitely one of the most innovative and interesting series I’ve seen in a while though.
Bring on November!

PS:
And that English song used in episode 6 finally makes sense xD
"The king has come~~"
Elvis tribute I wonder?

[Starry Dust]

This last episode better blow my mind and be epic with some action ( I've been itching for it for the longest time lol )

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one anxious enough to post here xD

Spoiler for Episode 11 spoilers:

Eden group hides in a staff access room watching the NEETs rummage through their belongings. Saki explains to Eden group that Takizawa was trying to save Japan by evacuating the citizens. From here there's some details between in the conversation. Eden group finds the NEETs have raided Takizawa's apartment for food. Hirasawa, Ohsugi and Kasuga strip themselves naked to infiltrate the NEET group. Saki and Michoon rush through the NEETs and run upstairs. The mens group grab the laptop the NEETs have taken and gets chased by them, but only Ohsugi manages to secure it and brings it back to the girls. All power cuts off and everyone's cellphones gets a call from Takizawa. Then he announces something to them (I'm not sure what he said as I don't know Japanese).

Meanwhile, Mononobe flies off in the helicopter while Tsuji and Yuki talk, then Tsuji leaves in a car. Saki and others ride the lift back down but the NEETs try to get in. Takizawa saves Ohsugi from the NEETs, and Saki goes with Takizawa to the roof. Takizawa announces something to the NEETs that stuns them. Takizawa orders Juiz to use air force fighters to intercept all the 60 missiles. Saki is knocked unconscious by a missile that flew too close to the mall. Takizawa makes one last request from Juiz: to erase his memory again. As Takizawa and Saki watch the scenery, Takizawa receives a call and picks up, but becomes blank after hearing the tone. Before he loses his memory completely, he slips the phone into an unknowing Saki's pocket.

Eden of the East movie: November 28th 2009!

[duckroll]

There are actually two movies it seems.

Movie 1 = The King of Eden
Movie 2 = Paradise Lost

That basically confirms that the movies will be the second season of Eden, but probably with much more budget, which is good, seeing how Eden is one of the most popular new series this season.

Spoiler for Screencap:

Spoiler for Screencap:

It just hit me though.

Two movies will come out in the cinema from November, but on our side, we're gonna have to wait for the DVDs/Blu-ray before checking the series out short of being in the country at the time

So spring 2010? (Only around 9 more months)

[SilentOb]

Spoiler for Episode 11:

That was a pretty ordinary episode imo; wasn't as mindblowing as many hope it will be, but still it was unexpected that Takizawa erased his memories yet again.

On the whole, it's a decent episode though; Saki and Micchon dashing through the NEETs and Micchon's response when Ohsugi covered his Johnny with the laptop being quite hilarious.

It's also glad to see Pantsu still alive.

Selecao X lives on for another day, contrary to the OP spoilers. I didn't catch the conversation Tsuji had with Selecao X, guess I'll have to wait for the subs for that.

The main question that's in my mind now: Are Selecaos allowed to transfer their power to another person?

[duckroll]

The timing for the movies is spot on. The final DVD/Blu-ray release of Eden of the East will be released on 25th Nov, 3 days before the movies open in Japan.

The music was not in episode 9?

I really wanna see the Movie now!!! XD

[Kaoru Chujo]

Not exactly a cliffhanger, but a very partial conclusion.

spoilers follow

1. Akira accepts Saki's hand, as she accepted his on the boat. They go together to the merry-go-round.

2. Akira asks Juiz to make him the king of Japan, and she appears to agree....

3. He has one more request of Juiz, which comes through the phone with the same sounds as the initial memory-wipe. But he does remember to slip the cellphone into Saki's pocket, even after he gets that familiar shocked look on his face, so perhaps this is not a memory-wipe but a memory recovery? Probably not, since Juiz couldn't do that before. But why does he want to wipe his memory again?

The movies will be a "road show" around Japan, beginning on 28 November. Yes, that means we probably won't see them until the spring.... Did the apparent popularity of the sries lead them to do two movies, or were they planning that all along? I'm actually glad, since I think there is a lot to cover: recapping the TV series and then doing a whole new story of what happens from now on.

I'd like to know more than we are left with, but somehow I don't find myself that upset.

I wonder why nobody thought of that, a very simple way to win the game, but i wonder how much will that cost.

[Katsumara]

I thought it was a very fun episode, and I can't wait for the two movies. A shame it'll be so long away. =[

[karumofin]

end? what? this isnt 13 episodes?

[Starry Dust]

^No.
11 episodes + 2 movies unless you want to count the movies as making up for the episodes so it's more than that.

Watched it raw and I really liked what I saw
The naked NEETs part was hilarious xD

*waits for subs*

[Raiga]

As someone predicted, the foreshadowing from the ED comes quite literally true. That scene was pretty cool. Also explains the merry-go-round on the website, which I'd been seriously wondering about.

Severely need subs for this due to the extremely long monologues that I didn't manage to understand a single word of, but what I saw looks really good. ^^

It's gonna be a loooong wait for the movies.
