Eden of the East

[RyougaZell]

I guess that along with the fans the subbers also stopped giving a shit about Eden

I don't understand the feeling.

Sure, nothing 'ubber awesome' happened in the 2nd movie, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. I think people just got it over-hyped and forgot to see how it really worked.

Takizawa and his friends managed to overcome 'the game' and yet things mostly remained the same. That is because its the truth. Changing the world... changing the people... it just can't be done.

Whatever. I enjoyed it and thats enough for me.

I don't feel like I've understood much of what this was all about. My unsatisfied feeling also comes from the fact that Saki's relationship was left as anything but perfect. They even went as far as to man up her wimpy admirer, but they still didn't pull the curtains on the main pair.

After the second movie I felt like this this whole story managed to achieve nothing at all. Japan wasn't changed, the couple wasn't reunified. Some neets got a better life. Maybe that was worth something but if was a pretty grand operation with quantum computers, missiles, people dying, and all the other jazz just to get a limited bunch of neets a more social life.

It would have been a good ending if Saki and Akira had at least got together, even if the grander achievements had been left at this level. Personal happiness should always be a worthy goal.

Exactly.

They went through the elaborate process of eliminating each Selacio down to Mononobe and Akira (nobody else mattered by then anyway), and then the old man went "well that was interesting, thanks for participating", pulled the plug and ended his 120 billion yen game (excluding Juiz development costs).

I'm disappointed at the 2nd movie's conclusion, but I did like the 1st one for what it was. XI looked remarkably cuter when she's not chopping off penises.
