Synopsis

After preventing Japan's destruction, Akira Takizawa made one final request to become the "King of Japan," before he erased his memories once again and disappeared. Leaving Saki Morimi with his cellphone, the only clue she has in regards to Akira's whereabouts is the message, "I'll be waiting where our journey started."

Six months later, rumors have spread about Akira, and Saki's search leads her to New York City. However, Saki is not the only person who goes to investigate—with several billion yen burning a hole in their pockets and a challenge to "save Japan," the remaining Seleção are not far behind. Some are willing to help Akira achieve his goals, but a few are making dangerous moves in order to eliminate him and achieve their own picture of a better Japan. With rising stakes and new revelations, the game is still on.

THIS REVIEW CAREFULLY AVOIDS SPOILERS!

I think "King of Eden" is an unfit title for this. They could have at least added an interrogation mark ("King of Eden?") and it would have portrayed what's about way better (actually, it would be very on-point),while also making it more intriguing.

This won't be a negative review, though; I actually found this to be a decent continuation of the first season. If you've seen that one, you really should watch this,and the sooner thebetter. It not only follows the style and spirit of the first season (you can tell the same creators are behind this), but it also explains and ...

Mixed Feelings

Despite not innovating on what came before, Eden of The East the Movie I: The King of Eden managed to follow up the previous entry to an acceptable degree. In exchange for less risk, the plot followed a safe but uninspired narrative, opting to set up for the next iteration. Moreover, the decision to wrap the series up with films did reduce the amount of runtime available and led to an increased amount of exposition. However, there were some genuinely pleasant scenes, character chemistry, and progression in spite of those minor issues. This is a fine watch as long as your expectations are in check.

The story was just more boring than the series. The series has mystery surrounding how everything works and the discovering the system and secrets of the Selecao operation was pretty interesting. The movie has no such interest factor. Yes, Takizawa loses his memory again, but I feel like I'm rewatching the first part of the series again seeing him puzzled and Saki slowly helping him remember who he is. Basically, the movie just has a lot less going on.

The worst part of the movie is the collection of characters. The Eden of the East crew feel like they are just there. They're at the head ...
