While things can change between now and next month when Madman Entertainment release their December 2012 pre-order slate, currently Madman Entertainment have slated their Complete Collection of Eden of the East to be released in December. This will encompass the entire anime series, the two films “The King of Eden” and ” Paradise Lost” alongside “Air Communication” which bridges the gap between series and film.
In reviews on this site, the series recieved strong praise and ended up with second place in my Australian Anime Release of the Year 2011 (Coming second only to Dennou Coil). The release will contain both English and Japanese dubs as with the original and come with a wealth of extras. DVD and Blu-ray options are planned.
Akira Takizawa wakes up naked outside the White House with no memories. He’s got a gun in one hand and a cell phone in the other, and he doesn’t know if he’s a good guy or one of the worst. He doesn’t remember that the phone gives him instant access to ten billion yen and a woman who can make his most outlandish requests a reality. He doesn’t recall his connection to the ongoing missile attacks terrorizing the Japanese people, or the part he played in the sudden disappearance of 20,000 shut-ins. He doesn’t even remember he’s supposed to save Japan and will be murdered if he fails. Whatever it is he’s tangled up in, Takizawa’s definitely in deep – and that’s not even scratching the surface.
