I Endorse Eden of the East
I like everything about Eden of the East. The Op and Ed are done very well. The characters are interesting enough. The story is getting off to a good start. After three episodes there is enough information with abundance of mystery to keep me awaiting each new installment.
I found it interesting that the show starts off in the US and quickly returns to good ‘ol Japan. Although, I struggle to find the reasoning behind it. Other than the benefit of unique scenery (for an anime), what was the reason? I can’t see it being a big part of the plot, unless the US is bombing Japan. That would be interesting, but I don’t think they’ve made any allusion to that. It was mentioned that some of the Japanese population thought this, but that doesn’t really count.
Eden has highlighted one thing very explicitly. Apparently, the best way to pick up cute Japanese girls is to expose yourself. Also, the best way to get pants (trousers for you English folks) in the US is to show off your fun parts. Without a doubt, the best way to get out of trouble with a female police officer is to whip out Johnny.
…I learn so much from anime.

I continue to propagate my theory that Akira’s Johnny is analogous to Lelouch’s Geass. Face it, Production I.G.; this is BEST CHOICE.
(But yes, the settings, as well as things like such as alluding to 9/11, make EotE a legitimately good show, Johnny conspiracies aside.)

You and fucking every other single anime fan on the goddamn planet whose seen it. I seem to be the ONLY SINGLE PERSON who doesn’t like the show.

Machiavelli didn’t have a lot of imitators, apparently.
