Eden of the East: Paradise Lost

If you aren’t already familiar with the Eden of the East anime series, then do yourself a favor and watch the original episodes as well as the first movie before you settle in for the conclusion of Paradise Lost. It may seem like a major investment of time, but since Eden of the East is one of the best anime stories of the past few decades, it’s well worth it. And doing the work ahead of time will make this final 90 minutes of the story all that sweeter. Paradise Lost starts where the last movie ended, with Saki and Akira on a flight back to Japan when Akira wakes up from a nightmare that his Selecao cell phone is attacking him. It’s a nightmare that spurs the young man on to uncover the remaining mysteries in the deadly game he’s been playing, as well as to put an end to the game once and for all. Although its sad to think the series is over, it’s one of the most satisfying story endings you will ever watch.
