Eden of the East Movies: (just gonna copy what I posted elsewhere with some editing)
After watching both movies, Im not really sure how I feel about the series as a whole. It feels like the shows focus was on the game, while the movies focused on the political situation and the meaning behind the game and I dont really think that was a good thing, for me at least. I will say that King of Eden and Paradise Lost were both interesting and, well, very good, but they took the series in a direction that (without spoiling anything) didnt really lead to a satisfying ending. I also think that both the show and King of Eden are flawed in that they dont really have an end, which is fine when youre watching the show and both movies relatively close together, but I cant imagine having to wait for Paradise Lost to come out after seeing King of Eden.
I did enjoy it enough that I know I'll want to rewatch it in the future though, so I plan on picking it all up on BD... after Paradise Lost comes out, of course. c:
