On November 22, 2010 ten missiles strike Japan. However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be known as "Careless Monday," does not result in any apparent victims, and is soon forgotten by almost everyone. Then, 3 months later... Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, she gets into trouble, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her. However, this man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, is a complete mystery. He appears to have lost his memory, is stark naked, except for the gun he holds in one hand, and the mobile phone he's holding in the other.

Where it came from
Eden of the East was produced by Production I.G and directed by Kenji Kamiyama, airing in the Fuji TV Noitamina block in 2009. The series was conceived as a social thriller exploring the anxieties of contemporary Japanese youth, set against the backdrop of an economic downturn and a rapidly changing technological landscape. Its plot follows Akira Takizawa, a young man who awakens with no memory but finds himself part of a mysterious game involving billions of yen and a mission to save Japan.
The character designs were provided by manga artist Chika Umino, known for her work on Honey and Clover. Her involvement brought a distinct aesthetic shift to the studio's typically hard-edged science fiction style, blending intimate, expressive human drama with complex political intrigue. The series was met with significant critical acclaim for its sophisticated narrative and thematic depth, eventually spawning two sequel films that brought the story to a close.
