Eden of the East is a short 11-episode anime series. Behind the main storyline of twelve chosen individuals tasked to play a 'game', this plot carries an unusually deep undertone. To put simply, it deeply discusses the strange hypocrisies in the human nature. Who will stand up and be the 'bad guy' when the time comes? Why do people choose to see the bad over the good? Why do people only cherish things when they lose it? These are just a few questions being tackled in the series. It is a stark but cruel reflection of our societies. It is said such societies need some form of tragedy to avoid an imminent evolutionary standstill. Are we at such a precipice?
