I've heard good things about Eden of the East. And I saw the dub of the first ep. I want to see more, so I might buy the DVDs when I get some money and go to ACen.
As night falls upon the city, a fear grips its citizens. With the death of their hero comes the return of an old nightmare. He moves in the shadows and controls the minds of those around him leaving chaos in his wake. The inevitable return of pestilence is upon you. His return signals the begining of the end for you. Do not stand in his way, he has no sense of mercy and will destroy those who get in his way. No one is safe.

the only thing that **pickle** is that the real opening theme is only on the first episode. it changes after that...

Do they shorten it or something?

No, it was switched to a new song. As a word of explanation, the series originally aired in Japan with the song "Falling Down" by Oasis accompanying the opening. As you can imagine, a song by a band that huge is really really expensive to acquire rights for. FUNi was able to snag it for their release somehow, but only for the first episode; the rest use the same opening video with a replacement "international version" song. It's really a shame, since the song is awesome and works perfectly with both the video and the overall series material, but you can't blame FUNi for not being able to pay insane usage fees, and at least they were able to get it on there once.

I see. Well thats certainly interesting. I never knew Oasis contributed to anime. I guess big name bands do stuff like that sometimes.

Well Oasis didn't write the song specifically for the anime series; it was released as a single more than a year before the series premiered. The show's creative staff just decided to use it as the opening theme, since it fits really well thematically. They even did an extended version of the opening as a full-length music video.

Oh ok. Still that's pretty cool. I mean, Duran Duran doing the opening for Speed Grapher is one thing, but Oasis is a whole nother.

Wouldn't shock me.

 

Anime's been on the chopping block since 2007.

 

They're weeding us one show @ a time.

It was really treated very poorly and never even got the fanbase of the other red-headed stepchild, Code Geass.
