Well Bourne Took Place in many places, Africa, Germany and even Russia, does that make it a series about Russia, Germany, and Africa? All I'm saying is that Eden can easily be accepted by the American Public, more easier then most anime shows that show nothing of the U.S. that's all I'm saying. I mean would the casual buyer/watcher rather watch, a show with a bunch of houses that don't look like theirs and places that they never seen/hear of or a show that has plenty of places they are familiar with from the start and then it moves them about in the world. That is one of the reasons that the anime Fandom is so small. It's because a lot of the people that see it can't relate to what they are seeing, Architecturally at less. That is why shows like DBZ, Naruto, Bleach and most of Gundams do so well. They don't focus on Japan (visually or in reference) and if they do the usually step away form showing Japan for a long time (This is mostly pointed to Bleach). |

No - but that's because it was made in America. This was made in Japan.
I actually agree with that, but has less to do with this...
...which makes virtually no sense; I can see Americans perhaps getting hooked by the idea that "ooh! It's in America!" but would they not be disappointed when the very next episode has them deep in Japan and Japanese culture? No, this could do well because of the story, characters, and high production values, not the setting. And the reason anime isn't mainstream in America has a LOT to do with the animation ghetto, far more than whether something takes place in a "weird" foreign country. Heck, if that was the standard, then even the shows you mention would fail, since they take place in strange fantasy/sci-fi settings, while shows that take place in more Western or American settings should be selling like hot cakes all the time! |

Drat, I was hoping the trailer would give us a sneak peek of the Hetalia dub. I suppose I have to wait longer. I think this dub is perhaps my most anticipated dub ever. Hetalia is a fast-speaking show which had me pausing a lot to read random bits, so English will probably make it easier to digest.
Then there's the whole accent thing... I was really anticipating an Emma dub now that I think about it, but that dream was shattered into a million pieces. |

Nice previews. Good to see that Eden is coming straight to Blu-ray. Can't wait to see it again. I've been pretty satisfied with FUNi's HD products lately. DB Kai and FMA Brotherhood both looked and sounded as good or even better than their Japanese counterparts. I truly am glad to own these. Keep up the fabulous work!

Sorry if you got bored watching the fansub of Eden of East but a snazzy preview is not going to change the pacing of the anime. It will still be the same show you got bored with. |

I've gotta say, that Eden of the East trailer is one of the best trailers I've seen from FUNi in a long time.
You've got a point there, but it just goes to show that the trailer was so awsome that it made a guy who thought the show was boring want to go out and buy it anyway. Thats got to count for something, right? Last edited by doubleO7 on Thu May 27, 2010 9:32 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I disagree, maybe for other people it would be the same but I just know for myself personally that snazzy trailers make me want to try at it longer, for this has happened to me numerous times with other shows. But if it ends up being the same thing, then oh well my loss, but it's just a weird thing that I have. The real reason why I gave up on it before I think was I didn't know what kind of thing they were going for, but this trailer makes what I have watched a lot more clearer if that makes sense. I don't know I just really like the trailer so I want to watch it again, does that make me shallow? Probably but oh well, I don't have much to do this summer anyway. |

Can't wait for Eden of the East. The other two don't appeal to me very much, but I will still stream an little of each just to see if my instincts are wrong.

You should give it another shot. It gets very good. |

Well how much more obvious does Eden of East need to be for you in order to portray it was going for a mystery drama feel...the protaganist waking up naked with a gun and an apartment full of passports just not enough? So a 60sec trailer makes the actual shows purpose more clear. The innocuous trailer has less information in it than the plot summary of the show on ANN. If you watched the first episode and were bored with those scenes then you will get bored more often as Eden of the East has high points and low points, the intro was one of the highest points of the series. No snazzy trailer will help you overcome your admitted boredom when the show slows the pace. |

Some of those clips in the Eden of the East trailer are from the movie I think. I hope by complete collection they mean it includes the films too. I can't wait to own this since I love the show quite a bit.

Only if Funimation can get Jodi Benson to play the part!

The Hetalia trailer reminds me very much of the promo videos for Little Big Planet and EyePet- that's not a bad thing, but it does seem a bit off for me... a smidge too 'laid-back', maybe?
Perhaps I'm just miffed that there's a release date, but no bloody preorders are open! C'mon guys, TRSI is having a Funi sale right now! I have money set aside for this! Just get things set up and I'll buy it! (While you're at it, get Eden of the East up too- it looks good, I wouldn't mind picking it up.  )
