Oh great, we have to wait until 2010 to see the conclusion. That's really milking a project.

Actually, you can. The Keyhole TV program was put out by the Japanese government and the four original channels put on it are legal to watch, one of them being Fuji TV which Eden was aired on. That's how I've been watching the series. |

Ah, that's cool. I've never heard of Keyhole TV before. Mind you, I'm assuming you'd actually have to know Japanese to take advantage of this.

Well, this is good and bad news. Good because it's a great show and more of it is certainly welcome but bad that us fans over here are going to have to wait so long to see the films.

And also bad for the distributor because whoever is brave enough to get this one also has to license both films in addition to the series and music rights to include the series OP and movie music. |

To me, that just means that when it's close to the release date of the movies, it's time for a handy re-watch of the series. No harm at all!
This is a series that, if translated and released right with some sort of TV backing, could be huge. While there are lots of Japanese-specific idioms throughout the show, there aren't as many anime-specific ones. So the show can be enjoyed by people who aren't normally into anime. |

I cant believe that they could have made such an abrupt ending... which ends nothing, if those movies are the remake instead of a sequel then this is the worst ending they could have come up with.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. In fact, I really would have preferred a longer series with a conclusion as opposed to a two part film sequel. It's not unusual to have a movie for a series in any medium, but usually it's a remake or has a separate storyline from the series. Feature films and television series are two such different film formats that the jump is going to be jarring. I still think the movies are going to be brilliant, however. They'll probably be better than the series since the series seemed to want to be a movie.

If you've seen the last episode, it's pretty obvious who it refers to and why (spoilerific), which implies very heavily that it is a continuation, rather than a retelling. |

I'm confident these are a continuation and not a remake. If you've seen the last episode you will be able to understand the title "The King of Eden" very easily with the events of the episode.
Funni had included Eden in one of their recent surveys asking about what current airing shows would people buy if they came out on dvd so maybe it's possible they are looking into it...at least I hope they are. Full series box set with blu ray movie releases would be nice for this quality of show. |

Going by the last episode, I would be SHOCKED if the movies were anything other than a continuation of the story. The first movie could be a retelling in movie form I suppose, but the second one would have to be a continuation.
I think it is more likely that the first movie, King of Eden, is in reference to spoiler[ his newly purchased status as the King of Japan ] than to anything else. It makes perfect sense that way. East of Eden has the best original plot I've seen in years. I can only hope that we get a Blu-Ray release, and that the Japanese release of the movie on DVD is sometime this decade. Oh, and if spoiler[ the taxi driver isn't Ato Saizu ] I'll eat my proverbial hat. |

Original Plan from the start was 11 episodes and 1 film to finish it... looks like they are going with two films now though.

I just love that spoiler[Japan was saved by 20,000 NEETs and a Hikkikomori]. I will definitely be buying this series and the movies.
