Eden of the East (Japanese: 東のエデン, Hepburn: Higashi no Eden) is a Japanese anime television series, which was broadcast on Fuji TV's Noitamina timeslot from April to June 2009. Created, directed and written by Kenji Kamiyama, it features character designs by Chica Umino and animation production by Production I.G. Based on an original story by Kamiyama, it is the first original animation series broadcast on Noitamina.[4][5]
A compilation of the TV series, Eden of the East Compilation: Air Communication, had a limited theatrical release on September 26, 2009.[6] Two other theatrical films have also been released. Eden of the East Movie I: The King of Eden (taking place six months after the series) was released in Japan on November 28, 2009 and the second movie, Eden of the East the Movie II: Paradise Lost (taking place hours after The King of Eden), was released on March 13, 2010.[7][8][9] The TV series and both films have been licensed for release in North America by Funimation, which is now branded as Crunchyroll as of 2024.[10][11] The series premiered in the US at Anime Expo in 2010 along with a panel discussion with director Kenji Kamiyama, animation director Satoru Nakamura, and producer Tomohiko Ishii.[12][13][14]
