November 22, 2010. Monday.
Ten missiles hit the territory of Japan.
However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be known as "Careless Monday" apparently did not cause any victim, and was soon forgotten by almost everyone.

Then, 3 months later...
Saki Morimi is a young woman currently in the United States of America on her graduation trip. But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, se gets into troubles, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her day.

However, this man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, is a complete mystery.
First of all, he appears to have lost his memory.
Secondly, he is stark naked, except for the gun he holds in one hand, and the mobile phone he's grabbing with the other hand. A phone that is charged with 8,200,000,000 yen in digital cash.

Who is Akira Takizawa?
What are the secrets behind his extraordinary mobile phone?
What got lost with his vanished memory?

(from Production I.G website)


I found the first episode really good ^^.
Who is watching that?

[Seanc]

I've yet to watch it but what's with Oasis doing the OP? It's weird/awesome.

[Charliehsv]

I expected it to be good, but not this good. Great artwork, characters, soundtrack and the plot is interesting aswell. Can't wait for episode 2.

[Aidan]

Just watched first ep, torrenting second. I really liked it.

[Mithrandir]

Pretty impressive first episode yeah, good animation, interesting story and great attention to detail.

Also the fact that they actually used real English voice actors was cool, in contrast to the Engrish we usually hear in anime. :P

[Aidan]

yeah, that was nice. The girl... Saki, I think, had pretty good English too, when she asked which room he lived in.
What an opening scene, eh? Oh, the White House. Oh, a naked guy with a gun. WHAT?

[lurch]

yeah I watched that this last week that was messed up. The anime seems be a globe trotting spy/love story. this seems of interest to me.

[Aidan]

I'm excited. Unfortunately my torrent of the second ep is taking forever :(

[lurch]

nana I will go download it now in 5min from BE

just being an ass lol I'm about to download my weekly run now though.

[Aidan]

question: Why DID that random guy give Akira his pants??

[lurch]

"pay it forward "

or his fame as 16 is more logical. (sorry if this is a minor spoiler)

[Aidan]

Just watched ep 2, it was just as awesome if not more.
"Juiz, kill these two. Bang. Bang."

Edit: Watched ep 3. Awesome. That dog is so cute!

[manje10]

Just saw the first 3 episodes and it's awesome, i heard there will be 11 episodes and a movie at the end of the year?

[Aidan]

Really? that's cool! I saw a spoiler about what the episodes were called, but I'm trying to forget it.

[Charliehsv]

I saw a spoiler about what the episodes were called, but I'm trying to forget it.

Oh lol same here. Episode 10 title > me. But considering this show, it maybe should not be taken literally as in it's what will happen. I hope that's the case, at least >_>

[Aidan]

episode 4 was interesting! I'm liking this show. though his little fantasy threw me for a loop at first. "Johnny! Johnny!" WTF? lol

[lurch]

I just re watched the 1st two with some friends and I missed a few things. Like the "glad it was cold out" to get away from that NY cop.

I like the last ep with the "illusion". I think that was 9.

[lurch]

episode 10 any thoughts?

[maxime1007]

episode 10 any thoughts?

This was fucking awesome and I'm really awaiting the final :D.

I hope the movie end the story and is not a remake of it tough =/.

[lurch]

what the hell is up with the nudity for no reason in this series even though they don't show it. CHARGE MY ARMY OF STREAKERS WTF??
Nice move on hiding (jules sp?) the phone operate on the other Messiahs

[maxime1007]

Just saw the finale and I'm eagerly awaiting the movie who will be a continuation of the story imo.

There's also a great confirmation, there will be TWO movie and not one :).

First is named ''The king of eden'', the second ''Paradise lost''.

[lurch]

nice I look forward to them both.

[Chase]

That fat man lived:sad:, I liked it better when he was dead, just jk.:smile: Overall the last 2 episodes were phenomenal. I lol a little at the way Saki and Mikuru ran threw that crowd of neets. Excellent anime and was great from beginning to end. Can't wait for the movies.

[Gohan]

I enjoyed the anime and I thought all the episodes were great. However I'm not sure if I'm too happy with the outcome of the last episode. Just for clarification: Did Takizawa erase his memories again at the end of the last episode or did he transfer being a selecao to Saki?
