Higashi no Eden, or Eden of the East in English, Is one of the most interesting and intriguing anime's that I have seen! The Director of this anime, also directed one well known anime; Ghost In The Shell, which of course, I happen to be a fan of. So that instantly helped it to gain a few marks.

However, this unprecedented terrorist act, later to be known as "Careless Monday," does not result in any apparent victims, and is soon forgotten by almost everyone. Then, 3 months later...

But just when she is in front of the White House, Washington DC, she gets into trouble, and only the unexpected intervention of one of her fellow countrymen saves her.
