Now they are even region blocking trailers!!!
FUNimation's starting the slow ramp-up for their April 26th release of the second of three Eden of the East movies with "The King of Eden" getting its trailer released today. FUNimation released the TV series in both a DVD and Blu-ray edition late last year to critical acclaim as the show has a lot of appeal with its worldwide focus and the opening about a supposed terrorist in front of the White House. The Production I.G. series also boasted the creative talents of Kenji Kamiyama who wrote and directed it. Kamiyama's credits are extensive enough but he's largely known for his work on Ghost in the Shell TV and Moribito: Guardian of the Sacred Spirit. His work as an art director goes back much further though with credits going back to the early 90's with Burn Up!, Hakkenden and Roujin Z.
Plot Summary: The intrigue goes international in The King of Eden, a feature-length conspiracy thriller that continues the action of the acclaimed Eden of the East. The deadly game that began in Japan now intensifies on the streets of New York City. The rules are the same: Do whatever it takes to win. Die if you lose.
Takizawa prevented Japan's destruction -- and then he vanished. Six months later, clues lead Saki to the Big Apple in search of her missing friend. Meanwhile, the remaining Seleção are plotting their final move. Some of them would prefer Takizawa dead and out of the way. Some might even be willing to help him achieve his goals. Unfortunately, some are prepared to destroy everything if it means claiming checkmate in Mr.Outside's puzzling game.
