Eden

A very short, very original little anime that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Not an original story, but you can spend some good time watching it with you family, and maybe to learn to be a better human being ;)

Eden (2021) is a series that my daughter and I watched together on Netflix. The storyline follows a world run by robots created by humans that have long gone missing. The robots know the humans went underground but have no idea what happened after that. One day a baby is found by two robots and they keep her, raise her and protect her. As the young lady gets older, she wants to find out what happened and why.

This series is created by Justin Leach (Star Wars: Visions) and contains the voices of Rosario Dawson (Deathproof), Neil Patrick Harris (Gone Girl), Ruby Rose Turner (Coop and Cami Ask the World) and David Tennant (The Legend of Vox Machina).

The storyline for this was fairly straightforward, predictable but still fun and entertaining to watch unfold. The animation is very clean, unique and well done. The universe was interesting, and the security robots were intense and great villains. The robot battles are outstanding and while the conclusion is rewarding, it leaves you wanting more.

Overall, this is a fun family series that is worth watching but isn't outstanding. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Really could have used another eight or so episodes. The animation was fine the concept was good but it needed more time to breathe and flesh out the conflict. As it stands the ending feels rushed and perhaps unearned.

Pity though the second and third episode raise some neat concepts.

I'm giving this an 8 star since the story does go pretty fast with only four episodes. Many critics won't understand this, but since robots don't understand human emotions except human language there'll be plenty of times that the MC puts herself in danger. The robots don't understand how much danger she is in until she has left. A Human adult would already be aware of this danger and wouldn't have let her go on her own. But without going into it too deep it's an intriguing story. And the director said that if this show get good reviews there will be a season 2!
