What Makes Eden Netflix's First "Japanese Original Anime"? | Den of Geek

As Netflix cancels its American, live-action TV series, it wades furthers into the arena of international production.

Earlier this week, Netflix re-released the promising trailer for Eden, a science fiction anime series coming to the streamer in May 2021. The four-episode, Japanese-language series is set thousands of years in the future in a robot city known as “Eden 3.” When two farming robots accidentally awaken a human baby girl from stasis during a routine assignment, they begin to question everything they thought they knew about the myth of humanity and decide to raise the child secretly on their own...

鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (lit. Alchemist of Steel Fullmetal Alchemist) is a sci-fi/ fantasy anime produced by Bones and directed by Yasuhiro Irie starting spring 2009.  It is the second TV anime adaptation of the manga Fullmetal Alchemist, written by Hiromu Arakawa, being a more faithful adaptation than the 2003 anime.

The story follows brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric on their quest to restore their bodies after an alchemical experiment gone wrong.  As they travel the county of Amestris, they learn dark truths about alchemy and the world that they live in.

This anime is extremely frustrating as it exemplifies the degeneracy of anime in its modern form.  Fullmetal is set in an approximation of early 20th century Europe, and more specifically, Germany.  There are trains and cars zipping around everywhere, it is a military state with automatic rifles and tanks, there are radios and telephones, and there are fully controllable and articulated prosthetics.  But do you know what there aren’t any of?  That’s right! Airplanes!  There is never a scene with so much as a plane in the background. None of the battle shots depict an air strike.  It’s like all the people of world were so busy trying to turn lead into gold that they forgot to look up and wonder how birds fly.  It’s like Arakawa decided that it would be too much trouble to integrate alchemy in flight, but instead of shifting the apparent timeline of her world back fifty years (which would have still given her the trains that she loves so much), she just ignored it completely.

Anyway, there’s no use dragging this out any longer than it has to be; Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood gets zero airplanes out of five, and it sickens me to see that it is lauded as one of the best anime of all time.
