MightiMidget's Review
Content notes: Eden of the East is not gory, though violence occurs. One person is stabbed and bleeds to death, though only the aftermath of the stabbing is shown and not the stabbing itself. Another character is shot in the head with a resulting blood stream. Two more people meet similar ends, though at a distance without the detail.

Most of Eden of the East’s objectionable content lies in the sexual innuendo or themes. In the first episode, Takizawa appears with a gun in one hand, a cellphone in the other and wearing nothing but a somewhat confused smile. He isn’t particularly shy about being nude either, and cracks a joke about his male anatomy (or his “johnny” as he refers to it) now and then. You see his (and other) rear ends, but genitalia is always censored out by way of white blotches–which could be just as awkward for some people. There is a serial killer who is referred to as the “Johnny Hunter” who cuts off her victims’ “johnnies.” She is frequently seen in lingerie only. Later in the series a ton of people are unloaded off a ship, nude, as they scramble for clothes (again, sensitive areas are censored).

Swearing covers the spectrum, though not super frequent. One f-word in the dub. (I have not seen the sub)
