Notes:Comes in a 5-disc keepcase. All extras in Japanese with English subtitles unless otherwise noted.
Discs 1-2 also available in a 2-disc set "Eden of the East: Series Collection", and have been taken directly from that one, featuring identical discs with original label artwork. Distributor's website ( http://www.madman.com.au/catalogue/view/18704 ) incorrectly lists "Visual commentary on the Eden System with Director Kamiyama" and "Textless songs" as special features for disc 2 but both are absent.
Discs 3-4 also available in a 2-disc set "Eden of the East: The Movie I: The King of Eden + Air Communication", and have been taken directly from that one, featuring identical discs with original label artwork. Chronologically the discs are presented in a wrong order. Cover incorrectly states "Air Communication" having English Dolby Digital 5.1 and Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks in both sets when only Japanese 2.0 audio is present.
Disc 5 also available individually as "Eden of the East: The Movie II: Paradise Lost". -
