…Specifically, me doubting that Eden of the East would have a great OP…

Well, that was proven wrong. In spades.

It’s very rarely that something reminds me of the Serial Experiments Lain OP, and in a good way as well. The song is actually Falling Down by the rather popular western band Oasis, so the full version is obviously out. But that, combined with the mishmash of various 2D and 3D visuals, not to mention the words splattered throughout the opening sequence, lends an eerie disjointed feeling to the whole opening that I find quite haunting.

Oh, and the ED isn’t bad either:

Using paper cutouts and crumpling as elements for the ED animation shows a level of dedication and style quite beyond the scope of most things this season. While the story it tells isn’t quite memorable, one should be able to fully appreciate the intricacy behind the workings of this sequence. I also liked the song a fair bit.

Well, all that means I’ll probably be having a look into Eden of the East for the time being. At 11 or so episodes, it doesn’t seem like a big time investment either, so I won’t have much to lose compared to the other 26 episode shows this season.
