Is Eden of the East a good show to watch during an anime party?

So I'm having 5 friends over today and we are supposed to marathon one whole anime series. I've decided for a few of my more fidgety friends to pick a short series. I heard people rave over Eden of the East so I bought it and the movie. I don't have enough time to watch it beforehand but is it a good anime? I don't want my friends to be bored while they watch? Feedback would be appreciated.
