Astolfo Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 The Japanese government was rescued from the brink of financial collapse by the Sovereign Wealth Fund. For its citizens, however, life has not improved and unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair are rampant. Kimimaro, raised by his maternal aunt after the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother, is a scholarship student whose only dream is to live a stable, ordinary life. One day he meets a man who offers him a large sum of money if he will allow his "future" to be held as collateral. From then on his fate is radically altered as he's drawn into a mysterious realm known as the Financial District, where he must compete in weekly tournaments called "deals" in order to keep his money and avoid losing his future.So, what do you think?

Dr. Cakey Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 It had an interesting premise, but the second half of the show squandered it and admitted it had no plot and also had even less of an understanding of economics than I do.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I liked the ending and how there really wasn't much of a "good vs bad" stereotypical conflict but rather "two good ideas but one is more effective than the other" Mikuni is probably on my top twenty favorite characters list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguespreader Zombie Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Needed MUCH more than the 11 episodes it was given to flesh out the setting, characters, plot, ideas, everything about it basically. It had an amazingly interesting concept and you can tell by the director's previous works before this and his latter work that he knows what he's doing in the animation industry and it's not that it was devoid of substance or a bad anime, it's just that it didn't work out in the short runtime it was given. It made you want to care about characters you knew nothing about. If it was a 22 episode anime, it would've been amazing. But with the 11 episodes it was given it was just rushed and all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikuni's plan would have completely destroyed Japan. That was, by the way, the best-case scenario, as the end result of Kimimaro's plan would have caused Japan to suffer critical existence failure. Or, to put it more bluntly, his plan was to murder 130 million people. But at least they wouldn't be sad anymore. The only reason that didn't happen was because the writer didn't want it to happen. After that, things go stupider, but then they rolled credits, so it wasn't all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cakey Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Alright, so it was Bad vs Not so bad I still liked the lack of an obvious malignant baddie Only "not so bad" was the antagonist. Because whoever wrote the series composition didn't know how to...think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
