Worst shit, in a while.
Generic whimp main, cardgames, extremely bad animation and incoherent story. Seriously?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Souchirou is the main character's father.

Still waiting until/if it picks up.

I'm pretty torn with this anime so far. I like the premise (also dat intro), but the whole moneyyugiohlifepoint duel stuff is really corny to me. The main character's eyes look weird to me as well. :/

Protagonists are Cowardly-Shiro and Tsundere-Bitch-Saber. Didn't expect to see those guys again so soon. Shame they lost the only traits that made them even remotely tolerable as characters.

There are a lot of reasons for me to drop this, but I'm going to keep watching this just because I love Q.

the battles in this anime really remind me of yu-gi-oh, but i like that concept somehow, kinda old-school... animation could've been better, but it's not the worst i've seen.
it's interesting so far, i'm curious about this mikuni guy ^^

I thought it was another entertaining episode.
I wonder if that girl will join the district at some point and Yoga will have to defeat her, ultimately driving him to go after the guy in charge o the whole thing, wanting to break the system.

Huh, another interesting episode. I'm guessing you name your price for the attack, and you reap in the rewards if you win? He wins his battle (obviously) and is the first since Mikuni to do it ... Q is his Asset. Even though Mushu (or w/e) claims to be a noob she definitely knows what's going on ...
The whole "black" money thing is pretty interesting. Also Masakaki is really awesome lol XD He's so funny :P
Looks like Q and Mushu had some sort of connection at the end? ;O Also that girl is watching them ... hmm ...

A rather amusing comparison I've found.

"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

Is the animation/CGI for this show really so bad? I don't mind it.

More information on the District. Things are continuing to interest me.

Ah, Masakaki. He's gotta be one of my favorite characters this whole season. "My, my, my, my, my..." Mikuni and Yoga seem pretty similar in looks to me. I wonder if there's anything behind that? Their assets also look a lot alike, too.

Looking forward to the next episode!


I think the CGI is supposed to be a little wonky. Pretty sure its on purpose because the devil's character is supposed to be laughable... I think...

It was pretty awesome. I personally thought animation quality wasn't anything to be ashamed about, plus the little side bars that pop in during Asset dialogue is a very unique concept. It adds to the atmosphere quite a bit.

Pleasantly good series for this series. *cough* Unlike Denpa Onna, which is just weird. *cough*

Am I the only one who thought Mikuni was voiced by Koyasu Takehito.

He and Hosomi Daisuke (seiyuu for Mikuni) have almost identical voices.


Tought so to... However, it was missing something to sound like Takehito Koyasu entierly.

Nice, this keeps on being weird enough. There's something I don't like about the main character - he's good, serious and stuff, that's what I like about him, but still I feel like he's playing kind of more stupid, than he really is(well, yeah strange stuffs happen to him now, but still...) =\ Let's hope he'll start acting better.

Eww the character that Sakurai Takahiro voices looks so horrible, made of CGI like that. D:

Interesting twist, that the primarily villain and the main char have a common thread. And it seems the Assets have a history, too, since it looked like they had a moment of recognition.

The question is: why is the Midas money being incorporated into the real world? What purpose would that give anyone, if it doesn't do anything? (Or was that a lie by villain guy?) Still a little unclear what all the money stuff actually has to do with everything.

this anime feels a LOT like eden of the east. their both around 11 episodes, and both have a lot to do with "reality" (minus the district ofcourse)
only difference is that the main character was already a full bad@$$ at the beginning, this guy has to work his way to that.

This ep was alright. Epic battle was okay, the action part of this series looks to have a lot of potential. And yea, I'm bothered how they randomly switch from CG to hand drawings. Also, the backgrounds had a lot of thought put into how they looked and it's an awesome concept, but I feel that if they put just a tiny amount more care into the animation it would look a ton better.

So far, the CG stuff seems to fit in well with the animation style. Yes, you can tell it is CG, but it is not jaring and if anything, it makes the fantasy world look more un-real, which is a plus since it is a world "without time".

I really hate it when the main character "just wants a normal life" (that line is used WAY too much in anime), so I really Liked it when Sōichirō Mikuni called Kimimaro a coward for thinking that way.
He's earned some brownie points for that.
I like Hentai, you like real life.
Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me.
