Well ,I quite understand how the series flow and what it tells . Sometimes its a little* complex but not too hard to comprehend it anyway . So , I still stick with my 10/10...though I feel badly sad about it got only 1 more episode left :(

I seriously hoping MIRACLE shall happen that it continues the story , however xD
But that seems....will never...... *SIGH*

Blah blah blah, give me more Mashyu and I'm happy.


^Yep, basically. The plot has been a mess for such a long time now, so that's all I'm interested in. This is a textbook example of an anime with a neat concept and a lot of ambition, yet is an absolute failure in execution. A shame.


And I laughed so hard at the other Masakaki and his line about the super entrepreneurs. "lolJAPAN. WE HAVE DONALD TRUMP."

My what an amazing episode. The plot complicating and action were really great.
And Q and Mashyu were badass <3

Can't wait for the final fight.

Aaahhh...the boobs of the show are gone now. At least George survived, maybe he´ll be helpfull to Yoga.

It seems Mikuni suffers from the "I´m god" syndrom...guess he forgot how he felt when he was powerless back then...

Q!! She's so cool. :O And formidable.

Uhm... Surely it takes more than beating someone who has a lot of money and being given an Asset by a friend to get a Black Card. Bit too convenient, i.e. shitty writing.

Everyone could see this fight coming, but it will become reality just in the final episode :O Anyways, despite I disliked Jennifer, her fight was much of a dramatic one. Her's and Yoga's macros are nothing less than epic!
Although this episode is one of the best till' now, i miss sight on Hanabi... even though she's barely anything more than a wreck to now =\

Yoga's stupidity is appalling. Honestly, Japan is about to be wiped off the face of the planet and you are getting in the way of the one person who is actually stopping this, because you cannot agree with his way of thinking? Obviously, they are going to pull some deus ex machina to make him "right", but he has no way of knowing this is going to happen. I seriously wonder how this guy even made it to university with his complete lack of ability to think. Yes, some people are going to disappear, and the "future" will be damaged. Great, well, based on what he can possibly know right now, everyone is going to disappear right now - there is going to be no future to speak of if Mikuni is stopped.

Msyu &amp; Q really bad ass in this episode, Msyu with her Heated Economy &amp; Q with her Cannibalization. And Mikuni really strong~

Jennifer gives Kimimaro her future (Georges), probably the saddest part in this episode. I hope she still alive =)

Kimimaro suddenly has his own Darkness Card, and the next battle hopefully will be an epic battle~

Looks like it'll be tough for Mashyu to use another macro inflation that soon.

Well, what can I say. Economics and Finance are sombre and down-to-earth disciplines. It's not like science fiction that can have fanciful lasers, time travel and mind-screwing Quantum Physics. Trying to mix magic into it just stretched my willing suspension of disbelief way too much.

In the first episode, I thought well, it's anime, should not be too caught up on logic, the Midas Bank is probably just a metaphor for issues such as people taking on too much debt/ credit, or take it further it can refer to buying long for a futures contract, taking on mortgage when you don't have the capability to pay aka sure it's magic but hey, in terms of context, it's realistic and believable. But then now, we have Mikuni PRINTING Midas Money. TWICE!? It's already bad enough that the Midas Money in itself is 'credit' aka not 'real money' and now you're creating something out of another thing that was created out of virtually nothing. Great Depression, the situation in Zimbabwe - that's what happens when you just keep printing money.

Indeed. And the protagonist is supposed to be a year 2 Economics major.

You didn't miss anything, this was badly strung together plot-wise. They intended to gloss this over with Engrish power up moves, similar to how most shonen battle stories go. But in those stories, the emphasis is on the moves, so they at least attempt to explain it. In C, they don't. And instead of Kanji, they use economic terms the average Japanese ( and English) viewer doesnt know as finishing moves. This is independent of anything real-world economy wise, just a typical move an anime studio would pull. [... ...]

It relies on "cool" terms that involves economics thus the "macroflation" whatever to make it sound/look deep but it's nothing more than a shallow piss on concrete.
This. You guys have very eloquently described my thoughts. In previous episode I decide to take it easy but this episode just pissed me off with how they abused the terms.

i was just shocked by Mysu's macro and the fact that Jennifer gave Georges to Yoga.
I think Jennifer could have won if Q didn't act on her own, but thats just me.

I yawned several times. Like many other critics have said, this turned into your typical battle shounen, trying to be deep but ending up as pretentious. Solid 5, not quite a 4 yet. I'm expecting a stupid battle the next episode and then another asspull.

I don't know why people would link Higashi no Eden with this shit. The whole money concept isn't even similar. Also, at least Higashi no Eden is enjoyable (as well as cute) and doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Sigh.

I don't think it's as bad as some people here make it out to be, it's a little confusing and there are bound to be a few plot holes/unaswered question after the next episode but it's an enteraining watch and I'm looking forward how Yoga is going to save the world from [C] when he beats Mikuni.

I do understand Mikuni's desire to save the "present" (and thus preserve the possibility of a "future") but to sacrifice the "future" (aka opportunities and chances of prosperity) of the very same nation in order to do it is much like an animal eating it's own tail.

I found this episode really interesting , I like the idea they had in trying to cause hyper-inflation to render Midas money worthless

I really liked Satou-san it's a damn shame she was eating by Mikuni's asset ;_;

Kimimaro and Mysu moment was adorable , loved that scene! with the power she demonstrated there , I definitely feel they have a chance at beating Mikuni , I'm excited to see the outcome to that

It's a shame that this series was pretty short ,

Wow what an episode. So much thing that happened.

I didn't expect Takedazaki to help so much. He's really cool, even if he looks and acts totally crazy :D
Hyperinflation huh? That was a good idea to make the midas money more useless.

The fight of Kimimaro was nice, especially the scene with Mashu was so cute. Mashus macro attack was over the top.

Satou-san ;_;
I knew something like this would happen. Q with that cruel Cannibalization attack. Satou gave Georges to Kimimaro. :(

Mikuni doesn't care about anything and isn't aware about what he's doing. How can't he see that it's wrong? I don't get it.

Now the final battle will begin. I'm so excited for that.

Good episode. Didn't disappoint. If the last episode explains everything, I will give this a 8/9, otherwise a 7.

Let's see if they buy back the future.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I hope Sato won't die in reality after being defeated

Also, did Masakaki just turn Kimimaro's card black? Nice move.
