I believe there will be a second season! >8U

What's confusing is the ending. Kimimaro becomes ghost-like and he's unable to make contact with live people is what I'm getting the message? That just sounds a bit unfortunate, but this isn't exactly a closure to one of the most hard-worked anime to be only 11 episodes. I mean seriously, every ep I downloaded is nearly 500 MB or even more because of the animation qualities (yes, I like HD 720p).

Anyway, I believe that there's a slight possibility there could be a second season. It's hard to say what story can follow this, but the Financial District is immortal, and Masakaki offers his services to Kimimaro for the later future. That's what I think.

I rate this anime a 9/10, since it's really good, but there are some faults.

So Kimimaro is now stuck outside of Past, Present and Future and Mikuni went....god knows where. Well, that was a rather...unexpected ending :o

On the plus side though, the battle between Mikuni and Kimimaro/Q and Mashu was awesome :D

Overall Score (ep): 5/5
Overall Score (series): 10/10

A very original concept with very bad pacing. I really wanted to enjoy this anime more since I love the concept and the art(CGI was horrible) but sadly they went so slow then had to go flying to get to the end in the short amount of time. But I really did like the ending a bitter sweet feeling that he was able to save the country but destroyed the world he once knew. The ending also gives me hope of some kind of sequel with the market being immortal hopefully they fix the pacing if so this can become a great series but without it it's just good.

Well we got a nice action scene.

Why didn't they do this shit before? Have talking and thought during action scenes so we don't have empty action and boring talk.

Then we get some weird shit. THEY PULLED AN EVANGELION ON US

And the ending, I assume we can interpret as everyone has infinite future, sort of like Yumekui Merry's shitty anime filler ending moral.

It's not like Kimimaro has no future. He and everyone else, still have futures. He just has to choose for himself.

Pacing is off once again.

And the entire thing just went really in circles. It's as if the creators didn't know what to do with this setting and concept. At the end, it was very underwhelming.

"Let's throw in some random shit and hope people like it" --> Sorry but they ain't SHAFT.

8/10 still. At least we got some flashy scenes.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

first, why they censored the kiss scene?=_= what´s wrong in showing their lips? that was so not fair. Stupid censoring.

Second...does anyone can explain me the end? because i dont think i understood it.
So Kimimaro is what now? i loved the way everyone was happy and all the pinky bubbles but Kimimaro, what happened to his future? Does nobody can see him at all?

Anyway, good show overall;)

The ending was nice IMO but yeah somethings were left unanswered and i do hope for an OVA or something to clear that up. (Hoping for a 2nd season)

I liked this anime and I give this an overall 8/10 because of the interesting concept, the execution was good but with only 11 eps not everything can be done at the right pace so yeah the pacing at the end was kinda off and could have been better.

PS. I TOTALLY ship Msyu x Kimimaro :3

There needs to be better understanding of this of how he became a ghost. I can't find anywhere that says so..

Oh and btw, this ending is similar to another anime, like The Big O. This anime and that have the same directors, and yet the ending seems so similar. They both somehow reset everything to what it was at the beginning, but just with slight changes.

I was expecting more but anyway, I guess this will do although it could have been better.

This show was one of my highly anticipated show this season but with the plot itself, the pacing was kinda off due to the series length.

and left a lot of questions that made the viewers interpret what's happening in the show in various ways.

I don't know if who's to blame for some flaws of the show,

but Nakamura here was fine with me although I prefer his Mononoke and Kuchuu Buranko for his artistic direction.

Takagi Noboru did well with the script but as to the series composition, I'm not sure about that.

Looking forward for more of their works.

Overall, this series was did entertain me for some reason even with the flaws in it

and my credits goes to the interesting concept which I greatly admire.

So ok, Kimimaro is now ghost-like but i think, and just based on Masakaki offering him business for later, that his "future" or wherever is just waitting to fit in the new future?

Or maybe Mysu true form as a human would brought him back?

Because even with the kiss i still think she is his sister.

Overall i loved this show, i knew itll gonna let me waitting for more since it was just 11 episodes, and i really want and ova or special, not so much a 2nd season.

Way too confusing and not enough closure to finish the series.
Pulled off some random stop midway during the battle. This is where I was thrown off guard.
However, the series did have a good run.

Final score: 8/10.

the action was good and it was interesting but still..... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? there's too many QUESTIONS?

what happened to Mikuni and his sister?
who was Msyu? was she Hanabi? what about Hanabi?
so Japan uses dollars now but Masakaki is still around? did Kimimaro lose his future?
what really happened to his father?

seems just WAY TOO RUSHED. it really needed a 2nd season to fully delve into everything. hopefully it gets one....

theres a difference between subtlety and obscurism. This anime does the latter as the ending had quite a few logic holes. One observation i noticed however

in weird heaven like state they reached, the Future value formulas turned into FV=PV (1+i). Not quite sure what the subtle change means. I get the feeling its noitanima trolling me but i could be wrong.

Not quite sure what to think of the ending, and the series as a whole but it was definetly entertaining and despite being a shounen it avoided most if not all of the usual shounen pitfalls .(i hate shounen)

Seriously, the show was just full of " wtf?!"

So Mikuni wants to save the present at the cost of the future... but then everyone starts to disappear in the present and has shitty lives.

Maro wants to save the future at, god knows, what cost (someone please explain) and everyone is saved, but Mashu (Maro's supposed future) disappears.

Isn't that just the opposite of what they wanted to accomplish???

Anyways, at least the show got one thing right. Economies of the world are run by doings of a hidden world. "C" is analogous to private central banks around the world in which the share holders dictate policy and enrich themselves with fiat monopoly money. Collapsing economies are brought down due to bad policy that people know little about and even less say in the matters.

I thought this show would reflect on the economic situation of the world today and perhaps be somewhat critical of money systems. Instead I got a bunch of Pokemon styled fighting and little insight on economy and money systems. I kind of felt misled. But the last kiss scene made up for some of my dismay.

OVERALL: 6/10

Hhhhmmmmm not sure what to make of this ending. C completely avoiding Japan was pretty bullshit. I'm glad they tacked in the epilogue though cause I was nerdraging at the "happy" ending they were trying to pull off. Disappointed that Mikuni kind of ended up being that typical selfish villain out to save his family or what not. So in the end, Kimimaro saves the future... at the expense of his own? Does this guy even exist anymore or has he just faded away into some obscure entity living between futures? What of Mikuni? Has he been wiped out of existence? Or does he exist in this new future? I guess they were trying to leave it as an open end but there were just so many plotholes to contend with. Great concept but pretty poor execution. I guess I'll leave it at a 8/10.

At least it was a better ending than what I had anticipated and they left the door open for a continuation.

I Think that he exists just that the future has changed one in which he doesn't know Hanabi(and though it may of seemed like he was invisible.) he actually just left when the screen paneled over to the Teachers kid & back to the street (he left, wasn't invisible.) The last episode leaves to with a lot of unanswered questions... Which may or may not lead to a season 2(Doubtful.)

So essentially... I give it an 8 & a 9 if they decide to continue the series. :p

At the end of the day, C was a good action anime that tried and failed to be so much more. It did a lousy job of explaining itself, and as a result, there wasn't really a side for the audience to cheer for. None of the entities felt particularly right or wrong. So the ending really didn't seem to be anything more than "protagonist won, therefore good end".

I kind of get the impression that C is similar to Eden of the East, where it tried to present a strong message about the state of Japanese economics (as opposed to Eden which was about Japanese politics), and just didn't do a very good job of doing so. Maybe even world economics. Regardless, the results were unfortunately underwhelming.

That was a really shitty ending. This anime was going for a sad end, one way or another, I knew that from when things started disappearing after people lost deals. He saved Japan but he lost Msyu and any connections with people in the present or the Future for the sake of everyone else. And WTF is with the Financial District still being there. From what I saw it was destroyed. There might be a season 2, based on the god like guy, and the mystery of who Msyu is and Kimimaro's dad. Idk, but I give this series a 7/10.

Yoga didn't become a ghost or an invisible entity, for god's sake are you all guys really paying attention to the anime?

The kid didn't see him just for the obvious reason he left already and the caretaker didn't notice him because it was not Hanabi, notice that he tried to call her but then he notice that it wasn't her. "Upon seeing the caregiver that looks like the girl your really fond of.." - Masakaki said it himself.

Masakaki also said that the Financial District is open anytime for people who have great futures and was sort of trying to invite Yoga again, I mean how can he invite Yoga if he is an invisible dude. Common sense guys.

Anyways 8-9/10 to the series, we all want our questions to be answered but we must take into consideration that this anime is only 11 episodes, bless us if they tried to make an OVA for a better [C]onclusion. IMO, they should have made the anime 2-3 episodes, that should have made a drastic change in the entire series, because in every episode of [C] contains a lot in it. If you miss a single one, you dont know what will happened.

Lesson learn: When Takagi Noboru makes the plot and progress expect the "Oh the ending was good but then it's not that satisfying" feeling.

Assets are the Entres future. Q was Mikuni's future, somehow. Why Q was the only one to realize who she was is beyond me, though. It makes me angry about all sorts of other unanswered questions I have in my head. Like Georges - they made a big deal about Georges being the blonde woman's future, but we have no idea what the future is. They just made it seem like we should care about it because she did, or something like that.

most confusing episode since the last episode of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
HAHAHA! Phantom wasn't so much confusing as it left questions, though. [C] kind of did the same thing with its ending, but at least Phantom was more straightforward with everything else. Anyways, this whole show was just plain confusing for me since the half way point hit.

I have no idea what to think of this ending. It felt very underwhelming and left no satisfaction. So that guy with all the Masakaki clones is... God? What happened to Mashyu, Kimimaru, Mikuni, Q, and the blonde woman whose name I can never remember? Too much information crammed into to few episodes. It's like Fractale all over again. 6/10 from me.
