I will lol hard if next week opens with the old lady entre being super powerful in direct combat.

I did not understand a word of Jennifer's engrish, made me wish I had subs for that.

I really pitied the econ prof when he said his wife left him. The way they said it so matter-of-fact-like and out of nowhere just made me feel sad.

As much as I'm enjoying C, I'm beginning to see the flaws that it has. We're almost half way through the series, and it still feels like they're explaining how everything works more than anything else. There also doesn't seem to be any overall plot. I'm really not sure what they're going to be able to accomplish in the 2nd half of the series.

Building up in the first half/plot in the second is a formula that's been used by many a series (Dennou Coil, Fractale, Eureka 7, Utena, etc.). We'll just have to wait and see if all this exposition delivers in a few episodes or not.

Anyway, it was a pretty good episode. Mikuni's point of view was interesting anyway Now to see what the downside is to this guild (There has to be some reason Koga's facing off against Mikuni in the OP, right?).

the battles are interesting so more was nice, more impact if you understand the importance of the characters battling though. Kimimaro got kinda cocky and lost and realized even small losses can hurt. he has to prove himself to the guild which seems a necessary evil.

i like Mikuni's actions so far, but maybe in later episodes Kimimaro will find a way to destroy the Financial District completely

the Final District seems a good thing as portrait in this episode but actually Mikuni just made the whole Financial District and midas money and deals into positive things for the Japanese economy

the Financial District is a double edge sword it can either be too much rewarding or too much risky

Random battles are totally horrible for me, i don't get while people like it so much. There are some good things in this series but it's definetily not the battles. Though i still hope that in the conclusion there will be something more substantial.

But Q and Mashu are adorable. The powers of Mashu of scorched earth is cool in effects in all so the fights aren't that bad. What is weird is that circle with the deal stuff. It's a mix of pokemon/stocks/casino elements.

And waaattt. It's confirmed for 11 episodes only? I keep seeing 26 episodes at the end credits with noitaminA.

Ah well, I was kinda hoping that it won't be drawn out anyway. This was a pretty interesting episode and I'm sensing Yoga and Mikuni having different ideals/plans regarding the Midas money and maybe even Yoga breaking away from the guild in the future.

good ep
Couple of thoughts

1. That girl that Kimimaro likes is going to not be able to go to the school or whatever it is she got accepted to when he wins the next battle. The way I figure this is that she is suppposed to be Kimi(maro)'s "future". So the more he wins the closer she will be to him, the more he loses the less time she will be with him

2. There is no way Mikuni is a straight up good guy(unless point #5 see below), eventhough right now I kinda like him. I just cannot trust the guy who seems ultra cool and does the dirty work for good type thing. Also he and Kimi were fighting in the OP. IDK though that could be a troll or they just werent thinking about what they were doing/ going to do.

3. Mikuni definately has some sort of ulterior motive or connection when it comes to Kimi (unless piont #5, see below). Something like he killed his dad or something like that. Or he believes that Kimi will be able to help him do something that is bad in the district (which could turn Kimi all emo cause "Mikuni was like a father to me and he betrayed me" BS. That BETTER not happen or its ruining the show

4. Midas money=bad
I believe they mentioned how the suicides and the like have been increasing in the country, this together with the fact that Mikuni's Midas Money has begun to support the country prob means that the more Mikuni invests then the worse the country will get.


#5. Mikuni will die. If hes not going to end up being a bad guy he is dying somewhere in the next 3 episodes.

But IDK its 3AM and im prob overanylyzing. Whatever......

Although a lot of people have admitted that the drawing quality of this show is kind of low, the design of the monsters and the battle scenes in this episode were too childish and embarrassing. (The design of the humanoids was fine.) The director, animation directors (Korean?) and designers of the monsters should be blamed. I cannot understand producers' intention for the show. (Excuse me for my negative opinion but...)

I watched this series with the expectation of it being a very deep and thought-provoking series about economics and finance. I'm staying for the great environment-design (the tarot symbols, and all), the character drama, and the good entertainment that it offers me.

Although I had a skewed perception of the series, it has started to tackle certain aspects of economics such as Keynesian economics with Mikuni's provision of funds to the Japanese central bank.

Nevertheless, as I've argued, the fights are the main problem of the series because aside from the fact that these are derivative, they're essentially present only to add action to the series. If the series was targeted for older audiences, this kind of gimmickry shouldn't have been implemented.

It's still a brilliant series, no doubt.

This is shaping up to be a great anime, perhaps even better than Deadman Wonderland and Ao no Exorcist. Still, though makes me wonder how this is gonna end. The way it keeps it getting darker i wouldn't be surprised if it ends with Mikune going bakrupt and *egasp* committing suicide.

btw I have a feeling the teacher is going to do something crazy...

this anime is about risk/reward trade-off
the greater the reward the greater the risk (and vice versa)
the lower the reward the lower the risk (and vice versa)
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/risk-reward-tradeoff.html

and because of this risk/reward trade-off they have to control the game/deals or their self in order to minimize the risks/dangers and they do that by winning games with few margin of defeat or win

im curious how Kimimaro will break this cycle if he will ever break it later on

Nice one! It is indeed that but the thing is that hell cares for any of that. It is curious more of what the humans will do about it. If there is shit like people losing their jobs, it's easier for Masakaki to recruit people. I think there are conditions for the one who is chosen to partake in the game. There must be something to be chosen in to enter the financial district.
I like you analyzing so I will get into it too.

You mean Hanabi? She does have the guy she goes out with so the first thing that needs to be done is for Kimimaro to beat him big time! So he loses everything. I wonder if it shall happen? We shall see if Kimimaro's action to affect her. If so then I will agree with you on this.

It could be Kimimaro does something stupid or does not accept what Mikuni may be doing at some point and so rebels. I think Mikuni is a good guy due to his past and father. So in no way I can agree with you about him being bad but suspicious is for sure to look up to.

It would be interesting to see if there are going to be any of that. Right now I am more curious if Mikuni is related to Kimimaro's father in some way and it is not revealed yet.

It may not if Mikuni plays his cards right, thus why he wants all control of the financial district because he knows Midas money has infested the real world and like he mentions to break all this would plunge humanity into chaos. It's funny because so people IRL are preventing that from happening but with nano it can. It is far too late to stop nano from being further developed. In fact the same can be said about electrical cars and the oil companies conspiracy to shut down the creators to gain more profit in cars only using their gas. Stuff like that is interesting to relate to this anime.

It's possible but I think not. He will most likely die with his fight against Kimimaro.

4 / 5 - I like the battles actually, not so much in this episode, but in the previous episodes they were done nicely, I thought. I'm mostly watching for the characters and the setting now, the whole plot has sort of diminished things for me. I'm pretty sure I understand the whole risk/reward-"let's not affect reality" thing, but I don't see where it could possibly go ... unless Mikuni really isn't as righteous as he seems.

This show is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. They use the right terminology so obviously the people who created this story or show have a good knowledge of markets and money. I think it's very ingenious, especially the fights that aren't just a power up fighting game but actually relies on principles of financial district.

I think that that girl not obtaining any misfortune is going to be the biggest misfortune for Kimimaro... maybe I'm just trying to hard to read into things.
Either way, it was an extremely entertaining episode

Interesting episode. So I guess "direct" means you're attacking yourself while flations are used for the Assets?
Wow, so even losing a bit can affect you IRL ... the old guy's company went bankrupt, but Mikuni bought them out. What's he doing this all for, anyway? The "guild" is to control the effect of Deals IRL? Interesting ... we'll see what Yoga does then I suppose :P

Something's not sitting right with me about this whole episode! Mikuni isn't letting on about everything. I think he's planning and scheming and it's not going to benefit anyone but him.

The best thing about this show is the attacks during the fights. Reminds me of Persona.

Really? It seemed more like one of those awkward romantic moments. Like he was embarrassed to see such a close up of her lips through the Credit Card or something.

Might have just been me though.

More battles in this episode, which is the best part in C. Kimimaro's first lost affect his future a lot, although he lost only a little.

The professor's future getting worse, I think he maybe end up committing suicide in later episodes.
