Sup guys

Would you please suggest some really good anime for me to watch about a main characters rise to wealth. Something about capitalism and corruption. Weather its about rise to power and wealth on some scarface vibes to it or it could be corporate, something similar to the wolf of wall street or even there will be blood.

C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control

It's the first thing that comes to mind, and probably closest to what you describe, though almost certainly not what you'd expect (in a bad way).

Since you mention US movies, there is Wall Street too.

It's not really about financial investments but the main antagonist of Speed Grapher is a lot about this dark world of the money. The series shows Japan, once it has completely rotten unde rmoney. (warning: a lot of people will tell you to never watch this thing)

There is an adaptation of Sanctuary but i don't know how much of the manga it adapts, i saw some pics and the art is far from the photorealistic drawings of Ikegami Ryoichi.

Try Gungrave, tho its more of a mob story than anything about capitalism#

I also recommend starting from episode 2, cause I think the first episode was targeted at the people who played the game and already know the story and it contains spoilers.

Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

Not sure about wealth, but I'd recommend The Twelve Kingdoms.

Love Live School Idol Project is a great seinen anime about a group of girls who rise to fame and power through the high supply and demand of school idols.

Wrong board, by the way.

kingdom (but the manga is better. mc wants to become the greatest general of all time, and he is a peasent at the beginning + the king has no power at all at the beginning and tries to become powerfull, while the prime minster wants to become the king)
opening
