| I don't understand some of what I just saw, but I liked every minute of it. Finally an anime that doesn't let my mind wander. |
 |
| Definitely one of the better anime this season. The main character was very likable to me in the beginning with his normal aspirations, but I am looking forward how the world of money will corrupt him. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| interesting story. good characters. good voice acting. seems like a win all around. I thought for sure that Minabi was interested in him.... then a boyfriend from a rich family. I'm sure we'll see more. one of the best so far this season. |
 |
| Hands down one of the best animes out for the spring season =O but wow the dude who committed suicide, cant he choose a better way, i cant think of what his body looks like when they find it x___x other than that, love the OP and ED :3 |
| Huh not what I had expected. I was expecting something slightly more realistic like a secret organization behind the workings of the stock market or something. But this is still interesting at least. Let's see where this will go. Totally diggin the OP/ED too. |

| Seems unique, though it seems to have a religious feel to it ... op and ed were really good, art style was also pretty good looking forward to next ep |
 |
| （ ´_ゝ`） It was decent, I guess. Really didn't like the CGI, the red was just painful to look at. |
| Very intriguing first episode. This can end up being very good. Hopefully it will. |
 |
| So basically this is a atm card fight, win and gain money? |
| . |
| It has that weird Eden of the East, like just being chosen? Can't explain it, but I loved that feeling xD The battling aspect isn't really what I expected, but it won't exactly drive me away, can't wait for some more C! Or it's longer name lol |
| You may read this quote , "However, by that point you'll have been torn to pieces." |
| after some serious complaining about this since i've seen those trailers, this turned out to be the "most amazing" i've seen this season so far, and they've redrawn the "sloppy scenes" shown in the trailers that's why it made it a lot better. i'm loving Nakamura Kenji directing and artistic sense already and looks like i will be admiring him same w/ Shaft's Shinbo. ^^ first ep is 10/10 for me ^^ |

| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Hooked already! |
 |
| I still don't understand what was going on in the beginning with the fighting and what not, but the rest of the episode was pretty good. |
 |
| That was surprisingly trippy. |
| seems very interesting. |
 |
| oh and enlightenment for the "battle system" taken from http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2011-04-12/round-table/the-cast-of-c/the-money-of-soul-and-possibility-control Question: Question for Mr. Uchiyama and Ms. Tomatsu: From the materials I got, I can't visualize the battle sequences. You mentioned that there will be action in the show but what will the battle scenes be like? Will they resemble Yu-Gi-Oh!? MC: There aren't any action sequences in the first episode. They will have action scenes in the next episode, though. I assume that the cast members here have read the script and have an idea of what to expect. Please give us some comments based on what you will record today. Uchiyama: Kimimaro, who I play, gives orders to Mashu, which Tomatsu-chan plays. Kimimaro has Mashu launch an attack and fight with an opponent's asset. MC: In other words, in the Financial District, an “Entrepreneur” has the money, and an “Asset” like Mashu is an incarnation of an “Entrepreneur”. Then, the Entrepreneur spends the money and has the asset launch an attack. Whether you win or lose, you get damaged, and you lose money. Uchiyama: If you lose, you go bankrupt. MC: If you lose the game and all of your property, you will be evicted from the Financial District. That's the rule. Tomatsu: You need money for food. MC: Yes, you need it to survive. MC: So you fight and save money, and you will be rich. This cycle repeats itself. Simply put, that is the system. |

| i wasnt sure about this one from the descrp, but whoa sweet seems like it'll be good |
     "If only if only, the woodpecker cried, the bark on the tree was as soft as the sky" || ♪My mind, heart is broken♫ |
| interesting i might be watching one of the best anime this season . |
| Mr. Nakamura does it again. I was completely glued throughout he whole episode. The CG was really jarring and stood out but I guess I"ll get used to it. Other than that, I loved everything about this episode. And Sakurai in another Nakamura series as an eccentric character is awesome. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the series. Hopefully the rest of it doesn't disappoint. |
 |
| The premise is very interesting. Although the best thing I like about the episode was the ED. Just wow, the animation is so colorful and nice to look at. And the song was really good too! Good first episode, I shall be keeping my eye on this. |
| Its such a unique but real story.I mean fuck, we all need money right about now and selling your future (not your soul per-see) for unlimited cash is kind of crazy but doable lol. this feels like a potential classic in the making |
 |
| My most anticipated anime of the season. Like one mentioned here, the trailer had kind of let my expectation down a bit, but thank god, they have improved it just in time. First episode was really good. I really don't mind that Yugi-Oh card battling concept because probably this anime will execute it better. Plus, the concept of the series is really interesting and unique. Definitely, didn't disappoint. Can't wait for episode 2. |
| At first I was like, (╬ ಠ益ಠ) Σ(ﾟ∀´(┗┐ヽ(･∀･ )ﾉ <--- Then I was like In the end, I was ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／ﾔｯﾀｧｰ!! |
| Very interesting. This is probably the only spring show I'll be following. Oh about the ending theme... OMG NEW SFP SONG YESSSSSS! |
| Doesn't look the best but the mystery totally has you wanting more. Hope it has a well written story line and not some con ending. |
| I loooove it so far! 9/10 for first ep. |
| Oh, this anime looks promising.. actually the best first episode yet that I've watched for this season |

Lija-chan said: missdeep said: Ditto.Masakaki was fabulous. That's honestly all my brain absorbed. Clous said: No kid. school food punishment.The theme gives me the eden of the east feel which I dig. It gots that perfect amount of weird in it to keep you interested but not scare you off. Can't wait to get some more. Just the instrumentals playing at the beginning, I already thought her voice will come out and start singing. And she did. This is exactly why I love the Noitamina block. ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING GOOD. Hehe. Concept's pretty awesome and I love the numbers "666." Was totally drawn to Masakaki and Kimimaro's exchange...and I fell head over heels for Masakaki from then on. :'P Can't wait for the next episode, and hoping Tatsunoko delivers another quality episode. ;'] I meant the theme of the show, not the OP. Silly. |
 |
| Was everything I expected this to be, and it didn't really disappoint. I had relatively high expectations for it and while it didn't exceed those, it didn't fall below them either. Looking forward to the next episode. ;O |
     |
| Seems interesting, though there is some part of me that has the feeling that this can turn real cheesy and just end up being a lame story line. |
| That was...........Awesome.....i think. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| so i'm confused... what part of this entire episode gave off a yugioh vibe? other than the word "card" being used, which is an ATM card might i add. not trolling, just seeing the specks of "yugioh" throughout this discussion got me wondering. |
| I love the Fukumoto-tier unimportant side characters. |
| Alright, they fixed the horriblerific animation. Though I still find the art questionable, at best. I bet this'll turn out to be on the top 2-3 of this season. It's too bad the only notable seiyuu is Tomatsu Haruka. I totally approve of both OP/ED though, btw. And I lol'd at the "goat servant". Or whatever he was. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Whoa. My hype for this since the announcement of this show was really paid off by the 1st ep. Everything really caught my eye including the OP and ED. Liked the Pinkhaired Hat guy. Definitely following this. |
| Honestly I almost stopped watching after the first 3 minutes. But they really picked it up and I cant wait for the next ep! Looks like it will be a pretty interesting anime |
| interesting first ep. |
 |
| I love it! Everything was really interesting and weird. Also, Masasaki was awesome in the whole episode and Kimimaro too. Plus, nice OP & ED. |
| It really was amazing, as many others said. The idea is quite original and even though I'm usually not into shows with card game themes, this has catched my interest. Masakaki is truly awesome and kinda creepy, wich does make him seem like Break Xerxes and well, who doesn't love Break? Also, Sakurai Takahiro is voicing him! I hope he has a big role, it would definitely be enjoyable to watch him. |
| Felt like money and intelligence from bakuman iq is important and gained by money here it is like money is important gained by fighting? ^_^ 9/10 |

| That was cool. The taxi drivers were quite cool too. |
| Umm, what? What I expected was more realistic series on money and business, but now it is about superhuman-psychic battle anime? I really don't know if I can buy that. Let's hope it does better in next episode. For now, it is just one big mess. |
| hum...it was so weird and confusing... and somehow a bit creepy. But it definitely is not cliché... i still dunno what i think of it, so im gonna wait for next ep... |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Nice new card game + psychological anime ^ ^ |
 |
ringoo4 said: For now, it is just one big mess. It's only to be expected. We're only 1 episode in and considering what type of story this is, I wouldn't expect a massive amount of information till later in the show. I personally liked the first episode. We have a decent/good protagonist and Nakamura's direction is almost as good as ever. |

| Interesting, to say the least. Probably one of my favourites this season. |
