Interesting battle but I still don't understand the rules of battle and how to use those cards in battle.

Looking forward for the next episode.

Interesting, interesting. I'm really liking the setting so far. Hopefully he'll get some more fighting spirit later on, but not too much that he'll become all arrogant.

It's as he says. Even if you have much money, why can't you just stay average? It applies to real world as well.

Hey Guys... Is C gonna be 26 episodes show? Just have a look on this ending snapshot:

That is just some terrible english, they mean it's the 26th noitaminA series. C should be 11-12 episodes long.


I doubt that as noitaminA has done more than 28 and C in itself takes the position 27 if not 28 beside the noitaminA has 2 cour shows like Nodame Cantabile and Honey & Clover and Tatsunoko Production usually does LONG running shows like Shinseiki Evangelion and Casshern Sins..

This show is awesome, but I can't shake the feeling that this might end up as Fractale. So, y'know, lots of potential, but falls flat on its face later on.

Still a bit disappointing, but I liked this ep more than the first. Mashu is pretty awesome. It was good to not have a lot of Hanabi this episode since she really annoys the heck out of me.

The character designs are still unfortunate. Mashu's design isn't too bad, but.... some of them look like fanart designs.

Ma. Sa. Ka. Ki. Is love. Sakurai Takahiro does a great job voicing him. And Mikuni looks interesting, too.

I find the battles a bit strange, but the show is really gripping.

Way to show extravagance/ Mikuni rides on this.

A nice episode overall. This could be another great anime from noitaminA.
We get to know about the black money concept and the midas bank and the whole financial district more. well the male lead is as cliche as hell, since almost always they tend to be worried about their 'assets'.

That CGi is very annoying. I find that if an anime isn't in 3D, they shouldn't use CG, because mostly it's not a very nice result.

Masakaki. He's gotta be one of my favorite characters this whole season.
don't mind it either and agreed; Masakaki is <3

Interesting episode.
Disappointed with Yoga's character with the whole 'I love being normal' nonsense. I wanted him to be greedy and later on turn evil. I wanted someone like Light here.

I'm no specialist in economy, but I believe that Midas could introduce quite a lot of money without risking inflation.
For one simple reason: the Deals. The health of an economy can be measured by the amount of money flowing between people. What the financial district does is increase that flow to extremes, thus creating a healthy economy, at least within the boundaries of the district.

Really liking this so far, and I have absolutely no problem with neither the CGI nor the regular animation. But then again, I am pretty liberal when it comes to art styles, and rarely dislike an anime for that: hell, I loved the style of both P&S and Madoka Magica, which are in completely opposite poles.

Here's hoping they take at least one episode to show how the District came to be.
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

Well, this was much better than episode 1. Yeah, the animation isn't the best but it's also not all that bad. I mean, it's bad for 2011 standards but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.

The episode was really interesting. I love the concept of the battles - you invest money in each attack and you gain if you hit and lose if you miss. Quite the game hum? Moreover, I really liked Mashyu.

I'm looking forward to more info on the black money. Also, what Mikuni said to Yoga about his father wasn't in the results of the investigation. Was it a wild guess or does he really know something? And why was Yoga forced into the contract? Masasaki said "It's been decided." but that he's not the one who decides. Then who does it? Who's behind the Midas Bank and the Financial District? This anime sure has potential. Hearing it's only 11 episodes makes me a bit sad but as long as they can execute it properly I expect great things.

I insist. This is Shin Megami Tensei with economics.

The story keeps being the strongest point. BGM sounds like Gurren Lagann, I dig that. I'd love to see some backstory in the next episode, and Takahiro Sakurai is godly as always.

Anyway, it's kind of sad and funny that this show about money has

OP & ED are certainly nice. The animations displayed there are awesome.

Back to the episode, it was quite intriguing to see the Black (Midas) and normal money. I wasn't expecting much after seeing the first episode.

Man, I don't understand the industry's obsession with spineless, idealistic leads. He's basically a copy/paste of every shounen lead we've seen in the past. Hopefully, the story makes up for this....

You got to be kidding. The guy has gone through some heavy personal troubles, and instead of shutting-in (in a literal sense), he's studying hard while having 2 part-time jobs and he can't even grab a beer with friends.

The point is that Kimimaro is a bro. ;_;

I wish some other studio would have done this anime instead, so this show wouldn't be full of shitty character designs, animation, and CGI.

And I'm not really liking this show...I guess it's just too different from what I was expecting. Hopefully it gets better..

I Agree with you. He just only wanted to have the average normal life with no weird interruptions. Because of his dad run away problem, he has to earn money himself while studying in university. This is the sort of character he his. Normal kid with normal life...wanna be. lulz If he was the type that would go for everything then went bad ass that would be another story.
BUT
i really enjoyed this episode. More than the last one. But i would've enjoyed it even more if the animation was better, but its not too bad and the story so far is very intriguing.

After ten minutes of episode 2 I was ready to cut my losses and completely ditch this show, but I was compelled to finish the episode because I have no life and had time. The last 10 minutes were much better. We finally got to see some natural developing intrigue and characterization. I hope the show integrates more overarching themes regarding market competition and money with the Financial District over the course of the show.

Still not terribly fond of it, as about 30 out of 45 minutes have been a mess for me, but at least I see some light at the end of the tunnel.

i don't know why everybody keeps complaining about the animation...i'm watching in 720p (on a 1080p monitor) and i think it looks great! in fact, it's one of the reasons i love this show. is it the animation as good as some other recent shows like angel beats? no. but you can't expect every show to have beautiful animation like that. personally, i think the animation style is very well-suited to the show. i agree that the CGI is a little strange sometimes, but i certainly won't be deducting any points for it.

also, the battle BGM rocks!

also also, masakaki is awesome!

If midas money continues to pop out of nowhere, wouldn't that bork up the economy?

INFLATION!


Sorry but isn't that exactly the opposite? Inflation is unstoppable now because all the money we have are issued by a central bank and every dollar or euro or whatever, is being given as a dept with interest to the government. So the government basically borrows money to create money and to pay the debt back since all money are controlled by one institution it has to borrow even more by the same guy it wants to pay(stupid i know) and then even more and the endless circle goes on with inflation rising and rising.
The inflation happens not because more money are pumped to the market but because those money are debt with interest.
So if some anonymous party put money in the market that are not loan to the government and people, then the market will grow free of it's necessity to borrow even more to pay back the debt because now not all money in existence are in the hands of the one big creditor so there are money to give him that he actually doesn't control and don't have to be borrowed money again.


At least according to the Quantity Theory of Money, the money supply has a direct proportional relationship with the Price Levels of the economy, so in this case, if the Midas Bank works like a Central Bank, constantly increasing the money supply, yes, it would cause inflation.

I suppose that board they show in the Financial District with an ever increasing amount of Yens is the amount of Midas Money that is circulating along the standard Yens. If that's the case, since the monetary base is increasing, the price levels should increase too, at least if the amount of Midas Money is a significant proportion of the monetary base. If it represents, for example, 1% of the total it wouldn't have that much of an effect.

Of course, the validity of that theory is questionable, there are lots of critics from other schools, but I guess that's not something to discuss in an anime forum. And since that theory is the "mainstream" theory, I suppose the guy who is doing the script for this anime will assume that theory to be true.

I don't know what to feel about this show. It's pretty messed up by what I have expected. Maybe it's because of the CGI or the typical male lead which I did not entirely hooked up with this series. I'll give more episodes for this.

Shounen battle with black money = summary of this episode.

Hopefully there is some logical explanation behind this. Fractale failed at that completely.

So basically the financial district is a gambling place in a nother world but using real money thats my simple interpretation of it. I'd join the fnancial distrist its just gambling with large amounts basically not life threating if you lose u go bankrupt no real draw backs theats the place when u gamble. Cool anime great episode really shows how some people view the importance of money.

That scorched earth technique was wonderfully done, and the episode was rather interesting. But for the love of God, please stop using that horrible CGI! I don't even know why it's being used half the time. Characters just pop up in CGI form in scenes where they could have easily been animated. There's no rhyme or reason for the sh*t!
