----------------------------------------
Excellent episode! Much more fights! Good choice since I love them. The first one was WTF @ the big gun as follows,

that was quite original while at the same time done before. Regardless loved it!

Kimimaro was so mean not giving to Mashu any noodle. You jerk! She is your asset. I would feed my asset every day especially a beauty like Mashu except mines would be in the angel form.

The old man is game over but the guy's asset WTF @ that keyhole and big key. Rather insane. Well this episode definitively thumbs up for its battles and action. I also liked the cafeteria in the Financial District.

C is definitely shaping up to be one of the best this season. So Jennifer's sekret organizationz thinks midas money is a bad thing. I wonder how they'll attempt to deal the guild though. If anything, I kind of agree with Mikuni's thinking. It's better to live in a dirty peaceful world than a clean world with nothing to eat. If you can't stop the system, might as well use it to your advantage.

Had to strain a bit to understand some of that blonde lady's engrish, the guy doing her boss was still spot on with his though, he's damn good. The abundance of deals in this episode was a good mixup from the usual of only one or two. Wonder if we'll get some more lengthy ones in the future to show off some of the strategies the MC is trying to work out.

This show just gets more and more interesting. One thought that came to mind, about assets eating I noticed miyu had had no experience consuming food yet is able do you think she can taste it of is it just something to eat and was the other guys asset eating midus money? Oh and at the end WTF WAS THAT? At first i thought insect then crab or maybe a crayfish then it struck me it' s a GIANT TOOTHED VAGINA?!

But he brought her some afterwards, just as he said he would. ;)

Hah, I know! I was reading along with the subtitles at moderate volume, then all the kanji appeared up and they kept talking and I'm going, "What? Oh, she's speaking English..." *Turns up volume to understand*

Yoga joining the Guild came as no surprise. We don't really have a "villain" yet, unless you consider black money a villain. I want to know who Masakaki works for, or whoever it was that created the District. Speaking of that guy, he didn't appear at all this episode.

C is definitely one of the best series this season. I thought it was just bankruptcy that changes reality. I would be so paranoid after every loss to find out what changed. Kimimaro was cg'd a little bit during his fight which was new, though i can definitely tell they are trying to cut back on the cg. I can't help but think Mikuni will someone end up being the bad guy. I mean what sort of huge change of reality would him going bankrupt have? Could end up being a whole he turns on the guild but the guild can't stop him because if they do the world would end.

I'm starting to like this show more and more. I was kind of disappointed at first because I had very high expectations because I loved Nakamura Kenji's previous anime, Mononoke and Kuuchuu Buranko, though that being said I did also quite like it at first too, just not as much as my expectations, but now I think it is definitely shaping up to be a great anime. I'm quite liking some of the characters as well.

C is shaping up to be a great show for the season. Actions appear near the beginning, ending with of course, Yoga joining the guild.

And we know that even losing money, your reality can be affected by just even a small amount.

The lady's engrish sounds very odd... it's too hard to understand sometimes...

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.

Something I'd really like, would be if Kimimaro mans up and decides to just crush all his deal opponents. It'd be more fun that way. Make an impact on reality, make shit flip out.

Also, there was no noticeable horribad CGI in this episode ‿‿

That's what I thought as well. Felt more like one of those "Oh please, not this shit again."-moments than him just being mean.

I really lol'd at that Deal when the Asset girl turned into a gun and his Entre pulled the trigger. ^^

Glad to see some more Deals from others and from Yoga and with the rules I read on the forums on how these Deals work, I understood it much better.
So losing really has some side effects to reality depending on how much you lost.
From Yoga failing his subject to that geezer getting on a big debt on his company.
And Mikuni really has some good intentions although using some other ways to achieve it.
Kinda like Emiya Kiritsugu. He even sounds a bit like Koyama Rikiya, Kiritsugu's seiyuu, though he's not. I really thought that he was Rikiya at first.
Yoga's stepping up a bit now. This show is getting better and better. Love it.

Lol at Yoga's enemy at the end. WTF! Dunno who looks worse, the Asset or the Entre ^^

Every time that woman start speaking Engrish I need to rewind the video six times. Three times because I didn't hear anything she said because I was laughing too hard, and another three times to finally understand what the hell she's saying, lol.

It seems the battles are turning more outrageous with the asset girl turning into a giant gun and the half-slimey crab asset at the end. Good stuff.

The show is actually a battle series more than it is economic. If anyone noticed the terms utilized in this episode 'dead man's trigger' and 'great wall' are anything but financial in origin. The fights are highly enjoyable, but it is not a battle series.

I elaborated here as to why I think it's directed more for younger audiences than older ones.

So, if they don't care about what happends in real life, they can technically go on a losing streak until they win the last needed battle. Though, why they would do that, is beyond me.

So every time he loses, something bad happens to him or people who are close to him. This time it was failing for a class, but who knows what could happen if he loses again, or a much larger amount for that matter. Kimimaro joining the guild was no surprise indeed.

If Masyu doesn't even know what food is, then why would she be able to eat it? Oh well... =P

Very interesting episode!

mmm, when going bankrupt(or losing much) anything gained in the real world, directly or undirectly, by using midas money vanish or go wrong? (not sure the failing the test was related to the loss or was only an accident)
so mikuni says to minimize the losses, to minimize the effects
but would be the safest way(for oneself) to just don't use those money? if they didn't use them, even when they may happen to lose, there would be no effect on the real world?

or if losing only leads to random misfortune(not related to the midas used), then what effect does midas money should have when used?

the thing of buing bonds with midas looks a nice way to make an entire nation vanish if mikuni loses :
also the thing of gaining control over the district may be a nice idea if one is sure that control will be always used for the current aim, but i guess there will be a turn once they'll gain actual controll over it

LOLZ at the Engrish. I enjoyed the battles immensely.. and I like how more and more is being revealed/discussed about the economics of this world and the financial district.

I also like how he gave ramen to his asset.

I really like Mikuni & Q's relationship.

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.

Also, did Yoga use a Direct against the asset? I thought Direct could only be used against your actual opponent...

Are you serious ? With this episode the foundations of the plot are almost laid out, episode 06 will probably be the last "slow" episode, then shit gets real from episode 07 onwards

C is probably the best anime this season simply because it's the only one to always deliver week after week thanks to its fantastic direction, thematic goodness and great character-development.

This week, I especially loved the "Rather than seeing people starve in a clean world, I'd rather choose peace in a dirty one." sentence (it's almost Churchill-esque). A damn good way to characterize capitalism. Well, the whole conversation between Mikuni and Kimimaro was awesome.

Hm, it's interesting so far. I think that joining the guild might've been a reckless move. He's still relatively new to try and plan out a Deal like that since you really can't control things like that until you have experience. Eh. I dunno. xD I look forward to next week's episode though. o u o

This anime seems to be like that of To Aru Majutsu no Index, in which there is a much bigger picture within the plot, than the anime leads to be. This anime has to go beyond 11 episodes if that's the case.

I mean hell, you're talking about the Japanese economy, even the world economy being strongly affected by a supernatural "Financial District". That much in itself is HUGE, as we also how one fight affects the "future" of not just the individual but up to a multitude of people.

I LOVE the complexity behind this (not to mention is deals with money), but for it to have a good plot line, it can't be rushed too much, which happens quite often in 11-13 ep animes. I hope there's more, i.e. 2nd season.
