This is a review on C: The Money of Soul and Possiblity Control which I think is a very underrated anime for the message that this presents. Without spoiling much, this anime shows us how money can affect our lives and how we come to view money today. In this anime, a chosen group of people are able to gain enormous amounts of money by putting their futures as collateral and fight with "Assests" which are a representation of one's future.

Story: 9/10
This anime has an original story that deals with how money is represented in society and what money really is. The pace of this anime reminded me of the well known "Madoka Magica" as clues to what was really happening in the Financial Distric and the scheme of the Starling Guild started to slowly unravel episode by episode. The story of the anime really opens one's eyes to how money can affect one's future if they are not careful and what money really is. The story is very enjoyable although budding romance between the main protaganist and his asset feels very rushed and unncessary. Besides the romance, I truly enjoyed this anime and greatly recommend it.

Art: 8/10
The animation was quite well done and similar to many of the recent anime series that have aired. The fight scenes are pretty flashy and enjoyable as assests duel and the background reminded me of the background in "Black Rock Shooter". The animation also feels very smooth, but nothing spectacular that we havent' seen in recent anime. The art really doesnt take you out of the story, but isnt anything new.

Sound: 8/10
The sound was appropriate for the story with eerie and suspenseful sound in the background. It fits quite well with the scene that is presented and the transition between sounds during scenes are very well done as it smoothly transitions from a fight scene to a new discovery. I think that the sound and voice acting was done pretty well overall.

Character: 8/10
The characters are pretty well done except for a few exceptions. Most of the characters are relatable especially when they reveal their motives later on in the anime. The character development of the main character and his assest as the story progresses was well done as the growth of the characters are pretty clear. You can see the slow growth of the main character as he begins to realize the value of money and what it really is. The other main characters are also relatable as their motives are slowly shown through the anime. My only complaint with the characters are that the side characters really didn't feel important and were just placed there to further the plot with not much development or motives.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed this anime and got the same feel as when I watched "Madoka Magica". I was really sucked into the themes that it presented and changed my perspective of how money works in our society and how important it is. I truly recommend this anime to anyone as it is worth the 4 hours it takes to watch it.

Overall: 9/10
Is money worth your future? How much can your future change even if you are careless with your money just a little? What can you do with money? What is the true value of money? Is money really powerful or is it just powerful because we choose to believe it is? How much influence does money have on our future? These are all questions that are raised and answered as you watch the anime. This really opens your eyes to how money is viewed in society and I highly recommend this anime to anyone who will be dealing with money in the future.

This is the end of my review for C: The Money of Soul and Possiblity Control. I hope you enjoyed reading this review (even though it was super long) and I hope that you will take my advise and choose to dedicate 4 hours to watching this amazing anime.
