Story: Kimimaro is a college student who works part-time on top of classes to try and save up money for his future. Masakaki, an employee from the mysterious Financial District gives him a chance to make money in that sort of alternate world, where one's future and potential is used as collateral in "deals", which are essentially battles between two "entrepreneurs". I liked the financial/economic ties, but they were ultimately unnecessary and quite superficial. The impact of the deals and huge influx of money from the Financial District isn't really seen or mentioned until the last few episodes.
Art: Over all, the art wasn't anything special. It never went wonky or anything like that, but it didn't play with any new concepts or exceed my expectations for the average anime, either. The 3D animation occurred at strange times and seemed fairly inconsistent. Masakaki and Msyu switched often between 2D and 3D, which was strange. Some Assets were 2D while others were 3D.
Sound: No complaints. Everything was clear. The OP/EP didn't seem out of place, nor did they seem to fit perfectly, but at least the OP was catchy.
Character: Not so good. Kimimaro is a protagonist that most people will appreciate because he is very average in many facets, but he does a lot of cute things too. At the same time, he is a pretty flat character. There's nothing especially interesting about him that sets him apart from other protagonists in other animes. The supporting characters were also flat and boring, most notably the love interest, Hanabi. I didn't even know that Kimimaro was interested in her until the very end.
Enjoyment: Because this was a short series, it's good for a weekend or a marathon night. It's not especially interesting or engaging, but it's not too boring, either. The unique aspects may pique others' interests in ways that it didn't for me.
