Enter the world of Yoga Kimimaro. It's Japan, and the economy is going down, real fast. So many people are suffering, and inevitably, people driven by their greed in desperate need of money will give up their future for money. And that's what the financial district is.
A MIDAS financial district is connected to every area's economy. And like anything, nothing's free, even when it comes to "free" money. In order to earn MIDAS money, dealers, can earn millions, even trillions, but it comes at a cost. Every time Midas money enters, the future is lost.
Now add in the antagonist, Mikuni. However, he's not all that evil. He's driven by good intentions, that we need to preserve the present in order for the future. He sees promise in saving "today", unlike Kimimaro, who tries to save the "tomorrow". Now, this is where I was conflicted. It was a good plot, most are bland, and are just like one choice is obviously correct, but here, it was a paradox. Saving today is just as important, right? Without today, there's no tomorrow. But having millions of futures dying is just as bad. SO HOW DO YOU BEAT THIS PARADOX?
Watch the anime. There's your answer. Paradoxes are far more interesting to watch, and the art was ok and unique, not the familiar anime style we're used to. The characters were also pretty cool, considering the assets-(sort of like pokemon in a way) were your futures.
I enjoyed the unique storyline and as an 11 episode anime, it deserves more episodes. Definitely an anime worth checking out!
