First Impression – C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
PEW PEW, ALL ABROAD THE C TRAIN. GET READY FOR SOME OOHS & AAHS~ Kin’yū-gai de Yōkoso!
Kyokai: I can’t say this was my most anticipated title because there’s Steins;Gate, Ao no Exorcist and Deadman Wonderland but I’ve been definitely looking forward to this original anime. Noitamina being one reason; not that I liked Fractale BUT Kuragehime, Shiki, Tatami Galaxy, Nodame Catabile, Honey & Clover and Eden of the East are just the few gems of this timeslot that have been able to enrapture me. Also, I have this thing for original animation; be it Eden of the East or Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin (which left much to be desired), but I love chasing a mystery when there are no cheat codes and solid guess-work. Of course, I would love to read EVERTHING on the official site, which is swanky as hell; reminds me to hire someone who has a handle on translating Japanese to English. :3 I’m joined by few of my teammates in ending thoughts but before that, let’s do a quick recap of what the hell happened.
The psychedelic world of the Financial District
Meet our man of action and a seasoned dealer, Mikune
I have seen all the available trailers so the possibility of an alternate/virtual world was not a big shock to me. In the first few moments in, you already know nothing is as it seems when the unnamed protagonist uses a special credit card to operate an ATM in making a deal. Pro tip, whenever 666 is involved, usually the result is never good and that is what happens when he zips across to the “Financial District” a virtual realm, where he deals with one Mikuni, who simply destroys all chances of a future ‘deal’ breaking his gamble (read destroying his asset). It all happens rather quickly but we at least get to see and observe the world we will be familiarizing ourselves with as a giant and psychedelic place with a prominent signage, counting down the accumulated capital/equity of the district.
Obelisk the Tormentor, I summon thee!
Total PWNAGE
Souichirou Mikuni has a familiar/asset named Q and it seems to be a common thing for all Financial District visitors. Destroying one’s asset seems to finish their points and any chances of further dealing/gambling. The unnamed protagonist gets so upset that he performs suicide and that is when our main protagonist gets under the limelight of the Midas Bank. Losing an entrepreneur means searching for a replacement and as it seems candidates are selected on random basis.
The mundane life of Kimimaro Yoga changes completely from the depressed state of living hand to mouth, working (two jobs) and studying (at Heisei University of Economics) endlessly to support himself without any help from his parents—father disappeared, mother died of illness after which grandmother raised him. Scholarship is what he has and he avoids all social gatherings that stray across spending but after the dubious offer of Masakaki, would everything remain the same?
Masakaki goads and gloats, dangling many promising offers in front of our protagonist, who takes it quite openly without much flinching. You would think the years of hardship made him strong, which is right but he’s still a teenager liking a girl who is someone else’s girlfriend (oh the adolescent trauma!). Seemingly Masakaki is the ‘agent’ with a lot of powers to transport humans from their world to not only Financial District but a parallel world where time is irrelevant. Whatever Kimimaro thinks, he is enrolled as an entrepreneur of Midas Bank when he performs a high transaction finding more than 0.5 million in his bank account.
He is taken to the Financial District with a special pass activation that can only be forwarded by representative of the commercial division of bank(s) residing in the district (it’s still unclear if Midas Bank is only such entity). Of course, like any other ‘credit’ card, you never get it for free but rather Kimimaro’s future becomes collateral for the money lent to him.
Kimimaro’s new friend, Mashu
So, what would you do for money? People sell their souls, assets, belongings just to get some. Not to mention it is the bling that gets most of the stuff done and don’t get me started on the feel-good part of life. Money is important but when you become greedy like that unnamed protagonist, things are handed back to you and in a bad way. Though, it is too early to say much because this is the first episode and Kimimaro has just entered the new domain. How he would meet his asset Mashu, and start dealing is another question altogether for the next episode.
EXTRA CRAZINESS
I got DA BLING~
Welcome to the Platform Nine and Three Quarters
Mikuni: So, what do you think of my new hairstyle? – Q: Let me finish my dinner first *pouts*
Random dude from Hetalia
Kimimaro: Look here, it’s the claw… CLAW! – Hanabi: That’s not even funneh!
- From the spring titles released till now, I can easily say that C has the catchiest music. Both the OP/ED sequences are not only well animated but fit the storyline perfectly. Not to mention, BGM is placed exactly in the right places to give you that over the edge feel during action scenes.
- If you get a shounen feel from the OP, you are right, NICO Touches the Wall has scored some of the good OP/EDs of Naruto Shippuden (“Broken Youth” & “Diver”), while for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood “Hologram”. Their “Matoryoshika” is peppy and fitting for the foolishness capitalism and running only after money induces.
- You already should know school food punishment from their brilliant music for Eden of the East. They have done an amazing job with “RPG” as well, catching the theme of the title properly. Like Hato, I’ve been awaiting sfp’s next album quite eagerly.
- Coming from the director of Mononoke and Kuuchuu Buranko: Kenji Nakamura, be ready for some mind twists and amazing animation. I still have to get used to the character designs but the world in itself? A treat to the eyes with the right colouring and a blend of real and 2/3D.
- Also, I should mention Noboru Takagi, who wrote the script, having completed scripting of Baccano! and series composition of Durarara!! Yeah, I know you are thinking about that Takagi of Ashirogi Muto from Bakuman but it’s not that Money and Intelligence.
- Music is by Iwasaki Taku, the dude behind Gurren Lagann, Kuroshitsuji franchise and Persona to name a few. I’m so looking forward to the OST!
- There’s not a lot of characters that you have to familiarize yourself with. It’s not Durarara!!, but a very strong cast and again, that syncing of characters with seiyuu is what has happened with everyone under the skins of characters. Still, how the first ‘challenge’ was showcased between the assets of the dealer and opponent, new characters should be appearing in the upcoming episodes.
- Kimimaro Yoga – Main protagonist: Voiced by Kouki Uchiyama (Natsuno from Shiki, Ichika from Infinite Stratos)
- Hanabi Ikuta – Kimimaro’s crush: Voiced by Yui Makino (Sakura from Tsubasa Chronicles, Aiko from Bokurano)
- Masakaki – Agent from Midas Bank: Voiced by Takahiro Sakurai (If you don’t know this dude, you are not weeaboo enough, whatcha doin’ here?)
- Souichirou Mikuni – Seasoned Dealer in Financial District – Voiced by Daisuke Hosomi (OMG, who is this hottie? His voice has that OD quality, producers, give him more roles!)
- Q – Mikuni’s asset – Voiced by Saori Gotou (Ai from Sayonara Zetsobu sensei and that should be enough for you)
- Itaneda – The Transporter: Voiced by Yuji Mitsuya (Some old fart)
- Mashu – Kimimaro’s asset – Voiced by Haruka Tomatsu (The moe voice of Lala from Motto-to-Love-ru, Hitei from Katanagatari, etc.)
- Jennifer Satou – Not revealed yet; maybe the her Mikuni had a date with?: Voiced by Mayumi Asano (Blue from Wolf’s Rain and many other supporting characters)
End Thoughts – The Against Team:
Hato: I’ll be honest, I was looking forward to ‘C’. Though the first thing that put me off was the stupid-ass name. Offcially it’s ‘The Money of Soul and Possibility Control’. So why is it shortened to ‘C’? I don’t bloody get it. Just ‘Control’? Probably. After actually watching the show, I didn’t exactly hate it. It’s definitely one of the series that goes around and around in circles with its dialogue and it really seems like the creators take themselves way too seriously. It’s just something I’m not really enjoying.
I mean, look at Masakaki, for gods sake. He looks like Johnny Depp from Alice in Wonderland (and I hated that movie). The creators seem to be trying waaaay too hard to create a character that everyone will know and love (It’s silly, because it will probably work…). I really hate to use this again, but its just so anime. I won’t even get into the art and animation, but let’s just say I don’t like it as of yet.
Now it sounds like I’m ragging on C a lot, but I did actually enjoy it. The premise of the show is pretty damn cool and I’m really interested in how they will hand this. Some of the producers who worked on Eden of the East are helping out and while towards the end of Eden things got a little messy, the show overall was awesome. That’s why I have some hope. The weird counters on their back when they fight is for sure interesting and I wanna see how that one kid effs everything up. Because that generally happens in anime. One kid comes in and just wins at everything. Oh, and my favorite part? That would be the goddamn awesome ED from School Food Punishment. RPG, yeah!
Anaaga: But I didn’t expect it to be this way. I did not expect monsters to be called out of credit cards. So yeah, C did meet my expectation; I want C to surprise me with something new and unique, and it is unique. The problem is, I don’t see anything new in here. In here, people are broke. They need money, so they make contract with the Mad Hatter to fight till death for money. People might go all “Ooooh, this looks interesting and new,” but it’s actually not. Basically the story is about bunch of people fighting till death for their own reasons, and in C, their reason is money. How many anime and manga have this kind of storyline? Lots. And this is where C disappoints me. I want the story to be special and new, but in the end it’s not.
Of course, I do think that C is unique in its own way. The way they fight really reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh or other card games. Probably they were inspired by card games? I don’t care about how they came up with the fighting system, but they did a good job making it special. Using credit cards to fight? How many anime or manga has that? None. The design of the credit card is awesome too. Their “point” system, having the loser’s money taken by the winner, I like that too. Just, their battle system is nice.
But too bad I’m not going to drop this. And funnily, I’ll drop this because of their battle system. Yes, I know I said it’s nice, unique, and all that; but I’m just not into card games. That phase where I was obsessed with battles involved with cards is over. And credit card is still a card. So when I watched the battle, I could’t help but face-palmed myself. I know I’m going to miss something special, which sucks, but I just don’t want to watch something involved with battling with cards.
End Thoughts – The For Team:
Overcooled: Original anime are exciting in the way that everyone is equally in the dark about what happens next. No obnoxious spoilers in forums, just speculation. And I don’t claim to know exactly what is going on here, but I think I like it. It doesn’t make sense to accept money in return for YOUR ENTIRE FUTURE no matter what the amount, because you can be screwed over at any time. The entire money battle system that the Midas Bank uses is still a bit confusing. They use money as MP to power their special attacks? And the more they fight, the more money they get, and the more special abilities they can use?
If they can explain it neatly, it will be quite the original story. As long as things don’t remain as convoluted as they are now. I hope C becomes more than just a cool idea that’s squandered, much like Fractale was. All the potential for greatness is there, it just needs to iron out a few wrinkles and get things on track. Also, more bishounen would be appreciated. I hate it when characters have donuts for lips, it makes me retch. But after all that complaining, I REALLY DO LIKE C, GUYS. It’s one of the spring shows to watch, that’s for sure! :3
Kyokai: Well, truthfully speaking, it’s not Matrix and the centralization on Money is not new as well because we have seen Eden of the East, right? If you haven’t already, run along and watch it now! It’s awesome. Though future as collateral is what intrigues me the most because it’s not set and you never know what would happen unless you have a time machine and don’t even get me started on the possibilities of that. I think I’m saving up all my theories for an editorial on Steins;Gate but that is for later.
I got used to the character designs by the end because they grew on me and please do disregard the nerdy looking ones; pronounced chin and bulging eyes? Not pretty. Though, Masakaki is my favourite. Just look at that pink and purple ensemble and those crazy eyes. He’s the embodiment of Cheshire Cat that made Alice totally nonplussed with his round-robin ways. Also, the whole deal with the assets/demons of the main ‘dealers’ of Financial District because Mikuni can’t possibly be the only one but how come he has multiple ones? Q and that Anubis guy who killed the unnamed protagonist’s demon? Just because he has more ammo/power?
Financial district is too vast, reminds me of OZ from Summer Wars, we’ll just have to see the extent of involvement with this Second Life from reality; a depression facing Japan is quite ideal for this because people are running after money with lack of employment and general social unrest. It’s uniqueness of reality versus virtual along with financial gain is what will drive this anime. The first episode definitely met my expectations and I can only hope that it will continue to do so because hey, Occult Academy started with an awesome first episode but the plot fizzled out before the climax. Will the above seasoned names make this a winner? I sure hope so because we all need some good animu to watch.
Preview: No as such preview except for the episode title on site: “coincidence” and why do I have a feeling that it will shed some light on Kimimaro’s runaway father? Just speculating here. Till next time then, Ja ne~

Oh god, those character designs are HIDEOUS! Plus, I dislike the use of CG unless I, myself found it very sleeck and befitting, sorry guys it didn’t cut it for me.
Although I can’t seem to find anything to like about this episode, I don’t see myself dropping it as well. I’m going to give it another episode and hopefully it will be better…
If that clown was real…. I’m going to have nightmares now. “OTL
The sad fact is I had my expectations from “Money and Intelligence” which was a ‘name’ created in Bakuman. Having that in mind, I was not prepared for the battles, soul possessing credit cards and much more. :\
Hato, I thought you disliked C! D:

Art, animation, writing and pacing were all horrid. Still watching ’cause it might be decent.

You guys haven’t even watched that many anime and you are hating on this? I guess, I’m always open to new ideas and the reason for me to give titles time to evolve rather than giving first verdict on the first episode.

I`m definitely going to be following this one. Awesome ideas, nice art, random-arse battles that make no sense and of course, the mandatory crazy character (although masakaki does scare me a bit o_O How he roped kimimaro in just reminded me of signing a contract with a devil)
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Same here and Masakiki can give Johnny Depp a run for his money in creepiness. xD
POWUH: Metanorn Lover with 209 comments
Has a unique idea but pretty terrible art design. I’ll keep watching it since it going down a interesting route.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I’ll definitely be following that interesting route. ^^
POWUH: Metanorn Regular and Bassun-yo~ with 118 comments
I’m right in between Hato and Kyokai, some bits I really love (potential, setting, premise, creativity, characters, Willy Wonka) but some I went wtf on (cg, derpy/inconsistent artstyle at long shots, Willy Wonka, Yu Gi Oh-ness, ugly NPCs).
Still, I’m fully sold on the premise and while the yu gi-oh aspect was surprising, it’s a good kind of surprise. With the people on tap for the writing etc, it can’t be that bad and I am very excited to see how this develops.
I just hope they fix that stinking quality control.
Oh, and I already ship YogaxHanabi. Fuck that fag rich boyfriend.

I’ll split you half the shares of my comment if you’re willing to relinquish your future to me ξ✿❛‿❛✿ξ
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Lol! Definitely eff that rich bastard because Hanabi needs to be with Kimimaro; though I would like to see how that Mashu angle sets in.
I’m giving this one the benefit of the doubt just because of the stellar staff and that ‘possibility’ that might actually do a 360 degree turn.
POWUH: and Vampire Lover with 11746 comments
I’m gonna be following this for sure. It’s an original idea for an anime story. Boy, what people are willing to give for just a few more bucks. Masakaki looks like a completely sneaky and underhanded character with the way he manipulated Kimimaro like a puppet. I mean, look at his creepy smile. He screams Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.
POWUH: and Yaoi Fangirl~ with 2320 comments
at least hs hair is neater than johny depp’s
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
You gotta get on with the depressions-ridden Japan too when everyone is willing to do almost ‘anything’ for some extra bucks. Masakaki interest me the most and I would look forward to more of his weirdness.
POWUH: 800-899 and Flying Sage with 856 comments
I didn’t really get this first episode. It had a couple of visually stunning scenes, but the way the world works is completely opaque to me.
One thing I really didn’t get was why Yoga doesn’t completely freak out when he discovers a being that can teleport and stop time and so forth. Is this supposed to be OUR world, just hidden parts? Or is this an alternative world, where people know about the Financial District, even if they have never experienced it themselves?
Another thing I didn’t really understand. He signs away his future for an opportunity to go to a kegger? Actually, back up. I don’t understand what signing away his future means.
Anyways, I’ll check out another ep or two before deciding whether this show clicks with me.
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
Yeah, I’m with you on that one. Somewhere under all the confusion, C has a good, interesting story. It’s just been bad at telling that story in a way that makes sense. If they slow down and take their time explaining what the hell is happening, C will be an excellent. I just…hope it does <_< ..Stupid kid traded his future (would could mean ANYTHING) for beer with his ugly friends. -_-
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I think Masakaki didn’t give him much choice in choosing/contracting as he simply transferred the money in his account and caught him while he was getting some of it out from ATM.
I think people don’t know this alternate reality/world exists unless they have that special gate pass/card. Let’s see how this rolls on the second episode.
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
He could have tried to, you know, apologize and give the money back. At least TRY. He shouldn’t have given in to Masakaki’s pushiness. Don’t take money from strangers!
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
im sticking to see more Q at the very least.
the premise does seem interesting and I think it might end up like one of those dueling animes.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Let’s see how many new demons get introduced and what kind of actual battles they have. Seems like Kimimaro and Mashu would be working overtime.
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
You didn’t forget that Haruka Tomatsu was the fish girl in Star Driver, right?
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Lol, I didn’t but Ai’s role was main while fish girl was a supporting role.
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 99 comments
I really liked the first episode. I’m not familiar with a lot of anime screenwriters, but I love Noboru Takagi; his first episodes are always confusing and not incredibly special, but by the time he’s done, the characters are lovable, and it’s hard not to be invested in the plot. This is one of his first works without director Takahiro Omori though, so I’m excited to see where his strengths lie.
Also, that fanart you guys picked is gorgeous. 🙂 And that guide is handy.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
It’s definitely a big step for Takagi to shine and I hope he can do it without Omori too. I’ve kept my skepticism aside for at least two more episodes.
Also, thanks! I’m sharpening my photoshop knives for the site and after seeing some amazing visuals on C’s official site, the first impression deserved a little something extra. ^^
POWUH: iLurker with 7 comments
Not original? Because it’s about money? That’s like saying Star Driver isn’t original because it’s about mecha or Madoka Magica isn’t original because it’s about magical girls. It’s totally missing the point!
As for complaining about card games, what makes the card games in Yu-Gi-Oh bad exactly? That they’re only there to sell you a childrens card game? Would you prefer economics and betting done in a more standard, non-original way ala Kaiji or Spice and Wolf, or to do something original with it like C.
I mean, like, what? Opinions and all that, but the reasons given for not liking it are baffling
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Oooh, I like it when you get angry. xD
I would disagree with most of the negative impressions above as I’m totally abroad the C train and fangirling it like crazy. It’s too early to be skeptical and thus it has at least 8/10 from me for the originality and how every character was introduced.
I liked the original Yu-Gi-Oh and the idea of gambling with future is totally win. I’ll be covering this so no worries for both the sides of the coin. ^^
POWUH: and Yaoi Fangirl~ with 2320 comments
um, sorry for expecting more than some fighting with monsters? and sorry for expecting it to be more different from the rest because of the synopsis and the title?
and nobody here is complaining about Yu-Gi-Oh. saying that the moment where one’s love for it is over is different from hating
POWUH: iLurker with 8 comments
This show is catchy and I like it. But there is some problems: when i showed opening to my anime_hating sister she asked “If this anime is about economics Why there’s a flying goat?” That’s good question, because when you see kung-fu fight with lightsabers and battle pets, and hear lines from financial times… you just feels that something is going wrong.
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
If I had a choice between just plain economics and economics with ‘KUNG-FU LIGHTSABERS’, I think I know which one I would choose.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
With that overlooking mirror effect of seeing creatures/familiars through te circle of card, maybe they are like those dopplers from Fractale? Not seen by the naked eye?
POWUH: Metanorn Regular with 107 comments
Watched it and loved it!
While the characters are not really good looking, their personalities and the plot itself seems pretty interesting.
The whole thing gives me the same feeling as Eden of the East though. There’s this same air of mystery around, plus the ED reminds me of the Eden of the East songs. ^^;
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Character design do need some adjusting to. >.>
You are getting that Eden of the East effect because sfp did the music of that anime and same for the premise of gambling with money through a system. Too early to theorize a lot but I’m so watching this.
POWUH: 1100-1199 and Meta's Evil rice-flour Product with 1137 comments
this looks pretty interesting, and i just love the ed, i have a feeling the strength here is going to be plot, which i am desperately in need of, it’s been a few seasons since i found an anime with a very strong plot
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
You and me both. I desperately need a good plot in C! >.<''
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments
indeed i need good plot that will send the shiver down my spine as it reaches the climax…haven’t found one recently and have hopes on C and Steins Gate

ahhhh Thank you <3 I only tried animefreak and watchanimeon before
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
I was watching anime at animefreak before, but they’re pretty slow on updates. Then, I found this page, and it’s going really well so far. ^^ I’m glad it was helpful!
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
Me likeeeeey :3
The potential this anime has is amazing. And also – main hero voiced by Uchiyama Kouki? HELL YES. I just love that newbie!!!!! <3
O’tanoshimi da waaa~ :3
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Deshou~ And Kouki is sure getting a lot of roles and I hope his lisping voice can do justice to Kimimaro. :3
POWUH: Meta Resident and Metanorn's Hime-chan~ with 1758 comments
It can! I believe in him! *fiery eyes*
I don’t know why, but I just love Kouki! <3
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
He’s definitely become adorable and very soon too! xD
POWUH: Occasional (51-75) with 58 comments
I’m a bit disappointed, I thought the storyline would be more impressive and crazier. Selling your future for money seems so normal. But I liked the first episode enough to keep watching.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Not at par with the crazy except for Masakaki. I can only hope for better.
POWUH: Meta Team and PreCure Mastah with 9203 comments
Credit cards and monster battles with money! AWESOME <3
Great production on this show so far, even thou the character designs look sort of funky for this series they just look out of place. However I think that will quickly fade as I watch more episodes, anyone else think Masakaki is kind of like Kyubey? only it's banks instead of magical girls hahaha.
Fun show will have to follow this one.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Masakaki is the bomb. So evil and so good. It’s interesting how the bad characters are the always the most interesting ones.
POWUH: Lovely-pyon~ with 305 comments
Masakaki was love at first sight. Even if this anime goes downhill, he will always be a reason not to drop it 😀 Not that I think it will though~
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Same here! More love for Takahiro Sakurai. <333
POWUH: Novice (36-50) with 48 comments
They must have good marketing people of convincing noitaminA to air this show in their slot. That or the story will pick up and blow our minds away and we will forget about the derpy characters (but not Masakaki)
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
C could very easily selfdestruct the way it’s going on, but I hope they get a proper hold on the plot by episode 2 or 3 so that doesn’t happen. It can’t be as bad as Fractale, right?
