C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control




Yes, I know, this ain't the time to be watching anime, but what the heck, since the damage's been done, I'll just review it while I'm still in the mood.

C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control was an anime I was skeptical about when I first saw it. I bought this anime for RM20 at Pavilion the other day. I wasn't so sure about whether it'd be nice (since I didn't see it on AnimeSeason or any other anime website), but I liked the drawing and the main characters, so... Yeah~

It only has 11 episodes. So... I kinda finished this in one day. But that'll be between you and I, yes? :P 

Anyways, this anime focuses around the world economy. Lifted from Wikipedia, the Japanese government was on the brink of a financial collapse when the Sovereign Wealth Fund stepped in and got it onto its feet again. However, Japan suffered the side effects: increase of the unemployed, crime, suicide and many others.

On the other hand, Yoga Kimimaro is a 19-year-old college student studying economics. His ideal future is one which he spends with his wife and kids - a normal life. To achieve that, he needs money. And to achieve that, he has to work two part-time jobs (both at grocery stores) and use as little money as possible. That has been his life since he graduated from living with his maternal aunt. His mother passed away and his father disappeared when he was very young so he had to live a very independent life.

That took a very vicious turn when he was approached by a very eccentric-looking guy called Masakaki. He offered Kimimaro an alternative to his current only-option of working two separate jobs at the same time: join them in the Financial District as an Entre (short for Entrepreneur) with their future as a collateral. 

The District was where Entres made Deals at least once a week to earn money. These "Deals" involved the battle between two Entres and the usage of their "Assets". Assets are remodeled after an Entre's future - they can be anything that eventually takes part in that person's future.

So, very much against Kimimaro's will, he had to live like that, fighting Entres at least once every week with his Asset, a red-head with horns atop her head who manipulates the element of fire. 

There are quite a lot of events that occur in this anime. With the help of a few people, one of them a lady who belongs in an organization researching the Financial District, Jennifer Sato, Kimimaro strives to protect the future of Japan and the world.

The concept of this anime is actually really interesting. The plot moves quite quickly too, so the audience won't get too bored with the story line. I just watched this really recently, so you can imagine how fast-paced this anime was :)

It has only 11 episodes after all. 

I thank God the dude ends up liking his Asset instead of that irritating girl in his college. Sheesh, she (Ikuta Hanabi) already has a boyfriend for God's sake. Besides, Mashyu is absolutely adorable :) Teehee.
