| I think that the financial districts purpose is to show people with the need of money something, to give them a message, i mean the people in the real world wouldnt notice anything. "And why wouldnt they do that? I mean everyone saw the inflations?" I am focused on the future and the past changes, example is when a kid dissapears and the mom just turns around and keeps walking. Tbh i only think as i said at the beginning that the financial disctrict is for a few people "each time the machine goes backwards" in the financial district. My personal thoughts, dunno. And i think it was sad because i didnt understand what he got that was precious to him? was it the furure it self? I have no idea, didnt get a clear explanation o that, at least i didnt get it. 7/10 |

| 6/10 so anime depicts economical crisis that happened in the last decade, but instead of doing any kind of serious economical and political insight into it, we get poor excuses for battles I'm convinced that entire story was made just so the 2 of them can fight in last episode and wth was with that kiss, isn't she realization of his future daughter as seen few episodes before its like Marty banging his mom in 1955 |
| disappointed and i hope i will never watch something like this again |

| Nice end. 7/10. Pretty entertaining, but not up to the mark as I thought. I would have preferred a more consistent story. But the art was good, so there is that. I understood what Yoga did at the end. He made yen irrelevant so that the Financial district's Midas money would be irrelevant and hence the crisis would be averted. Dollar replaces yen. Future restored? Dunno whether the sensei is still alive. With this I have completed 2000 episodes of anime. So, that's something. Next I think I will finish Death Parade and Gakkougurashi for some dystopian stuff, continuing along the lines of this anime. One has to deal with games concerning death, the other has to deal with games and death. The fight this episode was quite thrilling. I have got to give credit for that. Even though the plot was predictable, the action sequence was nice. Some anime, huh? |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
Sery said: Because even with the kiss i still think she is his sister. I think the same !! That dream/flashback scene that was shown with the dad naming the daughter "Msyu", the show made it seem like it was Kimimaro's future. But what if it was instead his past. I have two theories: 1. She died irl then was reborn as his fathers asset, going by how Mikuni's asset is his sister. 2. She was his fathers collateral, she couldve been just a few days or months old when he went bankrupt. So there was no way he couldve recognized her as his daughter. Since memories of collaterals are erased no way Kimimaro could have linked anything. And, there were we have the connection why both the father and sons asset looks alike. KurisuBestWaifu said: Now back to the point, my question is: Is the girl at the end really Hanabi, but since she didn't meet him in that supposed world he hesitated to call her out or is she a really similiar girl? Thanks for helping out What I think is that he probably didn't want to bother/disturb her during her work. She is a kindergarten teacher just like she always wanted to be and she looked very happy, thats what he wanted to see the most. And she also probably just missed him (and not forget him like everyone is thinking, maybe) as she was busy looking after the kids and we all know how hard that is. Maybe after the story got cut off, behind the scenes, they caught up with each other and went for a drink together, who knows. ;) |

| A happy ending. In the last scene it appears that Masyu kissed Kimimaro and disappeared, it suddenly shocked me and was about to shed tears. I think Hanabi will marry Kimimaro but my guess is wrong. |
| It was an okay series. 6/10 |
 |
| Better than I expected. That ending felt cut off though, like some scenes are missing. And I cringed so hard when Mashu kissed him when she's supposedly representing his future daughter. No, just... no. |
 |
| Pretentious and garbage. 2/10 |
 |
| I guess everything just ended up in a loop, huh? Pretty vague and bittersweet ending for sure (especially that melancholic last kiss...getting Angel Beats vibes). Oh, and Q has the power of The World! xD P.S. It took me a long time to realize that Q's sleepiness is a reference to Takako's coma P.P.S. If this giant tentacle thing and the "god" are references to central banks then they suggest that these institutions are not very transparent for a casual person, and are hard to understand. Makes sense, probably. |

| Overall, a pretty okay series. It had some good concepts that were unfortunately overwritten by poor writing. The MC is a complete newbie and progresses enough to beat the strongest person in the game in 11 episodes. The world that the story builds is left just vague enough to ensure a coherent story but not enough to answer any actual question. The animation is pretty decent and the CGI is actually good but it is noticeable when they rendered the Midas Bank Avatar (Masakaki ?) in full 3D. In the end it's a very simplified metaphor for the economic state of the world and the assholes that run it. Or at least that's what I think. 5/10 |

Unfortunately the only 'future' they seem to care and understand is children. However our future was indeed destroyed but the Financial Crisis or the 2008. I think ultimately we have to fight and destroy the older generations to get it back. |

| Ending was way too open to be satisfactory, especially since a follow-up appears to be a lost cause at this point. Don't know why everyone thought Kimimaro was a ghost, he's just in an alternate reality where nobody knows him since he pretty much sacrificed his original life. So were the puppet masters aliens? Was it all some kind of test for humanity to move past greed and money dependence? Was the whole world just a simulation? And how did Kimimaro exist in the 1st place? Shouldn't he have disappeared after his dad went "bankrupt", therefore erasing him as his future collateral? (like the Professor's kids) The show had a rough start but grew on me along the way, but still a lot of questions and confusion. And I don't know what the point of the random insertions of 3D characters when 2D would've been easier. 8 dolla dolla bills /10 |

Ending was amazing. That last battle is the best. What really intrigued me a lot is that there was a show of the “Power Above” in the following,
that is 100% him considering he has behind him all these Masakakis. His appearance in front of Kimimaro is rather mystifying considering all his face does not show up. When he has that creepy smile and Kimimaro is on this bed, I started to smell a scheme developing. I wonder if he has anything to do with Kimimaro's dad. One thing for sure is that he knew of Hanabi in the spoiler and many other things as they were going on. This tells me he had a interest in Kimimaro as soon as he entered the financial district. Could it be that his father is a Masakaki that was human before? Could it be that the “Power Above” found what it had been looking for in Kimimaro but his father did not have it? All the questions are intriguing.
The other part was obviously the amazing kiss as follows,
it may be censored but that hug and all showed more than enough for what it was meant to show but yeah the kiss censors were shit at least we know from the looks of here that their lips touched and that Mashu was adorable while kissing from her shy reaction. I loved her smile here but WTF @ the following spoiler why would Mashu suddenly disappear? Anyway I am damn happy for a Kimimaro x Mashu success.
About the battle, the fight was the most amazing of the fights in the whole series and that is damn just. The budget was desirable but it was still a notch up. IMO it went by too fast so I decided to put out some points since I went frame by frame because it was going fast that fight.
About the end, so what does the end of this anime reveal? Well for one as things started to change due to Kimimaro's press reversal, Hanabi saw the light and was later seen here as kindergarten teacher whom the one who died never does die and thus she inspired to be like that person, which is why she became a kindergarten teacher. Jennifer looks very much alive. Masakaki looks to be going very wild at the reversal. The city itself looks so bright was all these effects affecting it. We see thus a Kimimaro that looks to be at peace however things have changed a lot in the spoiler such as everything is being paid by USA money and no more yen but dollar being strong. From the looks of Hanabi's house, well it does not look like she lives there anymore with that family coming out. I also knew in the end that Masakaki would come back to Kimimaro for a payment. What was most precious to me was the picture in the spoiler that gives me such a good reminder.
About miscellaneous stuff, for one this girl in the beginning looks hot. The information guy is creepy as always with his teeth. Looks like C is detectable now? Masakaki's evil smile never stop amazing me at how nasty it is. The Midas money becoming real in the spoiler was pretty nice for a sudden device to start panicking a bit about its effects. Uh oh C is coming again towards Japan. Loved the Mikuni part with his sister in the spoiler especially since at one point she disappears. Do wonder what it means. Jennifer at first looked really insane. I think the symbol for Control is rather intriguing. In the end it was a nice series. 9/10

- First of all nice split screen between Kimimaro/Mashu with Kimimaro's new card. Mikuni's deal ball is much more bigger than Kimimaro's one but not surprised after running the press 2 times already.
The deal start up was terrific
- Find that Mikuni's “White Knight” deployment was nice but find it that Mashu's micro attack in the spoilerwas far more cooler with the mouth opening spewing out fire flares.
- The way Mikuni looked when he was deploying his direct attack in the spoileris quite mesmerizing as the looked like he became another person for a moment.
- Mashu's passing of the White Knight was nice but the best of the best around that part was the 1mm miss that would get Mashu in the spoilerthat is one of the best moves for thrills. Except I find it was repeated too often in this episode. Yet I found it satisfying that it hit the White Knight instead.
- Kimimaro went through a 1 mm dodge of Kimimaro's sword attack Kimimaro unfortunately could not keep up with Mikuni's attacks so Mashu saving him with a flare attack in the spoilerwas amazing! So reminded me of Slayers a little. That created a nice smokescreen for Kimimaro to get away from Mikuni.
Oh man because of that save Mashu got grabbed by the White Knight and it's pretty damn ugly compared to how it looks normally. It was especially ugly when it was sucking out Mashu, which escaped safely.
- Kimimaro summoning George to change assets around was really a nice part because he used a move that fogged up and gave him a copy of himself.
- Again while fighting with Mikuni Kimimaro does the 1mm dodge and this what I meant by being too repetitive.
- Got to say Mikuni's direct attack is flexible enough to strike at one copy while Kimimaro comes at him he initiates another direct attack that bends to strike Kimimaro, thus the flexible extent of the direct attack itself.
- Once again I that ugly sucking face of White Knight. Especially since it rather shocked in a nasty way Kimimaro.
- I kind of find that Mikuni looks damn nice when he charges up his attack but Q herself looks very scary, especially when she open that mouth of hers. As a result I found totally gruesome in the most baddest ways to see Kimimaro being devoured by the cannibalism of Q in the spoilernot only him but the White Knight too but it was more Kimimaro since half his body goes good bye not to mention it was a super charged up version of Q's cannibalism since it was invested in big time and created many creators of it. Unbelievable that the information guy was taking pictures of this.
- Q's symbol of her second Macro looks like one of those chained doors with something terrible behind it like a tentacle monster. What is amazing about it is the power being activated from Q's horns and being able to space freeze in the spoilerunfortunately for Q it fades after sometime and Q's surprise to it was priceless. I am saying it only freezes space because thoughts can still pass around mentally.
- I loved it so much when Mashu was pummeling Q here. That was so epic.
- Splitting back to Kimimaro/Mikuni direct attack fight it got a little strange as it started to be upside down and like all over the place with spinning angles. I still loved when Kimimaro blocked Mukuni's attack and when he did a nice face up with Mikuni.
- My most favorite of that moment is when Mikuni summons instantly his direct attack and when Kimimaro dispels Mikuni's direct attack with his hand in the spoilernow that was amazing!
- Poor Kimimaro getting hit by Mikuni's attack and poor Hanabi with teared up plushy in the spoilershe looks terrible still.
- I find that Mashu's flare attack on Q with the way it was flowing in the spoilerwas so reminding me of Macross. Just replace the flares with missiles.
- However Q's sudden stop and activation was really nice. The horn sparkling that activates her second Macro was great and Q' eyes during the time she does it were scary TBH and so freezes Mashu again. Damn crazy power but I like how it is depicted.
- I did find Q's eyes to be more fearful here as Mashu it talking to Q about Mikuni's sister Takako. The most scariest was in fact Q during that segment with her large bite on Mashu, choke hold and that head wound in the spoilerall of that was rather insane. It got me worried a lot about Mashu.
- In the end the most intriguing thing happened randomly but yet incredibly to Q, she turned into Takako in the spoilerand boy was it sad when Takako was crying, which showed that on one hand assets my be able to turn into their real representation and on the other hand that once they do change, they can show emotions.
- As that happened Mikuni let Kimimaro a opening that he charges in and gets Mikuni really good in the spoilerthat was most amazing even though a little lame but still good. What was better is in fact the Kimimaro punch on Mikuni that was amazing. Well deserved punch. That's what I wanted to point in regards to the fight.
About the end, so what does the end of this anime reveal? Well for one as things started to change due to Kimimaro's press reversal, Hanabi saw the light and was later seen here as kindergarten teacher whom the one who died never does die and thus she inspired to be like that person, which is why she became a kindergarten teacher.

We see thus a Kimimaro that looks to be at peace however things have changed a lot in the spoiler

| @Yumekichi11 This was an amazing post by ur side mate! What an ending! I really dont think to be plausible the way the yen collapsed, and all but to one men... and the spy of course. Anyway the anime maintained some coherence and i respect that though i think it had to take some more time explaining more things, but the basics are there, and also there were no more episodes. Final fight was very good and also with the different approach / black and white etc. Non of the protagonist / antagonist did change their minds which is good. I liked this anime and it makes u think a while on some important things, but it feel a little bit general in the end dont explaining some things. Of course i may over looked that explanations if they were really there. Also, if the antagonist used the rotatory spell twice, how did the future can be so bright ?? @CG U GOT to the pooint of what i really think. I think it has a solid 7, that can turn into a 7.5 but i think an 8 is too much for the anime. @StormViruz, well maybe for the concept we can get an agreement on an 8. |
