Masakaki looks like an interesting guy.Why do I always get attracted to this type of anime guys?Mysterious, kinda evil yet absolutely fascinating and charming..

To the main point, the series is very original and promising.The art ,though, could be better. Now I don't know if this is anything like Yugioh, but you can only find out if you keep watching. And that's what I'll do!

It gots that perfect amount of weird in it to keep you interested but not scare you off. Can't wait to get some more.


I think the same here. This anime is weird enough, to keep me watching it.

"For me(money), it is the very thing that connects me to this world. It, and nothing else. Really, this is true for everyone; but there are few who realize it."

And now this is my favorite "C" phrase to now

the truth

anyway the main character is a realistic guy minus what the whole show is about.
but the one thing i hate is how fricken stupid he looks with his clothes, i know he's poor and all but pink and purple?? purple shoes?!!?

I had a similar reaction,

The fact that the opening and ending are sung by two bands that have only sung for 2-3 animes, and that I LOVE them, almost automatically makes me like it.

Interesting so far. Will continue to watch.

I watched this today :)

And whoever compared this to Yugi-Oh: at least in episode 1 the dialogues are more mature (sometimes I want to hit my head against something when seeing some dialogues in so-called children/teenager cartoons or anime).

I loved the "come into my turf, says the spider to the fly" scene XD The one between Masakaki and Kimimaro - it was.just.too.good.

The BGM reminds me a bit of... Persona PS2 game.

Like thought this is one epic Anime, It just started this epic how must the rest be! I love how they use the number 666 in their game! Really great concept I'll be looking forward to the next couple of episodes!

On first glance a direct 9/10!

That was kind of weird, but quite interesting. 3.5/5 I thought it would be more like Higashi no Eden (which is absolutely adore) but it isn't. The mood, atmosphere and pacing are completely different which kind of threw me off. The first episode is okay so far but I'm not loving it yet. It kind of feels like Accel World + Summer Wars + Kamisama no Memochou.

OMG Sakurai Takahiro voices Masakaki! I KNEW IT!

Good first episode. Was close to drop when the pin code happened to be 666... too cheesy. The following fighting sequence wasn't that good either.
But glad I didn't. Turns out I feel an affinity with the MC. He'll probably find out that concentrating on not troubling anyone isn't worth the while.
Finally a show that has decent english-speaking VAs, and not your average painful engRish
Let's see how it develops from here.

For the moment, 2 points of reflexion :
Will he get the gril in the end ? Is money a relationship changer ? Is she in it for the money ? (whore...) My guess is yes.
What happened to his father (and mother) ? Probably disappeared in this other world too.

I really like it so far. It's weird at the beginning because you don't know what's happening, but know it got a little bit clearer. I also think it's the first time I began to watch an anime where the plot resolves around money.

Sad that there's so much truth behind it. Cash is king.

Characters are also very interesting especially Masakaki :D
Kimimaro also got this black card and entered this other world. I'm so curious what will happen next.

PS: OP and ED are nice :)

Well the show is visually interesting and I curious of how this money world works. Also surprised they made it that the girl already has a boyfriend. Thought the mc wouldint notice her feelings instead it seems to be the other way around.

I was really surprised when the girl told him that her boyfriend is waiting for her when he asked her out to dinner. DAMN??????

I was like, I thought you liked him??? But ofcourse it's about that doe, dat cash. I feel bad for him.

This anime thus far is really good. I'm going to enjoy this re-watch. It's been over 2 years since I first saw it. : )

Both the OP and ED are so cool. Also, the animation and art in this are the best. Shaft can suck it. Their animation is nothing compared to this.

Some parts were real funny, while some were serious. The introduction scene was done brilliantly. Also, I would definitely like to see more of the plot that is unfolding.

Doesn't it suck when your crush pushes her boobs against someone else?
The MC is quite relatable. Actually, his worldview is the same as mine mostly.

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.

Economics... I'm loving this anime.

As your position changes, so does your perception of its value. Money Is a curious thing. Dealing With it is like a game of chance, a game that I personally have tied to the real world as well. Everyone's a player. Very few people actually realize what's going on, the rest are completely clueless. Even among people who've spent time in this world, few of them truly understand the concept. 


I wanna pass so I've got to study. Practical learning is more important, college classes bore me.

Takahiro Sakurai (Kusuriuri) brought back - win. Funny "Midas" logo.

So, the first guy jumped under the train because he traded his future for money, thus sealing his fate? Or was he just depressed after losing? By the way looks like he was a card thief lol.

Some first person perspectives during dialogues were nice. But what kind of econ student is confused by the word entrepreneur?? Kimimaro is not the best student, it seems.

I hope the show won't be pretentious with its themes. The story will probably be episodic or divided into arcs, just like Nakamura's previous works.
