[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 11: Heartbreak. Seriously.

HNNGH

I was going to focus a whole lot on the battle between Souichirou and Kimimaro but then Mashu just had to overload the cuteness.

And damn Tatsunoko refuses to show the kiss. (RAEG)

So now I’m not in much of a state to review the rest of the episode properly.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 10: Let it be known that Japan was saved by a troll of legendary proportions

for the lulz

So Japan hasn’t actually been saved yet, but we all know that Kimimaro’s going to beat/neutralize Mikuni and save the country in the end, and it’s all because Masasaki decided to troll the hell out of Mikuni.

Mikuni’s outrage tastes good. It tastes of sweet delicious successful troll.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 09: I’ll take a stock exchange… and BUY IT

"Begin the rousing orchestral backing track!"

Now this is what I wanted from [C].

Stockbrokers gesturing wildly and spouting indecipherable economic lingo as male choirs croon in minor chords.

Sadly, this is probably the first and last time we’ll get to enjoy such legendary potato chip eating stockbroking.

"We can't repel stockbroking of that magnitude!"

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 08: シンガポール wwww

lolwut

Now, I’m not too sure what “currency interest rates” refer to (Currency exchange rates? Foreign banking interest rates?).

But thanks to 2 years of studying economic policies, I’m sure that no matter how screwed up our politics are, our coldly calculative economic planners would never let the economy falter unless the whole SEA region decides to screw with us.

OH SHI-

I like how even when the SEA Financial District goes bankrupt, it’s only Singapore that gets wiped out.

Is that a compliment or an insult, I wonder?

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 07: Much ado about Mashu

"You watch this anime just for me?"

I doubt I can make it through an episode of [C] without some appearance by Mashu now.

This definitely isn’t a good thing.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 06: Jennifer’s Body

Epic lens distortion!

So I know this episode was supposed to give us a little more information on how The Financial District works and the possible implications of using your future as collateral.

But I couldn’t really concentrate with all those loving camera shots of Satou-san’s body.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 05: The Butterfly Effect

Some things have changed since we were last here.

Ebara found himself holding memories of a life he had never lived, and holding no memories at all of the life he has been forced into.

But then again, you didn't think things could get this bad, did you?

Was it really any small wonder that his wife left him? Sure, this wasn’t a direct consequence, but that isn’t going to make Ebara feel any better every morning in an empty, unwashed bed, now will it?

It makes sense that going bankrupt would rob you of your future. Every single dollar of Midas Money you ever spent would have been voided. And most, if not all of life’s decisions are dependent on one’s financial wealth. Even the most miserly of Entrepreneurs would experience some negative effects.

One little mistake in a Duel and everything changes.

But wait! There’s more!

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 04: Horrifying Implications

Hanabi isn't going to be running a baseball team anytime soon.

Now that Moshidora’s out of the way, I can return to blogging [C] on a semi-punctual basis.

And the best part is that [C]’s writing has begun moving into high gear.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 03: Investigations

This is Jennifer Satou.

She is the first and only agent who has been granted access to the alternate dimension.

She is intelligent, inquisitive and implacable.

And she has one hot, sexy body.

If nothing else, I would actually be willing to continue watching [C] just for more Jennifer goodness.

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control 02: An Allegory of US Monetary Policy

Just like Los Angeles in 1992.

Includes obligatory black dude being kept down by The Man.
