[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility of Really Long Titles Series Review

...I remember writing a blog post about this...didn't I...didn't I?! (oh and just to let you know if you search up the words "fucking job hunt" in google under the blogs category Elbow to the Face...is the number one hit WE DID IT YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)



I USED THIS PICTURE I REMEMBER

Yea remember I wrote about how it was so great and symbolic and blah blah blah...was it so shitty that it committed suicide? Well anyways you guys aren't gonna believe this but I did finish the series so I guess I'll combined both articles (oh if you thought the first one was shitty...)

So it's kinda like Digimon except the battles involve gambling where if you lose all your money...you lose all your future (just like real life =D)...that is all you need to know

Initially I thought this series was about the economy and how desperate people we're for money...I was since proven wrong (yes again...) this is about the authors struggle with money not in the literal sense so much as the philosophical sense. I found this happened after first year university too, you begin to only think about money, the very habit that you despised as a child in the adults that surrounded you is now becoming yours, and you know very well that you're falling into that same trap yet you can't pull yourself out because if you don't think about this stuff how are you going to live in the future, and thus begins the dechildification...life sucks...after all you don't want to be that 60 year old working as the convenience store cashier that you see all the time, or that grumpy old bus driver that you can't help but feel sorry for because you know exactly why he's in a crap mood, and following these thoughts the world begins to look a little more grim....either that or he really liked Digimon...

U Mad?
So at times this anime was painful to watch, not because of the horrible memories it brings up more because it has endless episodes of just talking, the arts kinda weird at some places (lets just say their will never be a doujin about this if thats what you we're looking for Infinite Stratos would be the better option....oh so much better T_T), but certain episodes do really catch your attention and you find that half hour is gone before you even realized it. It's kinda like watching the Biggest Loser in that you want to stop watching but you can't because if you don't make a fucking blog post about it your blog will fall to C and you will lose your future...I mean because it's so captivating....

By the last three episodes it gets really confusing, everything just kind of collapses in on itself and there is no real bad guy (which I guess is the sign of a good anime), and you start to question the actions of every character cause really....there is no good way to handle financial crisis except by causing another financial crisis...apparently

I guess looking back on it the anime wasn't that good like I initially thought but it was interesting and meaningful to say the least unlike Infinite Stratos XD, the best thing about it is I could never really tell where the plot was going and that was always my biggest problem with anime so it succeeded in that way at least, and if need be: it would make a pretty good video game or card game series NOT based off the anime

(Nows a good time to mention does Gilbert Gottfried remind anybody else of Tobi from Naruto?!)

After watching the last episode you find the anime was both remarkable yet unremarkable, worth while yet not worth while, and so in short it was average and I hope to God they don't make a second season, the title should have bee called [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility of Not Giving a Shit After the Third Episode

Did you ever wish you could sometimes freeze frame a moment in your day, look at it and say "this is not my life"?,
