Yeah, this was rushed, but then again, it already was clear that C was too ambitious for Noitamina. At the very least though, it hasn’t followed the same path as Eden of the East: this series has not slowed down, and instead of skipping things, it’s trying to do as much as possible in the [...]

The collapse of the Singapore stock market sends shockwaves around the world. Shockwaves in a very literal sense, called “C”, which travel relatively slowly. For the concept that the title of the show emphasizes, you’d think they’d try to at … Continue reading →

For all of the fruits members of the Financial District might have seen during the course of this series, episode eight of C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control delivers what is perhaps a much needed reminder of the fragility of such economic systems. This fragility is demonstrated by the neighbouring South-East Asian Financial District, which sees its value begin to plummet - a state of

Who ever said money wasn’t everything? Are you guys all enjoying summer? (or winter if you’re like Hato, living flipside) I was out enjoying it a little too much this weekend. Luckily I just discovered a new hangover cure, and it’s called [C]. Dayum, this episode has no mercy. Reality sure is a bitch, and [...]

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 [...]

Now that’s more fucking like it [C]. That was the show I got myself hyped up over pre-season. Shame it [...]

「Confidence（信用）」 (Shinyou) Given the more passive episodes recently, the collapse of the Southeast Asian Financial District was quite an abrupt turn of events.

The pace is starting to pick up, and this was probably one of the best episodes of C so far. There’s lots going on: Kimimaro’s teacher tries to commit suicide, Japan is decaying, something’s going on with Hanabi (the purple … Continue reading →

As I am a fan of character development in a series, I thought that this episode would of had some duels in it, but this episode doesn’t, as this episode is more of a setup episode, in that it deals with the concept of being able to recover no matter how much money one loses. [...]

Okay, so with this episode it’s certain: C does not belong in the Noitamina slot. Its themes of course fit it nicely and all, but 11 episodes is just too little for this series. The proof came in this episode when suddenly from out of nowhere the entire world went to hell. I guess that [...]

Mikuni Soichiro may seem like the model of a smart, confident, modern businessman, but was he always that way?  Apparently not according to the first half of [C]'s seventh episode, which delves into his back story. It turns out that Mikuni started out as your pretty typical teenager, obsessed with music and hoping to make a career as a musician despite the best efforts of his strait-laced

I can’t help but foresee a sorrowful or bittersweet ending for Msyu.  The worst thing she could do was develop a relationship with her Entre, Kimimaro, because there are only two possible endings between the two.  Either Kimimaro loses it all and is banished from the Financial District, never able to see or contact Msyu [...]

I see you baby, shaking that asset ♪ ~ Hey guys, I’ll be taking over coverage of [C] from now on. We’re quite a ways into the series and assuming that it sticks to it’s 11 episode estimate we only have 4 episodes to go! So you might want to refresh your memory of [C] [...]

「Composition （組成）」 (Sosei) This is what I would consider as more of a character reflection episode since nothing really "happened". The first half was basically Mikuni narrating his past.

This episode took a step in the right direction by focusing on Mashu, who has so far not had much of an opportunity for development. The time spent in this episode helped, but she still feels rather bland as a … Continue reading →

As I am a fan of character development in a series, I thought that this episode provided heaps of it, as this episode focuses on Mikuni’s troubled past, and Msyu’s relationship with Kininaro. I kinda busy at the moment so I can’t really provided a great summary of this episode, but I like the drive [...]

I doubt I can make it through an episode of [C] without some appearance by Mashu now. This definitely isn’t a good thing. We get a glimpse into Mikuni’s past, and the things that potentially motivate him. Half of the episode is devoted to it, and approximately half of that is devoted to showing what [...]

Ah, this episode was exactly what this series needed. This was an episode to look back. It took a break from the different battles, and instead gave two characters the chance to play as the narrator, in order to tell a bit more about themselves. In case of Mikuni, it’s about his past, and in [...]
