General Anime/Manga Discussion Thread (Non-Naruto)

Posts : 811

This is a thread for discussing all things anime/manga that is not Naruto related. Make recommendations, discuss this season's line up, next season's line up, your favorite manga series, etc.

I'll start with a recently completed anime that is one of my favorites this season, [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control.

Synopsis (From wikipedia)

The Japanese government was rescued from the brink of financial collapse by the Sovereign Wealth Fund. For its citizens however life has not improved and unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair are rampant. Kimimaro, raised by his maternal grandmother after the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother, is a scholarship student whose only dream is to live a stable, ordinary life. One day he meets a man who offers him a large sum of money if he will allow his "future" to be held as collateral. From then on his fate is radically altered as he's drawn into a mysterious realm known as "The Financial District", where he must compete in weekly tournaments called "deals" in order to keep his money and avoid losing his future.

Spoiler:

This anime was seriously amazing, and was simulcasted by Funimation, though they were a week behind. It is only 11 episodes long, but very emotional. I hate to say it, but I did tear up a bit at the end. Seriously, if you haven't seen or heard of this, go check it out on Funimation's Youtube channel or go here: http://www.funimation.com/c-control/episodes (Note, their video library only works for US citizens because of freaking Hulu. Though their youtube channel is fine)
