C-Control - The Money and Soul of Possibility: The Complete Series Limited Edition [Blu-ray + DVD]

Kimimaro is a collage scholarship student whose dream is to avoid the rampart unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair caused by a banking financial crisis. One day, he meets a strange man who offers him a chance to many money - fast. Thus he is introduced to the "Financial Distract", a place where a person's future takes physical form and is used to fight others to grasp a better future.

This series as a strange and intriguing premise. Betting your current future to find a better one? Losing a game in the Financial Distract means losing your future... really. The visuals were cool, especially the fight scenes.

But in the end, this series was a little disappointing. Kimimaro is the Average Teenage Boy anime character, and even his unusual circumstances don't make him much more interesting. The mechanics behind the Financial District were never really fleshed out or its background sufficiently explained.

C: Control had potential. But despite not being the coolness it could have been, it was still a decent show. At only 11 episodes long, it is a quick watch. It might be worth watching for the cool animation of The Financial Distract alone.

Japan is saved from financial ruin by The Sovereign Wealth Fund. It's citizens do not live a prosperos life though. The value of the Yen is low and times are hard. Crime, suicide, and despair have taken hold. Kimimaro is a college student that aspires to be a public servant. That's the only thing he can think of to rise above the grip of poverty.

Eventually a financial phenomenon called "C" threatens to destroy the Japanese economy once and for all. There are a few members of the Financial District that think they can gain control of "C" and stop the collapse. Hense the series title "C: Control". But the control of C doesn't guarantee the future will be bright. Kimimaro and Masho must fight to rewrite the events that have set a financial crisis in motion.

This series surprised the heck out of me. I didn't expect a whole lot. Sometimes a gamble pays off. This series illustrates that quite profoundly. I was able to get into many of the characters in this series. They are developed pretty well and are very interesting & colorful. This series has excellent animation, voice acting, and a good soundtrack. There is a lot of action, drama, suspense,and a little bit of romance. This series really has a lot going on as well. The plot races along at a very fast speed. It's easy to miss something if you miss even 1 episode. Overall I really enjoyed C: Control. I would like to see a sequel. It would probably be a bit redundant, but it's a great concept. I don't really think this anime will be continued, but it was left open for more if they really wanted to. Anyway, this anime is really good. I highly recommend it to any anime fan. I hope all of you enjoy it as much as I did.

I loved the concept behind the series. what person would actually give their future away on a bet. Amazing and the character were top knotch
