I did not really get anything. Mikini was buying the future? Anybody mind giving a summary please as to what was going on. When did the assets disappear in the end?

Well, since money in their world are like blood or Hit Points, if a district collapses, they all die.

I see. So when mikini was turning the wheel forward, he was investing and when the main char turned the wheel backwards it took away from the system?

No the system still exists in the finale. The system just had a reset so all existing monsters were recycled.

I interpreted it a bit differently. Turning the wheel forward would take future from everyone. If you had little to no future, you disappeared once your future was stolen from the wheel. If you had lots of future, you would simply find yourself in harder times. If a district collapses, it means everyone's future has been sucked dry, which means everything disappears.

When the wheel was reversed, the future stolen from everyone as collateral was given back. Essentially everything was reset to reflect what would have happened without the financial district's influence. The assets didn't die. They were returned to their respective owners.

If you're asking what the anime is all about, I'd probably have to say it mostly deals with not selling your soul. Do what you think is right, and things will work out.

Thanks, both of your explanation makes sense. This is what I was asking.

The theory is right, although we never saw anyone turning the wheel in the collapsed districts or doing the slightest thing to prevent bankrupcy; which means it's all crock. Also it is true that the more money a country has the poorer it gets but disappearing is just very lolish.

We saw no such thing in the finale. Msyu wouldn't say goodbye if she was with Kimimaro in the finale.

She returned to being his daughter or whatever. That's what headswabby probably meant.

Necropost ftw. Anywho this is correct from what I watched. There was a scene where Kimimaro was having a dream that took place in what looked like a hospital. There you see a woman holding a child and asks, I am guessing Kimimaro, what they should name her. He says, "Mashyu". Before or after that scene in another episode he says that he wouldn't mind her being his daughter. Though I feel that she wanted to be more than that judging by her response.

Well, C stands for Crisis I guess in the name of anime.

Think about it from deeper perspective. Ie. what happens to Greece at the moment happened with Singapour in the anime. They got too much money on debt and whole island disappeared.

I liked how inflation/deflation was presented in the anime, money losing it's worth, etc.

As for main question about Msyu/Mashyu hmm did she die? I guess not. She herself said she is just an asset. 2nd thing at the very end Masakaki is still alive and says to Kimimaro that you know where to find me, when you need me (or something). The system is still working in the end.

I regret watching this.

The story was hard to follow, not because it was deep or complicated.. it was because they didn't know what the fuck they were doing when they made it. Things just happened with no rhyme nor reason.

It also has two of the worst things that can be in anime, bad CGI and Japs speaking english.

They spent too much time debating whether they should save the present or the future, when it's a completely irrelevant discussion... they're the same thing.

Lol well it was to complicated for you at the very least. Because saving the present or future are not even close to the same thing in context of this show and many others.

P.S. I don't even like this show, but if you are going to insult it and try to look condescending you have to be right, which you are not. This post was edited by grqt (554834) on 21.03.2013 21:47.

Bad cgi? What the hell were you watching? There is a lot stuff you can critizise in this show but none of your points are valid @Nnavd
