[C] The Money of Soul and Possiblilty Control Episode 11

Shadow clone no jutsu!

Japan is in chaos with millions of citizens demanding to have a currency exchange as the yen is now worth nothing and stores will only accept dollars. Elsewhere, an intense battle has begun...

That is so freaking creepy.

Mikuni obviously has the advantage having several assets at his command whilst Kimimaro only has 2 in his possession. The battle scenes are executed rather nicely with some interesting angles here and there, and apparently, Kimimaro learned how to clone himself in battle at some point. Whilst Mikuni and Kimimaro face off, elsewhere, Msyu attempts to talk some senses into Q during their fight. Q continues to scare the crap out of me from wearing her usual emotionless poker face to suddenly going all cannibal on Msyu. I never noticed it up until Msyu points this out, but Q actually looks like Mikuni's younger sister...with green hair. Evemtually,, Kimimaro manages to defeat Mikuni and the world becomes all colorful with rainbows and butterflies and Mikuni sees the error of his ways...kinda...

I was thoroughly confused in this scene.

I'm glad she's alive and all, but that creeper laugh was uncalled for.

*Sparkly*

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

Once the battle is over, these sparkly orbs of happiness spread all over Japan and return the lost "futures" to the citizens who initially lost them due to Mikuni's rash actions. These scenes were incredibly pretty and colorful, and I was pretty happy that Hanabi regained her future as well. (Though, at first, I thought she was gonna die) Masakaki does another one of his happy dances, Takedazaki is most likely going to continue his job as an information broker in a different Financial District, and everyone's happy. In some other twisted dimension, Kimimaro is shown on his bed speaking to an unknown figure and coming face-to-face with Masakaki's other multi-colored siblings. I was kind of lost during this scene, but I'm guessing that the glowing dude was some kind of angel.

It's happy dance time! :D

They've come for you.

Is that so? :/

Suddenly - MATH

After the end credits, an epilouge featuring the "new" Japan that Kimimaro created is  shown. The yen is now obselete and everyone is using dollars. Hanabi was able to live her dream as a teacher, much to Kimimaro's (and my) relief. I was pretty upset that Msyu didn't reunite with Kimimaro in this "new" Japan", but I heard that episode 12 (possibly a bonus episode) is in the works, the there's still a chance of seeing these to meet up again (either that, or it's another one of those "in-between the timeline" stories like the Angel Beats! ova).
This episode gets:

Final Verdict:
A series highly recommended for the intellectual and for those who crave a more mature, action-packed series. I thoroughly enjoyed this show and I loved how the main protagonist is actually a college student for once instead of another naive high schooler. The animation is well-done and pretty consistent with a few glitches here and there. I even picked some new "money terms" along the way, and despite its short length, the episodes didn't really feel too rushed and the ending actually had a proper conclusion.  Here's hoping that FUNimation gives it a solid dub. It's final score is:

1/2

Actually, Mikuni's the only one smiling, so I don't think you're the odd one out.
