C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control started off with a strong first impression. The first episode was pretty confusing, but that was part of its charm. The next few episodes started to explain what was really going on – what are assets, deals and the mechanics of the Financial District. Unfortunately, that’s where it started to crumble.

There just wasn’t anymore excitement after the first episode. There wasn’t any deeper meaning to everything that you might expect. The few “secrets” that the show tried to hide were pretty dull and nothing compared to what the first episode showed.

C was still interesting, of course, but by comparison, it started off at the top of the mountain and began to roll downwards, getting faster and faster as it reaches the bottom. That was what the final episode felt like. Despite what the ending tried to portray, it felt meaningless to me. It was a poor ending, one that could have been easily salvaged when Masakaki re-appeared, but wasn’t.

Perhaps there will be an extra special episode or OAV series that could tie up the series better, since it was left kinda hanging.

C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control is one of the Spring 2011 anime that caught my attention during its announcement and I have to admit it’s largely because the name is very similar to “Money and Probability” in Bakuman. Of course, the similarity is in the name only but it was enough to get me interested.

The story for C seems to be set in the modern world where a mysterious race of beings that cannot be seen with the naked eyes offers a large sum of money for those who need it with their future used as collateral. The first few minutes is really quite confusing with so many actions going on at once that is never once explained. It will probably take a few episodes before anything really makes sense, but in the mean time the great design, animation and intriguing storyline is enough to hook you in to want to continue watching and find out more.

As far as first impressions go for this season, C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control is sitting at the top right now. It doesn’t hurt that they can summon Anubis for battle and one of the chars reminds me the Mad Hatter.
