A better one would be reboot with more episode and more fleshed out the story. The pacing is too rushed for a mere 11 episode run (im still sad with the Angel battle)
I'm confused on the time thing. So if two people enter the district at the same time from the same location. one of the people leave for 5 minutes then enter the district again then the other person leaves. is the first person who left just on autopilot for the other person, how do the time stopping for someone works?
In this series, your entire future can be quantified into an asset your contemporary self can utilize in the Financial District. If you win a battle in the Financial District, you get more money to spend (either on battles; or in real life). If you lose a battle in the Financial District, there are real life consequences depending on how badly you lost (failing a test vs. your pregnant wife seemingly never being pregnant in the first place vs. whole corporations closing). Depending on who loses, there can be small-scale and wide-scale upsets to reality (entire countries going bankrupt and the people living in poverty, or entire countries ceasing to exist). There is also the continuous threat of [C], which can be thought of as financial collapse in this situation. One way to think about this is that [C] is most likely an allegory for depression, recession, and financial instability. There is just so much that an individual can do to make money (getting a job, etc.). There is just so much that a group can do to make money (agree on policies that cut costs, etc.). There are outside forces much larger than these two groups that exist that may cause their struggles to mean nothing if there is no robust economy for them to strive in. This series explore concepts like agency/free will (is your future determined?), corruption (did the people in people only get to where they are through these battles?), and how best to invest money (whether for the people now vs. the future). Mikuni struggles to protect the present because if [C] were to occur, then there would be no Japan to save. He does this by printing Midas Money, which artificially pumps up the Japanese economy, similar to printing more money which leads to hyperinflation. However, the MC wants to save the future because living in poverty is no state that he wishes for people to live in at all. When the MC wins, he removes all of the Midas Money in circulation in Japan, which makes them vulnerable to [C]. However, we learn that America is backing Japan's economy now, which either suggests an alliance or a take-over -- though, we're led to believe this is okay, since the Japanese are flourishing and not impoverished, which means they still have a future.
@@Kazutoification there’s one thing that’s wrong with this. It’s only when you go bankrupt when you have real life repercussions. As long as you there money there to lose you can lose as much as you want
No. As part of his "assets", their memories as friends were quantified and made into money. He lost that money, so she don't know him. At the end of the series the financial district collapses and everybody gets their futue back, but the part where they knew each other didn't come back, so they end up as strangers basically. Like, he knows that he knew her in the past, but it is not the past of his current self but an alternate past or some bs like that.
