Round Table: The Cast of C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control

Unless I am reading it wrong, the picture label for Makino and Tomatsu are swapped.

Would this be like The International (2009)............

I'm glad that anime is slowly producing titles inspired by the real world materials. Being a late night anime, it may not get many audience as prime time slot, but that makes anime awesome creative medium.

Did The International feature people engaged in supernatural battles in another dimension? I don't think so.

*follows link* Ooh! But it did have Clive Owen. The fangirl in me may need to watch that.

If: No moe; no loli; no otaku fetish; no real-world escapism........ it'll die at otakus' doorstep.

True. Perhaps the millions of non-otaku potential viewers can save it?

Man, I hope that this isn't like The International. That movie was a real snooze-fest.

So this is Monopoly: The Anime? With elements of Eden of the East? (Hopefully excluding the horrendously shallow *edit* allegory) And Yu-Gi-Oh?

The million-dollar (lol) question is this: Why is fighting with extra-dimensional battling avatars who run on cash more viable than the methods of financial exchange we have now? Why would you want to essentially play the most expensive Yu-gi-oh game to garner wealth when you could just go on etrade and do the same thing?

Any word on the theme song? If JAM project could give us something decent for Yu-gi-oh GX, they can do it again now, right?

At ~2am? It better be like Conan O'Brien-following.

More like 1 am, but as to your point... While admittedly their ratings have declined drastically over the last year, in the past noitaminA shows have had high enough ratings to rank among the top ten anime in a week, up there with daytime shows. In particular, the director of C previously did Mononoke, which was absurdly popular and sold gobs of DVDs. True, his next venture was Trapeze/Kuuchuu Buranko, which was utterly bizarre and a total bomb, but previews make it seem this is more in the style of Mononoke. It also managed to rank #8 on the "most-anticipated anime" survey that Dengeki ran, and that's a very otaku-oriented site, where none of last season's noitaminA shows managed to break the top 10.

I would not write off C just yet.
