REVIEW: Trillion Game Anime Streaming Review

I tried giving this a watch when it first came out but between the awkward animation and just watching way to many seasonal animes I ended up dropping it.

I've said my piece in the Worst Anime forum about why the "billionaires shouldn't exist" line is an empty moral argument to base Trillion Game on -- both because it makes a judgement that simply earning a billion dollars is harmful when it is just being rewarded for doing something society deems that valuable, as well as the fact Haru is clearly not like IRL billionaires who actually work to propel their ideas into something society values and are thus rewarded for it. He's a grifter like in The Sting and he's scamming bigger corporations to get there rather than taking an idea and running with it as far as it can go.

But Cormack mentions Haru wants to be a trillionaire -- that's in yen not in dollars it should be noted. They want to be on the Forbes Billionaire List, and 1T yen is only $10B. That's important context.

it would behoove you to actually read up on harsh criticisms of wealth and capitalism rather than parrot talking points you heard from apologists. You don't need to read Marx, but at least read something that makes you question your beliefs.

Oh I've read plenty of anti-capitalist criticisms -- including Marx himself -- but they don't hold up to how capitalism has evolved over the last two centuries and the impact its had in improving the lives of billions of people.

As well as the fact that billionaires only get there in a capitalist society because they're selling what people want to buy, and you just need to look at who is on the billionaires list to see what they provide and it makes sense how they got there. They earned it and we as a society have rewarded them for it.

And in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather have a capitalist society than a socialist one where you have an even smaller group of elites or the ones preceding both where wealth was tied even tighter to circumstances of birth and noble prestige.
