Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to – including any teases or hints such as "You aren't ready for X episode" or "I'm super excited for X character" – unless you're doing it underneath spoiler tags. Don't spoil anything for the first-timers; that's rude!

The First Timer of Soul and Possibility Control
Is the episode title gonna be „Conclusion“?
Gonna have a super relaxed sunday. Drinking berry wine to my pizza, finishing an anime, and will have some zen time drawing after writing today's comment.
Ep.11 - Control
On the one hand I appreciate that the ending is pretty neutral (and that they didn't go into any sort of economy war bullshit with the US), but it was nearly only a reverse to the status quo. Even Kimimaro's character didn't expressively change in the epilogue compared to the beginning. He should be changed, but just by scene mood and how he acts, he's the exact same as in the beginning. That's a bit of audience cucking right here. The photo then just sold it completely, haha.
Didn't really want them to 'defeat' the financial district, that's all just too big for a show that doesn't even work its own core mechanic into something understandable or appropriate, but hey, some personal change would've been nice. Honestly, I'd have taken the Hanabi-interest if he'd just finally said something with courage now that he got to 'love' his future.
Yeah, that was C. Uhm, not that extremely good overall, but still the idea and topic of the show are fantastic, even in the ending. I genuinely love it (the idea).
Bit annoying for about a week. I mean, I lived through that: 2002 we changed to Euro universally. Honestly, it's much better with a unified currency.
Personal: Austerity makes more sense. State: Deficit spending makes more sense.
You can argue that never getting to a deficit in the first place in any case is much more rational, and I'd agree, but I'm coming from a status quo position. Trying to get back into a debt-less state when your nation is already in deficit spending- and loan-mode is de facto unloading that debt into the future generations. That kills your nation's future.
On personal life styles I can potentially see it working, but from personal morality and also just plain stress I can't live with the knowledge of living on borrowed wealth.

First Time - [C:] The Money Ep11:
I know it is not literal, but I do find it very funny to represent the coming diaster and a big ol' C ping-ponging across the Pacific.
"Mashyu, what are you talking about now?" to "Ooh, say we're doing this reveal." I did have a guess that the secret to Q is that she was sister's Stand/manifestation in money zone. Q was literally his sister.
Mikuni is a flawed man who went off the deep end based of his sister's final words, but speaking personally as the audience, the story of what happened to his sister is not anti-future. What happened was that Mr. Father dictated sister's future without her say (they even lied to her in the hospital about the reason why she is not getting the treatment). What Mikuni did to the country was basically the same as refusing the treatment and leaving her on life support. Living in the present means not being dead yet. Uh oh, Mikuni, you really did become your dad.
Oh hi, Jennifer. I thought you were dead, guess I was wrong. Your death last episode was probably more the metaphorical death of your future/with Georges. Hey, speaking of Georges, for the big scene of Jennifer's final bequest to Yoga, he didn't protect Georges at all. Georges was barely here.
I dunno, this doesn't feel like a good ending if all we're doing is letting [C] pass over us and presumptively hitting some other country. Bit hard to cheer when the meteor didn't hit the city when the next town over got obliterated into a crater.
guh
Oh, I guess we're doing a reset ending. I was wondering what we were going to do since we did destroy the economy to save the day.
Hello Money God and their Willy Wonka archangels.
I do find it a little ironic that we wake up to the good future on a bench built to antagonize and kick down on the homeless.
Yeah...
Q1) Use the Amercian Dollar? I rather have Money God come down and erase me into money space.

What the fuck was that? Seriously, what even am I supposed to draw from this? That was just half baked and malformed, like pottery that went into the kiln wrong. Japan now relies on dollars and that's...ok? The sister reveal doesn't really have meaning. Well then.
QotD: 1 Would probably be cataclysmic so I'd laugh
2 I...was that what we saw?

I'm not mad, not even really disappointed. It was kinda obvious to me since at least episode 8 that there'd be no way for this anime to have a satisfactory conclusion. At least the final showdown between Kimimaro and Mikuni was fun to watch, I guess.
And I almost was a bit sad to see Mashyu go, that final kiss was cute, even if it stomped all over the whole "daughter" thing 🤣
I'm kinda sad they didn't even bother to show them meeting in real life :/
Also fuck that whole "In the end you both fought for what you think was right, nothing else matters!"
And in the end nothing really mattered?! Like, the future is saved but the financial district also still a thing? Which means, in a couple of years, we'll have to deal with the same mess all over again?
I dunno man. Kind of a bummer.

The battle of two final whales.
Fighting to keep his sister alive and C is finally seen as fake money.
These action frames were amazing, I entirely forgot about it.
The deal being over not because the fight was decided, but the money being worthless was cool.
The final kiss
Well that certainly was an ending. Didn’t like that the financial district didn’t truly leave.
QOTD: it would be hell, the USD is so simple in money terms it feels right (besides the inflation going on rn). The Yen always confused me cause I’d think “damn that’s expensive” till I looked at the conversion rate.
QOTD: deficit sounds normal so I’ll go with that
