If I even wanted to describe this series from the first episode, I could not. So, shamelessly copied from AniDB:

Description: The Japanese government was rescued from the brink of financial collapse by the Sovereign Wealth Fund. For its citizens, however, life has not improved, and unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair are rampant. Kimimaro, raised by his maternal grandmother after the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother, is a scholarship student whose only dream is to avoid all this and live a stable life. One day, however, he meets a man who offers him a large sum of money if he'll agree to pay it back. From then on his fate is radically altered as he's drawn into a mysterious area known as "The Financial District."

Genres: Dystopia, psychedelic combat, Seinen, contemporary fantasy

I have no idea what happened before the OP, none of it made sense. It's just numbers going up and down, seemingly arbitrarily (since the one guy was losing most of the time), and then they pulled out laser swords. The one guy seemed to have a dedicated money demon, but he didn't use her, he used some Umineko-esque Anubis dude instead.

Then we get to the hilarious OP. Biased much? They show the Yen, backed by construction (ha!) and shipping (export-dependent economies are so great...). Last they show the Euro, backed economic cooperation (but really Germany and France holding all the others up) and guys huddled over accounting workbooks. But in the middle of these two, they show the US dollar. It's backed exclusively by war (even a GWB cameo!) and people in rice fields with conical hats. I get the war bit...but what are they implying with the rice paddy workers? Slave labor? They do know that the US is still one of the largest manufacturers in the world, don't they?

The rest of it was pretty mundane, saving most of the stuff with the protagonist for next time apparently. His demon girl looks cute though.

As a Naruto-"fan", this is incredibly weird seeing a "Kimimaro" as the main character, lol

I was completely confused during the whole episode. But unlike Stein's Gate... this series left wanting to see the next episode to find what is going on.

Huh? I didn't find the first episode to be confusing at all. Same with the second. This is a pretty interesting series so far.

[gg] - Episode 3 (http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=210104)

Too lazy to make a post, i'll just paste what i said in the irc channel


<@Ryllharu> arch, if C is shit, make a post.
<@Arkangel> Nah
<@Ryllharu> so I shouldn't bother with episode 3?
<@Arkangel> Probably not
<@Arkangel> They explain a lil bit of what was in that image
<@Arkangel> But only a tad
<@Arkangel> Then we get daddy issues, engrish and some "organization" drivel for the rest of the 20 minutes
<@Arkangel> And the animation is still shit
<@Arkangel> They keep pulling out bad CGI at random intervals
<@Arkangel> The premiss is interesting but they're doing a terrible job of presenting it to the audience
<@Arkangel> It's just... bad

its my fave serie in this season, no matter what the storyline looks like very original to me.

You mean the premise right? Because the storyline is pretty standard shounen.

yea, the main character looks pretty plain but the assets, rules and the that bank fact are extraordinary for standard shounen.

In the end he still made out with his possible daughter...

Well the whole thing wasn't so bad, like a pokemon meets yu-gi-oh meets fate/stay night kind of deal... only with ECONOMICS

It's the kind of show you marathon on a cold winter week. You would'nt hate yourself for watching it, nor have the time of your life, but at least you'd have had something to watch.
