One of my favorite shows from several years back has now found its way to the Tubi TV streaming service with [C]: Control: The Money and Soul of Possibility. The eleven episode series has now shifted its Japanese language with English subtitled streaming.
Check out our review of the series.
Plot Concept: Kimimaro is a hard-working college student, raised by his grandmother after his mother died and his father went mysteriously missing. Working at a mini-mart to eke out a meager existence while completing his studies, one night he is approached by a strange, clown-like man. This man has an offer: receive a near-endless supply of money through loans leveraged against one’s future.
Part of the bargain includes joining other “Entrepreneurs” and battling with animal-like “Assets” to gain money directly tied to their lives. Intrugued, Kimimaro finds himself fighting alongside his Asset, Mshyu, and inadvertently discovers the twisted ties that secretly hold the World’s economy together as well as his own family’s past.
