Watch the final two episodes and tell me it perfectly fits. it's fits as well as fractale, which is to say it does not fit at all because the show couldn't pace itself.
Watched it already and... what's wrong with it? I don't undrstand why you need to look at this series so serious (Pun intend... er, actually not). It's just a shonen with some original ideas and a bunch of strong sides. Of course, it has some weak points and could be more consistant if series had more episodes to show a relationship between some characters. But then again, it could also make "C" more slow-paced show. I just don't think that's a good idea. Maybe I just got used to these strange noitaminA shows with messed-up stories and see their weak sides as something natural. Heh, I dunno.

Anyway, I'll be glad to have this series in a beatiful artbox on my shelf. If only it had a CD with score as a bonus...

you know that the C stands for capitalism and that the show is trying to say capitalism is evil right. the whole thing with the charity guy, the ending for the series, having entrepreneurs fight each other to bankruptcy, which often times leads to sucide.... any of this ringing any bells. and the sad thing is that it can't even do this right versus eden of the east which is a hell of a lot more veiled and does an infinitely better job of making it's point and it's inner works because it can actually handle a plot and not go OHH PRETTY IDEA ME WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, OH PRETTY IDEA ME....
C is horrible in terms of it's story which is a shame because it could have been really really good.

That's about the size of it. If the show had done ANYTHING but what it did it would have been great.

I thought C was Cthulhu, and he hates poor nations.

I feel this series should have a prequel or sequel, one called: "B: Bush- The Debt of Soul and Possibly Retarded" Laughing

this series problably dropped in raitings and they canceld it... it didn't know its direction and the themes it tried to convey were to great for it ... http://www.amazon.com/Web-Debt-Shocking-Sleight-Trapped/dp/0979560802 read that book instead.
