Well that is pretty how much purchasing power you have when you combine a large margin with leverage. I bet that is the power of an Entre whose asset is a bear with beersteins as weapons, or has two assets who are brothers. *sarcastic* Am I the only one who noticed that all the black money is used to buy soft drinks, coffee and alcohols, which are all liquids?

You have to remember that contemporary meaning of netorare is far much more broader. It does however in such cases when hero finds out about his love interest for the hero to feel the raging feelings (rage, jealousy and feeling of lost) that are part of NTR. Hell there are some cases of netorare between mother/son or brother/sister. So its not a must for the heroine to be his for it to turn into NTR. So yes, this anime can be defined as a netorare. (though no one stole anything, ironic isnt it?) as it plays with rage feelings. This anime is a netorare pretty much clear cut as the protoganist experiences all feelings of being NTR'ed on him (despite the fact that she was never his to begin with and never stolen). Now what we need to find if its a true ntr or just simulated one like in KNIM. And serenade, you like orion still have few things to learn about h-tagging. If the protoganist were to steal her away from the other guy (cosnidering its a real relationship) then it would be a netori, not netorare. netori and netorare though similar, are pretty different. If you wnat to know more about netorare (the three types of it etc) then you can try This thread Last edited by Darknemo2000; 2011-04-25 at 01:49. |

Uploader of h-manga and eroge games, usually needs to tag the material uploaded and i call it h-tagging. For all the years I have been an uploader, netorare tag still gives me headache from time to time. (netorare as a term we use today mostly comes from eroge so it comes hand in hand with h-tagging).
its good when companies list it as netorare by themselves upon putting the games one sale. It helpd to understand thejapanese NTR tagging better. Some even bath in NTR glory like Lune Team Bitters (Soredemo etc), usually focusing on netorare games. I have had a few eroge games that had the similar plootline like this one and were tagged as a netorare (in one childhood friend suddenly learns his love interest having a boyfriend and sees them having sex (its an eroge after all) - the game ends depending on the choices player makes - either its fullblown netorare or the netori (if the guy takes his love interest for himself)). So yeah I would say C does indeed match an non-H netorare anime plotline (discovery of the love interest haviung a boyfriend and the unpleasant feelings that follow). However, we still have to see how real that dating is, and if the girl is really a gold-digger. Last edited by Darknemo2000; 2011-04-25 at 13:39. |

I'm sure "talent" plays a role in determining how strong your asset is. Whatever form talent might take in this anime... investing skills, economic prospects, or just sheer force of will? Maybe it's a heart that cares about others - Kimimaro's protective behavior toward his asset is pretty abnormal, according to Msyu. It seems few people really care about their assets as a living being, and are more concerned with how much money they can rake in. |

Good as in they form a mutual trust towards each other, thus be able to deal more effectively. Bad however, would be Kimimaro's unwillingness to see Msyu get hurt (even though she's technically immortal) and might do something reckless to (unneededly) protect her which could potentially jeopardize the deal |

The construction sector is a big risk because privatising the sector can lead to mass buildings, as the products construction companies sell are of course, buildings. And they only sell well if people want somewhere personal to live. The problem is, in supposed "hot districts", speculators often buy up property in order to profit in the future, and property isn't cheap. So most people buy their houses to pay in instalments, or mortgage the original property they own to fund their new property, thinking that the profit they get in the future will cover both their properties in the future. This results to increased lending by banks, prompting government to push up interest rates to prevent their money from being depreciated. The rise in interest rates will also hurt the mortgage (ARMs, Adjustable Rate Mortgages) and loan interest rates, resulting in most people not being able to repay their loans. The banks then take the houses which is the promised collateral, resulting in a foreclosure. But if there is a mass buyout of property, this means a mass foreclosure, meaning which the bank has tons of property in hand to auction off and recover their losses. The effect of this is no-brainer economics - high supply + lagging demand = price fall. And if the demand is stagnant or takes a nosedive, then the price reaches a ridiculous low. The banks, having loaned their money out, are unable to recover them, and thus are forced to declare illiquid. When bank close down, the country's financial strength is hurt because the world market loses confidence in its currency since the banks which closed down took the liquidity and asset strength backing the currency with them, resulting in an economic crisis. Also, black money isn't exactly counterfeit money. It is more of credit or "quantitative easing" because it has dubious assets backing it, rather than counterfeit money, which is just a unsanctioned copy of something that has assets backing it. If the money isn't sanctioned, the people wouldn't be using them.

Nice art work. I assume these are all shows done by Nakamura? I've seen Mononoke and quite liked it (quite different from C), but I'm not familiar with the person on the left. The shot of those two does give that sort of vibe and given the ending sequence I'm not too surprised if this ends up happening. Curious as to how that would even work, though some more explanation is needed on what precisely Assets are as "My Future" seems rather vague. If she's some sort of aspect of him or something then this probably won't end well, though her comment on being a rookie too strikes me as an odd thing to say. The notion that human shaped ones are more powerful seems like a good bet and something that wouldn't surprise me much at all. Thus far this show is pretty interesting. The animation is a bit disappointing and the shift to CG all of a sudden is rather weird though I think it works with Makisaki as it enhances how odd and creepy he is. At the very least, the show has me curious as to where it plans to go with all this and while Kimimaro isn't the most interesting fellow (which may be appropriate given how rather unremarkable he seems to be to others in the show), I'm interested in seeing how he'll end up going along with all this. The general way I'd expect this to go would be for him to fall into the greed and quickly rise up, but then have something happen that makes him realize this is a bad move. Maybe not. I wonder if there will be any sort of explanation for why exactly he was able to do so well, though maybe his future was one filled with potential for greatness and that somehow influences things. Mikuni is also rather interesting in how the second episode has Q pointing out that he started out in a very similar position which makes him a possible path that Kimimaro may take. He'll probably end up as a rival if the opening means anything, though I'd be surprised if he ends up the main obstacle for Kimimaro. I get the impression he's up to something from his words during that little meeting, but what I don't know. Too early to tell with some like Mysu and Q. Mysu seems feisty and Q rather quiet though I get the impression Mikuni cares a lot about her. Wait and see with them. I quite like Makisaki if only by how he's both creepy and amusing to me. I've noticed he quickly diverts away from any attempts by Kimimaro to question either what he is exactly or who precisely is behind this whole system. Is he perhaps an Asset, but a very powerful or special one? I'm enjoying hearing Takahiro Sakurai in a role like this, which is different from what I'm used to hearing from him. Economics isn't my specialty whatsoever and I'm wondering if they'll do anything really meaningful with it or just use it as a placeholder. Wait and see.

Ah, with the rules fixed the potential for battles becomes more interesting.
In particular I like how the two different ways of winning duels result in different strategies for veterans and beginners. Using percentage increase in funds as one of the winning criteria translates into a disadvantage for veterans with lots of money; whereas beginners can cherry tap the opponent once and hide, veterans have to do a lot more to have the same percentage of fund increase. This probably encourages veterans to go for the kill, which is why it's regarded as a rarity for beginners to win. |

Since Assets are embodiments of one's future. Love your asset = Love your future = You are optimistic about what your future holds = You'll have a bright future. Therefore Entres should make out with their Assets for a bright future, regardless of species and gender! |
