The 11-episode anime series [C] CONTROL - The Money and Soul of Possibility has arrived on Crunchyroll and TubiTV, complete with English dub and subtitle options. Produced by Tatsunoko Production, the series plunges viewers into a dystopian Japan where economic collapse is rampant, and a young economics student is drawn into a shadowy financial district where individuals wield supernatural powers fueled by money.
[C] CONTROL explores the dark side of capitalism, presenting a world where financial transactions manifest as high-stakes battles. The protagonist, Kimimaro Yoga, discovers he can enter the "Financial District," a surreal realm where participants engage in "Asset Wars." Winning these battles grants immense wealth and power, but failure results in the loss of one's own future and assets, a grim twist on the concept of economic risk.
Despite its unique premise and mature themes, the series only achieved a 7.14 rating on MyAnimeList. However, for viewers interested in a philosophical take on economics intertwined with supernatural action and a tightly-plotted, self-contained narrative, the complete 11-episode run offers a compelling binge.
