▲Set in a financially bankrupt Japan with only the government as a safe employer, ''[C]<ref>Control</ref> - The Money and Soul of Possibility'' is an anime about economics, finances and [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield|beautiful battles]] over money ending in private insolvency of the loser. In exchange for a prospective borrower's future (including his prospects, possibilities, lifespan etc.), an organization known as Midas Bank will take him on as an Entrepreneur and lend him a large, zero-interest sum of money under the condition that he participate in weekly "Deals"--battles over each participant's money using [[Familiar|familiars]] called "Assets"--against other Entrepreneurs on an alternate plane called the Financial District.
College sophomore Kimimaro Yoga is sucked into the whole affair when he is approached by the alarmingly eccentric Masakaki from Midas Bank's Commercial Division, who offers him a loan as they need a new entrepreneur and Kimimaro needs money. Though he refuses, he is more or less coerced into partaking. Kimimaro quickly piques the interest of and is recruited by Souichirou Mikuni, a powerful and exceedingly wealthy--even by Financial District standards--businessman who leads the Starling Guild, a collective that seeks to minimize any effect the Financial District and its "Midas Money" might inflict on the real world's economy.
The series is directed by Kenji Nakamura, whose previous projects, ''[[Mononoke]]'' and ''[[Trapeze]]'', should be enough to tell you that [[Mind Screw]] and mindbogglingly good-looking scenes await those who take this anime on. Broadcasted as part of the [[NoitaminA]] block during the [[Spring 2011 Anime|Spring 2011 season]]. It is produced by [[Tatsunoko Production]].

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: The beings in charge of the Financial Districts put it best:
{{quote|'' {{spoiler|Just what is right and what is wrong...? You seem to be a bit lost on that. There is no correct answer. Everyone is right. Everyone fought to make the world better, and in the end it improved.}}''}}
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' meets ''[[The Inside Job]]'' meets ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' all written by some drunk and LSD-laced stock broker.
** More like ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' meets the stock market. [[Fridge Logic|Oh, great]] more [[Black Box
** ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' meets ''[[Spice and Wolf]]''?
** ''[[Pokémon]]'' with credit cards.
** ''[[Bleach]]'' with the afterlife replaced by economics.
** ''[[Eden of the East]]'' meets ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''.
*** [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|CARDGAMES ON]] [[Fridge Brilliance|ECONOMICS]]! It is actually "money" instead of "economics", but who cares?
** Warren Buffet's ''[[Fate/stay night]]''.
** Stock Market and International Economics...meets [[H.P. Lovecraft]].
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]:
** Masakaki has lavender hair. His Southeast Asian equivalent has turquoise hair.
