[C]-Control Episode 11--And Nothing is Resolved [Final Thoughts]

So. Things pretty much turned out how I expected. Except for Masakaki's troll comment at the end.

[C]-Control Episode 10--Insanity

Mikuni's success in stopping "C" leads to nothing as America bats it back to Japan like it was a fly. A final plan to stop Mikuni and save at least part of the future is put into action as the show sets itself up for the final battle.

[C]-Control Episode 9--After the Storm

"C" heads through Japan and Mikuni manages to protect the present... But is what comes after really worth it?

[C]-Control Episode 8--Burning Paper

Moving quickly away from the slow pace of the last episode, Kimimaro finally makes up his mind and the real danger of the Financial District is revealed. A last major question is presented: Who or what is "C"?

[C]-Control Episode 7--Walking the Same Road

A slower episode this time around as the show re-iterates Mikuni's motivations in the first half and begins exploring the possibility of Mashu and Kimmimaro having a relationship in the second half. This is all well and good, but it's nothing that the show hasn't touched on before.

[C]-Control Episode 6--Possibility

Despite a drop in animation quality in some scenes, this week's episode didn't skimp on plot. The introduction of a rich philanthropist with new ideas about how to survive the Financial District casts some doubt on Mikuni's intentions. Is economic stability worth sacrificing the future?

[C]-Control Episode 4 & 5—Investing in the Future

Building off of episode 3, Kimimaro faces off against one of his teachers, who is in the Financial District for the sake of his family. He suddenly learns the possible cost behind bargaining his “future” in the Financial District and what Mikuni intends to do about it.

[C]-Control Episode 3--Cat's in the Cradle

A slow episode this week as the show builds up some character development by focusing on Kimimaro's father issues and by introducing us to the blond investigator who showed up last week (her name is Jennifer according to MAL). Also, Mikuni has an awesome house.
