I found an anime on tvtropes that appealed to me because it is about finance and how government debt ruins the world.

In it a normal college student gets an offer from a demon to become a day trader with loans that he gives his future as collateral for. The animation is absolutely amazing. The plot is confusing so far though (episode 1)
 
  • Informative
  • Feels
Reactions: Army Burger, Derbydollar, ATM and 3 others
Episode 2 was good. The way that day trading was portrayed as being a battle between mechas and lolis was good. The way that quantitative easing was portrayed as demonic looking money being given to traders (which was only visible to them) was an interesting way of portraying it. The protagonist is fairly boring though
 
Episode 3
Parental angst and focus on a potential tritagonist.
I felt like this episode wasn't of as high quality than the others but it had a lot of exposition
 
I liked how they randomly used compound interest formulas in the opening to make it look cool

I don't understand why they showed the Japanese realestate bubble but not the american in the opening

episode 4 was less interesting overall
 
I liked episode 5 because it showed the human impact that the derivatives market has on the world
 
Episode 8 was great for its realism. Whenever a country undergoes a stock crash it will always have its children randomly die and then have interdimentional beings consume it (I get that they are trying to say that bankruptcies affect real people but the space whale aesop was a little outlandish)

Hanabi's mental illness is actually pretty realistic though

Also the fanservice character comes off as very unfanservicey because she is always eating fast food
 
There's also Investor Z if you like financial related manga. You do have to acquire a taste for the art though, but I can assure you, it's worth it.

This is how the art looks like.

It looks like if Nobuyuki Fukumoto suddenly got way better at drawing. You just need a few zawas everywhere.
