So, I literally came up with this by watching my roomie's kid playing around after reading the fridge brilliance for Money and Soul. OK, so the show uses financial terms for attacks right? And a lot of kids like to embellish their parents' jobs to both sound like superheroes and simplify them, right? Ergo, this show is what happens when a little kid describes his Businessman/woman parent's jobs after overhearing them talk about their work, with Attack Calls corresponding to Terms the parents might use, and the whole "Future" thing after hearing his mom/dad talking about "investing in futures"
BYOON~!So regarding Q's deal during Mikuni's, err, Deal... whoever guessed Q was a Berserker was right. The asset Mikuni summoned is called Aurore, and her flation is "Sleeping Beauty" which nullifies the abilities of an asset, which Aurore usually uses to keep Q in check.
Just got that from secondhand info though, but it's apparently on the official site if anyone wants to verify.
Ack! MORE All There in the Manual. Wasn't there enough already?

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serialOh god, what the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with that asset?
Also: Yoga joins the guild! We see the effects of deals on Yoga! Msyu eats Ramen!
And the music that plays during the pharma CEO's deal is bomb

BYOON~!Msyu eats ramen! Yaaay!
And I love how Msyu is basically the audience stand-in during the last scene.

Goodfae: a mafia web serialConsidering that they set up that sort of thing with the girl who produced a BFG out of her chest (and ether was put in pain by doing so or was having an orgasm- I'll go with the first option), it didn't freak me out that much. Though I do understand why he would be freaked out.
...I guess the non-humanoid Assets are male. Considering how the humanoid ones are all female.

That said, I really like Msyu. She's a Tsundere who can control her outbursts, something that's sadly quite a rarity.

Still no word as to whether our hero is going the harem route...acquiring multiple femassets.
As for Msyu's ramen experience, her first attempt at eating it when she put her mouth right up to the lip of the card...
No Masakaki in this episode... Too bad.

BYOON~!Little snippets of Deals... me likey. I was having fun watching the episode up until the cliffhanger with the awesome buglike Body Horror Asset. Why'd they have to stop at that moment?!
^It gets better :) Also, it seems Masakaki is shaping up to be not that important of a character; either that or his real significance won't be revealed until much later. I really hope this show is longer than the 11 episode Noitamina norm.
I'll turn your neocortex into a flowerpot!So I wonder how Mikuni's going to end up as an antagonist? I mean, we all know it's going to happen, what with the opening credits and the regular hints regarding just how sinister and ruthless he is, but the hows and whys of Yoga eventually opposing him are still in the dark.
Also, it was nice to see Yoga actually following up on his promise to Msyu. For a bit there, I suspected that he might just be making up excuses to get out of an awkward situation.
What's precedent ever done for us?Well, what might happen is this.
Begin
: Yoga and Msyu grow closer and closer, becoming more and more powerful/efficient/etc, more so than any other Entre/Asset combo before due to the Power of Love/Friendship/Heart. Mikuni eventually orders Yoga to dispose of Msyu, because their relationship is beginning to affect reality. Yoga refuses, determined to solve it another way. Cue Mikuni turning into a (in his mind) Well-intentioned bad guy. End
Thing is, we know that he's not a good guy already (though evidence in favour of him being a villain is still also rather slim), thanks to his rather callous attitude towards minor entres like Yoga and the guy he bankrupted in Episode One. It just remains to be seen whether, why, and how our hero will turn against him.
