AnimeNation's Ask John segment also considers '[C]: the money of soul and possibility control' to be underrated
In my 2011 anime review it's obvious that I tend to prefer shonen anime with lots of action and badass moment from the characters, while AnimeNation's John prefers well-crafted drama and outstanding animation quality, but this can be interesting and enriching since it's about differents points of view and this just proves how anime offers something for everyone.
We coincide in that [C]: the Money of Soul and Possibility Control was an overlooked series, this is what he had to say:
Finally, I’d like to mention [C] THE MONEY OF SOUL AND POSSIBILITY CONTROL just for its daring to be unique. [C] may be criticized for merely shifting the tropes of Digimon into an adult setting, but the audacity to merge concepts reminiscent of Digimon with ethical philosophical debate on the responsibility of the wealthy, the degree to which external influence affects individual people’s lives, and the moral obligation to obey a personal moral code versus an order prescribed by authority make the show a fascinating example of the dynamic creativity that anime is capable of.Read his full review here.
While we didn't exactly agree on Un-Go '^_^, which he thought it was a dissapointment. I thought it ended in a good note.

Inuboku Secret Service trailer 3!
I really look forward to this series with a yokai theme, which will premiere on January 8.
The romantic comedy follows a mistress and her "servant" (bodyguard) in Maison de Ayakashi, a high-class building better known by the name "Demon House (Ayakashi-kan)." Rumors about it abound, ranging from "nothing but weirdos live there," to "It's a haunted house inside," but the truth is that the people who live in this mysterious building are all descendants of demons.
Ririchiyo Shirakiin is troubled by her inability to interact with people, and comes to the building in order to change herself. There she meets Soushi Miketsukami, one of the Secret Service bodyguards assigned to each tenant, and he tells her, "Please make me your dog!"
