Makoto Edamura, the MC from Great Pretender, who wasn’t great but was carried by a solid cast around him) and Chris wasn’t utterly predictable in virtually everything that counts as character development. That might be fine if Finn wasn’t a bog standard shonen MC that didn’t have anything interesting to him (the best comparison I have is to The show has a grand total of 5 major characters, spending the vast majority of its time developing two of them: Finn and Chris. It doesn’t have the kinetic action or suave sophistication of Kingsmen, it doesn’t really have the character bonds, development or direction of Bungou, it’s just… there. When I looked at this initially, I thought it was a bit of Kingsmen meets Bungou Stray Dogs, and while that’s mostly right, the comparisons don’t do it any favors. The middle or near-end of the anime might be its weak point in terms of entertainment, though I had some good laughs. My favorite thing about this anime is how there are unique powers for each card, and each character (including side characters) has a decent amount of depth to them. Finn might be on the weak side compared to every other character in the series, but the moments where he does shine with his 2 card are the times where they need a miracle the most. One of the most slept-on anime I have ever positively experienced.

Chris Redgrave gave me emotional damage by the last episode. I'm a sucker for action, and if you are too, I cannot recommend this anime more. Every episode from then on had me clenching my toes in anticipation, ESPECIALLY towards the end That same episode is where all the killings for cards start happening, and oh boy, I was not expecting it. You start by wondering if he's cheating his way to money, then the existence of the high cards gets revealed to you for the first time. The first ten minutes had me a little bored, but once they switch the story up to Finn's life where he steps into the casino, it starts getting a little interesting.

I came into this anime blind without knowing anything about it beforehand. A frenzied battle amongst these card-obsessed players, fueled by justice, desire, and revenge, is about to begin! However, Who's Who, the rival car maker obsessed with defeating Pinochle, and the Klondikes, the infamous Mafia family, stand in the way of the gang. 'All you need in life are manners, dignity, and the will to bet on your own life.' Scouted to become the group's fifth member, Finn soon joins the players on a dangerous mission to find these cards. There is a secret group of players called High Card, who have been directly ordered by the king of Fourland to collect the cards that have been scattered throughout the kingdom while moonlighting as employees of the luxury carmaker Pinochle. With these cards, people can access the hidden power of the 'buddy' that can be found within themselves. The world order can be controlled by a set of 52 X-Playing cards with the power to bestow different superhuman powers and abilities to the ones that possess them. Once there, Finn encountered a car chase and bloody shootout caused by a man's 'lucky' card.įinn will eventually learn what the shootout was about. However, nothing could have prepared Finn for the nightmare that was awaiting him.

After discovering that his orphanage was on the brink of closing due to financial stress, Finn, who was living freely on the streets, set out for a casino with the aim of making a fortune.
