Closing

Trillion Game is one of the educational anime that talk about starting a business because today’s job market is terrible and hard to get employed anywhere. Haru is kind of like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk and Gaku probably Bill Gates. It good to see Trillion Game hit rock bottom and make their way back up. This show deals with greed, corruption and nepotism in Kirika case. Her father Kazuma wants Haru to marry Kirika and take over family business. Haru declined to saying he is already married but actually a bluff. He is one of my favorite characters in the show because his swindle skills for his personal gain. I love how there is a company trip to Las Vagas and dynamic between two major characters. Gaku met his love interest and kind of rejected her at High School Reunion. Trillion is animated by Madhouse.

I love the opening 2 “Over the Top” by Hiroji Miyamoto and I got in on my phone. Trillion Game mentions Nintendo, Netflix and mobile games. This couldn’t come at a better time because a lot of people are getting layoff because current administration. If you want to learn how to be entrepreneurial person, watch this show. It also talks about Vtubers as well, I am hoping for a season two and there is a live action television drama. I love the English voice actors as well for doing amazing job.
