Just marathon'd this series last night. It's actually quite interesting and entertaining and I thought that some of you guys might enjoy it.
Plot
tl;dr summary:
- Main character gathered 20,000 NEETs in order to save them from missile attacks and deported them to Dubai in order to find work and make a living.
- Erases his own memory in the very beginning so pretty much the entire series is about finding out who he was and why did he erase his memory.
- Special cellphone which has 10 billion yen and can do any request as long as it's reasonable and realistic. Each request uses up a sum of money pending on how difficult the task is.
- Money can be spent freely by the user. If the user's money reaches 0, he will be eliminated from the game and supposedly killed.
- A whole twisted game where 12 people are given this cellphone and whoever "saves" Japan first wins the game.
- There's this bitch that chops dicks off men in order to find the perfect "Johnny" to please her (penis is referred to as "Johnny" in the show).
- Show is basically all about NEETs vs. the corporate world.
- Opening theme song is performed by Oasis, rofl.
Plot
On November 22, 2010, ten missiles strike against uninhabited areas of Japan, claiming no victims. This apparent terrorist act is referred to as "Careless Monday" and disregarded by most people. The series begins three months later, with a young Japanese woman named Saki Morimi visiting Washington D.C. as part of her graduation trip. When she gets into trouble, a mysterious Japanese man, who introduces himself as Akira Takizawa, helps her through it. The man appears to have no memory and is completely naked, carrying only a gun and a cell phone charged with 8.2 billion yen in digital money.[1] While they are coming back to Japan, they learn that a new missile has hit their country.
Akira discovers that his phone is part of a game and that he himself is one of the participants. The game consists of twelve individuals, dubbed Seleção, who are given 10 billion yen to save Japan. The Seleção are able to use the phone operator, Juiz, to fulfill any kind of order for a price. However if the money is used up completely or for selfish purposes, the individual will be assassinated. As the series progresses, Akira discovers that one of the Seleção was the one who ordered missiles to be fired in Japan and the reason he erased his own memories was linked to Careless Monday. The same Seleção member decides to launch missiles towards Japan again but is intercepted by Akira who orders missiles to intercept the incoming missiles. Akira decides that the only way to save Japan is to lead it and uses his money to crown himself as the King of Japan and erases his own memory.
