High Card

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. However, nothing could have prepared Finn for the nightmare that was awaiting him. Once there, Finn encountered a car chase and bloody shootout caused by a manʼs "lucky" card. Finn will eventually learn what the shootout was about. 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. With these cards, people can access the hidden power of the "buddy" that can be found within themselves. 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 car maker Pinochle. Scouted to become the groupʼs fifth member, Finn soon joins the players on a dangerous mission to find these cards. "All you need in life are manners, dignity, and the will to bet on your own life." However, Whoʼs Who, the rival car maker obsessed with defeating Pinochle, and the Klondikes, the infamous Mafia family, stand in the way of the gang. A frenzied battle amongst these card obsessed players, fueled by justice, desire, and revenge, is about to begin!

I have liked Anime since the 80's when I stumbled into the art form. I loved how Japan didn't condescend with animation and so much was adult, very adult in form and content. With complex storylines. Then by the late 90's and early 2000's America started importing "anime". But. of course America being America much of what was imported was the juvenile stuff. I decided what the heck. I will give High Card a chance. After the first one I was huh? This seems pretty good, I will hang in there. And sure enough a great story and characters unfolded and by episode 3 I knew I was hooked! And High Card has been renewed for another season! Can't wait. 

 

In the meantime I will busy myself with another excellent series going into Season Two soon... "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury"...
