The review notes the series opens with a full screen of warnings about Forex dangers.","whyItMatters":"The review argues the show works because it keeps the audience trapped in the same passive watching position as a trader hitting Buy, which is the distinction between this and fantasy gambling series like Kaiji and Kakegurui.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe review\u0026#39;s read is that Kurumi has almost no direct action available to her. She hits Buy and watches a screen while feeling everything, and the viewer hits play and watches her do the same, so both sit inside the same box. Passione\u0026#39;s direction turns that into what the review calls a closed-room horror story, with visual flourishes for a line going up and, more often, down.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe review also notes the irony at the center: the audience is meant to plead with Kurumi to stop, but her continued mistakes are what keep the show running. Even the opening theme is described as a calculated exercise in stressing the audience out.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"FX Fighter Kurumi-chan opens on a full screen of Forex warnings, then spends four episodes making the trading look fun.

The review's angle is dissonance: a bubbly opening theme and cute girls over Forex trading that opens with a full screen of warnings.
