In today’s economy, one wrong move with your money isn’t just a setback—it’s a sentence. That’s the driving theme behind Debt Sentence, a dark, anime-style financial literacy series created by Diapers 2 Deposits to teach students and young adults how to survive the real world of money.
In the premiere episode, Choosing a Money Mentor, we introduce a bold idea:
The wrong financial mentor can ruin your future. The right one can change your life.
💡 Is a Debt Sentence and Death Note?
Debt Sentence is a gritty, animated series designed to evoke the feel of Death Note, Psycho-Pass, and Classroom of the Elite, but with one major twist: every plot twist is rooted in real financial literacy education.
The series follows Mr. Togyu, a ruthless but brilliant personal finance teacher with a mysterious past and a gift for exposing the ugly truths behind everyday money habits. His classroom, known as Debt Row, is where financial dreams go to die—or are reborn through hard-earned knowledge.
Episode 1: Choosing a Money Mentor
The first episode of Debt Sentence dives straight into one of the most critical (and most overlooked) financial questions:
“Who is teaching you how to think about money?”
In today’s influencer economy, most teens are learning about money from:
TikTok “experts”
Broke friends with big opinions
Family members who were never taught financial literacy themselves
Mr. Togyu doesn’t just call that out—he challenges it.
With cold logic and brutal honesty, he forces his students to confront the truth:
"Your money mentor isn’t your favorite YouTuber. It’s the person whose advice actually earns you something—not just views."
🎭 Why This Matters: Financial Literacy Is Psychological Warfare
Just like in Death Note, where every decision is a battle of wits and consequences, Debt Sentence shows that financial literacy isn’t about calculators—it’s about survival.
Choosing the wrong mentor can lead to:
Bad credit decisions
Debt traps
Wasted years chasing false dreams
Choosing the right mentor gives you:
Long-term financial strategy
Mental clarity around money choices
The tools to build generational wealth
In Choosing a Money Mentor, Mr. Togyu uses chilling metaphors to show the real impact of bad advice:
A vending machine filled with flashy “wants” vs. dull “needs”
A fog of misinformation clouding students' minds
Financial epiphanies are hitting like explosions of color
💥 Why Anime Fans Love Debt Sentence
If you’re a fan of:
The mental games in Death Note
The ethical dilemmas in Psycho-Pass
The social manipulation of Classroom of the Elite
...then Debt Sentence will speak your language.
But instead of fighting with weapons or supernatural powers, characters in Debt Sentence duel with budget plans, tax loopholes, and credit strategies. It’s high-stakes financial warfare—with life-changing consequences.
