I'm really enjoying the background music they've decided to use. It fits this series really well imo.

The series continues to utilize a pretty engaging and original style, even if the story's substance is lacking, especially our villains. The very insular approach to its world-building initially seemed very awkward, but I've come to enjoy it. The back stories were pretty well done and the segues rather seamless. Not too impressed with our antagonists yet.

I don't know what a Twilight is, can't remember if there was any explanation. Was there any? Or it just wasn't explained yet?
Amazing OST when Nico attacked that kid. As said before, Gangsta is one of the very best animes of the season.
I want to know more about the boys' past. Seems like a good story.


I would go and explain it for you but i'm pretty sure it will be well explained soon. The past few episodes have been slowly showing all the characters and their jobs. Just know for now, that Twilights are like over-powered soldiers.

They pretty much explained it this episode during young Worick's lecture.

During a war, the drug Celebrer was used to create super soldiers by drawing out their maximum physical abilities. It's use was later prohibited because it would lead to the users becoming dependent on it or dying from its toxicity.

The offspring of current and past users are the Twilights. They are born with overly developed physical abilities, but also born with mental and/or physical deficiencies. Take Nic for example: pretty damn strong and agile, but deaf and has speech problems.

Nico is definitely going to win, I'm all inning for him (implying i have money)

But seriously though why is it so hard for people with guns to shoot a guy with melee weapons? I understand he's fast especially when he gets up in their faces surrounding himself by them and I get they might be scared to shoot each other but there were definitely opportunities before and after that lol

I bet on a draw

How can nico read lips and talk if he was born deaf ?

Really liked the backstory on Nicolas and Worrick's first meeting.
Also noticed how both of them had bruises. I wonder if Worrick's father did that to him.


So hyped for next week's fight. Dis gon be good.


Delico also seemed like a really cool character. Badass voice too.

Awesome episode, I enjoyed the back story and I can't wait to know how Worrick got the scar on his eye. His memory is awesome! I'm looking forward to the fight next time!

For a second there I thought Delico was a younger Worrick, they look similar to me tbh.

Another great episode of Gangsta. I'm really liking the flashbacks of Worrick and Nicolas. It seems like Worrick has a great memorization ability, acquired when he was younger while reading all those books. Nicolas on the other hand seemed to have it real tough even at a young age. The A/0 dogtag kid is insanely brutal and dangerous. That last few minutes with Nicolas intervening was awesome. I can't wait for the actual fight next episode!
5/5

ANOTHER GREAT EPISODE

Man, this is getting better and better each week, I loved hearing Young Nic talk, OMG he's so awesome (Just wait for a certain scene to come) also poor Cody and Nic, always messing with the newbies.
Well Worick, what can be said other then you Sir are A Grade Awesome.

Also poor Alex, it's hard to see her go through that but let's face your demons and then get back to being awesome.

I wished when they introduced Nic during the fight that moment was slowed down, OMG it's the coolest panel I've ever seen in a manga so badass


5/5 as always Best anime of this year for sure (For me)

Holy shit this anime has always been stuff going on through the first half of the episode,probably setting up for the main arc and the backstory while the last part is always this epic mofo scene with that badass af music in the background.

Anyone know where can I get that background music/ost at the last part of the ep?

This show has a lot of good stuff going on, but every episode just feels so lifeless, and this one was no exception. Still, the content is good enough on its own, but some energy could make this so much better.


Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with this. Though, at least I am still rather interested in this, so I'll keep going for now. Hopefully it will continue to keep my interest, because I usually do like shows like this (again, I LOVED Black Lagoon and Jormungand, which this show gives me vibes of).

I agree with you both, it definitly feels like it lacks *something*. Can't quite put my finger on it, though.

Still, probably this season's best show.

Impressive. This anime is definitely one of the best this season, might even be one of the better this year, so far atleast.

Liking the backstory of Worick and Nic, the start of their friendship seems kinda sweet. Can't wait to get to know more~

Alex seem troubled, her hallucination was a bit scary actually.

Fight next week will be epic!

Still, probably this season's best show.

so far it lacks:
1.depth since we are still being kept in the dark about everything
2.there is still no tension since our MCs are 2pro
will prob get better later

Excellent episode, this anime is overcoming my expectations, this seriously animation style that spares no blood is making me very excited, the cuts between flashback and present scenes makes me even more curious to know about the past of the protagonists, I'm looking forward to the next episode to see this fight between Twilights, it sure is already one of the best of the season ..

Liked how the present-day scenes were punctuated by tidbits of Nicolas and Worick's backstory. I think I prefer this style of telling backstories over unveiling the entirety of them in one go. It helps build up and retain curiosity.

Anime of the season.
Music is cool and somewhat special.
Animation is probably the best of the seasn (most others look cheaper then 2010)
Story is interesting.

Damn cliffhanger! But forgiven since Yoshino, Hiroyuki is voicing that A/0 kid which really made my day. I really like all the villain characters he is voicing.

And nice flashback too. I like how they presented Nicolas and Worick's past. It makes you more curious.

The past three episodes were so-so for me but this one definitely made me hype up for the next one.

I'm not too sure about being able to read lips, but if he can do that, then he can talk by imitating the lips he reads to try to form words himself. That's my best guess.

I'd think that it's possible to learn how to read lips even if one is born deaf. You can be taught how to read and shown what each one looks like when spoken.
