Gangsta – 12 (End?!) and Series Review

See Manglobe, this is why people get pissed off at you right here. I hardly know where to begin talking about that episode, to be honest.  The first 20 minutes were great, but that’s like saying the 20’s were a great decade except for the whole Great Depression thing at […] Read more

How can a series so ugly on so many levels still manage to be beautiful sometimes? I guess this is the day to lament manga adaptations which end in the middle of the story with no hope of a sequel (Arslan Senki isn’t quite hopeless, at least).  No, I have […] Read more

It’s great to have Gangsta back, but it sure isn’t getting any easier to watch. I did a short piece on Manglobe for MAL recently, and it really hammered home for me just how unusual this studio is.  I won’t go so far as to say every show they make […] Read more

To quote Sly Stone, it’s a family affair. The “Siblings” this episode title referred to weren’t the ones I expected (mostly anyway), but Gangsta has a way of tying everything together so elegantly that you’re amazed you didn’t see it coming from the beginning.  The familial theme permeates everything about […] Read more

If last week’s magic word was “why”, this week it seems to be “family”. If this week’s episode of Gangsta wasn’t quite as transcendent as its very best have been, it was still awfully good.  There are so many layers to this story that it’s hard not to be acutely […] Read more

Among the many things it’s doing brilliantly, Gangsta certainly knows how to ask the right question. I don’t throw the word “masterpiece” around lightly when it comes to anime (or anything else for that matter) but Gangsta is rather forcing my hand.  I’m framing this is the context of two […] Read more

Of all the myriad Seinfeld quotes that seem to fit every possible situation that presents itself in life, perhaps none is so useful to the anime blogger as “It’s so nice when it happens good.” I’m starting to get that giddy feeling with Gangsta – that one that hits somewhere […] Read more

That episode had everything but R. Daneel Olivaw. It was announced this week that Gangsta would be premiering on Sundays from now on – which didn’t exactly make me jump for joy, as my Sundays were already crazy.  The reason is that ABC (Asahi Broadcasting Corporation), the network that originally […] Read more

This is grown-up anime, in every sense of the word. At this stage I’m about ready to call Gangsta the best new show of the summer, though Ushio to Tora and Akagami no Shirayukihime aren’t too far back.  There’s just a maturity to this series that sets it apart.  In […] Read more

One think about Worick – everyone he goes, people know the part he’s playin’. I’m not a fan of every trend in modern anime by any means – I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think the medium’s overall body of work since the start of 2013 is […] Read more
