Anime/Manga Gangsta.

Aha! This was not an action-packed episode, but we did have a lot of character development.

Spoiler:

WORICK IS A GIGOLO. LOL. Best character ever. Defying all logic of tabu topics, I loved it.

The flashback was confusing. I didn't re-watch it, but it showed somehow Nico killing someone (or he seems to be Nico) but it was Worick's memory, so makes no sense to me. If I remember correctly he was crying for his dad...?.

Spoiler:

I read elsewhere that it may have been Nicolas who was responsible for the killings (I rem ember on the episode the old woman saying he was a mercenary). Still I'll have to re-watch it as well to clarify.

 

[derozio]

What, I thought it was VERY clear that it was who you all think it was that did the killings? lol

Spoiler:

I read chapter 2 of the manga. Says he's the one who did it. You both guessed right.

Which is exactly what makes this episode too fucking awesome. It shows how things have changed over the course of all those years and how character dynamics between those two characters are drastically different from what you'd assume they'd have. The scene where Worrick gets mad at that prostitute just goes a long way to emphasize that.

NOW, why the character dynamics are the way they are now is something to be seen. But with the kind of content we've gotten in the last three episodes, I don't doubt that we'd get some good explanation behind it. Looking forward to that. <3;

I actually sort of found Alex's reaction to that guy's face sorta cute lmfao. But yeah. I hope she somehow becomes more badass. I'd like that. :p

Been really enjoying this anime so far, it's very refreshing and I hope some major events happen to give it a bit more punch but so far I've had no issues with the characters, voice acting or animation. We can only hope it stays this good :D

 

[Sonata]

Oh man. Shit's getting tense.

 

[derozio]

YES. I like how the show makes me question myself, btw. Earlier I thought that it is almost certain that Nick killed Worrick's parents and all - that panel in the manga and those scenes in the flashbacks all but implied that. But now after episode 4 I'm doubting that heavily. Their bonding just seems to imply something other than what I thought actually happened.

Maybe we got something like what happened in Witcher 2 - where the MC was framed/blamed for a murder that he did not commit - he was just there at the wrong time. Something like that. :p

Either way, this show knows how to keep me at the edge of my seat each week. Apart from Shimoneta and Charlotte, this is probably THE show I look forward to each week. Amazing stuff.

First of all, the opening is done by STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION <3 They do Daisy for Kyoukai no Kanata, which is one of my favorite endings aaaaa.

Episode One:

Spoiler:

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that Nick is deaf. I've only seen that happen once before in the Anime world(I guess since it's kind of a hard ailment to work with), but that was a manga, so you could read the characters thoughts anyway. When Alex signed "thank you", my heart kinda melted a little bit ;w;

I'm really liking it so far, will update as I make my way through the episodes :)

Episode Four:

Spoiler:

I really like this show. In the beginning, I didn't really like the animation much. The way they draw Alex kind of bothered me too, but I think I'm getting over it. The plot is pretty great!

Kid!Nick seems kind of... vulnerable? I think it adds a nice layer to his character, since as an adult he's basically a badass. Nice to know that both he and Worick were both not as strong as they are not when they were kids. When Worick was crying in front of Chad, it was a bit of a shock. Cant wait to find out what that was all about.

 

[Shadowraze]

dat ED dope af lol

Best anime of the season for me so far Excluding of course Gintama lol. I like how they proceeded with this seinen anime and I'm really looking forward to future episodes.

 

[derozio]

dat OP too. dope shit ri8 there. :D

The animation in the latest episode was very fast and fluid. In comparison to the super-jerky fight animation in first episode, anyway. Definitely enjoyed the fight.

And whoa @ the huge woman. She's boss. I initially thought she might be Worick's sis or something lol. But yeah, loving her character so far. She's da woman! the character you were waiting for, ya'all - kenchiin and others~

@Alex's trauma. I'm curious as to where she disappeared to. But her issues at this point are understandable. So I don't have a problem with her having difficulties coping with her past.

Excluding of course Gintama lol.

This guy knows his shit lel

 

[Shadowraze]

dat OP too. dope **** ri8 there. :D

Yeah, the OP kinda reminds me much of Death Parade's OP tho.

This guy knows his **** lel

lol

 

[derozio]

Anybody see the latest episode? I like the focus they've been giving to their pasts. Really does add a lot to them as characters. I never would've imagined before this episode that Worick could've had a family like he did (sure, there were hints in the previous episodes. But this episode just seals the deal). Not a fan of Worick's dad at all.

Episode also helps with the male-duo bonding which is awesome. Always. :D And seems like this isn't all we've seen of Alex's issues. Can't say I dislike the increased focus on it. I'm interested in where we go from here.

Yeah, the OP kinda reminds me much of Death Parade's OP tho.

lol

Yeah, both are slightly misleading haha.

And I know, right? I'm always right :^)

 

[Kenchiin]

Late to the party, sorry, lot of work to do!

Episode 4, 5, 6

Spoiler:

First of all, the battle between tags was amazing. What we asked for was delivered.

On a second instance, we finally have our female badass. Two of them, actually! The red-haired one seems like taken from Naruto, but it's alright. No words to express my feelings about Gina, she kicked Nicolas ass with no shame. Even Worlick was worried lol

And then, finally, the past of the main characters starts making sense.

 

[Shadowraze]

Best episode so far! Really great pace on it, I can probably see where this is going since some scenes were already hinted at the previous eps. I guess something will go on between Alex and Worick in the next episodes like it's really obvious lol.

 

[Chikara]

Is anyone else caught up in the manga? Because for real, I need someone to talk to and a shoulder to cry on because this series gets sad af :(

I wanna read the mango but the show is far too well directed for me to not relish the animation instead. :p I'll probably read the manga once this anime adaptation ends. Do you have any idea as to how much they're probably gonna adapt? The entirety of the manga or a part of it? Approximate guess considering the time we have left with the remaining episodes and the pacing they've kept till now? :p

It's hard to say considering its on chapter 37(anime doesn't rush through the manga, so the show is in the early chapters) and it's just been constant plot progression- it moves quick. There's really no chapter they could call the show quits on, AND still have it follow the manga verbatim, without it just feeling awkward and lacking closure. I can't see them pulling an Inuyasha on us lmao.

READ IT DERO PLS.

 

[Kenchiin]

I can't see them pulling an Inuyasha on us lmao.

If this goes into the Inuyasha field count me in as a future manga reader.
