Gangsta

Short anime series but with amazing stuff,good story with gangsta characters

Every show is special in its own way, people don't like to appreciate things. City followed by crime and violence gets a duo who helps them in fighting super powerd humans. Story is good and i liked the character development. The show has it's own charm. And they've done it in just 12 episodes. Art is crazy, and loved the perspectives. It's not about comparison all the time, some things you just have to appreciate it. And this one is so good, I had fun watching it.

You can dive deep if you tried to find the heart of the characters, and you'll find that these characters are pretty inspiring. The studio went bankrupt so it was being produced under low budget i think, but it overcomes that and has its own aura.

Gangsta is nothing super special, but if you're looking for an anime that has good action and a decent set of characters, Gangsta has it for sure. It ends in a way where you're satisfied with the 12 episodes but the show could continue if the time ever came. It certainly has a dark side and pretty violent but it left me satisfied at the end.

In Ergastulum, crime is almost part of the daily routine. Corruption, theft and prostitution plague the city while the police can only look on helplessly. In this seedy town, deaf Nic and part-time gigolo Worick work as 'garbage men' and 'handy men', taking care of the town's trash and doing the dirty behind-the-scenes work that everyone else is too good to do .

The anime manages to present interesting characters in a good setting with nice animations.

The anime really grabbed me and I devoured it in one piece.

Unfortunately, the anime will not be continued, which I personally think is a pity, because I think you can make a lot out of it.

Ergastulum is a place filled with gangsters loyal to four main families. A violent city filled with hookers, thugs, drugs and Twilights. Twilights are humans born with extraordinary strength and speed, but who live short lives and generally have a handicap to 'compensate' for their abilities. The Twilights are ranked according to their skill level and wear dog tags, and are often referred to as 'tags'.

Nicholas is a high level tag and life-long friend of Worick (a 'normal') and together they're the Handymen. They do odd jobs around town (kill people, act as gigolos, etc) and are not loyal to any of the main families. Occasionally they help the cops solve particularly nasty crimes. The story mainly revolves around Worick and Nicholas as they try to keep the streets safe for their friends in an increasing violent turf war and as anti-Twilight factions try to kill off all the remaining Twilights.

This show was definitely my kinda thing. The character development was good (for only a 12 episode series), the animation was good and the violence factor was high. Not a show for kids though or anyone looking for light-hearted entertainment. As for why I only gave it a 7/10, well without spoiling the ending, I'm thinking they already have a second season planned, or otherwise just dropped it due to budget constraints or a lack of interest, because it seemed very abrupt. Well worth a watch anyway.
