Gangsta. is an anime that could have been godlike but instead it was 'fine'. A show to pass the time. -Story: 4 There are "Twilights" and "normals" -> Twilights are stronger than normals, to the point that they can dodge bullets and kill you with their bare hands. But Twilights need a drug called "Celebrer" to survive, a drug that normals fabricate (couldn't twilights learn how to fabricate some nice drugs? Really?). Lots of normals hate twilights and some use 'em as slaves (despite twilights are so bloody strong they could put humanity at their feet), some kill 'em, very few actually help 'em. That's the contextwhere our protagonists (one twilight, one normal) try to survive doing whatever they can.
The plot is well paced and quite intriguing in the first 8 episodes, then it is so rushed and so bad developed that it left a bad taste in my mouth. In addition, the end has a lot of plot holes that makes you wish for a second season, but it will never come since Manglobe (the studio that produced the show) filed for bankruptcy.

-Art: 7
I really liked a lot the art and it fits in a satisfactory way, but the animation was... well, a little bit disappointing.

-Sound: 7
Every character had its right seiyuu. I did not found any character with a voice not fitting with his/her personality.
The OST is fine; nothing memorable except Alex performance in chapter 8. That song suited very nice with the chapter events.

-Characters: 6
Nico is a (lil' bit) captivating character with a dark past. Same as Worrick, despite he is not captivating, but rather "the guy that acts cool". Alex is a hot gyal that used to be a prostitute and her development was well done. These three are the main protagonists of the show and their personalities are well developed. Not as the other. There are intriguing characters, each with a story to tell, like Marco, Paulklee, Dany,... but due to lack of money (what means lack of episodes, A LOT OF EPISODES) we got a show with enormous plot holes for almost every character.

-Enjoyment: 7
I did enjoy the show besides its end.

-Overall: 6
Gangsta. had a huge potential to be a great show, sadly it is not.
