Review of Gangsta.
I don't really know why, but I had high hopes coming into this one. Didn't read anything about it, see any trailers etc. So I'm not really sure where these hopes came from. Ultimately, it's rather average. Animation is great to be honest, reminds me of a Madhouse style animation but not quite a finessed. The fights are still well animated despite my previous comment. The violence is nicely done and weirdly doesn't feel to over the top. I would probably give the animation a 7/10. Music wise, it's equally as strong as the animation. At times, it's a little simple and repetitive but stillmanages to keep the scenes moving forward when involved. I would give the music 7/10
I found the story here a bit boring. Im not ate about anyone else but I didn't really buy into any of the characters. I'm not really sure the show really tries to get you emotionally invested in them either. This is fine of course, but without this, I lose interest and thus feel the story drags with every episode. Setting characters to one side and focusing on the story, it's still the same for me. It's not an overly exciting premise. Sometimes, I feel it's impacted by it's episode count, but pacing isn't the problem here. It spreads the story out really well over the episodes it's just unexciting and very average for me. 6/10
All In all, this is a 6/10 for me. I'm still going to say it's recommended, as with the right viewer, I'm sure it's great.
