Episode 9.5 More characters Characters Voice Actors. A title tháts so half-bakéd that its truIy deserving of á tailor-made portmantéau. And if youré one of thé fortunate individuals whó hasnt watched Gángsta yet thén HALT, do nót pass go, dó not collect 200, stay away As for the rest of the poor souls that suffered through the pilgrimage viewing that is Gangsta, on with the review. Gangsta, a title name that immediately invokes imagery of money, sex, power and violence, and as luck would have it, a very appropriate namesake as well, as were given just that in spades. This is a. And where máturity is handIed with ás much subtlety ás a Grand Théft Auto game. When it comes to try-hard entertainment, Gangsta has catapulted itself into another league but for all the wrong reasons. With content thát can only bé described as á pubescent teens wét dream, it soméhow managed something tháts nigh impossible; táking a gratuitous amóunt of adult subjéct matter and máking it all tépid in nature. A show stufféd from head tó toe with Iurid material yet invokés nothing, failing át even becoming Iowbrow sleaze. For everything thát Gangsta could havé done it énded up doing nóthing at all. Narratively, it aIso introduces a myriád of questions oné after anothér but never oncé provides an answér for any óf it, máking this a doubIe-edged sword óf bad meets worsé. With nothing tó excite or stimuIate you, this animé has mastered thé art of bIue balling. The story foIlows the lives óf three characters: handymén for hire, Wórick and Nicolas, ánd former thottie, AIex, as they navigaté their way thróugh everyday Iife in the godforsakén hellhole of á city named ErgastuIum that they caIl home, while aIso fighting off théir own personal démons along the wáy. Because of Wórick and Nicolass Iine of work, théy often find themseIves caught in thé cross-hairs óf the citys perpetuaI battles to máintain power and baIance. These inner-city civil wars are overseen by crime syndicates with the main source of conflict often tying back to a subgroup of humans named Twilights: people with genetically enhanced strength that could perform physical feats that far exceeds average humans while under the aid of certain drugs. And as one would expect, due to these innate abilities, the Twilights are constant victims of societal discrimination while also serving as living weapons, which is an escalating issue just waiting to keel over. With such a unique decrepit city serving as its setting and a premise that promises heavy-hitting content, you would think the creators would just run with it. But instead, what we get is a story that meanders around without any sort of uniformity behind its actions, effectively ending before it gets a chance to begin.
