I guess this was only made to give the studio more time to work on the show. But it did a good job on clearing up any confusion that people might have had

Most helpful recap episode ive seen. And very well done. I was jammin out to the music the whole time.

However, they didnt recap on characters that were recently introduced: Alex's brother, and the 2 anti-twilight "siblings."

Agreed. I love the character profiles.

Was pretty good. It did clear up for me who was behind hiring Doug to attack Monroe as well as clarified the different Mafia families and their respective characteristics.

This may have been my favorite recap of the year. While Kekkai Sensen had a cool format of a radio talk show that incorporated the OP & ED in a fun way (as well as the flashbacks), I really like how this one was structured. Rather than a mostly traditional recap, we're giving a break down on the structure of the city and the components that found the basis of the series. It was a nice refresher course delivered in a way that I personally liked as a change of pace.

Also, loved the OP, kinda wish we got something close to that for the series. With the, naming the characters on the screen & the incorporation's of flashbacks made it similar to the Baccano! OP (the best OP of all time) & the Durarara!! ones (usually very good).

I finally understand what those four families do and which one is which. This recap was very well done! Even if you didn't care about the recap you could just listen to the awesome music!

It was a very helpful recap. I like the part where they explained about the characters.

Good recap episode. Finally I got all of my questions answered. And the character introduction was nice as well.

I'm generally not big on recap episodes, but I have to at least give this one credit for not spending all of its time simply showing a condensed version of all the episodes that had aired up to this point. And this episode did provide me with two or three details that I hadn't quite picked up on when I watched the previous nine episodes. But it feels like it's kind of late in the series for something like this, though.

I kind of enjoyed this? As everyone else is saying, the recap cleared up some confusion about the families and the politics going on in Ergastulum. Glad I decided to watch this, honestly.

Probably the best recap I’ve ever seen, it cleared up a lot of things and now I know more about the 4 families which were kind of vague. I like this OP version more than the one in the anime.

It would of been weird if they would of talked about the new characters heck we don't even know Alex's brother's name (if I'm remembering right) all we know is that they all have relationo hip with Ivan and the girl is related to Delico.

I enjoyed the 1st 1:30 it was like watching an Amv with the op song :p and the character explanations really made the picture clear, also we finally learned about Twilights, it's about time! Anyways overall a great recap, I'm glad I watched it.

Was pretty informative. One recap I wouldn't mind.

Also, great OP. I prefer this style more.

Very usueful and nice narration voice by Tomohisa Hashizume.

Wikipedia said:
Worick, a character in the 2015 Japanese anime series Gangsta., is revealed to have hyperthymesia.

And it's thanks for this recap now I know Worick's ability exact name.
I'm kinda interested in a hyperthymesia test.

Mostly an informative recap about the characters rather than the complete story, but still pretty decent!

I agree with the positive opinions. There was a lot of complicated stuff with those drugs and the different families. Usually I don't like recaps but this was very helpful. (Other recap I recently liked was from Kekkai Sensen which was well made.)

The character profiles and relations were actually pretty useful to me. I liked that they didn't just recap all the previous episodes, although I do wish they spent a little more time on the plot since I'm a little confused still. Oh well, I've seen worse :P 7/10

Is there any information if they going to sell the franchise to another studio? I really want to see more Gangsta anime and my friends too... Any idea or info?
