| bro that was the shit! last scene i was like holy fuck m8 u ok there i died no joke To the kid  |
| Nice to see a little back story on how Nicolas and Worick met, but definitely hoping to see more. Damn that cliffhangar, I don't think Nico will lose most likely it will be an unfinished fight. Either way it's going to be one hell of a battle. |
 |
| Worick and Nicolas as children ahhh it was lovely to see them animated. |
| The animation was a little bit wonky at first, but then it got better. This is my favorite episode so far. I expect to see more flashbacks of Nic and Worrick as kids, I'm very interested in their relationship. For now it seems like this is more a drama than an action anime, but it's still good. |
.....    |
| Good stuff! This anime reeks of dankness and it's awesome. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Lots of terms, history, character deepening, introduction, plot development, man this had a lot of everything. Gotta like Hiroyuki Yoshino, he really has the voice to fit a thug. |
 |
| Another amazing episode, I loved the reveals. So now we know Nic was Worrick's bodyguard, he was quite obedient and innocent while Worrick was sensitive. I didn't expect that. They've matured big time given the horrible life they lived and are still living. Another reveal was that the twilights have some disability or shorter life span due to the drugs. That explains Nick being deaf and the new kid's voice sounding like an adult (or is he an adult whose body didn't grow?) I can't wait to know the complete past of the Benrya's relationship. Also, what about that girl that Nic loved? Finally, looks like the best fight so far is going to happen next episode, two bloodthirst A0's! |

| Wow this is great. i wish i didnt have to wait a week for each episode. I'm starting to think this might be one of those series thats fun to rewatch. |

Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Seems like an epic fight is about to go down next episode! I'm a bit confused about the whole Monroe family thing or whatever, but hopefully it'll make more sense to me later on. I also want to see more of the past between Nico and Worrick. |
 |
| Amazing episode. I like how they use each episode adequately and gradually reveal things about the overarching storyline, as well as building the world. Looks like Worick has a supernatural ability of some kind. I really want to see how Worick and Nic became friends. Oh, and the exposition was handled very creatively. It's good that they reveal bits and pieces at a time, and not by infodumping everything. Overall, I didn't expect to enjoy the show this much. 5/5 |
vanella96 said: Valaskjalf said: How can nico read lips and talk if he was born deaf ? I'm not too sure about being able to read lips, but if he can do that, then he can talk by imitating the lips he reads to try to form words himself. That's my best guess. I'd think that it's possible to learn how to read lips even if one is born deaf. You can be taught how to read and shown what each one looks like when spoken. I remembered something was mentioned that he wasnt completely deaf but just has super bad hearing.like how worick had to slam the pipe in order to get nico's attention this ep,required a loud sound but nico noticed it. |
| Aww man i wanted to see more backstory D: were those bruises on his arm? If so then i'm starting to understand how Nicolas became close with Worick after presumably murdering his parents. Good episode, but the next should be even more interesting. |
King_of_Anime said: I'm with you, even with main character factor aside. Nico's got that little piece of shit in his pocket.I got $300 on Nic. Who bettin. Why does nobody take into account the age/experience of the Twilights? |
  |
| So the real Gangsta begins. Doug vs Nico really was the curtain raiser for the main story, that and the background for Nico and Worick (which should be totally revealed in the next episode). We also got introduced to the amazing retinal retention skills of Worick at the police station. It's great to have photographic memory, except when there are certain events in your life that you want to forget real bad. They certainly followed the manga to a T here. Next few episodes are going to be great. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Nicolas is really cute when he was younger, and I kind of feel bad whenever I still see someone react to him being deaf :/ Defintaly a good episode, but I'm not really fond of Gangs or some naked shots here and there, and the only thing that kind of interest me in this show are Nicolas and Alex for now. Let's see how it goes, but I'm not sure I'll continue the manga if it's the things I mentioned are worse than the anime. |
 |
| DELICO! DOUG! YAAAAAAS 8) I am so pleased with Delico's voice. Hot damn. Seeing Doug's movements animated was amazing as well *u* I feel like the censorship has gotten a bit stronger compared the the first episode...but I'm not sure. I am very glad they included Alex's hallucinaton(s) and are going to be including Worick and Nic's backstory. I was so worried they were gonna skip over all that. |
| Ahh, just as it was getting good. Dang cliffhangers... Worwick has got to have some toasted lungs smoking all them years. Good thing he's fast, he wouldn't make it in a long battle. |
| Such junk... |
| What a great episode, I can't wait to see the fight next week. |
| Damn it! Awesome episode! Can't wait for next week T___T |

alpha_shadow said: man, they're doing a great job with this series! so far my favorite anime of the season <3 YES. Delico's voice shocked me haha I was thinking of something more soft, I don't know!? Anyway, I loved this episode! (flashbacks will kill me) |
| ...epic flash back and epic action, place your bets !!! |
Tomasz-Sama said: CandyFace said: I don't think that they revealed who he murdered so far as I know but what interests me more is what happened with Nicolas parents and with Nicolas itself, the place where he was trained and how he became deaf and why he needs those tablets ? So many questions I have, lol.Aww man i wanted to see more backstory D: were those bruises on his arm? If so then i'm starting to understand how Nicolas became close with Worick after presumably murdering his parents. The another thing what interests me is what does that old lady meant by saying that Alex might end up like I think Victoria ? I'm curious who's Victoria, how she looked like and how she died. Some of these questions were actually explained in this episode or can be deduced when combined with info from the previous one. First, why Nicolas needs the tablets. In one flashback sequence this episode (about 13 minutes in) the teacher of young Worrick is lecturing about how the offspring of Celebrer users, called Twilight, exhibit extraordinary abilities and in most cases require daily doses of Celebrer. These are presumably the tablets Nicolas takes. Second, who is Veronica? Remember when Worrick, Nicolas and Alex visited a brothel previous episode? They brought medicine for a sick woman who Worrick looked concerned about and we saw a glimpse of her (actually just her arm) with Nicolas sitting beside her bed. That is probably Veronica. So she's not dead, but in very bad shape. |

| [quote=Tomasz-Sama] CandyFace said: P.S Is there a Manga about Gangsta. ? I might buy it to expand my collection :) Yes, there are currently 7 Volumes, and they are such a great addition to anyone's collection. There are the few minor changed scene's from the manga to anime so I could highly recommend buying the manga on top of watching the anime. |
| Strange to see Monroe handling street jobs. Maybe he is confident, but there is a thick line between that and a gang leader roaming around in a city filled with monsters. |
| Damn that second half tho <3 I love you Nick |

And to further that, I'd venture to say he probably wasn't deaf his entire life, as you NEED to have hearing skills in order to learn anything related to spoken language skills (no matter the actual dialect), so it's not unheard of for someone to lose their hearing gradually--especially if it's caused by illness or genetics (as seems to be the basis of what sets Twilights apart from the normal populous). Just as there are varying degrees of 'blindness' that can happen to people, same can be said for deafness. It would seem to me that he at least had his hearing long enough in his formative earlier years to have learned how to talk. |
 |
| Loving this series! And this episode was pretty damn on point, too--not only for the action, but the portion of the backstory was well done too. As others have said, I really appreciate how they weaved it into their present day life and relationship/friendship. Man, Wednesday can't come fast enough.....lol |
|
| Love seeing Nic's grin as he held up his tags. He is totally psyched for the fight as I am to watch it! |
| Young Nico and Worick were pretty moe. |
 |
| I like that midget, he's pretty awesome. Money's on Nic, of course. He's gonna slaughter him. It was nice seeing a younger version of Nic and Worwick but I prefer their older versions, more mature and bad ass. I'm sick and tired of seeing 14-year-olds saving the fucking world because we know that's bullshit. |
| 臭い- |

LostGod said: So basically that bob marley kid is as strong as Nic? that's lame lol I need more than 12 eps of that anime Those 12 episdoes might cover for around 24-28 chapters, and manga got only 36 at this point. So we wont see a sequeal for about 2 years. And they are realy following the manga and its pace. Unfortunatly manga writers is publishing chapters at his will like 9 over a year or something, and manga started to be realy exciting now. Would love is writer would give us chapters more frequently, that way we might see new season next year. |
ETX said: VanishingKira said: Next episode should be interesting,A/0 vs A/0. A/0 vs A/0 is a bit misleading. You'll see why later. This sum's up the thread, Hopefully they follow the manga 100% for this.. This may end up being the best anime for me well this or Monster Musume |
| The show really fits western audiences' taste. Maybe that's why it's pretty popular in MAL and here I am wondering what's so special about it |
| Man I just fucking love this show. Nicolas & Worick, best duo I have seen in a loooong time. |
  |
| Excellent episode, a lot of backstory about Worrick and Nicolas. |
| Hyped for next episode. |
 |
| This anime is cool. The artstyle is cool. the fight scenes are cool too... but the dialogues are boring me. I really fell in sleep at middle... dropped. |
| Wait whaaaat so that wasn't a flashback?? I thought the guy with the short white hair was young worrick but it's not...?? I'm so confuzzled >< Also nico is a twilight?? I thought he was a dogtag, is that something different? And worrick is a twilight too...? Or I guess that guy with the short white hair that I thought was worrick.... EDIT: dammit I saw the guys dogtag and it said delico and I thought that was worricks last name hence why I thought it was young worrick in another flashback.... Dammit I was so confused for no reason and that pretty much ruined the episode for me ;A; |
