I didn't really understand the main plot here.. Recap helped a bit.. but still.
That's a nice trap Worick set up.. But still Striker did manage to get away somehow. Also that Injection.. I think this had to be fatal..If striker just threw him out the window after. If Worick would be dying..I Think OST would be with sad melody , but it wasn't , also wiki says he's alive(still).

Yup Normals , Don't stick your nose into this deal..

This show had incredible music and sounds in my opiniooon , Thanks to authors:)

Guys, come ON, do you really think this series will sell enough for a second season? The manga didn't even get a major boost, the budget was non existent and the pre-orders are pathetic.

The last ones were very unimpressive.

Great writing and direction in this episode. Art and animation has also improved a lot.
However, it really doesn't feel like a last episode at all. And I really don't think we'll ever get a second season, so that sucks.

7/10 overall for the series. Large cast of likable characters, but the story and animation wasn't always that good. Soundtrack was nice, but sometimes kind of unfitting.

Shit ending to a show that was entertaining enough but could have been so, so much more if it had really tried. Instead, it was often boring and felt like it was trying too hard to make me care in the end. And, with that ending, it was all for nothing. And how the fuck did Nina know what had happened to Worick?

At least they end it same the as the manga. (Worrick being wounded.)
They ended at chapter 28. And as they ended it with a cliffhanger, a sequel is likely planned.

I'm not quite happy with the ending, but that was expected considering the overall pace. At least it continued in the same manner as the previous episodes.

I liked the art style in this anime. The OST was noticeable, though that might also be because it was a bit louder than usual. The story and storytelling were a bit lacking(save for a few exceptions where it turned out pretty good), in my opinion, but it was enough.

Cliffhanger final episode. It was okay. Lots of unanswered questions. Why did Striker call Worwick a "mix?" Is that when a normal uses Celebrar?

Stop this fucking trend and end your anime on a satisfying note already. Resolve all the important plot points and then bait with some scenes for the second season. School-Live! does this. Why can't anyone else do the same.

Heres a show thats fresh, oozes style and didnt butcher the anime adaption. It was an anime adapted before it shouldve been when 12 eps covered 2/3rds of the manga but christ you ppl are just f'n repulsive.

So...that was it, right? What a fucking joke.
Really a shame because I was really into it early on but the awful production value really held it back. I wish I could say the series was good, because I like/d story concept and characters, but as a standalone work (and I doubt a second season will happen) it wasn't any more than average.

Manga reading it is.

Here's also a show with very poor writing, horrible animation and slow pacing. And since when is "super soldiers from drugs with bad side-efects" fresh?

Oi Oi Oi how can they do this as a last episode !? Don't they know that even if there's going to be a second season, which I'm REALLY hoping for, the end of a first season should at least tie SOME loose ends up? Oh wait nvm, of course they don't , they're japanese. No bitching on the episode itself, it's awesome, loved the whole anime, but this is just no way to ''end'' a first season darn it ! :D

Some of you whine about cliffhunger ending ok you're right BUT they got only this much manga material and they were faithful to it and I'm grateful for that most of shows that has ending made but guys from anime industry not by original creator sucks.

If you hate cliffhunger = read manga it's about 29 chapter ;]

Sauga Manglobe. They didn't even try to give a thematic conclusion to the damn series.

Oh how this show conflicted me. There were times (Mostly during the Nick/Worrick flashback and Alex's past) that Gangsta was the best show of the season, maybe several seasons, but there was only so much that could be done.

Look, I can appreciate that Manglobe barely gives a crap about adapting the lowest common denominator stuff, but that only goes so far. While they did fine for the first 7 episodes or so, eventually languid execution and bad animation reduced the show to a slog. And quite frankly the hunters brought nothing good to the table. They were the generic elements in what had mostly been a non-generic show.

So in the end I'll try to remember that Gangsta could be an excellent series. A 7/10.

P.S. There won't be a second season. Time to read the manga everyone.

I was already caught up before watching but I have a shit memory at times :p...Yeah they got the ending right but what about it? The manga was far more coherent with how the events played out. The anime adaptation was disjointed at times with some chapters being skipped even if they weren't relevant. Doug made the show haha

the first few episodes were interesting, but the animation, the rushed/jumbled plot, the 3edgy5me characters etc. etc. killed it

Wow that was a horrible place to end it. Maaan. The stuff that comes after this is great, too... well I mean I guess they're pretty close to catching up to the series (there are like ~40 something chapters, anime ended off sometime before ch 35/34 or late 20s) but I hope a second season will be a thing (idk how it'll sell tho).

Obviously they're trying for a sequel hook but idk if they will actually do it.

Also, if you want to read the manga, I suggest you start from the beginning because not only is the art better than the animation in the anime, there are a lot of other details the anime missed that are... not exactly necessary to include per se, but they do help with characterization and stuff.

Well, it was my favorite thing this season.

6/10. But if a second season is announced, that'll automatically change my score to a 7/10. Thanks for the ride Gangsta, to bad it ended on an anticlimactic note. *Sigh*

I really wish more anime would stop ending like this, but i see why its necessary when adapting things. What can i say, nature of the medium. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's it? Dammit why did it have to end on such a cliffhanger >_> Worst part is the manga doesn't seem to have many chapters out so it looks like it'll be a while for chances for a S2 to be considered. Shame, the show was really good at first but it started falling off a bit towards the end. Then it ends in a freaking cliffhanger :(

Gotta love "read the manga" endings. Granted maybe the manga didn't have a good stopping point and they felt this was the best they could do, but it's still frustrating. I have been reading the manga alongside the anime though, so I guess I'll just continue reading. We wouldn't see a second season for over a year anyway since the manga is monthly.

Holy shit, it ended like that? Sequel when? I'm really hoping for one now. I definitely enjoyed this show. Gotta admit that the art and animation wasn't all that great in later episodes, but it wasn't to the point of unbearable to me, still loved this show. 9/10.

I have to say. Started as a 9/10 with that amazing opening, amazing story telling but towards the end .. what a mess.


So we have this group Anti-Twilights that is chasing them for some reason, Erica, that white haired girl is there so as Alex's brother. And did I got it wrong, or the leader of this group is one of the four fathers?

Everything to be resolved, it needs a second season. What about that other girl that was ith the Handymen, Victoria or something that died.. will we ever hear about that?

The cliffhanger ending .. if there is a second season it's fine for me, if not I will drop this rate even lower.

7.5/10 due to the lack of a second season and a messy ending. I'm expecting a second season where everything will be explained properly. What a shame Gangsta .. you had so much potential.

At first I thought great, gangstas, mafia+police corruption+prostitutes, that looks very promising as it is an underused angle.

In the end it was another shounen. Twilights - super powers versus hunters.

It was a good episode, but it really didn't feel like a finale. Overall, it definitely wasn't as great as the initial hype led me to believe, but it was still a decent watch. Probably 7/10 for me.

I'd like to see a second season, but I won't hold my breath.
