And this is just a warning to those who are about to waste a lot of precious time.
I got drawn to this anime because of the title.
Gilgamesh is an ancient Mesopotamian king written about in the Gilgamesh Epic (Epic of Gilgamesh) which has been dated as the oldest and therefor first piece of great literary work.
Well that sounds awesome doesn't it?
Too bad the anime doesn't even come close to it.
This whole anime is some sort of postapocaliptic style story about good vs. bad with 2 kids caught in the middle. not really anything special in my opinion but none the less I started watching it. I soon came to realize that it was a grave error that has caused me to waste precious time I will never get back and I dropped the series.
Story:
The plot isn't all that bad, well it's definitely not good, but it's mediocre.
The way that it's told however is rather boring and played out even though this is an old anime.
Like I said post-apocalyptic world with Good vs. Evil and 2 kids in the middle. They are the children of the one guy that actually put the world in it's current position. They are hunted down by a group called gilgamesh and taken in by a count that fights gilgamesh through a bunch of other kids with telekinetic type powers. this is where it goes wrong. all the fights are fought through these powers and it's just lame.
Art:
The art work is plain, totally uninspired and lackluster. The graphics are terrible and there's allmost no motion. It's like watching an anime from one still to the other. Character movements are minimal, and poor, the background is played out, and poor. it really offers nothing. this is probably the main reason why the anime is so boring. because if the art and graphics/motions were dope the anime might have been much cooler. the telekinetic fight scenes, the explosions and wall crumbling scenes all are so minimal in detail etc. that it just doesn't amaze you in the slightest bit.
Sound:
There's nothing much to be said about the sound. it' s nothing special, any mediocre anime this would have been okay.. it doesn't uplift the anime, but it also doesn't enhance it.
Character:
Just really played out again. The characters look lame with a lack of detail. The hair and faces for instance really looks horrible in this anime. the background stories are also not really deep and not really interesting. it's allmost as if the makers of this anime didn't really wan't to make it.
As if they were terribly underpaid and went like '' ok if that's how it's going to be.. scribble scribble.. ok done, yeh we know this looks horrible... but fuck you, pay us now, we don't care if you release it''
Enjoyment:
it made me sigh a lot.... like
*sigh* ... why am I watching this?
*pfff* am I really watching this?*
*ungh* i'm gonna stop watching this...
*ehh* i'm still watching this
*clicks stop* ahh finally free!!!
Overall:
do yourself a favour
DON'T WATCH THIS!!!
thank you
