History will one day tell the story of the heroes who braved stormy waters to finish the train-wreck known as Gibiate. I was one of those brave souls who awoke every morning to do battle with this series.
Very few shows are irredeemable. Even bad anime will feature fanservice or something to keep watchers interested. Gibiate could not even do that. Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief because I want to forget this anime as soon as possible. This was by far the worst anime ever made and I don’t mean that in a hyperbolic sense. There is genuinely not a single positive that I can think of in this show.
I suppose on paper, the story is somewhat interesting as it involves two samurai being transported to modern Japan which has been battling a virus that turns people into monsters. Reading that line is where you should end your involvement here. Please save your time. Gibiate is a glorified powerpoint slide with Japanese voices added to it. The animation, CGI and dialogue seem like something a 12 year old threw together for art class. The story wants you to take it seriously, but the absolutely abysmal production quality makes it hard to not laugh at every episode and the corny dialogue makes you question how the hell this thing even got green-lit. There’s been rumours that this show is an affront for the Yakuza to clean off their money and I really would not doubt it. It’s quite obvious that no actual effort went into the production of Gibiate, other than Kathleen’s design.
Frankly, this show is bad. It doesn’t improve as the episodes go on, it gets worse. The score that you see reflected for it here on MAL is accurate. It is absolute garbage and should never be viewed, unless you’re drunk and want to laugh. Gibiate is one show i pray I’ll be able to scrub from my memory soon. It gets 1 out of 10.
