Gangsta

I really enjoy the opening theme

the last bit is the best imho.
it's been some time since I liked a OP this much.

This show has the worst physics-bending fight scenes.

I much prefer anything this show has to offer over exaggerated wire-fu though. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was such a turn off due to that effortless fighting.

[shinta|hikari]

The shoulder grab into random fly jump onto the roof was wire-fu.

[Buffalobiian]

edit: yes, that is very exaggerated.

Was pissed that the next episode hadn't come out yet after so much time passing until I noticed I skipped an episode, didn't see the release.

So here's episode 6:

Worick better get his hands off Nicolas' woman!

I wonder if Nicolas' is aware of who killed his mother (and if he cares considering his childhood).

Also curious about whom Nicolas' was dreaming, past lover or partner? She was wearing tags, so maybe the Twilight who's sick? References have been made to a woman prior to Alex being with them but it seemed like she was some regular woman, not a Tag, so curious about that.

It does answer a few questions I had prior to this episode, and of course makes me ask quite a few more.

[Kraco]

I guess the hospital girl isn't quite an ordinary girl in an unordinary city since she enjoyed so much those breakneck jumps with Nicolas. Maybe the wretched city has no amusement parks?

Worick had a really fucked up old man. He's surprisingly wholesome mentally considering everything he went through.

HS - Episode 08


--------------------------

Worick better get his hands off Nicolas' woman!

For the most part I think Worick does a better job of looking out for her. Nic does a few things here and there that seem important (like noticing her tremors today), but overall it still comes down to Worick making things smooth. He's just way more situationally aware - and I'm not even having a dig at Nic's lack of hearing here.

I feel that Nic gets Alex because he's the Asian MC.

I'm talking more in the context of Alex being Nic's woman (his "trophy" excuse he used to save her life) and how he's been introduced as that as that sub-sequentially.

So yeah, Worick better keep his hands to himself.

Anyways, episode 8 explained a bit more the role of the mafia here. It was an overall slow episode, though I feel for the dude that seems to be Alex's long forgotten brother and not being able to enter the bar.

Yeah. I thought he was a Tag at first so it didn't occur to me that he couldn't have entered. Any serious brother would camp the entrance though.

It's weird how Tags get targeted like they do. The only thing that distinguishes them visually is their tag (that they wear so obviously). The opposite should also be possible - that the Anti-Tags just take some tags themselves and infiltrate into functions like this to gather information.

Yeah, I think it's a series that purposely overlooks that aspect for the sake of plot/entertainment. So I'm not going to overthink it because it's ridiculous in the face of it with the information we have on our hands at the moment.

What's also bothers me is how seemingly weak they're. I guess I need to reassess what being a Twilight actually means.

It seems like they're genetically modified soldiers or something.. and there are a bunch of weak duds. The strongest ones paid some sort of compensation, but I'm not sure that's a willing process.

I enjoyed Alex's song. It was better than I expected.

I don't really get the mafia family's problems, though. The whole city is rotten, so the mafia should basically be the highest authority there. Of course if the Christianos are so financially troubled, that would limit their operations, but how bad can it be if they are still one of the four important families? It would make sense they could send a bunch of goons to patrol the streets around the bar. What sort of a mafia family can't even protect their own immediate turf? Any upstart competitor would get rid of them soon.

So, the tag issue wasn't the only flaw in this episode.

@Kraco - I can't believe you complained about Plastic Memories's contrived body reuse episode and not have a fit about Alex remembering his forgotten brother the very same episode he decides to visit.

@Everyone else - Nicolas is going for the tight and fresh loli. Stop making shit up.

It's certainly far too convenient, but I decided to ignore it for now because the dude never got close to Alex. So, it doesn't matter for now.

Hah, he was all over her from the beginning.

Ep9:

"Quality"

such a waste, the ep itself was pretty cool but wow, this felt like as if I was looking directly at their storyboard.
