I totally agree that the song was lovely, but personally I thought Alex looked awful in that dress. While there have been a few shows I've dropped because of the ridiculous giant tits on the female characters, up until this point Alex's character design was at least tolerable and the story is good enough that I can overlook this glaring flaw. But in this episode the way she was drawn was just beyond the pale. It totally ruined the second half of the episode for me.


This might be another one then. Alex's tits ain't shrinking.


No, they got bigger. As others have pointed out, I think she was drawn of model this episode. Her tits aren't even the same size in those two screen caps from my above post!

Wow, Alex can sing really well. I liked a calmer atmosphere.

I'ts sad people are picking on twilights though. Also, there was no reason to make Alex's oppai that big.. I think they went overboard with it.

What a classy episode. I like how the preview have the song distorted. Future tensions between Alex and her brother?

I keep being amazed by every episode.

Alex's scenes with Nic and Worick respectively were very touching, I loved when Nic made her feel safe.

Alex was really pretty when she sat by the window singing. It was nice to see the good things Cristiano family does for Twilights.

Alex's song was really nice and set a really good mood for the other things happening.

Wonder if the hoodie guy is her brother.

All about Alex this week it seems.

I hope this isn't a trend for the future episodes. I'm already starting to get bored as I watch, so this would distract me even farther.

A more Alex centered episode, that song btw was beautiful. The anti-twilights are causing problems and I’m looking forward to see how this will escalate from there, especially after seeing Erika and that psycho kid in the end. On a final note I’m guessing the kid they didn’t let inside the club was Alex’s brother? Well, as obvious as that might be I’m looking forward to see how that will develop as well.

Pretty good episode, I almost sure that the hood guy is her brother. Worrick had a good idea to invit Alex, now she knows a lot of other good guys.

It was a nice buildup episode, Worrick and Nicolas started to save the twilight. I wonder how Nicolas will be "punish" later, because it's forbidden to hurt an human.

Some parts of the episode had lower quality animation, but I could see where the budget went. Enjoyed Alex's performance, had some really nice touches with the smooth drumstick hits, etc.
Pretty sure the guy in the hood who was trying to get in was her little brother.

Man, what a beautiful song, and the way it was presented was equally as beautiful, if perhaps a bit tragic, showing what was going on in the streets during it. Really fantastic scene, perhaps my favorite of the series yet.

I'm really curious to learn more about Alex's past now, too, with them showing what I assume is her & her little brother.

Also, I'm already liking Constance. The boob grope as a greeting was pretty hilarious, and she seems like that fun, outgoing kind of character (who also seems like she could probably kick a lot of ass). Excited to see more with her.

Alex's singing saved the episode for me. I'm so mad, so many important moments and introductions were squandered by weak art/animation.. come on, Mangalobe, work with me here..
this was supposed to be an important episode too.. I won't say much as a manga reader, but dang this adaption is slipping. I just hope that this was the weak episode to make way for better ones.
but at least I have some good tunes to listen to whenever I'm reading new Gangsta chapters.

excited for next episode though, bring on the action and more character introductions.

There were a few too many 'comedic' moments in this episode for me. I don't mind comic relief - there have, in fact, been a few moments in the show that are funny, and they worked well - but the ways they tried to be funny in this episode were not great, at least in my opinion.

This anime has never struck me as contrived until today. Oh, Alex starts thinking about her brother for the first time in who-knows-how-long, and a mysterious, hooded (male!) figure shows up in town. I wonder who that could be? Seriously, if that's her brother, then that will really annoy me. Hopefully they're just trying to trick us.

Does anyone else feel like Alex hasn't really done anything yet? She's cried a bit, and I can completely understand that she's going through the motions right now (some very tough motions, if I may add), but plot-wise, she's pretty useless, unless I've forgotten about something. In this episode, she felt like a fanservice character. I hope she does something of note soon.

I don't really like to make a big deal out of animation (unless it's brilliant), but at certain times in this episode it seemed a little lacking, a little static.

Overall, I'm rather disappointed. I loved the song, though.

Some characters are just there to be eye witnesses.

Some are, perhaps, but they cared enough about her to give her such a sad story, so why can't they give her something to do? She just feels... separate. It's like she stepped out of a different story.

I certainly like her - she's well-written - but I'd just like her to do something :P

Also, I wouldn't be calling to attention to it if they hadn't used her for so much fanservice in this episode. It's almost like they know she's pointless, so they decided to give us something to talk about :D

Alex was lovely this episode, she seemed like a completely new person while she was singing. Gangsta is doing a great job at showing rather than telling, particularly that moment when Alex's brother heard the song from outside of the club.

Kawaiii ! really loved that dress on alex, also the episode told a little more about the four big mafia families in the city of Ergastulum :
-The Paulklee Guild supplies Tagged mercenaries to a wide variety of clients
-The Corsica Family smuggles weapons into the city and also runs the sex industry within the city.
-The Monroe Family deals with commerce.
-Within the city, the Cristiano Family's sole responsibility is distributing Celebrer to the Twilights.
Also something tells me that the black guy in the hood may be Alex's brother !
I got a strange feeling that the next episode will be so ...
I'll damn miss this anime !

The brother appeared quite fast. Next episode looks like things may get bloody with that girl and the shota killers deciding to act.
