They completely skipped chapter 18 D: and they're taking out some funny/cute parts and complexity of plot...I won't complain too much though, they can only put in so much, I guess.

So there were plenty of art/animation hiccups in this episode. Hopefully it's because they're saving up for the awesome fights to come.

Alex's voice is so pretty!

I love how this episode focused a lot on Alex. The song she sang was beautiful and reminded her of her brother. The guy in the hoodie trying to get into the bar was most likely her brother too; so close yet so far.

That jazz song by Alex reminded me of Kekkai Sensen's in-song On My Own - Ai Ninomiya. Gonna look forward for this series' OST!

Obviously the guy in a hoodie is Alex's brother. The song Alex sang is very soothing. The first part really sounded like White Houston's song "Saving all my love. The animation in this ep is pretty bad though.

Totally different atmosphere from the rest, previous episodes. Alex's singing definitely was a highlight. I just leaned back on my bed, relaxed & let myslef enjoy the gorgeousness, the beauty of the scene. The song was so beautiful, so sweet & heartwarming...I was literally melting and slightly blushing <3
It is shown that in this episode Alex reveales that she has a younger brother and her memories about him are blurred. While she sang the song, those memories finally cleared & we get to know that, actually, Alеx had been singing that song to her brother in their childhood. I loved the flashback of her embracing her brother while he cries & she sings that song to calm him down. Such adorableness :') <3
I assume that the next ep gonna concentrate on a reunion of the siblings. I have always liked/loved(and still do) stories about siblings & how possibly strong their bonds are. Well, for me, those stories are much better than the lovely-dovely ones.

Quite moved to see Nico and Worick care about Alex. Especially like the moment with Nico; that was such a gentle move.
Tbh it saddens me when Alex cries. I hope she somehow gets out of the mess she's in & be happy.

Lovely episode. 5/5

OKAY REALLY BUMMED OUT THAT THEY DIDN''T SHOW THE LITTLE MINI FIGHT THAT NIC AND WORICK HAVE WHILE FIXING UP THE SHOP. (This made me laugh my ass off)

Also, that singing was so damn perfect, only wish they got farther along with this episode, I hope they don't cut much from the next episode as so much has to happen. BE READY FOR NIC BEING TOTALLY AWESOME/BADASS.

I cannot say this enough, this anime of the season if not year, everything is top-notch and I cannot find anything to complain about (REALLY WANTED THAT FUNNY FIGHT BETWEEN NIC AND WORICK THOUGH LOL)

100/5

OKAY THE DUB VER IS NOT HALF BAD, ALTHOUGH ALEX VO IS TERRIBLE BUT THE REST SEEM DECENT GOING OFF OF EP.2

This was the most chill, coolest episode of Gangsta yet. I'm in love with Alex's voice, loved that song so much. And yeah, it's obvious the dude in the jacket is Alex's brother. We'll get to know more about Alex next week, which is nice.

I've had Japanese women do this to me before. Bitches I don't even know who just decide to cop a feel. It's not funny or sexy. It's fucking annoying. I literally wanted to reach through my screen and punch Connie in her dumb face.

Alex was a bombshell in that white dress & she has a lovely voice. I'm so glad the song wasn't in ENGRISH.




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.

I really liked getting backstory on Alex, at least.
Although I could do without the groping and staring, and what the hell was that dress all about???

I like this show, but it's really problematic after all.

Didn't watch this but I was foolishly hoping on a really really long shot that they'd used Stand by Me like in the manga.
Obviously knew it wouldn't happen but it would have been majestic or just plain Engrish.

Alex looked so gorgeous in that dress and her song made all the chaos around with Worwick & Nic evacuating the tags rather charming & hopeful.

Also, major props to the Cristiano family for protecting the tags like that, even though they're supposedly not supposed to intervene. Team Cristiano & Moonroe all the way.

This cute sad episode scared me a lot, as if it is an introduction to horrible things ahead.
I don't feel good for Nic and Worrick against that twilight killer girl :(

More focus on Alex, such a beautiful voice.
Her brother was right there!!! This much close! I hope they reunion soon

That dress was like the least elegant formal dress ever lol.
Not saying she looked bad, nor should I have assumed Worick would have gotten something super classy. Haha

But still.

Other than that, I enjoyed this episode as always. I really hope the good vibes keep coming from the show. My top 10 is looking pretty dusty.

For a moment, when Alex was first having flashbacks about her brother and the nervous breakdown in the gun shop, I thought could Nicolas be her long lost brother. It was because of the way the camera immediately switches over to Nicolas just as her brother is in her mind. They really started focussing on Nicolas and Alex a lot in that scene but perhaps it was just to emphasise that they do have a caring bond between them and to build up for his comforting gesture to her.

Later in the episode when the hooded boy approached the Bastard club and reacted to the singing of Alex my suspicions turned completely to the hooded mystery.

I liked this episode as it really captured the plight of the Twilights in this city with Alex's beautiful song. Again, not a very action-packed episode for us lovers of staring in awe at Nicolas' amazing fighting skills.

But it was another great episode for fleshing out more of the underworld of Ergastulum and giving us an inside look at how the Cristiano family operates and their cute leader.

Alex in that cocktail dress was the only reason to watch this episode. Not surprising though, since the name of the damn episode was "evening dress".

I don't care about Twilights, anti-twilights, or anything while she's rocking that dress and singing, lol.

so what are those twilights ? are you born a twilight ? i thought that anyone can be one if they take those make me a super human drug


I think one needs to take the drug. This line "I'm sure you're afraid of them because you don't know about them" and rather defenseless twillights appearing this episode makes me think they are victims of some experimentation (to create super soldiers) with low success rate. An A or B level might be insanely strong but a D is not that different from a normal human being (Delico), maybe even handicapped due the 'price' they have to pay. Some incident in the past has led to a faction hating all the twillights due to some monsters.


Drugs keep them alive. Yeah they are creatures of super soldier experimentation like Captain America, and apparently can pass their genes to the next gen.
