The main thing for me when it comes to GANSTA. is that it makes me miss Black Lagoon more but I like that. It'll definitely make me go watch it again.
Ahh, yeah, I can understand that. And on the flipside, perhaps Black Lagoon and Baccano are informing my opinions a bit too much and taking away from my ability to enjoy it. I get the impression that if this was the first series I saw done in such a way, I'd probably have a lot of good things to say about it. But having seen stuff like that as well as stuff like Darker than Black and Kara no Kyoukai, it just doesn't have anything new to offer me... ...and what it does have to offer has been done better in those four shows, imo.
It's hard to distance yourself from those sorts of observations.
I want to watch all 12 episodes for GANGSTA. before I fully make an opinion on it. I don't feel that basing off a little bit of the series is entirely accurate unless it's like that to the end.
Fair enough. I'm just not sure if I'll finish it based on what I've seen so far. I wouldn't say it's bad. For what it's worth, it's a solid effort. I can't fault it for being exactly what it's meant to be.
I'm just not getting a whole lot of enjoyment out of it atm. It's kind of boring me. I'm not as interested in it as I thought I would be. I don't have much to say about it, good or bad. And if I don't finish it, then my views on it will remain as just that.
I give every show that I take up a fair chance to capture my interest, but if it doesn't manage to do so by the time I've gotten a bearing on what it's about and what it's trying to do, then I make a judgement call on whether or not to drop it.
There's too much out there to watch for me to sit and watch something that's doing nothing for me. I will never say that those shows are bad. I agree that it's not accurate or particularly meaningful to engage in that approach. The weight of opinions are based largely on how well-informed they are. Just because a show doesn't suit my sensibilities enough for me to finish it doesn't mean I think it's bad. I don't have have enough information to support the latter viewpoint, so I won't go there.
