Ugly character designs & low production standards (to my eyes, anyway) didn't help Gilgamesh create a good first impression. Read on to see if it got any better from there...
Damn, but the artwork & designs in this show are really bad, to the point where it was just about all I could think of while I was watching. That's not a good sign. Anyway...
Cue your typical post-apocalyptic setting - a terrorist attack
triggers the "Twin-X" phenomenon, leaving the earth's computers
unusable & the sky a strange colour. Skip forward a few years &
we spend most of the first episode following a brother & sister
(Tatsuya & Kiyoka), on the run from loan sharks. They eventually
end up in what looks like your good, old-fashioned haunted house,
complete with strange experiments, whose owners do away with the Bad
Guys. Cue end of episode, with no indication having been given of what
the show's about.
Episode 2 picks up from where we left off. Sadly, it also carries on
being slow, dull, badly presented & uninteresting. By the end of
the episode all we know is that Tatsuya and Kiyoka are important for
reasons unknown, and past that the details of any ongoing story, or
even any real details of the setting, have yet to be filled in.
So, another slow show, with unlikeable characters & a reluctance
to give you any real information as to what's going on. Sounds like Avenger all over again - except that at least Avenger has a decent sountrack going for it. Gilgamesh doesn't even have that. Pass... |
