GANGSTA. English Sub & Dub

About GANGSTA.

GANGSTA. blends action and drama by Manglobe (2015). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: In the metropolis of Ergastulum, a shady ville filled with made men and petty thieves, whores on the make and cops on the take, there are some deeds too dirty for even its jaded inhabitants to touch. Enter the "Handymen," Nic and Worick, who take care of the jobs no one else will handle.

More of the story: Until the day when a cop they know on the force requests their help in taking down a new gang muscling in on the territory of a top Mafia family. It seems like business (and mayhem) as usual, but the Handymen are about to find that this job is a lot more than they bargained for.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Nicolas Brown (Kenjirou Tsuda) and Worick Arcangelo (Junichi Suwabe) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
