[Anime] Gansta

Synopsis (taken off of MAL)

In the city 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. 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.

Two episodes in and I'm seeing a lot of potential. The show can be as brutal as I feel is needed for this type of setting, and a compete lack of censorship is refreshing. Visuals and sound are both far above average, with an amazing opening to top it off. Not too much of an overarching plot as of episode two, but you can see the wheels are starting to turn for some bigger things to come. Then add in the fact that I think Nicholas is the best character I've seen this year, and I'm fully expecting this to be my AoTS. What do people here think about the adaptation?

Currently holds the title of AOTS so far, but by all means no masterpiece. The art style is a bit wonky and the background looks bleak. Even Black Lagoon's Roanapour looked like a lively criminal's paradise.

This art style looks so familiar to me but I can't remember where I've seen it. Please halp.
Otherwise, I very much enjoyed the first episode. This it my kind of anime.

First episode was pretty enjoyable as far introductory episodes go. Hard to gauge how good it'll be from here on though seeing how I've never read the source material, but it has potential to be great.
