Member Review
Gilgamesh follows the story of two siblings and their search for the truth behind their father known as Enkidu. The plot is filled with spooky revelations and intriguing twists at every corner.

Most of the characters in Gilgamesh appear to be very dark people. As the story progresses, the viewer will find that the characters are not as they appear and some of their plans, however devious, remain hidden for the duration of the series.

Unconventional is the only way that the animation of Gilgamesh can be described. The viewer may feel uncomfortable for the first few episodes due to the odd animation style; it undoubtedly takes some getting used to. The animation is not very sharp and makes use of pastel character coloring mixed with dark backdrops. The use of CG is very subtle throughout the series and is done skillfully and very tastefully.

I have mixed feelings about Gilgamesh. Aside from feeling like I was forcing myself to watch this series at some points, I was captivated by the storyline and the characters. After I completed the series, I had an indescribable feeling of fulfillment and disbelief. I believe that the last few episodes made the entire series well worth my time. The story told in Gilgamesh is a solid thriller with an abundance of suspense and action.

Overall score: 8.1/10

Characters
Madoka Kiyoko
Kiyoko is about seventeen and was born before the Twin X terrorist attack, so she doesn't have the ability to use the Dynamis. However she played a very important role in the series. She acts as a surrogate mother to Tatsuya and has a hard time accepting the Countess's help, because she feels like the countess is trying to take her brother away from her.


Madoka Tatsuya
Tatsuya is a clone of Terumichi Madoka but was given birth to be his wife Azusa and is therefore considered a son of Terumichi and a sibling of Kiyoko. He is about thirteen years old and can use the Dynamis. He is extremely attached to his sister, as she is the only family he really has, his mother having descended into madness or depression following Twin X. He trusts the Countess more than his sister does, and assimilates with the ORGA very easily, but he sometimes has trouble following the Countess's orders.


Kageyama Hiroko
The Countess's real name is Hiroko Kageyama, and she had been employed at Heaven's Gate working closely with Madoka. She became the Countess after marrying a wealthy scientist and Count she worked with, because the man she loved, Terumichi Madoka, was already married and had a daughter. When the Count died in Twin X, she inherited his immense fortune. She appeared to be the only survivor of the attack and lay in a coma for a few years before deciding to find the children who could use the Dynamis.


Octo
Octo (Eight) has ice blue eyes and dark brown hair cut just above his chin, and bangs. He is one of the three first introduced and is the one to significantly make five cups of cocoa instead of three. Octo is the most gentle of the Gilgamesh with the possible exception of Novem, and likes animals, as illustrated when he is seen feeding the seagulls popcorn shortly before his death.
