The Most Beautiful Anime!!!!!
Gestalt has the most gorgeous artwork!!! This anime has a lot of criticism about story line (the reason for it is that there is manga published prior to it), and it is true there are a couple of moments where they should've speeded up the story. The dub is horrible, they use those high pitch, squeaky voices for some of the characters, so I suggest watching it in Japanese. And if you wont put subtitles in, at least the first time you watch it, it adds a lot of mystery to the show and you will truly enjoy watching it.(really!) If you are the person who ever bought something because it looked absolutely beautiful (even though that was not the reason why other people would buy it), Well, than this one is for you!!! The DVD included trailers and small art gallery.

Yay, another OAV without prerequesite manga!
I love the way the American translation companies think they can translate OAV series that don't cover a whole series without confusing and annoying many people.

I, like many others, bought this anime because the box art was pretty. And while I admit that I was disappointed with the short length, I still enjoyed it. Its not so much that the plot is incomplete, as its just not fully introduced. What is covered by these two episodes is essentially the first two chapters in a seven volume series.

After watching Gestalt, I did a little research on it. Sifting through massive amounts of Gestalt therapy pages (o_O talk about a pain in my bum), I was rewarded with information on the lovely manga that spawned this annoyingly short OAV. I found out it was based on a manga by the wonderful Kouga Yun, who, for some reason, has this problem which her long running series getting crammed into short OAV series (go watch Earthian and you'll know what I mean). I also discovered that there was no prayer (at least at that time- its not impossible now) of getting a translation of the manga over here- Gestalt, like Earthian, is a shonen-ai series.

Now, I'm not going to say why it is, because that would be a huge major spoiler. But it annoyed me none the less. But what with Gravitation and FAKE being released over here, its actually not completely unlikely that we'll be seeing something of Kouga Yun's translated soon, Earthian at the very least.

Eh, anyways, I don't think there's anything in here that would really offend anyone- the plot hasn't gone into shonen-ai territory yet, and I didn't notice anything else about it to be particularly "iffy".

Good but incomplete
Gestalt is a beautifully done show that is entertaining, action-filled, and humorous. Unfortunately, it has not been finished. We are left with several questions and the sense that there is more to the story.

On the bright side, the character designs are awesome and the story is fairly original. I like how Ohri, being a mute at the beginning, has to speak with those boxes that RPG game characters use. Cute!

If you have ever seen (or heard of) the video game series/OAV series "Angelique", then you will find that some of the characters (just Olivier, really) look like a cross between several "Angie" characters. My best friend pointed that out and I have never been able to watch it Gestalt without thinking that.

So, please watch this, but understand that it is NOT the whole series.
