3/5 Short But Sweet

This was an impulse buy for me because I really like the cover art, so I wasn't to sure about what I was getting. I am truly dissapointed because Gestalt has an interesting story with only 2 episodes on the dvd. The animation is very smooth and vibrant and the dubbing doesn't suck so its a real let down when you get to the end of the dvd and it ends just before the story really begins. I really enjoyed it so I wouldn't say don't buy it but you might not want to waste your money on it.

4/5 Great but incomplete

I loved it, but it left too many questions unanswered. Unfortunately, I don't think the series was ever completed. With the release of so much anime today, I hope that they will complete this one.

4/5 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".

4/5 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.
