4.0 out of 5 stars Yay, another OAV without prerequesite manga! Jan 7 2004
Format:DVD
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".

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but incomplete Feb 26 2003
By Amber
Format:DVD
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars uhg Feb 22 2003
Format:DVD
Gestalt? Ok. I was first attracted to this anime by seeing an add for it on another Animeworks DVD. The artwork is absolutely beautiful! The colors are bright and its very easy to understand what's going on. (Unlike X the movie where everything is far to dark to see anything.)
Ok, ok so the animation was great... but that still doesn't make up for the plot. (Huge sigh) I have to say I was incredibly disappointed in Gestalt, and regret ever buying it. I would return it if I had kept the receipt. In my opinion, I hated it, I own it and have only watched it once (any more then that and I would probably die) but this is just my opinion.
Also, I wasent quite fond of any of the characters, (I didn't even bother to remember any of there names) but after all there cant be much character development in such a short anime. (This is short mind you)

Sorry if I haven't helped you at all in your decision. Many people have found this to be a great series and wish for it to be longer. Personally I wouldn't care if there was more or not. I just didn't find it intrusting at all.

Beautiful animation, but that's all it Gestalt really has to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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... Read more

I am confused as to whether this video is a movie or a series. It ended as though a continuation is supposed to pop up in the local anime store sometime soon. Read more
