Gilgamesh at first is a rather difficult series to get into, and quite slow moving, but keep in mind that like many other things, anime and otherwise, this is simply a means to bring the story into full perspective.
With Gilgamesh containing two warring groups, one who is trying to destroy the world and the other trying to possibly save it (and there isn't even a hint yet at which is which) it is a similar theme seen in a number of things.
Gilgamesh isn't necessarily a series for those that want action immediately, but if you're looking for a series that is going to keep you trying to second guess what's going on, this is it.

The previous volume left fans hanging with the promise of yet another battle between Orga and Gilgamesh, and this time Tatsuya would be involved for the first time, and it's the perfect opportunity to test what he's learned with his Dynamis.
The members of Gilgamesh however have never been ones to put themselves in a losing situation, and when things look bad, or they have at least said there peace as the case really ends up being here, they teleport away.
There also is becoming a little more disobedience with the children and it seems that the Countess may slowly be losing control of them, and that really would be all for the better as she really doesn't seem that she should be trusted to any great length.

 Anime Reviews
Gilgamesh's series tagline, "Whose side are you on?", is apt and significant.
Gilgamesh's bloodless look is strikingly unique, so much so that it may take a couple of viewings to realize how minimal the animation is, even during fight sequences: Characters in combat tend to stand perfectly still as forces shimmer around them, and the camera often cuts away just before the resulting explosion.
Gilgamesh is worth watching just for its many visual and textual novelties: Series this consistently grave and adult are as rare as series with such an unusual design.

 Gamerz-Edge Gilgamesh Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Alas, the audio section… To my surprise the English Dub of Gilgamesh is not bat at all, and to add a little extra spice to the mix it is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1.
And the outside case is kind as cool too, the presentation overall on Gilgamesh is top notch, but definitely not a “special mega awesome directors cut edition” that we are constantly seeing these days.
Gilgamesh is definitely not your ordinary anime, its different but not in a bad way.

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Gilgamesh
When it becomes apparent that the tomb of Gilgamesh may in fact have supernatural properties, a huge research facility is built on top of it and many of the world’s brightest scientist flock to this "Heaven’s Gate" to advance mankind’s knowledge.
These men are more than they appear, as they are dangerous creatures called Gilgamesh and allies of the terrorist who caused Twin X, a man who now has named himself after King Gilgamesh’s legendary best friend, Enkidu: the same man who also happens to be their father.
As my summary shows, the actual personage of Gilgamesh is important to the story, but this is not exactly a retelling of the legend, even if there are certain interesting thematic links brought up as the story progresses.

 Anime DVD Review: Gilgamesh: Orphans of the Apocalypse (Vol 1 of 8)
Gilgamesh is a stylish, post-apocalyptic anime that is very loosely based on ancient Mesopotamian civilization and one of the oldest known stories, the Epic of Gilgamesh.
This terrorist, dubbed Enkidu after the enemy-turned-friend of Gilgamesh in the Epic of Gilgamesh, contaminated the research facility with Tear, a mysterious form of non-material energy found in Delphys, which lead to a major explosion and the changing of the Earth's atmosphere.
Soon, the Gilgamesh, determined to retrieve the children, attack the Countess' mansion and another battle ensues.

Some may be familiar with the The Epic of Gilgamesh, a 12-clay tablet story from 7th century BC Babylonia featuring the part god, part human Sumerian ruler Gilgamesh, his wife Shamat, and his friend Enkidu.

In fact, a genre slowly establishing itself within anime is the anime-parody genre; the cliches are so obvious that a number of series are cashing in on them for a few laughs.
Gilgamesh is supposed to be a creepy show, but the soundtrack is like something from a really cheesy, fl and white 50's horror flick.
The mood and feel of Gilgamesh is obviously very apocalyptic and dark and the very drab colors and use of shadow in the show is applicable.

Tatsuya and Kiyoko learn that the monsters they met are called Gilgamesh, and the young agents who fought them are the Orga.
Of all the world civilizations and mythologies that have been adopted into anime, ancient Babylon might be the last one left untouched.
That's no longer the case in Gilgamesh, which takes its cue from the old Mesopotamian culture and uses the original Gilgamesh legend as a basis for a modern-day thriller.
