Manga is boring, wiki overviews told me enough about it. Enough for me to want more Gantz!
Takeshi:
Ew, I know I should probably watch the whole show before commenting, but I think I've gotten the gist of this show. Episode one was pretty exciting with the train and all, and of course the mystery of the show. I just finished episode two.
(click to show/hide)1. The animation is shit. It's just like Samurai Deeper Kyo, moving pictures. Example: When Kei is running on the track to go to Kato. Wow, he's just running in the same place, they just move the picture forward. Faces are pretty good-looking, but that's about it for the animation.. But this is maybe a good thing because then it doesn't seem as realistic as it would with BONES or Madhouse animating this.
2. I fucking don't have nerves to watch this extreme gore. I can perfectly understand why the TV version was censored. Actually, I'd probably be able to complete it then. I really don't, that's why I refuse to watch Saw, Hostel. I can't believe how people can watch this shit where bodies are torn, can you really watch this show and really like it? Plus, I actually like being able to sleep without having nightmares. I can take a lot of things, but mental stuff like seeing gore and hearing bones break is a no-no for me.
I was able to read Battle Royale, but that's maybe because that's manga and it's different, but man this show is borderline for me.
EDIT: Maybe I'll continue, dbml says:
--- Quote ---Ok, just finished it up. The two halves of Gantz were so completely different it boggles the mind.
The first half was slow as all hell, and at times I wanted to scream at the characters to tell the to just shoot the damn gun already! Gah. The first half pissed me off so much. I didn't need the backstory of all the new characters that got introduced. Waste of time. They could have done an entire alien battle in place of that garbage.
The second half is a whole different story though. I loved it! Much faster paced (for Gantz at least) and more action. It reminded me of Berserk more than anything, with how all of my favorite characters got killed off. The ending was... I'm not sure what it was. But it was brilliant regardless. For this series, it was the perfect ending. Not knowing if he lived or died, or what happened to Gantz... loved it.

That sounds pretty motivating knowing the second half is better.
Is the animation any better?................... .......The gore is still there, right? T_T

Haha. Sadly the animation doesn't get any better. And there's even more gore in the second half. Well, technically, it picks up a few episodes into the second half... but whatever.
(click to show/hide)In the first 14 episodes or so, all the characters just run around like a chicken whose head has been chopped off. They're afraid to fight. That changes around episode 15... I think. It was around there. That's where it turned from "meh" to "wow!"
LiquidZero:
i think every one should read the gantz manga. its fuckin crazy. and it looks really really good especially for a comic.
the show is good too, though it has its dry spots i still think its good. (especially the later half)
edit:and i like the gore!! i mean realistically speaking when someones head gots shot witha powerful assed gun it explodes a lot more vividly and violently then in the show (especially because of the brain matter everywhere). so i dont mind the gore, since it adds to the realizm and i didn't mind the animation either.
Humanoidz:
The manga just restarted and they're in the final act now. I think it's pretty exciting. It's definitely a vivid piece with lots of gore but I think it adds to the excitement and the extremism.
