So who else dropped gantz?
Meomix:
i dropped gantz at episode 5. I could sense it immediately the mood, characters, and setting failed terrifically.
First the main character was shit. we know your life sucks dont drill it into our faces. The characters were as indecisive as fuck, over 5 freaking episodes to shoot a fucking gun? Dude the idiot ball cant get any worse than this.
Secondly the characters felt like they had HEMORRHAGE DISORDER!!! Dude i can painfully see the 5 second pause between each sentence, hurry it up man whats wrong with you people? Cat cut your tounge!? the anime had that experiential lain / ghost hound atmosphere, as if im watching an 1985 chick flick.
I saved my self any remaining disappointment and dropped the buggar.
SykoDragon:
The random fuck scenes were funny other than that it was pretty retarded. Especially the ending and the whole ball thing.
maxxjulie:
i loved it. everyone i recommended it to loved it. you guys just aren't watching it the right way. drink lots of booze and silly things like plot and character development won't be missed. it's mindless fun with hot chicks and killing. what's not to like? i even bought the box sets after seeing the fansubs to show my support for this type of show. hopefully more mindless fun will be pumped out by the anime industry in the future.

fuck yeah man! gantZ has the ultimate form of plot fuckery but the action,chicks, and the characters "some of the time" go realy hard.
plus the manga is 12X better.

That being said, I just finished the series. I watched in two go's. #1= two eps, #2= the rest.
(click to show/hide)First Stage was pretty crappy with persons running around not knowing what to do. Second Stage was much better, and showed some cool stuff. I had earlier disliked the gore part but accepted it in my second run of the show, not that I enjoyed it, fuck no. It disgusted the hell out of me. This was my earlier remark about it:
--- Quote ---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 surprised at how far they had taken material from the manga. I thought they made stuff up since I thought Kato would survive because he's on the manga cover in the torrent here on BakaBT. I hated his indecisive actions, but he was still a likeable guy. Although his death was kind of pathetic. And Kishimoto's too. He just stands there, but Kishimoto is apparently running in super mode since he's in the same stance when she gets over to him! UGH.
The animation didn't become much better, in one episode it seemed like it was pretty nice, but most episodes seemed still-like.
The last arc/hunt came with an interesting twist, Kei being the alien? Nani? Nani? I thought it was kind of cool to see the people we've been seeing in between the other hunts suddenly having to participate in Gantz. Especially those two fuckers who beat those homeless guys up, I agree with Kei or whoever said it, compared to them, Gantz was nothing. I turned on the dub since I didn't really care much for following the ending. I just let it run in my right side while surfing in the left.
I must confess. I so wanted someone to kill that Priest guy, he was so fucking annoying with his crap. And I also wanted someone to kill several other characters.
I really see the wish to be drunk when watching this series, but unfortunately I have no beers and haven't for a while, not that I have any money for them. >_>
I don't know if I'll pick the manga up, maybe when I'm up-to-date on Fairy Tail and Psyren (lol, totally different franchises than Gantz). I have downloaded it from BakaBT some time ago, and I have read Battle Royale so I think I would be able to take it. Plus, since people say the manga is better.
All I can say if, don't watch this show if you are of the faint-of-heart.

It's funny how lightly Japan sees on ratings, they allow 15-year olds to watch Gantz while Spain, New Zealand, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Columbia recommends that viewers be 18-year old before watching Gantz. Although thinking that all who is at that age wouldn't be able to handle it might not be correct. But it's better to have some retrained from watching it, than having some damaged.
