Synopsis

Despite having seemingly returned to their normal lives, Kei Kurono, Masaru Katou, and Kei Kishimoto are forced back into the lethal game after Gantz's recent activity. The black sphere continues to summon recently deceased people to fight alien invaders. And having survived the two previous encounters, the trio are more than prepared for the upcoming missions.

As they progress through the tournament's stages, the three proceed in their attempt to earn 100 points, which is said to be the only way to leave the parallel dimension for good. However, with the constant onslaught of alien invaders and the threat of imminent death, they must first focus on the task at hand—immediate survival.

Background

Gantz has a plot that plows forward aggressively. Most of the times that it moves forward, a character does something stupid like stand around instead of shooting at an enemy or something similar to that. The show kills of its characters without much thought and often the characters die in ridiculous ways that could be easily preventable if not for some weird reverse-plot armor the show gives its characters. Maybe because of this, I never particularly cared when a character died.

What I found interesting about the show, however, and what kept me going, were the moments when they weren't fighting the aliens where a ...

Mixed Feelings
GANTZ made me think a lot. It looks like it's supposed to be for teenage boys, though it is labeled as "seinen". The story was interesting to me and it got even better. The second part of the show has a big surprise that I didn't expect. This makes it very exciting and interesting to watch. Keep in mind that the anime comes with grown-up topics like violence and blood. This show is rough and can be likened to an 80s Hollywood film. If you don't get upset easily and like a good story, then feel free to watch it.

A one-of-a-kind story is there where ...

TLDR: Bad writing, lazy animation, homophobic. This is not a good anime.

Even though this anime seemed to have a really interesting premise, the execution of said premise is extremely bad. The character writing is some of the most lazy and horrible writing I have ever seen. Imagine someone says to you "in 5 seconds a red car will pass you, in 30 seconds someone will magically appear in front of you, in 2 minutes a pickle will be eaten 15 feet infront of you, and if you walk in to that building you'll immediately die" Now let's say the first 3 things happen you'll be ...
