Gantz sure has a strange way of picking who goes on the missions. A kid and his grandma? Does it just pick a bunch of people who just happen to die at the moment it needs them?

Funny enough.

The person who did an abridged series for Gantz made it a Canadian Rock Lee.

At least the dog is happy, neh?

Nice episode. I hope the next one is even better. I get the feeling this is going to get better, actually. I like it.
But what's the deal about Kurono and the Big Tits girl? dude, really! he gets horny from 5 to 5 seconds. It's creepy and some sort of gross, while being hilarious all the same.

Kato is ...well, Kato. I'm not really into him. He's sort of soft, if we think about it, but... well that's contradictory if we remember the scene with the butt-fucker dude, in the bathroom when he kicked the hell out of the rapist... dude, yeah, it was cool, but Kato seems soft either way, maybe because he's a good guy.
and Kurono is the perv one. And he doesnt have his suit. What's he gonna do? Mhm!!

I like the other guy... can't remember his name: the one that keeps the suit on him... the crazy bastard that likes killing and watching people get killed? yeah, he's cool.

I'm looking forward to the next episode.

The soundtrack rocks!!

Finally got to see some people die again, rather than normal everyday life like the last few episodes. However, it took a whole episode to bring the people to Gantz, but at least it can finally start again.

This show doesn't mind taking it's time, eh? I don't mind getting to know some of Gantz's contestmants before their untimely demise, though. Should make this next game more interesting. I don't have high hopes for most of the bikers to survive, or the old lady and her grandson. Also I think the "pretty boy" looks too much like Kei. I actually thought it was him when they introduced the character in the last episode. The next episode should be good, but of course Kei already screwed up and forgot his suit!

Poor Bigtits can't seem to leave the house (or stay inside Kei's for that matter) without someone trying to get a handful.

HAHA fuck you Kurono! Kishimoto Kei loves Kato. It's canon, she said it.

Kurono is more concerned about Kishimoto Kei hiding behind Kato when these random bikers are threatening to RAPE her. Kurono's priorities are fucked up. He's definitely a potential rapist and all around asshole. I don't care what anyone says.

Suzuki alien lowkey be looking like Jackie Chan.

HAHAHA fuck you, Kurono. Suit-less bitch.

I thought this show was about hunting aliens yet 4 episodes later and it was nothing but daily lives of unlikable forgettable characters... I thought the action would resume this episode but nope.

The new alien looked like a joke, and I'm not a fan of the 3 look alike buffoons... they literally have the same face and act the same way. Also the grandma and the child, does Gantz have zero standards and picks up random people to go hunt those aliens? Whole thing makes zero sense. You just know they are gonna be killed right away. And don't get me started on the laughable attempts of giving depth to these husks.

Kishimoto falling in love with a guy she barely knows and has only met once and acting like that is her sole new reason to live now, yet mere seconds ago she was babbling how she wants to be independent now... I'm loosing patience here.

Trao-kun the truck got em xD

I'm actully surprised that the anime gave characters going on the mission more screen time.

Sometimes I think Kato's brother is omniscient it's creepy how his character is emotionless and just knows about Kato's situation.
This episode gave final destination vibes it was a little shocking seeing the new contestants chime in for the next mission.
Kato, Kei, Kishimoto and Nishi are joined by a new group of participants that are as clueless as them in the beginning.
I wonder what the mission's target entails, it looks a little uncanny almost like a doll.
