Somebody already said it before, but this show feels like one of those nightmares where you feel like you're stuck in molasses and can't move or do anything.

Meh, too much faffing about yelling at each other, not enough interesting bits. That left hook was killer though :) I'm getting bored of this...

All of them are annoying, just standing there shouting at each other and not doing anything at all. The pacing is too slow. They were on that bridge for the whole episode and nothing barely happened.

I so hope that annoying little know-it-all fucktard dies.

Urgh, Ryota is still annoying as always. I'm kinda hoping he dies.

The biggest problem I'm having with this series is that the flatness of the characters is just too unrealistic. I find it hard to believe after watching someone's head explode and being teleported via a laser beam to a random location, you'd have a hard time believing that you have to play along with the scenario you've been placed in.

Also this is feeling like Dragon Ball Z. HEY LET'S DISCUSS POORLY WRITTEN BACKSTORY AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THAT MY POWER LEVEL IS HIGHER THAN YOUR POWER LEVEL BUT MY SUIT IS GONE BUT THEN WE SPEND FIFTY HOURS YELLING AND... oh look at that end of the episode see you next time.

I agree with everyone that this there is too much yelling and not much actually going on. It's like DBZ.

Slow pacing, but weirdly it's not a hassle watching it and I wanna watch the next episode. Far from perfect, but it's somewhat addictive. I can't justify giving the series up until now around a 6, but I still pretty much enjoy it.

I know what's the problem with this anime... It's too slow. I like it: I like the plot, I like the idea, I like the... game/Gantz thing, I love the soundtrack and I certainly love the graphics, the characters aren't too good, but not that bad either - BUT the thing is, it's too slow, the action is too slow, even the blood scenes are too slow sometimes. I'd like it to be a little more...dynamic, more badda boom badda bing badda boom...

I didn't expect Nishi to call out 'Help me'... come on, that's so not like him, or I'd like it not to be like him.
And what's the deal with Kato? Oh, let's help the guy! Did he think much about that? I'm starting to dislike Kato as much as I dislike Big Tits and Nishi -gosh, I hope he doesn't disappoint me.

Also... mhm, I'd be pleased if they'd do less talking and more killing.

I've been doing a marathon of this show and god, it really just tires you out. It... moves... so... slow. I think it'd be less noticeable and easier to withstand if on a week-by-week basis, but it becomes super apparent when you watch episodes back to back. I don't hate the show, but I'm far from falling in love with it. They spent the whole episode on that bridge! I don't need giant explosions and rivers of blood in every episode or anything but let's see some of that action we (or I, anyway) were promised! Enough of this DBZ nonsense where it takes three episodes to say WHOA SOMETHING IS TOTALLY ABOUT TO HAPPEN JUST WAIT FOR IT WAIT FOR IT WAIT FOR IT and then FINALLY whatever you were waiting for happens.

Also the Suzuki alien's voice totally reminds me of THIS:

They really humanized that leader of the bike gang in the anime. Here he comes off as an almost likable character that learned some moral dignity by having a child, while in the manga he's just as insufferable as his bike 'friends' with no redeeming qualities.

At least that's one thing I think the animation did better. Too bad most of the other stuff is pretty mediocre, which is a shame because they have good material to work with.

BORRRRRIIIINGGGGGG. Can we PLEASE just see people try to fight aliens/robots? I didn't want to see everyone yelling at each other while standing on a bridge. Ugh this is getting fucking stupid. Worst episode yet.

I wish everyone would stop complaining about the pacing. It's kinda annoying. Time flies when you watch this.

The biker guy kinda confuses me but whatever.

Also, can't we just beat the "game" with kindness?

Yeah, Kurono, the fucking stoplight is going to prevent the Suzuki alien from kicking your horny ass.

Even the dog is wearing a suit LOL

KATO HUGGED KISHIMOTO KEI! It's official! My OTP is alive! :D Fuck you, Kurono.

Ryota went from crying like a spoiled child to being fascinated by Suzuki Alien and Nishi.

I love Nishi but it was fun to see him suffer, see karma bite him on the ass for being a tool towards everyone in the Gantz room and being unapologetic until his last moments. Tetsu is so different in the Anime that I can't get over it. If he were only like this in the manga too.

Unsurprisingly, Kato is the one who jumped in.

Katou is such a nice guy. I don't think I could help someone who just berated me not long ago. I will enjoy watching him die even if I will also die in the end. Haha

Well most of the Gantz team are pretty much spectators, no wonder Nishi had that kind of attitude....

Robot Rock Lee sure gave Nishi a pretty bad time....is this where the viewer supposed to realize how hard the enemy is is or to realize how lame Nishi actually is ?
