I think maybe if they walk away from the task they die by default since they're not going to cooperate. Anyways that's what I assumed, since the old politician didn't care and tried to leave.

What's-his-face took kinda long to die at the end....his freaking monologue just went on forever.

I never thought when I read this part on the manga that Kishimoto was such a screaming b*tch, my ears hurt... although the screaming kid was pretty obvius (still it adds more suffering to my ears XD)...

The manga is a kick-ass, I hope they throw a new season of Gantz some day ^^

I found the pacing of this episode too slow for my liking. The minutes seemed to drag on while I was watching and waiting for the episode to get on with it.

10 more points. So close, yet so far.

Yeah, that's what I think it is, too.
Also, way to lay on the sympathy points for the Nishi punk. Ugh, I was glad he died just so he'd shut up!

That Nishi dying scene was way too long. They should really hurry it up! I think that these past 3 episodes could easily have been in 1. Oh well. THat's 11 straight now!

Ultra slow.... I almost fell asleep watching it.

And where has that "Ring" stalker girl been for the last few episodes? I don't understand her purpose.

Is it just me or do these characters have no fucking common sense?

Fucking retards, this is the stupidest shit ever and im still watching it.

Like really? I tried to justify their actions by saying it was realistic and in real life u'd be to scared to do shit but no, they are just fucking dumb. No survival insticts at all.

ALL of them are dumb as shit. Even Nishi, fucking idiots. I wanna see more Gantz he might be the smartest one this entire series has to offer, or the friggin dog. Cuz no one else has sense.

SO dumb. Ugh im so irritated by their idiocy. The friggin creature doesnt even attack immediately, and who's dumb enough to be like WHAT DO I DO? U FUCKING TAKE THE GUN U GOT AND U SHOOT, U FUCKING SHOOT IF U WANNA LIVE AND GO HOME. SHOOT DAMNIT SHOOT, DONT CRY, BICKER AMONGST URSELVES, RUN, PEE URSELF, FRIGGIN SHOOOOOOOOOOOOT

^ This.


The characters act as if nothing unusual were happening, I mean, they woke up in an unknow place with a strange black ball, that black ball gives them weapons and a suit, then suddenly they are teleported and now there's a retarded-looking robot screaming and attacking a guy and they just stand there watching like everything is normal, there's nothing "realistic" in these attitudes.



Kurono: "Herp derp I can't save him, I don't have a suit" (It's not like he have a gun)

Kishimoto: "Waaaaah help him, waaaaaaaaaah, I have a gun and a suit who gives me strange powers but I can't save him waaaaaaaah"

Katou: "Omg what should I do? I'm probably the strongest one here, but I don't know if I should save him or not" - Then he jumps and watch while the robot kills Nishi because "he can't kill anyone" (Even if it's a robot)

Model guy: "Herp derp, can I go home?" (Acting like nothing is happening)

Old lady and kid: "What a cool robot!!11!!!1!!1111!" "Oh dear, poor kid, I'm going to call your mommy and we are going to eat some hamburgers ^^" (Again, acting like nothing is happening)

Bikers: "Haha lets just sit here and watch the robot kill that guy" (It's not like the robot is going to attack them after he kills Nishi"

Tetsu: "What is happening????" (lol)


Then, while Nishi is dying:

"Hey, if we kill the other alien we can save him!"

"Nah, lets just stay here and hear his last words"

And the animation is so bad, the scene when Nishi was running and the robot flying behind him was one of the worst animations ever.

Gosh... this is so slow. I like the anime, as I said, because of the idea, because of the plot and graphics and soundtrack... yeah, it's a good idea and all, this GANTZ thing, but the thing is the action is way too slow for my taste.
Even so, I have to say, this episode was a good one -compared to the others I guess.
I didn't expect Nishi to die.. but it was a good scene - even though the animation has a lot of mistakes, I guess.

What's good about this anime is people's stupidity and selfishness. The thing is... it's kind of true: people are like that, goddamn selfish and bastards, even though they want to seem they are not, they are; fucking bastards.

I liked something Nishi said: I didn't hate anybody... I hated society.
Bet you did, dude.

The little kid makes me wanna cut his neck with an axe. Dude! 'let's stay here and watch how the robot kills everybody, grandma' and his bunny-granny is something like 'yeah, sure, darling'. Fuck you, dudes.

Let's see what's next.

RandomBrandon pretty much summed up everything I though about this episode.

Nishi is dying and meanwhile they are thinking of a way to save him. They understand that there's another alien to kill and there's still time to save Nishi. Somebody (the girl I think) even said "Is there anything we can do?!?!?!?!" - but no, they just stand around the dying guy, doing nothing.

Hesitate? Son, they literally stood around for 20 mins, watching Nishi get beat and eventually killed. He kept telling them to catch the last guy so they can all go back and survive. Plus the three main characters know that from the last time.

I can't watch anymore of this garbage. It does suspense well, but the writing and script is such shit. No one's actions make any sense aside from maybe Nishi, the grandmother and the biker leader guy, and even then it's nonsensical at best. It's ironic this anime is about aliens, because it feels like an alien wrote this with only a fraction of understanding human behavior.

Wow, so Nishi bites the bullet? Didn't really expect that, I thought we still had a lot to learn from him. I'll admit he managed to score some sympathy from me as he bled out. Sure, he was an asshole up until that moment but I don't think I'd have much more patience dealing with these idiots either. Only ten points left...? I'm guessing once you rack up a hundred points, Gantz releases you and you're no longer called upon to kill aliens. You can return to a life of normalcy. And if you refuse to go along with Gantz, it will be spontaneously blow your head up.

I agree with y'all, some of these character's reactions are bizarre, frustrating, and simply unrealistic. They stand around a dying Nishi wishing they could help him, when we know that if they would go and kill the other alien then they'd all be beamed back into the room without a scratch!

Let the grandmother/grandson be next on the list of casualties... simply cannot STAND them.

Two episodes to go.

The animation severely lacked in this episode. And the pacing was slower than usual.

T ^ T I love you Nishi. You were just to cocky and too excited.

As for everyone else... they're all inept and retarded.

Meh, dragging out death scenes isn't my cup of tea, also the way they ruined Nishi's character archetype. I enjoyed his "I will kill you all", psycho killer vibe he was giving off, but then, screaming like a bitch towards the end... -_-

Also anyone else find themselves nearly screaming at the screen "Kill the fucking Bird- robot thing already" or maybe i'm crazy

Poor Kishimoto, she's crying out for people to help out her husband, Kato but they're ignoring her :( only when she stood up on the ledge did Kurono offer to go instead.

Thank goodness Kato finally used his suit's potential.

Bird thing covered in mucus and cum. Ugh, fucking disgusting. D: No wonder he got mad, Nishi killed his babies.

RIP Nishi, you were the only asshole that I liked. I agree with him, society is very fucked up. So he broke his neck after he committed suicide. Anyway, he said more during his death in the Anime than in the manga.

I will admit that the characters in Gantz are REALLY fucking stupid. But I'm actually glad that Nishi's final moments played out the way they did. It was slow but gave you more information about his character and his thought process. By no means does it redeem him, but it does make him a more understandable character. That one scene made me sympathize with a character I hated so I appreciate it despite it being lengthy.

Aside from his suit not working/malfunctioning/breaking, Nishi's death made zero sense. He's collected 90 points, so he must have played cautiously this far. Against greenonion he didn't appear until right at the end. But this time he appears before anyone has attacked and provokes the target, also did he not check his radar and notice there were 2?...

Kishimoto is such a screw magnet. Nearly every guy in the vicinity seems to want to hump her. Haha
Damn, I didn't want Nishi to die since I wanted to see what would happen once someone reached 100 pts.
Nishi is relatable in the end. I also despise society for their nonsense and for forcing me to do BS stuff.
