There's no pay off!
Would not recommend to a Psychological anime lover. Great nudity and violence though!
This anime is very flat.
Pros: nudity, violence, animation, English Dub is spot on, great voice acting in both jap & english versions and social commentary (the first four episodse make you question what does humanity really mean? What makes us human? What does "human nature" mean? Why do some people stand up for others? While some people move aside to see their fellow man fall to the ground, without so much as an 'are you okay?' 'Do you need help?'
I liked that... I found it deep, intriguing and topical.
Con's:
...
Storyline is flat. There's main character, character development but the majority of the episodes and series are spent in the "Gantz" room. Time spent here is full of arguments and time wasting.
Barely any rules of the "game" are explained so you feel like you are watching a series with no purpose.
Not knowing why they are in the room, who calls them there, why they were chosen in the first place really begins to become frustrating after 6 episodes, so imagine 21 episodes in and not getting those basic questions answered. It becomes irritating! The concept is easy to understand without those pressing questions being answered though, which is why I say this anime is not a good one at all for Psychological/mystery fans. As it also fails at diving deep into the mental state of the characters.
Its very 'on the surface'
There's no reward for watching this other than the nudity because the ending doesn't quite make sense and you feel you've wasted your time.
There's no pay off!
Would not recommend to a Psychological anime lover. Great nudity and violence though!
