So far a great show, but could the pacing be any slower?

True, but it is relatively well paced in parts, though i felt they could have advanced it a bit further in this episode... oh well onto the next :P

I'm re-watching Gantz in it is just horrible, especially this episode. It does not hold up to a second viewing.

Finally! It's gonna get interesting again. I wonder if Kei will kill the robot guy this time.
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked.

Hmm... let's see, the dog is sick, really. Come on, give me a break.

I liked the episode, I guess.
But what's wrong with Big Tits? Dude, I so dislike her. She sees some blood and starts screaming and crying like... I don't know, like she's seen Michael Jackson come back to life. It's only some blood and some bike fucker who got killed. So what? say thanks you're not the one who got shot. Really, she pisses the hell out of me.

Let's see what's Kurono going to do about the fact that he got no suit... mhm!

What's the connection with horny dogs and office ladies?

I'm guessing that the "dumb biker" didn't shoot with both the triggers.
That pale guy is ruthless.

Ugh... this pacing! If I wasn't nearly finished with the first season I might actually consider dropping the damn show. I think I'll at least give it the benefit of wrapping up before I decide on whether I want to watch season two. This whole episode was dedicated to setting up Gantz's game and the new contestants but that's all information we already have! It looks like the hunt will HAVE to happen in 10, so onto the next one.

And yeah, the dog...? The fact that just about every character can't help but try and rape Bigtits the moment they lay eyes on her is getting really damn old.

I like this show so far but I agree with everyone else, the pacing is slow as fuuuuck. Not to mention Kishimoto being the biggest rape fanservice character ever.

Old lady has a bigger role in the Anime than she did in the manga.

Tetsu is so different from his manga counterpart. He's more "noble" in the Anime than he is in the manga.

Pussy-licking dog comes back with a vengeance.

They made a lot of changes in the Anime but I think they wanted to stretch the story and give the characters more backstory than just wham-bam bad guy, wham-bam good guy. However, no backstory will ever redeem Kurono even if he does develop as a character, he will forever be an asshole. I don't even feel sorry for him for forgetting his suit. Fucking crybaby.

Nishi taunted them more in this episode than he ever did in the manga. He's evil but I fucking love this motherfucker. He sounds way too old to be a middle schooler but he is fucking awesome. I wish he was the MC instead of Kurono, the bitch.

This episode is barely watchable. I've watched everything up to this point, being so close to dropping it, but it feels like the show is shoving me down the stairs trying to push me away from watching anymore.

Nishi being a nihilistic asshole, and snarky (sexist) cunt, rubbing why I don't like any of the characters in my face. Kurono is 1.) more worried about Kishimoto's tits than anything else again, and 2.) takes half the episode to say that he doesn't have his Super-suit, and keeps getting interrupted by everyone just so this episode can't drag on and piss everyone off. The biker guys are still getting pissed off at Katou for trying to make sure they don't fucking die, and Katou still doesn't understand everyone in this show is intentionally supposed to be an idiot or an abhorrent asshole (bless your soul Katou, you're the only one who isn't either of those to an annoying degree.) There's another scene where Kishimoto almost gets raped, again, and practically being, if you count the dog eating her out. I think someone already mentioned all of this, but this all is in about every other episode. The way everyone is portrayed as either an awful or useless person is so hard to watch when it's done in such an unrealistic and cynical way.

And also there's that girl that literally did nothing and stood in the hallway the whole time I guess, she's okay.

Someone please tell me what they see in this show. I really don't get it.

I wonder what will happen once one of them reaches 100 points.
I feel bad for that granny. I hope she makes it out alive. Seeing her in that suit is so funny!
Kishimoto is so sexy. Like those gangsters, I wouldn't be able to control myself around her.
Whenever Nishi calls Katou a hypocrite, I can't help but LOL!
Interesting. Since there's a time lag, can they pass the firing effect if they shoot their weapon at someone else?

Why does Kei just keep talking to Kato instead of just saying what he wants. He gets spoken over several times throughout the episode when he wants to speak.
Nishi is the most realistic person in this episode ironically, he speaks his mind with no filter. He doesn't cling to his personal feelings like the others with their living situation, family, interpersonal endeavors. Refreshing to see a veteran character after so much of the other characters dilly-dallying in their own bubbles and circumstances - Even Kei who forgot his own suit.
