Whats up with the main character being such a bitch all season long and like crying every single episode.

I really don't like the goody long hair dude either. hes also a bitch, but for different reasons.

True. Not a single likeable character, really. I just want them all to die already, so they can stop annoying me. Seriously, they just stand there and do NOTHING when those ugly robot/birds attack them. They have guns, fucking use them. And the pacing is too damn slow. /rant

Fuckin' a! How many of those damn bird things are there?!?! Well, at least that damn kid is finally gone. I was ready to jump in there and blow his head off myself. The grandma... eh, I couldn't care less. I wouldn't have bothered. Maybe Kei will kill that giant bird looking thing and get this shit over with.

This anime is so so so so fucking stupid. omg.
and the most fantastic(literally) is how big pussies are the characters, like omg....this is so fucking incredible....i didn't think something like this can be even in a movie or anime....omg...omg...incredible! I simply can't believe it...is this a FUCKING DREAM?!
Read the manga, guys, read the manga. Cuz this is bullshit.

it's amusing how so many people are angry at the kid for being a kid


When I was a kid I was like 100 times smarter than him. So people aren't angry because he's a kid, they're angry because he's the more stupid kid in the world.

hmmmm.... i hope that the next season isn't as slow. don't know if i can sit through another season of this. And whats with the goddamn dialogue? I understand that its probably a literal translation, but lines like:

"Geez, youre blaming everything on me now, aren't you Haruya? Of course. If you have a problem, give me back my tooth! My tooth!!"

The kid is annoying, but he was a kid so I guess he's just being a kid, Annoying as hell....way too annoying...way too "stereotypical" but a kid nonetheless. The scene where the grandma died was pretty sad, despite the fact I really didn't like her as a character.

I actually do like K as he is somewhat relatable. Kaske or whatever his name is is pretty annoying, but I'd say there's about 2/3 decent characters in this.

The show had potential, but it's pretty disappointing.

People seem to be missing the point that the characters acting the way they do is central to the main point of the anime. Which is...

People suck. They're not nice. They're not brave. Most of them don't give a shit about each other, and even those who do often can't do a whole lot. And often, anyone who does anything is doing it because they have to.

It really showcases the true face of human nature. People bitch about how it's slow or about how it's a crappy anime, but I think most people are pissed off because they know someone/they are similar to one or more of the characters in the anime and just don't want to accept it.

That's how people roll.

The robots are so fucking slow and takes so much time to user their "powers" and yet the characters can't outrun or kill them...

I hate those gangster type characters who doesn't have a brain and tries to solve everything with violence while threatening everyone because they think they are the "boss" or something.

Oh my god I've never been so frustrated (probably not true) watching an anime before. Everyone fucking character!!!! And for some reason hate big tits the most.
It's really not very realistic to me, I know not everyone is a super hero in real life, but this is just over the top. And why the hell did the fat biker guy get the upper hand like that?
Oh I'm unreasonably ticked off here, but of course need to keep watching...

I see what you're saying, but I disagree. I could understand the three protagonist's hesitance the first time around. But at this point? If the idea here is that people are greedy and self-obsessed, then why are these characters struggling to save their own asses? It's not as if they're even being asked to fire on other human beings... they're going up against bizarre obviously otherworldly ROBOT BIRDS and rather than shoot them in the interest of self preservation they just sit there and cry!

For some characters, I can understand hiding in the corner and counting your blessings. A little boy and his grandma wouldn't be gung-ho action heroes. I could go on about how unrealistic I find THEIR reactions to all of this nonsense, but I don't believe they'd actually accomplish anything either so at least that bit is right.

The characters are just simply ALL unlikable and if this is supposed to be social commentary on how ugly humanity truly is at times... fine! But their reluctance, cluelessness, cowardice and stubbornness has become a bit over-the-top and it feels nearly insulting to be expected to entertain it for so long.

One episode left. It looks like we're going to end with a giant purple boss fight and that's fine with me. Let's see how they manage to wrap this up.

The difficulty level of this one is so much higher than the previous one. LOL

I would also like to say that all of the characters in this anime are so annoying, especially that blonde dude. Masaru is also super annoying with his "I CANT SHOOT" bullshit. (and sense of justice)

This! also i was pretty bummed out how nishi went out.... i kinda liked him being the resident asshole/know-it-all that had his shit together the way he went out.... wasnt expecting that, i was just expecting him to just accept his fate and die then he had the whole emotional breakdown and admitting how he didnt hate anyone he just hated society kinda cliche but whatever

This really feels like a chewing gum. I've read the manga some years ago and I don't remember it as that boring. 50% of the scenes are 'omg I can't shoot, I'd rather watch someone die', which is more realistic but also annoying in my opinion.

For a minute i thought the grandma and the kid would make it (maybe the kid did survive since his grandma was protecting him with her body).
But meh, i was expecting more from this ep.

UGH! I hate it whenever Kurono bitches about his jealousy and how Kishimoto keeps looking her at hubby, Kato. The only time Kurono is funny is when he's being shamed for his boners.

Ryota is so fucking annoying in the Anime, he was less annoying in the manga. As a matter of fact, he seemed more innocent in the manga.

Kato's bulging muscles are perfect for Kishimoto's bouncy tits. They're physically made for each other. Kurono is made for his hand.

That bird had no wings or arms, just legs. That alone made it freakier and more disgusting. These bird aliens with Jackie Chan space suits are worse than the Onion Aliens. The Onion Aliens, I felt sorry for them and my heart broke for them when they died but I don't care if these Suzuki Yuzo whatever alien birds die or not.

Obacchan protected Ryota until the end.

I remember this scene from when I first watched Gantz. Still feel bad for Ryota and his grandma. He was loud and irritating but still just a kid at the end of the day. Sucks that he was even there in the first place.

Aww, that poor old lady died. What a shame. I feel bad for her. That could've been avoided if Kishimoto, Hojo, and Katou weren't so indecisive with their actions and shooting. The first group was so much better at shooting.
