Ok. Let me begin. This is my first review on an anime.
Gantz is a very brutal, grusome, gorish anime with a lot of tragic incidents and people dying. They wanted to do an anime like Battle Royal or Elfen Lied, but they couldn't make it, so they did "Gantz".
Character (6/10)
The characters I like it sometimes and sometimes not. They didn't explain and develop well the characters because they were not good characters. They were simply not humans, didn't had emotions or anything. They just kill and kill.
[spoiler] When I think about titles like Elfen Lied and Battle Royale, they're violent, but they succeed because
...
the protagonists at least have something to them that makes them human. There's something about them that you identify with, that despite all the horrible things they do, you can tell they're trying to rise above it. Just because circumstances force them to become monsters, they don't have to stay that way -- they can redeem themselves or at least try. [/spoiler]
Art and Music (8/10)
At the same time, this is one of the best animated television shows I've seen in years. The artwork is gorgeous, the character designs are beautiful, and the blending of the CG and cel style just looks good. Technically, it's one of Gonzo's best; they also pushed the envelope in that sense, and did it right. The music om the show, both the score and the songs, are awesome. The opening ("Super Shooter") is by Rip Slyme, one of the most popular and skilled Japanese rap groups out there. (Yeah, Japanese rap -- and it's fun!)
Gantz is really the pinnacle of anime exploitation.
In trying to be edgy and relevant, Gantz glorifies everything that is seen to be bad about manga and anime, and makes you ashamed to be human in the process
