Gantz has a plot that plows forward aggressively. Most of the times that it moves forward, a character does something stupid like stand around instead of shooting at an enemy or something similar to that. The show kills of its characters without much thought and often the characters die in ridiculous ways that could be easily preventable if not for some weird reverse-plot armor the show gives its characters. Maybe because of this, I never particularly cared when a character died.

What I found interesting about the show, however, and what kept me going, were the moments when they weren't fighting the aliens where a whole multitude of depravities in characters showed - Religious fervor, adultery, lying, cowardice, allowing the savior of your kids life to die simply because you don't want to get involved, running over someone while carelessly talking on the phone and then driving off, hypocrisy and constant justifications, rape, suicide, child abuse, and more. Gantz goes through the whole gamut of human depravities and, though none of the topics in particular go particulary in-depth, they serve in creating an interesting world filled with these disgusting people which kept me interested enough to finish and enjoy, to some extent, the two seasons of Gantz.
