The only acceptable character is the male model, and even so he would be considered a weak and forgettable character in any other series. But at least his decisions don’t boggle the mind.
The only aspect of the show that makes me curious to want to know more is ironically the aliens. I’d rather know their origins, etc. rather than those of the humans.
Everything else is terrible. I’ve always wondered why people are so anti-CG. After watching Gantz, I now know why. If this is the type of CG that anti-CG folks have been exposed to, it makes perfect sense.
The clumsy, awkward and frankly horrible pacing is the reason people give up on anime and turn to manga.
And these are just the most glaring flaws. When I first started out, I realised there were many issues, but even those pale in comparison to the ones mentioned above. Gantz will have its fanbase, for sure, as every series does, but do yourself a favour and read through at least a few negative reviews before deciding on whether this is something you’d be fine with. I’ve never seen so many accurate negative reviews for a series before.
