Gantz at first sounds amazing by some of the other reviews I had read. The idea of people dieing and then being transported to a place where they basically have to kill to earn points and win their life back sounds interesting enough, plus after hearing that is loaded with violence, sex, and profanity... nuff said had to give it a shot...

But of course this anime went the way of Elfin Lied, alot of hyped up talk, but nothing to back it up. There is no sex in the first 13 episode season.. ill tell you that now, just a lot of fanservice shots, ... and the sex that was in the second season.. pointless and was pretty much just put there to keep people watching. The Violence... not really there, yeah you see a few heads explode here and there, but most of the time the first season is pretty much still shots of people being scared to fire a gun. Also there is no real character development in the first season.

There is almost no REAL character background for the characters, I guess with a series this short they didn't want to waste time and just kinda summed everything up as quick as possible, which would have been fine if they hadn't made them all mentally challenged... it's like watching a really bad horror movie where everyone is retarded and you get all ticked off at the endless stupidity... I feel that this whole anime can be summed up as follows...

Main character: "hey i've got an erection and im just gonna stand here and watch everything go down and let me friend do all the work (which he won't) until the last minute then I'll pretend i was of some help after everyone id dead :D, yay i have an erection :D"

His friend: "I have to do something!!!!..... *Stands around not shooting the enemy and lets everyone die*

The Girl: "I have big tits and just like to stand around crying, while people (and a dog) try to rape me all day, but its okay because 'His friend' will protect me for five seconds then stand around not shooting some more"

Everyone Else: "Hi I'm your average horror movie retard and I'm just gonna do the dumbest stuff you could possibly do at every given opportunity, until i die."

Gantz(person ball thing that controls everyone): "I don't really know why I'm even doing this, we're never gonna tell you, but I'm a rude over-sized bowling ball, that does magic :D"

Yeah that about sums it up, there characters are horribly created and their actions and emotions are lame. Please save yourself the trouble and don't watch this, you will never be able to get those wasted hours of your life back, The second season picks up a little bit, but not enough to be worth how horrible it still is, I could feel myself dieing a little inside with each episode, but i finished the series for you, the readers, that way i could give a proper review and hopefully no one else will ever have to suffer through this like I did.

If you were a fan of the original Ryo-ohki ova's but were let down by the dramatic differences in the Tenchi Universe series... then stay the heck away from this. the amount of sillyness from the universe series has been amplified and the story pales in comparison. As a fan of the original ova's, Tenchi in Tokyo has made me wish i had never even watched them and gotten hooked on the tenchi series' to begin with.

However, if you enjoy the Tenchi-Muyo series simplyfor its pure silliness then you will definitely like this anime. I would say it's only slightly more intelligent than 'Ninja Nonsense'. ... So if you like that stuff, then this is the series for you.

Quite a dramatic difference from the Ryo-ohki ova's. they seem to have added more silliness to the story and changed the characters backgrounds completely, and did a total overhaul on washu's personality. She is no longer the deep, calm, and collected person she was in the originals. instead she has become more of a mad scientist with a rediculous ego. though the new storyline is still quite good, the added sillyness and lack of character depth definitly let me down a little bit. but still a good watch.
