Short list of reasons to read Bastard (spoiler-free):

1) Story
- is relatively short and fast-paced;
- grabs your attention with the first chapters;
- contains so many plot twists, that if you try to model them, you'll end up making a roller-coaster (a really breathtaking one - from the start to the very end).

2) Art
- provides you with the feelings of hopelessness and fear throughout the whole reading thanks to the darkish colors;
- immaculately conveys the terror of the most intense moments with the help of various drawing techniques;
... - satisfyingly bloody and gory when needed.

3) Characters
- are easy to empathize with;
- some of them are really complicated;
- actually develop.

4) Enjoyment
- once you dive in it, the manhwa becomes so addicting, that you'll devour every chapter until nothing is left.

Overall, you definitely will not regret reading Bastard, so don't hesitate and leave your doubts aside. It's worth giving a try.

This anime is a great choice, if you are looking for a visually stunning action-packed movie that includes rollercoaster of emotions.

1) STORY
The plot slightly differs from the one described in the original manga. If you are a Gantz fan, beware that it might disturb you a little.
If you are new to the Gantz title, there is no need to worry, because the most crucial concepts of the world are explained. However, some points might seem to be crazy or completely nonsense. That is why, for a broader comprehension of what is going on there, I recommend you to get acquainted to the parent ... story at least in outline.
It's hard to rate the anime for the story, but as a knowing person I give it 7/10, because it would have been better, if the movie followed the original script more precisely or was a complete spin-off.

2) ART
Blatant splendor, enough said. It includes spectacular 3DCG with high level of detalization, epic slow motion use, incredible camera angles and extremely smooth animation. However, I can imagine it being even more impressive. 9/10.

3) SOUND
Very fitting sounds that make you live through every moment of the piece. Brilliant. 10/10.

4) CHARACTER
Characters have strong non-trivial motivations that drive their behavior. They are also very different from one another - we got pure cynics, selfless heroes, unprincipled egoists and helpless passerby. 10/10.

5) ENJOYMENT
The anime follows the Pareto principle: 80% of the anime is non-stop action and 20% is all the rest. This is what makes the film so terrific and awesome. 10/10.
