When I first think of watching an anime, I always look at the reviews. I like to see what others have to say before I watch, without spoilers. I am really glad I decided to watch this anime. I was pleasantly shocked at the beginning and wanting more at the end. I have yet to watch Gantz: The second stage, but I am starting when I am done with this review.

Story: I gave it a 9 because I really think it deserves it. There is more than one hidden message in the story and hopefully most of you will see ... it, if not, that's okay as well, you will enjoy it. I hate to read reviews with spoilers, so I won't add any. It starts off shocking and isn't for the faint of heart. If you don't like blood, gore, nudity, profanity, this anime is not for you. There is no sex or romance, :( , lol, but thats okay as well.

Art: I think the art could've been done better. If you watch it online fullscreen, it's kinda choppy. The colors weren't as vibrant as you would expect being horror.

Sound: I LOVED the music. It fit well with episodes and what was going on at that time. There was a lot of that creepy, horror movie magic there. The beginning starts with Hard Rock or what I think is hard rock and then end is kinda...gentle.

Character: You love them, hate them, pity them and want to smack them. Some characters made me wanna jump through the screen and beat the crap outta them for their lack of survival skills. You won't see all characters all the time, but we all know the mains pretty much stay. Some you can't wait to leave and others you feel bad when they are gone.

Enjoy: I was really surprised I enjoyed this anime so much. I usually go for an anime with romance, drama, etc. There were times I was slack-jawed by what was going on. Sometimes I was rolling with laughter at the stupidity and helplessness a few characters portrayed. But I really enjoyed it and watched it all back to back in a few hours.

Overall: I think this anime is OUTSTANDING!!! It is not your typical story line and if you don't read any spoilers, you will be surprised and enraptured. Look at this anime. Give it a chance. I tried to stay away from giving too much away. This is my first review. I think, I hope, I will get better with time, lol.
