    I wondered if anyone else has seen this anime yet? currently 2 episodes are available subtitled and its a Gonzo anime as well. The animation is impressive and the story is very.. interesting I should say.

    Action, violence, assassinations, aliens.. the official site can be found here, click on 'movie' to see the quick trailer http://gantz.net/ and yes the music played during the trailer is disturbing but this anime is deep stuff.. the anime makes me want to kick some of the apathetic people in it.

    edit: I just found out the tv version is seriously cut-up. people are waiting for the fansubbed dvd versions that aren't censored. I wondered what was up when in the trailer this guy's torso blows up and it doesnt show in the actual episode..

    I've just seen first 4 episodes yesterday, and i looooved it! Seriously, its one of the cooles anime series out there. Can't wait to see the rest of it :rolleyes: . It is a violent anime, but its also very mysterious. But its sooo addictive you just cant stop watching it ;) .

    And, um, i dont think they cut out alot of gross scenes out of Australian version, not sure about American thou... But its rated MA15+ in here.

    Hmm I found it uncut now. It's because when the subs first came out, the source for the fansubbers was the aired version. It's all good now. The manga is really good too, scary but interesting.

    Hi agen, notice not alot of writing going on about this anime.. strange really considering,its one of the best ive seen in a while...

    neways the real reason for my post is just to ask some of u about Gantz... myb the manga readers will know more than me as i have only seen the anime, and even then ive only seen eps 1-22 and i know i shudnt have but managed to get a fansub of the last episode too, so ive missed 23,24 and 25, but im soooooooooooooooo confused... sum1 please help me...
    ***********spoilers included here************** if u dont wanna know then dont start reading agen until the stars reappear lol...

    y does gantz tell them 2 hunt Kei-chan? do they find out who or what gantz is and y he hunts the aliens.. or how he copies dead ppl etc yet? im just confused when every1 but Kei-chan dies and then at the end he does die but nothing happens after that?

    im almost as pissed off at this not knowing wat happens.. as i was when i finished watching the "Berserk" anime and if uve seen how it ends, u'll know wat im talking about...

    ********************spoilers over*********************

    sum1 please help me tho, i just really wanna know if it tells u nething i mite have asked about in the episodes ive missed... or if u just never get 2 find nething like that out... and u stay confused....?

    Gantz is awesome. I watched the first episode and was like WTF? Then I watched more. I got a few people hooked on it. Hehe. I have 9 dvds of it. Sucks how they put 2 episodes on a dvd.

    I have to wait until the next volume is out but I will answer what I can.

    does gantz tell them 2 hunt Kei-chan?
    My guess is because he threatened Gantz. The Manga is different from the anime. As what I have seen it didn't say.

    do they find out who or what gantz is and y he hunts the aliens.. or how he copies dead ppl etc yet?

    Not really. But the manga says "Before the world was created, the world already existed. The world was the source of life, and this life brought light to mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out." This comes from the manga. The people are hunters. They kill creatures like aliens, people that are a threat, and later vampires.

    im just confused when every1 but Kei-chan dies and then at the end he does die but nothing happens after that?

    That is how the anime ended. Kei was the main character. The manga is still going on. There is something special about getting 100 points. ;)

    I like the manga a lot better.

    As much as I think I would like this show, I cannot afford to buy something that's two episodes per disk. Way to go, ADV.

    If it weren't for that, I'd probably really like it and own most of it.

    Perhaps somebody already knows that this is a perfect Gospel of John ripoff. Anyway my first impression of Gantz was this: "Hey cool! Let's put a bunch of guys together, make them curse all the time, add blood, nonsense violence, and gratuitous nudity. It'll rock!"

    And after reading the spoiler at wikipedia (or was it anime online database?) i kept thinking. "Evangelion got stuff 100 times more interesting than this."

    My 2 cents.

    That does not do it justice. ANN does it better.

    "Kei Kurono is a typical high school student in a selfish world, not caring about anyone other than himself. However when, by chance, he was forced to help out his childhood friend, Katou Masaru, rescue a drunkard who fell into subway tracks, both he and Katou were killed... Or not. After being run over by the train, they were suddenly teleported to an enclosed apartment with others who recently died. And now their lives are controlled by a mysterious black ball inside the apartment called GANTZ, and they are forced to participate in a "game" of unprecedented danger and horror."

    The anime ends rather quickly. Which I hated. But the manga gets way better.

    The story has some nudity and also mild language. The people died and are forced to hunt or they die. I would be a little mad.

    Everyone seen all the anime now?

    I really loved it!!!!! it was fantastic. Although wish it had continued.
    I almost wish the anime had kept going with the neverending story like the manga is doing, i woulda loved to see some of the stuff in the manga come to the screen on the anime.

    Anyone else think this way? anyone read further in the manga?

    Im upto chapter 256 and the story just keeps getting better and better with loads of twists.

    Im so confused at points but loving it.

    You are not the only, Alucard. There is a manga thread floating in Manga.

    So you have read the BIGGEST storyline change ever. Seeing how you are passed 220, I think.

    So for those who have read do you think it is possible to do what is planned?

    aka

    Bring Kei back?

    I don't think so. Unless there is some thing in Gantz it isn't like it happened while being a part of Gantz.

    I would watch it all if the anime continued.
