Gantz!
Monday, October 23rd, 2006
It took me forever to get around to watching this anime. Mainly because I don’t especially like the over-the-top violent shows. But at the urging of some friends, I moved it to the top of my netflix queue. I just finished the last volume over the weekend and loved it.
The characters were deep (don’t get attached to anyone. the final body count outdoes Hamlet) and the story kept me guessing what would happen next. At first, I thought it lame that the 26 episodes are spaced over 10 discs, so most of the discs only have 2 episodes, although the later discs have 3. But it really added to the guessing and suspense of the story.
I’m currently considering a block of some more violent shows after midnight (Elfen Lied as well?). If I go through with it, Gantz will surely make the cut.
