Anime: Gantz Genre: Action, Ecchi, Sci-fi, Paranormal Subbed/Dubbed: I watched the subbed version. Review: I don't like to dwell on matters for too long, so I liked that Gantz was briskly-paced, with enough detail and emphasis on the things that need such; very accurate proportions are given out depending on importance of the subject. Taken from Wiki since I'm a lazy bastard. "The story begins when a pair of high school students (Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato) are seemingly run over by a subway train, after saving the life of a homeless drunk who had fallen onto the tracks. Following their untimely deaths, Kei and Masaru find themselves transported — alive and well — along with a number of people who have also just died, to the interior of an unfurnished Tokyo condominium from which the Tokyo Tower may be seen - and none of them are able to leave. At one end of the room is a featureless black sphere we later learn is called "Gantz"... By way of green text that appears on the surface of the sphere, Gantz informs those present that their lives have ended. Next, information on [aliens] appear on the surface of the sphere, shortly before the Gantz Team are transported to the location of the mission [to eliminate the alien(s)]." Downloads: Direct downloads were hard to find, but the torrents were easily located. Rating: I would love to give this series a ten, but there were some parts that were just so uncreative. For an action anime, the fight scenes were slightly disappointing. At least the absolutely amazing plot makes up for it, so a nine. :D
