[quote name='Chacrana']Please don't. Gantz is the worst paced anime I've ever watched. Cool concept, cool designs, impossibly bad execution. There's a part where this guy is dying for seriously like 8 minutes, just giving this dreadful speech on why dying is bad, and you're just like "holy shit, I'm glad you're dead."[/QUOTE]
I don't know too much about the anime since I've mainly read the manga, but even the manga's execution is a bit annoying which is one of the reasons why I got kind of burned out at the end of Phase 1, basically Gantz reminds me a lot of Lost, there are all kinds of questions you have about what the point of everything is, and they never seem to touch on that (maybe as the author is working to wrap up the manga he is doing a better job of not introducing stuff (i.e. sudden introduction of vampires a long ways into the series) and more on explaining why everything is happening).
In that regard it also kind of reminds me of Berserk, like that series is really awesome for all the flashback arc, but then it get to the present and it seems like everything is moving a snails pace and many things from earlier in the story are just being ignored. Also, I'm annoyed that Berserk basically radically changed the characters that I really liked (like Griffith makes sense but I still liked him a lot before his transformation, but I hate how Caska is being handled, it is like she went from being an awesome warrior who could fend for herself to literally retarded and constantly needing a man to protect her).
