[Reaction request] Gantz - 1x1
This was definitely an interesting one lol
Shout out to Liam Dyer for requesting that we give this a shot!
This was an interesting anime that I would like to see more of. It deals with themes that most of these shows don't typically deal with. Doesn't shy away from mature content but the story is a little weird in the beginning. I imagine as a short series it gets better and better.

One of the first anime I watch worth watching it all it was a great anime
Chris, the girl in “brown face” is a Ganguro gal. Google ganguro and gyaru. It was a fashion trend in the early 90s up to today.
Dawg he's triggered about this fashion trend. I sure hope he doesn't read the fucking manga.
The Manga is my favorite, tied with Berserk. I will acknowledge, however, that the anime is very flawed. It's still a good time, but there are a lot of awkward moments.
Mid 2000's was peak anime :)
Ahhhhhhhhh I’m so excited y’all are doing this anime!!! It’s gon be 🔥 can’t wait to see y’all reactions 👏👏👏♥️
It's a reaction request man, calm your tits :D They're only doing one episode..
the manga is far better than the anime, but the anime is still an interesting introduction; just bear in mind that the last 2 episodes are basically a filler ending for the anime, and aren't canon. If you guys decide to pick this up, I'd advise watching the Gantz:O movie, it's got RIDICULOUSLY good CGI animation, and tells a story set long after the anime (it's an adaptation of a much later manga arc)
This is a strange request. Btw, most of the anime you usually react to is shonen (for ages 12-18). Gantz is seinen (for ages 18+). I honestly think this is the first seinen I've seen from normies. I suggest to try out a milder seinen like Tokyo Ghoul. It has mixed reviews but the first season is still top tier and is a good transition from shows like Naruto and HxH.
lol, this cannot be true... is tokyo ghoul really considered seinen? it is like the holy gral of edgy teens, hahaha
wont let me watch due privacy settings?
OH SHIT! I didn't see this one coming. Prepare for despair my firends. Prepare for despair.
Also to say that it’s not a realistic depiction of society that no helped is a bunch of bologna. I’ve witnessed what happened in this video in person (not online) and no one helped. A guy fell fell face first drunk onto the tracks Drunk in Chicago. No one helped. I remember thinking should jump down to help? What if I get my ass stuck. Can I even lift a grown ass man by myself. Luckily, he eventually regained consciousness and we were able to pull him up after about 10 minutes and no train came. Also Japan was way advanced technology wise in the 2000’s. Everyone had camera phones.
This dub sucks. Japanese people don’t talk like this at all. You’re better of with subs for this one.
So is this before the movie or is it not connected at all?
Do you mean Gantz: O? then yes this takes place before the movie.
Yup this is a lot more mature than you guys are probably used to. If you’re tired of the heroes always winning, this is the manga/anime for you. The dominant vibe of this show is pessimism and hopelessness, which makes it very interesting.
Since when are either of those things particularly rare or inherently interesting?
Yes, just keep watching this series, until the end.
Schroedingers Anime Character. Not enough upper Body Strength to climb up a latch but still enough to choke out a grown up Yakuza who is taller than him
That dub was horrible
That's one of the worst dubs I've heard in a while
Yeah, they needa watch it with subs. Unless listening to the painful dub there is.
Just read the manga and maybe watch Gantz:O, a CGI movie for the visuals that loosely adapted a much later arc in the manga.
Idk what's weirder, THIS or Bakemonogatari 😂
I only read the manga and gatta say it was a good read
man by dumb ass watch this when i was like in middle school fucked me up
Same..... I wasn't expecting things to happen like that back on YouTube, where part 1 and 2 of those episodes.
To give some context the Gantz manga started in 2000 and ended 2013. The anime was made in 2004. As a result the anime only covers about 90 chapters out 383. And since the manga wasn't even close to finished the anime had to make up its own ending. This means most of the character and story developments that happen later in the manga never happen in the anime.
Yeah, which pretty sucks... the manga finished in 2013 ain't gonna have a next season after years.... :(
Can someone recommend Carole and Tuesday for them to watch?
If you continue with Gantz in your own time then I implore you to do so in manga form. In my opinion, and the general consensus I've heard from people I know that have sampled both, the anime is absolute garbage by comparison to the manga.
For perspective, I think the manga for Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood) are marginally better than the shows, watch whichever media you're most comfortable with - I might have some manga chapters I recommend you read to append your knowledge, like Youswell and the train in early FMA. The Harry Potter books are significantly better than the movies, I will highly recommend you read the books if you enjoyed the movies, but thee movies are pretty a'ight themselves. Gantz don't even bother with the anime, watch the first episode to see if you can cope with the themes and read the manga if you're interested and ignore the rest of the anime until you've read the manga.
I... never thought I'd see the day when ANYONE would react to Gantz lol.
This is a weird request. It's an ok anime but I'm not sure it works great for reactions. In my opinion Berserk would be a better anime if you're getting into this type of genre.
Reaction a Fate/Zero, please.
Havent watched this and im cringing lol (I dont hate the show btw just think it aint gonna be pleasant for reactions).
This manga is the shit. Super unpredictable sad. And exciting
I was thinking about re-watching this in my spare time.
Gantz is a classic case of hidden gem that never reached the mainstream as hard as something like EVA. Still huge but not big enough for normies and casual anime fans to know of.
What..... what was this show like the fuck lol
Man if you haven't seen it before, your are missing a pretty good show, the manga is better but the anime itself is a nice ride.
How do you request a show?
It's a patreon tier reward.
