In the first season of GANTZ, we get a kind of introductory package that shows us all of the characters in their everyday roles as well as their GANTZ roles. It also presents us with the stark setting and ultra-bloody, unflinching look at violence. This season decides to step up the ol' ultra-violence and puts a whole lot of emotional impact behind the blood and guts, making this a breathtaking and somewhat difficult series to watch. Yet it's so addictive, it's almost impossible not to watch...
Season two presents two of the final battles. I say two because, for a lot of the GANTZ gamers, the final battle just so happens to be the first battle. Kei, Kishimoto, and Kato face a duo of giant statues that appear, at first, to be impossible opponents to defeat. Yet when things seem to start moving in their direction, new opponents present themselves and make the task that much more difficult to complete. This battle also introduces a few more key characters to the story, as well as bringing back some more of the survivors from the previous battle with the bird alien. And finally comes the actual final battle, one in which I will not describe here so as not to ruin any of the surprises that come along the way.Japanese audio track with hardcoded english subtitles.
