Gantz Vol. 1 on DVD, 4/5/05
So, the rental cue finally started sending me some anime. This one is quite a doozy. A couple of kids die when they try to save an unconscious homeless man from a train. Instead of dying though, they're spirited away to an apartment in downtown Tokyo by some giant metallic egg. The egg spouts guns and uniforms and has them hunt a celery-kid and his father.
Um, I don't know what to make of this. We hear most of this through one kid's point of view. He's horny and seems to resent doing anything that might help someone else. His friend wants to help other people and our narrator really has the hots for one of the women in their little group, but we're given next to no information about what they people are doing. The living can't seems to see them though their weapons blow up walls. The celery kid actually lives in a house. Anyone who wanders away from this little scenario blows up. So, these are dead people who can die. Again. Weird.
