So after reading the Gantz manga (one of my current favorites) for a while now and being totally disappointed by the anime's first season with all the edits they made (they crammed near 20 chapters of manga into the second episode!!), I had hoped that the supposed "uncut" DVDs would be better. Lo and behold, upon viewing of the first two DVD episodes, we find that not only are they just uncut, THEY'RE COMPLETELY REMADE!

The new, uncut DVDs of Gantz are not only uncensored, but they actually went and redid the episodes entirely! Every scene from the manga so far has made it back into the anime. In fact, there's so much new footage that the second episode (DVD version), in it's 25 minute run, ends before the second episode (TV version) even gets to the eyecatch. It's like they crammed scenes from two entire episodes into one episode for the TV airing. Granted this will probably make it a longer episode count, but it's all for the better as Gantz is a great manga that deserves a great anime.

If you read the Gantz manga and were disappointed by the anime, go now and check out the DVDs. If you haven't read Gantz but are interested in seeing the anime, now is officially the time to do so.


On a side note, the second season began airing about 3 weeks ago and is airing completely uncut.

I loved Gantz! Hearing that the second season started is great news, thanks.

Some of the episodes in Season 1 were so intense.

When you look back, there weren't that many fight. But they way it deals with life and death is so interesting. I was hooked the moment I finished watching the first episode. The show never put some bullshit in your face. Some people, even people you felt bad for had to die. I felt bad when that grandmother and grandson died...but they just couldn't have made it. And I loved how Kei-chan grew some balls and just killed that bird in episode 11. Great to see that "fuck it" attitude come out in an extreme situation.

I loved Gantz!

Make sure you check out the DVD episodes. It really is a completely new experience, plus everything is explained so much better.
