Psychotic took pleasure in closing my thread down, so I'll speak my thoughts here.

Gantz is good, the ending was a poor cliffhanger for the first season, but a couple of the deaths really do hurt you, I don't know why but I just felt like crying when I saw them die. It was emotional, intense and unexpected. They didn't hold back or refrain from anything, it was far from the perfect ending, but a more realistic one at best.
