Would you like some story with your gore and sex? Too bad.

Wayori

Well, if you like mindless violence and hentai scenes in your anime, then you should probably not let me rain on your parade. But this show is relentless in its stupidity, and it made my head hurt waiting for the story to get better. The plot is that there is this orb with a guy in it called "Gantz" who randomly picks dead people and keeps them trapped in its apartment until it sends them out as a type of sadistic game to kill random monsters with skin-tight super-suits and weapons that, honestly, serve no other function than to create the most gore out of a battle as possible. Genius. And wait until you get to said battles! "What should we do?!" "I don't know!" "But they're killing us!" "I don't know if it's right to shoot them!" "...But we're dying!" Sad thing is that there is always this "dramatic" hesitance in every battle. And, of course, this hesitance and head-hurting stupidity gets a lot of people killed. Don't try to get to know a character too well; chances are they won't be around too long. And the protagonist... selfish, perverted, whiny. The only things that work for this show are the great artwork and the occasional chuckle (such as Gantz's little song that plays before each game). Other than that, it's a pointless waste of time.

score 2/10
