Best of all, the characters, particularly Kurono Kei, are dynamic. Early on, the anime begins by exploring the Bystander Phenomenon (many people watching another in distress, though nobody helping) and Groupthink/Mob Mentality through an interesting usage of the Protector Archetype. The characters are remarkably well written, having many facets to their psyches complete with strengths and flaws. The story itself is driven by the character development, however. The plot is the vehicle of this absurd tumult, revolving around the dead being coerced into forcibly evicting or executing transient aliens, and is itself somewhat absurd even if it is intriguing. While it boasts an high-octane action reputation built on almost absurd levels of violence, this is not the end-all be-all of "Gantz". "Gantz" (2004) is somewhat of a curiosity within its genre.
