Thrilling aerial combat and super-cool designs can’t make up for a muddled and confusing storyline.

A letdown in almost every possible way imaginable, which is all the more disappointing because the storyline and setting has potential.

This first volume just doesn’t quite realize Samurai 7’s amazing amount of potential.

Gantz is positioned as a dark, nihilistic story about mankind’s darker nature. That doesn’t mean it’s any good.

The lush and detailed world depicted in the anime series truly makes it a wonder to watch.
