The second stage got rid of one of my big issues with the first stage, namely the censorship.

However with regards to another issue, that of the sudden change in character of the punk boss (he became suddenly all nice guy at end of first stage), I will say that for the second stage,

Spoiler:

All in all, hopefully that was just a hiccup. I'm more curious on how they are going to resolve what the heck Gantz is, considering that the mangaka has not even given a whit of conclusive information on what Gantz is for 171 chapters

There is something which may likely be a hint to that, here in the first episode.

Spoiler:

But it is too vague to get any conclusive ideas for what the end would be.

It is certain however that

Yebyosh 冤枉的小狗 Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: South East Asia	The second stage got rid of one of my big issues with the first stage, namely the censorship. However with regards to another issue, that of the sudden change in character of the punk boss (he became suddenly all nice guy at end of first stage), I will say that for the second stage, Spoiler: it was resolved terribly. What is the whole point of them deviating from the manga's plot for this fella if they suddenly swing towards resolving it by chiefly following the manga?! So he was an arsehole then suddenly in the middle of nowhere, for no reason, he became Mr Noble Honour. Then once he come back, he became Mr A-hole again?! And they didn't even adapt his ending properly. Having someone's head explode in front of everyone that is not involved in the whole scheme is going to raise even more suspicion than usual. Is that the way to keep things secret? Yes, the phone call coming in just to tell him the milk's flowing is also over-dramatic... FYI, the manga just had him having a huge haemorrhage in the brain with the blood flowing out of the orifices, courtesy of the implanted bomb. It did not however had his head exploding in pieces. There are cases of people having sudden brain haemorrhages but no cases of people having their heads suddenly exploding in front of everybody. All in all, hopefully that was just a hiccup. I'm more curious on how they are going to resolve what the heck Gantz is, considering that the mangaka has not even given a whit of conclusive information on what Gantz is for 171 chapters There is something which may likely be a hint to that, here in the first episode. Spoiler: The blond shaggy guy sitting on the slope appearing twice for no reason. But it is too vague to get any conclusive ideas for what the end would be. It is certain however that Spoiler: Kato and Kei would die as per the Ashura alien encounter in the manga, if the Ending Theme can be believed.
