    Gantz is easily my favorite anime. I've seen quite a few, and nothing seems to top it. The basic storyline is about a boy (Kei) who is run over by a train while trying to save a homeless person. In the afterlife, Kei meets up with other dead people and are forced by a ball called "Gantz" to participate in a game. They receive high-powered suits and weapons and go on missions to hunt down and destroy aliens secretly living in Japan. If you manage to live through the mission, even if your head is chopped off you will return to the room with Gantz completely healed. You cannot tell anyone in Japan you are dead and are hunting aliens or you officially die. You cannot leave Gantz within a square kilometer. From killing aliens you receive points; if you reach 100 you are allowed to live again with your memory of Gantz gone, but you can also bring back another person dead or recieve a new, amazing weapon. If you are unable to complete the mission you can die or your points will return to 0.

    It's also a hentai, action/gore anime and is easily the most well animated anime I have ever seen.

    No way. It's much more dramatic, real, and un-girly. I can link you to Episode 1 Part 1 if you want. Link removed for safety.

    Enjoy.

    It's ok, but I recommend getting rid of the link.

    Anyways, I just watched the first episode and it was alright.
    It kind of drove me nuts because he was being too self narrative!

    I'd recommend the second episode for sure. He loses the narrative as it goes along.

    I'll watch some more later, I'm tired and there are more storms coming.
    (I live in Kansas, look at Kansas through a radar now and you will see)

    It sure isn't a Yu Yu rip off!
    Actually any anime that has blood is better!:D
