The anime is pretty much "Fan-Service", but the manga has a plot and the "Fan-Service" is few...  Well, fewer than the anime.

Personally I see the "Fan-Service" in the manga as filler to to the story, seeing as how the story is about a human in a school for monsters that would kill him if they found out he was human.  Only one person knows he's human and that's Moka...  The girl that he likes.  He even decided to stay at the school for her.  The rest of the story starts getting good about chapter 20, that's when Tsukune starts having a reaction to the overconsumption of vampire blood in his system.  After that the story starts to go a lot faster and the "Fan-Service" takes a back seat to the story much moire than before.

I would suggest reading the chapters leading up to Chapter 20 though as they introduce a lot characters that are pivotal to the plot later on in the manga.

Umm... ok... I didn't it like that, but I guess we're just different.

I can see your point, but I guess to me that was part of the charm...

Ummm... ok.... how?  Unless you get off on that kind of thing [I would suggest Sekirei or Tenjou Tenge, not much plot but plenty of bare naked boobs].

How much of the manga have you read?  I can understand if you only the first few chapters, but I don't see how you can judge a manga by the first few chapter alone.

I guess everyone has different tastes...  I don't see what your seeing obviously, but maybe I'm just more tolerant of certain aspects of manga.  I actually got into a discussion with a moderator at animecrazy.net about what is ecchi.  In the end I lost since the definition of ecchi is so broad, but I can to realize that my definition of ecchi was too specific.

I guess some people can't look past the occasional panty shot [which ][/which] and read the manga for the story and art.  Oh well...

Ok... Let me start of by saying that I love this series.  I have read the entire Manga [upto ][/upto].  I CAN NOT stand the anime!!!

The anime took none of the good parts of the manga turned them into something so incredibly stupid it's not worth it.

I would suggest that people skip the anime and read the manga, the manga is a 1000 times better and doesn't have a lot of fan service in it [there ][/there].

Call me crazy, but I'm looking forward to this movie.  I think it looks like a "popcorn" movie, something that's fun to watch and doesn't require thinking.  Something that just a great time waster[which ][/which].

By the way where can you go to read the original script before it was editted?  I've a few people talking about it.

Also the little that he catches was not punched...  In the trailer it looks like he simply threw him into the air.

@Firestalker 5, If I remember correctly That kid has been recording what they're doing during the Gantz mission and maybe he was really planning to be free (choice number 1) so in case the guys need someone who has experience, maybe that kid could help?

The Osaka team is weird! But I can't help feeling that there must be some wide mass attack after there was this I remember Gantz or was it Izumi that was saying about End of the World is near thing

Actually it was the website that the middle schooler was writing that mentioned it, but it said this; "The world is ending, it's slowly being over run by aliens."  Then their was an off comment by someone during this last mission...  They said "It's really seems as if the world is ending".  I would have that's not real definitive to be the reason for Gantz and why he's doing what he's doing.

This mission is taking WAY too long, but the Muscle Rider is kicking the 100-pointers ass.  Too bad I'm almost positive that it's not going to work and he's going to die trying.

THIS GUY WILL NEVER DIE!!!!

I personally liked the Dinosaur Mission.  It had a lot of "Holy shit look at how Kei is" moments.

I agree with the person that said they disliked the Osaka team, their complete asses.  I also hate the turn around that Reiko pulled [Not ][/Not].  I also agree with the fact that this battle has gone on way to long, but at least their on the last one [Hopefully].

It sucks that the little kid might die and the old man.  I keep expecting Kei to just suddenly appear and kick the last bosses ass and then give no explanation as to how he got there [That's ][/That's].

I hope the writer starts explaining a little about whats going on soon.  I get the feeling that this is something bigger, but all we've gotten so far is this stupid "It's a game" explanation.  I want to know what "Gantz" is and how is he able to do what he does.  I also want to why they were choosen, is there a reason or was it pretty random?  Also what about the rest of the world?  Obviously there are more teams, but is it a competition between the countries like Izumi and the brat middle-schooler [God ][/God] suggested on the train before the Vampires attacked [Vampires?!  ][/Vampires?! ]?

I don't know if this necroposting, but I'm currently not watching animes.  I prefer reading the mangas.
