Gantz anime was good up until the filler last episodes. They should of skipped some chapters and instead ended it where kei died or something.

As for the manga, this manga is so damn cool. It reminds me a ton of berserk. The gore, the death, the nudity, the monsters, its all just brutal! It was tolerable, but I had a problem with the plot. First, the german guy making a bet and having gantz for his own company. I personally think that should of been the doing of the divine being at the end. That or it was created by a secret military etc. Kei deciding to not blow up the ship based on his girlfriend saying they are like us. The woman doesnt even know about war, she ant seen the monsters eating people or tearing there guts out for fun, the monsters were monsters. That is another problem I had, it started blurring the lines between good and evil. Yes maybe they had a world like ours, but I think they should of been totally hostile and unkind, when you start blurring the lines of monsters after you have read or watched them killing people for many episodes or chapters, the reader just cant agree.

The end fight. I kind of think that fight was kind of dumb, like why not gang up on him, that was another problem with this title, like when they fought the 100 point monster. Why didnt everyone fight it at once, shooters from a distance etc.

Kei being killed by the divine being. That was not something that needed to happen.

Plot could of been better, I would give it a 7, it got a little muddy near the end. It happens with writers. You want to be different, but you end up making it inconsistent, but it still was not as bad as attack on titan. At least all of keis friends didnt gang up on him and kill him for defending there race.

The writer wanted a peaceful end between both sides, but then realised that it was dumb, so then went with epic fight and big ship boom.

I think kei should of destroyed the ship when he had a chance, it should of crashed, and after killing the last parts of the military, then the big fight occurs with the boss and kei. He wins and is injured (robot arm or leg), or dies and becomes a hero. Ending, some flash forward scenes with them cleaning up the damage, the stat of human beings and how it changed for the better (Becoming more kind etc), maybe some giants are left, they put them on an island and create peace with them or kill them. Some scenes of how everyones living with there happy lives, like katou, his girlfirend, her son and his brother. Kei and his girlfirend. A memoral they all attend that stands by the ship etc.

Overall, I would have to rate gantz an 8. The ideas, the deisgns of the monsters, the brutaility, its all too good and unique to be a 7. This would make a great rpg game and a new anime following the whole story but changing some parts for the better would be amazing.

Let me know your thoughts guys!

EDIT: Just rembered the vampies! That plot was the dumbest plot ever and still with loose ends. Also the mind powers? Unexplained, very dumb!

I think Izumi gets shit on a lot, some of it is justified because holy shit, but if you think about it, he HAD to be some kind of fucked up in the head. He gets his memories erased but still has the hollow fragments in his mind that drive him insane until he finds the website. The website leads him to Kei and he transfers schools. THEN he gets the mini gantz ball and it tells him to gather participants.. I think this dude was in the wrong for what he did, but I think Izumi truly believed he was doing the right thing which is the scary part. I guess I view it more as a sad mental health metaphor and how easily manipulated he was by Gantz.

Still, what an asshole!

Hello, if someone could direct me to an online place where I could purchase it, would be great, thank you!

No one talking about the new chapter?

We are getting multiple chapters incoming quick!

So i love listening to music while reading of it intensifies the story. I have done this for Berserk (Kentaro Miura) and Monster (Naoki Urasawa) but I don't know what I should listen while reading Gantz.

Are there songs or playlists you'd recommend? Or even a specific genre?

I bought the 12 Gantz buses a year ago for $22 each. Now the omnibus 10 is $799 on Amazon. Because? What's special about it? I don't understand

I was initially a Inuyashiki fan ...so from there I started gantz ...is it okay to start from the original Anime?

I know a lot of ppl on this sub hate the vampires subplot, I found it mildly interesting and kept it in the same category as Sakurai and Sakata’s powers, like how it just happens and it’s part of the story but it’s not fully explained… or explained at all. Ik they hardly expand on either after a few chapters but what do yall think actually causes these anomalies in the Gantz universe?

in southwest london near epsom, reference photo on 2nd slide. not the best but took ages lmao no idea who the guy on his shoulder is

I went to a penny a page sale and got this for $6.66

It seems a much better weapon that the x-gun with noticeably more range and precision.

Inconvenience may be that it requires two hands to wield, and maybe more skill, but still i wonder why the main protagonists never chose it.

Is it too heavy ? Should not be a problem with the power of the suit.

So, did they? Or can you find the songs somewhere? Would be nice to have the songs a full, clear version, and no just some rips like the piano theme

Maybe I’m an idiot who tries to see the best bad people, who knows 🤷‍♂️.

(I’m in the mood for Gantz so here we go.)
