Gantz

I was literally in Italy (Naples) heading to Rome because of GANTZ and then the 2020 COVID outbreak hit while I was there. . I had to cancel the trip and head back to the USA. I'm still mad.

A waste that falls apart after Kei was killed by the vampires. It never really recovered after that.

That is some awful anatomy.

What do you mean falls apart, it was never together
It was fun garbage from chapter 1 till the end

No it's just a healthy woman.

it was pretty good before they reached the part with the giant aliens who had a society very similar to humans thus making you think that humans are the real monster on the universe and not the monsters that were hidding on earth because they were the real victims all along.

Look at the size of her foot. Look at the shape of her tit.

It stopped being fun.

It became shit after Overly edgy shit after Osaka.
It was already edgy shit, but it was fun and interesting.
The finale was just gore and depression for the sake of it. Wasn’t fun or interesting to read
Will say tho, I do think the finale of Gantz is probably one of the most impactful depictions of a possible hell in all of fiction. Legit felt at some panels
Also I liked the vampires. It’s just that Everything after that became shit so it gets a bad rep

>Alien demigods say there's no such thing as a soul
>A few minutes later in the same conversation, they say a soul does exist and confirms Reina and Kei 2 will meet again in their next lives

Ugly cgifest.

What happened to Oku's manga about ultraman pornstar?

>Anime
Absolute utter dogshit F teir trash.
>Manga
Was okay, way better than the anime until it became absolute utter dogshit as well. Dropped that shit faster than my sphincter after eating a 12 pack of supreme tacos and a cheesy gordita crunch from taco bell.
Don't care will never pick it back up.
>Overall
Trash

Cool concept tho . . .

I'm the only one who liked the god aliens? I still think they filtered too many people

You're supposed to super speedread it, don't pay attention to a damn thing

You're probably one of the only idiots that thought they were saying anything intelligent and not contradictory

Unironically this. I just read it for fight scenes, some cool art, and Reina's tits. And the manga was great for that entertainment.

Here it is

That baby in the bottom right has a rock-hard dick

Its especially funny when the "space war refugees" who were "just hiding on Earth" started doing shit like picrel
And dont get me started on the shapeshifting rapist god and his jackass yokai buddies

They declare there is no God yet speak in complete absolutes about the universe when, if there is no all-knowing all-powerful existence, they themselves who cannot be all-knowing could very well be wrong about every single thing they say. The super aliens sound like a bunch of dumb egotistical teenagers that just joined the debate club.

I liked Gantz: O.

Cool design, terrible dialogue. This is how a mopy “nihilistic” high schooler would write an omniscient being

Why would they filter anyone but the most religious people who get offended by anything? It's just a very old and lazy concept that didn't bring anything new to the table, and was handled poorly in the manga.

What I don't get about the god aliens is why the "devout" believers in that room believed anything they said. There were tons of people crying about finding out there's no god, but why the fuck did they just take the aliens' word for it? Shouldn't religionfags just brush it off as words from a false prophet or something?

He’s the closest thing to God they’ve ever encountered, so its depressing to hear a nearly all-powerful alien tell you that your religion is probably false. Plus the only people who survive Gantz’s games are battle hardened assholes, most of them probably werent very religious or spiritual to begin with. The American teams were a bunch of jarheads and the other Japanese teams were sadistic maniacs
Also I think when you leave the room you automatically cry blood. Theres definitely some sinister shit going on in the God room

Oku Hiroya just never recovered after that. I am like 80% sure he got a stroke.

So haven't finished the series, but from what I got from spoilers is that basically the ball is alien CIA trying to set up a Bay of Pigs to fuck with other aliens in a cold war?

More or less yeah. God aliens were in some kind of conflict with the Giants. Giants are an expansionist spacefaring warrior culture (although their homeworld was like a 1:1 representation of a well-off democratic country from Earth, weirdly)
Giants attack a lot of lesser ayy lmaos unprovoked. Some ayys flee to Earth. God sends Gantz balls to Earth to give humans a fighting chance when the Giants show up.
They beam the instructions into an autistic girl’s head because the God aliens are negligent retards. Autistic girl’s dad is super rich and shares the tech with his illuminati buddies. Apparently they were watching all the missions for shits and giggles, although we never actually see this happening. They also should have made the Gantz balls a little easier to understand to avoid matches where half the human “hunters” assume they died and went to heaven.
Giants show up, wreck Earth in 5 seconds. All nations bow down, humans are turned into snack food or pets. Our heroes launch a final attack and MC kills the giant hero / chad Ubermencsh god-king. Giants lose. God shows up and tells humanity that life is (almost) meaningless. The end

Then the author decided to do Gantz again except it takes place in medieval Japan? Fucking stupid, a proper sequel would have made much more sense

This.
It also has less to do with the fact that there is no such thing as an afterlife, and all their friends and family who died painful deaths during Katastrophe will just rot in the ground, and their souls won’t find peace.
The alien is challenging the notion that their existence has some greater meaning or purpose.
It was kinda weird that he confirmed reincarnation though.

interesting opening
constant resets
fever dream
"hah" "hah" "hah" "hah" "hah"
??? wtf is going on
thank god it's over

I need some pucture to understand the "hah, hah" part

I’ll never understand the hate the anime gets. Can someone explain it to me? There’s a lot of soul to it and it has a great soundtrack.
I listened to this song a lot while reading the rest of the manga

Traced.

Not him, but Gantz had a lot of pages like this. Just
>Kei pants intensely

depends which version you read, but there is a LOT of "pant" pages, which in some versions is translated as "hah" instead of *pant*

This is one of the best moments in the series. Will it ever be animated?

Retarded, but fun.

We couldn't see if going invisible worked, but that would be a good strategy. Reika showed sniping was pretty effective. I don't know, man, I know having a hard suit isn't am easy feat, but a lot of people having it went full retard with their attacks. Kurono, Kato, Muscle Rider never got themselves slip like that.

Kek didnt he do this before committing domestic terrorism

Can anyone with a Gantz suit go invisible? It seems like a heavily underutilized tool that would have come in handy multiple times.

one guy in a hard suit gets pasted by the roman statues, and I think another one breaks a Gantz sword with his leg. I doubt that hit-and-run tactics would work for very long

Also what the hell happened to the statues anyway? Did the Giants wipe them out off-screen? I find that kind of hard to believe

>Stupid author trying to write smart dialogur in a gorefest manga.

I've only watched the anime and the CG movie. I want to know what happens next

Just read the manga bro. It’s a breeze to read in just under a week. It’s non stop action so it’s a real page turner. If you really want to you can just pick up the manga after the Osaka arc

Will do. Which volumen is that?

I believe Osaka Arc ends at chapter 278, so it should be fine to read from there.

what kind of aliens were the american gantz teams fighting? if the japanese were fighting yokai aliens and italy was art & sculptures my headcanon for the americans is cryptids or advertising mascots

it was pretty good but became dogshit after the aliens came

I agree, pretty underrated tool. Nishi could go invisible with a basic suit so I think it's available to everyone. His strategies were good, the author made him dumb when it was convenient.

Let's say you jump on a motorcycle, along with two H gun users. Go invisible. You identify your target and then spam the H gun and escape on said motorcycle. You have a least another shot until they figure out what's happening. Also, sounds cruel but using others as decoy would be effective.

About the statues, Kurono beat the boss in a simultaneous death.

Start from the beginning. A huge deal of the Osaka arc is how other people treat
the same desperate situation in a completely different way. You won't be able to savor that difference unless you start from the beginning.

Don't forget the bad anatomy

>after the aliens
>not after ESP

Some choices could also be
>Creepy founding father statues in some Revolutionary War museum
>Statue of Liberty walking around New York
>Amusement Park mascots (maybe the mission takes place at Disneyworld)

The franchise has been badly managed. I don't know why Oku doesn't go full Type Moon/Fate with Gantz. Shit has a lot of milking available. Instead we get shit like Gantz G and 15 pages per month of Gantz E.

Did the guys who made the Gantz balls even want to win the war against the aliens? They made it so hard for the Japanese teams to succeed. If the system was the same everywhere its like the Illuminati wanted humanity to lose.
