I frigging LOVE Gantz. Someone on Shonen Junk got me into it and i read all 188 chapters in like…2 days! Its one of my favorites.
I only watched 3 eps on DVD, looked really cool.
Any1 knows where I can find it subbed ? (pm)
Ohyeah, gore and sex. Feel the testosteron pumping. :D
heheheeh
ah man the dub is coming to the anime network here in the states i cant wait!
I started with 2nd stage, shouldn't have done that I guess. I stopped watching it at ep 20 or so.
Just like Freesia even after giving it a lot of chances I can't still get into this. Perhaps it's just not my thing sigh but I like the characters even thought they seems to have really short life span :P. Besides, for me, the heavy useage of CG's a big turn off.
i would recommend reading the manga first, if you watch the anime at all, I watched one episode after i finished the manga and it just bored me.
I read the gantz manga and i find it nice.. Story plot unique and unpredictable..
It was the 1st manga i read whereby the main characters were killed… Only Kurono was left....
yeah that's what's weird bout gantz, like everyone dies
I stopped reading when the dinosaurs were introduced.
I'd like to get the DVD, but I don't want some half done, edited junk. Assuming that it is, of course.
Ohyeah, if you're watching the anime, look out for the censored version. Some parts are totally gone and the series doens't make any sense at all :P
i saw the first 3 episodes that i downloaded and the third one made no sense cuz it skipped like, everything.
Wow. Sounds like a winner. :P
I remember reading the first few volumes of Gantz and thinking "Holy shit, this is awesome. If this keeps up, it'll top One Piece." Ah, my foolish, younger days….

But if you read the first volume, then it didn't even get that far… and besides, Kei, other-Kei, Masaru, that kid, and the dog all survived the first battle. :P
the story's moving along again . theres that little kid and the panda which are cool. they better not die cuz sometimes gantz gets me really depressed (like when they killed off that kids gramma)
Is Gantz considered a Hentai? Cause from what I've heard about it (mainly the girl being "pleased" by the dog) it's pretty messed up and Hentai like. What's up with the girl and dog scene? There is not even a word to describe how uncalled for that scene is?
Meh, it's a young adult series.
I love all the twists and everything to the story, and the artwork just compliments it all so well…awesome series!
I agree with PirateFetus, Gantz can depress the hell out of you, but its worth it,,, I was seriously pissed and stopped reading for a while after my favorite character got killed off. But now things are looking better; just have to wait for Kei to get 100 points for the second time. Heâ€s obviously going to use the first 100 for his girl.
And I love how the panda follows Izumi around! Makes him seem less vicious,,, I just hope the poor thing doesnâ€t go the way of the dog. :(

Hmm is tehre any place to d/l it without getting server busy? ^^
I'm at chapter 4 downloading it from Directmanga, and really enjoying the story.
I could was looking for info at the manga you'd like to read but don't have the link topic, but I got lost, too much pages already XD
Gantz had an interesting first 3 missions…..but after that it got...
First,weird
then stupid with the Shinjuku massacre.
What more could I ask for? Something less pointlessly cynical and to be fair with its realism.
well who doesn't love Meaningless Sex, Killing, Aliens and Big Guns?
I don't…
But I agree with Zephos, Gantz was interesting for about 2 or 3 missions, then it just got redundant and boring..
i dont think it'd be old if chapters came out faster. I 'm still interested to know what exactly Gantz is but its just that chapters are 19 pages of a lot of action and not much plot developement. I could wait a week and all the chapter is is two people being chased down stairs, and someone gets a gun to their head. Too little happens in that many pages
I'd like to see non-bitorent episodes of the uncut Gantz.
My god, i downloaded all of it from Stoptazmo, only to realise my mistake. Read somewhere that it actually had blow jobs in it. hmmmm, was it chapter 168? can't remember. All i remember is at that moment, i froze with disgust, to see if it was indeed true or not, i skipped to chapter 168, one look and i deleted the entire series from my PC. (Still can't believe i downloaded it). <_<
I really can't take stuff like that!!!.
Which chapters in Gantz had scenes of sex?
gantz is the best
uncensored version of anime is out on dvd and can be downloaded go to baka-updates.com for details hehe
again GANTZ is the best
What about MY question?
someone know where to download the raw manga and read translation …like arlong park but for gantz?
You gotta read Don't remember the chps
The Ending of the Tanaka Aliens Mission
The Beginning of the Buddha Aliens Mission
The End of the Solo Mission
To get to the sex scenes
And Starlight it's funny how you got upset over a scene involving a blow job
in case you hadn't noticed before hand Gantz isn't for the faint of heart the beginning where Kurono & Kato got run over by the train was enough to make me say OMFG then the scene where Kurono is getting head - Funny coming from a guy who read the Hellsing manga & wasn't that creeped out about it
i caught up to GANTZ near the end of the current mission. i thought the beginning reminded me of yu yu hakusho, but i got addicted. and i do agree, sometimes it seems REALLY dragged out and such. but right now, i am into it. i really do like the artwork, even if they do use computers and such. they should make a live action movie of GANTZ. i think if ne manga should be adapted into a live action movie, its this one.
It wouldn't really work as a live action movie & sure as hell not as a live action TV show, The story is too big for a movie & the violence & sex scenes left as is would wind up getting the movie an NC-17 rating mostly because of the violence, TV show because it would really look low budget hopefully they'll come out with an OVA.
well the characters dont have ridiuclous hair styles and it'd be easier to find actors to play them. and i'm sure a movie is possible with all the technology we have today…
It's the most disgusting kid's manga I have ever read.
Um does Gantz even come off as Shonen
Back when I watched Anime Network on Demand I saw this previewed on DVD Dojo and it looked cool, I read it up to after the first mission and stopped and only saw the first episode which I downloaded off LimeWire which sadly was edited so if anyone knows where to get the uncut anime with subs or the dub if possible but dought it post links.

Can't be helped! I hate scenes involving blow-jobs! Like I said, I didn't get the chance to read it, so I don't know how violent it is (skipped to chapter 168, remember?) :laugh:
Well the violence,occasional vomiting, & crying at first can be a turn-offer
but that was the only time somebody ever gets a blow job in GANTZ the only thing about that part I didn't like was how she kept messing with Kurono's balls before she started
Take it no one knows where to download the uncut episodes.
@Sandai:
Um does Gantz even come off as Shonen
Shonen manga is primarily directed towards guys, and since most guys stereotypically prefer action, fights, and sometimes sex, it would be safe to classify gantz as one.
Sometimes the distinction between shonen and shoujo is blurred though.

It could potentially happen. After all, Japanese are more lenient in terms of censorship (I mean come on, they put pokemon on a pbs-esque channel over there -_-). But I'm if they made a live or something, they'd put it out on late night tv when most kiddies are assumed to be asleep.
Overall though, I agree with what you say. OVA would be the better way to go. Plus, it will more likely attract sub groups to rip, sub, and release than a live, even though they are growing more popular these days.
Gantz is a seinen, young man's comic - I'm quite sure about it even without much of reading Gantz ifself.
I just got caught up and….woah..
! The mission ended and basicly everyone got 100 pts and started bringing people back to life, after bringing back people who died in the current mission and Kuronos girlfriend, Kato was brought back to life who if you have forgotten after all this time was Kuronos childhood friend and died in mission 3 XD.
! Kei was gonna be brought back too but Kurono hesitated cause they were using there pts on him instead of themselfs so gantz got evil and brought back the evil Jr. Highschooler..Then…being pushed Kurono chose to be freed, now hes alive again and have no clue of anything about Gantz anymore. I say hes just gonna get his ass killed again and he will eventually remember things or just get new memorys.
Who agrees with me?
Well, all I'm going to say is that I think Kurono and Tae are one of the most boring couples that I can think of off the top of my head. Any time the manga focuses chapters on their relationship, I can't help but just not care.
Yea, I know what you are talking about…..actually all the relationships in Gantz are boring.
Incredible manga, really. This shiz is totally ridiculous.
…
I'm almost caught up with Japan, conking out at Chapter 222. I do not know what everyone expects from GANTZ, but many are saying it's starting to suck because Kei reverted back to how he was in the beginning; I thought that was bloody interesting. Furthermore, though I dislike fanservice and sex in manga (especially because the latter is usually rape, like in Tenjou Tenge), it's more tame in GANTZ than something say, Berserk. The worst are a few lower shots and exaggerated breasts (fanservice), which appear on almost every chapter; tolerable evils.
It's interesting to note that, while most of the relationships in this are "not interesting" because this is a seinen manga and not a shoujo, Kei and Tae's relationship is an exception; unlike the "crushes" Kishimoto had for Katou and the shy girl had for the Homo, not to mention Kei's fling with Lara Croft, the Kei x Tae relationship is genuine love; Tae is a plain, intelligent, somewhat isolated girl. For Kei, a relatively attractive boy, to actually go for her of his own volition (after the dare) and be so utterly torn when she died, it's pretty poignant. Now, both characters are bumping around in the dark; I wouldn't be surprised if they fell in love again before they found out they were in love in the first place!
Really, this is awesome. It's now my third favourite manga.
Bah, old thread.
Anyways, I can see where you're (Malintex) is coming from concerning the Kei/Tae relationship. I'd just rather see what's going on with some of the other characters a little more instead of when they had the main focus on the cute little relationship they have (had?). Note that I didn't say that I wanted more senseless violence and nudity despite it being a seinen manga.
Ok, now the true reason I revived this thread, to pose this question:
How do you defeat vampires?
Answer:
! Why, you go to Akihabara and buy SUN LAMPS!!! WTF
Though I will give props to Kurono for buying some that were battery powered. Especially after they cut the power lines.
one of the best mangas ever. i loved it, can't wait for phase 2.
ne-ne-necropost. Can't really complain tho, I love this manga, am anxiously awaiting…
TEH NEXT GANTZ CHAPTER 11/22/2006 THAT'S FREAKIN' SOON =D
actually just finished reading up to 11 of Oku's other manga, Me Teru, what a weird romantic comedy. (love triangle w/ a dog?!?)
