wow that was a 27 beautiful pages of a waste of time…pacing is not this guys strong point...a translation isn't necessary even though the scanlation is out...you can basically tell the whole thing just by watching the characters because nothing important is said...
GANTZ
-
-
This chapter was cool but it was largely just a "omg, chaos!" sort of chapter. Introducing the last arc. But seeing as Gantz isn't the biggest manga in terms of progress per chapter, it'll be good in the long run.
Seems Berserk and Gantz are on the same wavelength. The both had hiatuses that were for the same length starting and ending at the same time, and started with eye candy chapters…
-
Did we… Just have... a-a...
Fair amount of dialogue?!
-
Well Gantz is back and with colour pages
So it seems Tokyo is Crushed and war is about to begin and that the Gantz fights where indeed a way to train fighters for the ultimate war
-
Pretty sweet chapter, but as has been said, pacing is not Oku's strong point. Oda had more plot movement in the first half of this week's chapter than this extra long one had in its entirety . Still, visually stunning and a fun way to get the final part started.
I'm wondering if the Gantz gang is going to meet up with the aliens who sent the Gantz instructions to the fat crazy German chick. Are there aliens that are against the ones attacking now, or was Gantz's purpose something other than training?
-
I thought it kicked ass. I enjoyed it to the best of my ability and not try to think about all the bullshit "truths" that were recently revealed.
The visuals in this monster of a chapter were just awesome! Especially that weird mech thing at the end.
Best part was Nishi standing in public sporting two gravity guns. Ready to tear shit up!
just fucking pimp I tell yah!
-
The chapter was good. I guess other Gantz teams from other cities will be assembled in order to beat those huge robots. Action starts next week people !!!!
-
Rekia's tits got bigger
Tae got cuter
enemies got stronger
P3 looks promising -
Nice chapter…although the ending was meh for me.....Somebody get a phone and call Tom Cruise only he can save us now!
-
I can imagine Gantz creating 1000 Kuronos who will beat the crap out of the Aliens ! XD
-
^yah know…. i can actually see that happening
then they battle for Tae!!!
it'll be like that one episode of sealab.. with the Quinn clones
-
You know, with the "right in your face"-attitude of Gantz, I could easily see the world just being destroyed, with the Gantz team being unable to do jack shit.
And I think I would like It.
Happy endings are overrated. -
well, after reading Nishi's rant on all the "cattle" I wouldn't mind.
Seriously, with Gantz, Oku has gone out of his way to make the average japanese public look like complete mindless sheep and it has made me lose any ounce of care for them.
-
@iSheep:
Happy endings are overrated.
Indeed. As Gekko said, Oku has shown us how utterly stupid the normal people of Gantz are and that the world ending would be a good thing because who wants to live in a society that is that stupid…looks around...dammit...
-
will gantz have a live action movie? thanks
-
No, it won't. At least there is no plans for it now.
-
What a fucking amazing start.
-
There ARE plans for a live action movie, actually.

-
…so I started reading from where I left off, waaaay back when the anime was just starting.
And... holy shit. This series went from really fucking trashy to REALLY FUCKING GOOD.
Especially with every scene where the old man featured prominently, along with the bit where the little kid flipped out on those monsters using the moves he learned from watching Kaze… just wow.
Yay pulling a complete 180 and all that.
-
thanks Yashu7, I thought it will have a movie because of the extra pages on chapter of gantz :)
see the news and it will have a movie
-
The new chapter just had machines destroying everything.
-
thanks Yashu7, I thought it will have a movie because of the extra pages on chapter of gantz :)
see the news and it will have a movie
Yes, i also saw these extra pages, and it was some kind of interview with Gantz' creator. I haven't heard about movie then yet.
As for newest chapter, damn, there was less talking than in typical Bleach chapter xD At least we can see some good background art, unlike in Bleach :P
-
this guys pacing is why i stopped reading, there's no point in reading it in pieces…i'll for it to finish then pic it up then
-
noo ni-chan get away….zzzz boring chap
-
the reason i had quit reading was because there was no damn story. i mean finally 300 pages in and we have a pssible story starting
before all it was, was people dieing and then playing a game in gantz. and then over and over again till get 100 points to revive a buddy. absolutely no story at all.
-
but the mystery is why I kept reading. The story was that they were stuck in a situation they really couldn't understand. And that lack of understanding is what makes the games so dangerous. That coupled with their troubled real lives made the tension even higher. Sure there wasn't a direct, in your face, story-line. But the mystery surrounding the underlying plot was what made the early games soo good. I WANTED to see them live and advance, because in these life or death situations, the players arround Kurono became closer with him. And he was also growing himself through these games.
Seriously, the end of the Buddhist alien mission was just soo well written. EVERYONE but Kurono dies. All those friendships and connections he made were gone… and he was alone. Just when they were forming a true allience, now he's back to square one.
The "games" were the best part of Gantz.
These new developments are sweet, but as Lordzeb stated.. one might want to wait until it's done and then power-read the last stage.
Reading chapter after chapter of the long ass Osaka game for a whole year was somewhat excruciating. Especially when the 100-pointer started rampaging. The cliff-hangers were just too much

yea it was great for a while, but then it started getting rediculous and withtou a story to help out it lost its spark.
and thought this was a hilarious game in the fact that wow were the earlyl games super pussy. and then each game the monsters are like so insane and dangerous that if they popped up in them in the beggning they would have been dead instantly. The guys that are being thrown in the game now are getting the shaft, they have such harder levels to master for their first time
-
Maybe it's different in Japan but if giant robots started destroying buildings and I was in one, I'd get the hell out of there.
-
New chapter was okay. Could have been 15 pages though with all the wasted panels. I really don't need to see a robot look left then right like it's going to cross the street. Other then that, the "horsemen" robots were cool looking, and the destruction was intense,one-shoting buildings was cool. I wonder if they all still think it's a movie…
-
New chapter is out
! We've got some new robots and yeah, that's all. Still, loved the scene with the family and especially the art.
-
! I suspect that the one in the last page is a 4+ foot machine. The manga sure goes extreme up to eleven. :P
-
Like the the whole" Japan is Fucked" theme, robots on the ground, swarms of gantz jets in the air and of course the huge doom bringer coming outta the sky is setting up for some awesome chapters. Only complaint is the wasted panels showing the same thing twice for the first few pages. Oh and Kirlin guns ftw.
-
wow awesome super sized master chiefs…they prob worth like 500pts lol...i think next chap is gona be nicee
-
For a moment there I thougt that the family were going to live.. That's because I haven't read gantz since april.
The machines seem to be trigered by childs, the last chapter started atacking against a baby, and now when we saw the family's child.
-
Good chapter ….it was fool of splatter and stuff.
-
i just got into the manga myself after all my guy friends telling me how badass it is. i'm around chapter 20 and holy hell were they right. it's so sick, but i'm addicted.
-
definitely digging the splatter going on.
but i dunno… i'm kinda underwhelmed by this massacre.
This is cake compared to the rampage that Izumi went on. At least in the violence department...
-
The best character in this manga..was the one who "fucked" Aliens from the Osaka team. I hope that the second part will be animated so that we could see again how awesome he was.
-
Dude. I just read 306. This is pretty much going to be an insane massacre.
I. Love. This. Manga.
-
that spectrum nexus site sucks, damn site keeps trying to give me viruses
-
I just googled the chapters and went from there. P:
-
well I haven't read in awhile and caught up just to find out that nothing has really happend besides a major robot invasion. There was 1 page spread that was color and it looked like it was full of photoshop, I couldn't even tell if any of it was drawn at all.
-
The reason it looks photoshopped is because this series is a mixture of CG and hand drawing.
All the characters are hand drawn while most of the background is CG. Hell it might even be real photos doctored in imaging programs (like Photoshop)
-
oh I see, it just feels "fake". Even though I know it's not.
-

Sixteen QFTs.
I'm curious what comes up. -
Kurono started destroying aliens once again. AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!
-
307, much better. At least someone started fighting back although what i would really like is just a bone on what's happening since those "truth" chapters didn't tell us anything. I'm also wondering when Kurono got one of the 100 point guns. It was sweet that his classmates finally saw that other side of Kurono, finally called him by name. Glad the chapters are picking up, makes me excited for the next one.
-
seeing the human race getting anihilated and no one doing shit was starting to bug the hell out of me. Well at least in this chapter kurono started doing something, i'm waiting for someone to take down that giant space colony lookin thing.
-
Finally somebody fights back. Figures it'll be Kurono and he takes down two. So the invaders are aliens using Gantz type suits. Good to see it's almost finally confirmed that this is the alien race whose message that one fat retarded girl intercepted and used their technology to make Gantz and it's weapons. Now we just need confirmation that it's true purpose was to train humans against this alien races invasion.
