GANTZ

kurono of course
-
Gantz Osaka raw is out. It's basically the epilogue to the Osaka team and shows what happened after they got transfered back.
! All 4 (Kubawara, nerd and the two girls) go back to the Osaka Gantz room.
Gantz starts giving out scores.
The first girl gets over 100 points and since her boyfriend is dead she choose to be free.
The second girl gets over 100 points as well.
Without her best friend around she chooses to be free.
Kubawara gets over a 100 points as well and chooses to be free (Fucking lame) but tells the nerd guy that he'll be dead in the next game.
The nerd gets 80 points since he used the head of that 100 point alien to kill a bunch of aliens.
He's now shown walking around thinking about how he promised Kato to revive Anzu.
He then gets teleported back to Gantz and there's also a little girl there.
They both get teleported to the Rome mission.
He gets a some kills but gets his arm ripped off by one of the cherub angels.
After this happens he and the little girl get teleported back.
Gantz starts giving out scores and he gets over 100 points.
Chapter ends with him choosing to use his 100 points to revive Anzu.Is this some sort of Omake chapter?
-
Gantz is pushing it to new hights. I don't know ANY of the charakter in this chapter. The only thing I can remember is there being somesorta kill on sight alien in osaka. But I might be mixing this up the Budda mission.
-
Wow Kurono is dumb.
-
that was a boring chapter…well what do ya expect from the bleach of seinen.
-
Still lost on Gantz being the Bleach of seinen.
Where's the Gantz version of Aizen? Where's the lack of backgrounds? Where's the stupid numbering of aliens that don't necessarily start from 1-10? Where's the complete ignoring of characters for hundreds of chapters? Where's the bunch of chapters with the same title? Where's the mistreatment of female characters? Where's the mistreatment of all characters except for the villain that the mangaka has a hard on for? Where's the power levels?
I can go on and on. Gantz is vastly superior to Bleach in every way possible.
-
I only say that cause of the pacing and that's it.
oh and the vampire story arc that oku completely ignored let's not forget that.
-
another very good chapter
the vampires forgotten is the only bad thing in Gantz at the moment -
I don't like these giant four eyed aliens. Oku has drawn some wick looking aliens and these ones are not impressive.
-
Gantz has accomplished more in it's limited monthly-ish time schedule this year than bleach has in it's normal weekly timeslot in the past 5 years.
Gantz has been utterly rough around the edges for a while, but don't even compare it to the burn victim known as Bleach.
-
I don't read Gantz and I don't know if its been brought up before but I just came from the theaters and there was a preview of a Gantz movie, with real people. I don't know how that would make anyone feel but there it is.

If its been brought up before just ignore this post. >_>
Edit: Nvm, just did a search and it was brought up before. This post is now irrelevant.
-
Seems good. Always was hoping it'd happen.
The plot and premise would work great imo for an Americanized tv show as well as a movie.
Since in the series NY has already fallen I'd like it even more if it was a great series where the main characters lose.

It's pace is still sluggish as all hell, this arc didn't get remotely interesting until sakurai blew away those aliens with his psychic abilities, I waited for chapters to build up and all I got was KEI CHAN TAE CHAN over and over and over. I would rather have aizen saying "just as planned" over that Inuyasha name calling bullshit.
-
Gantz is actually one of the best choices for a live action adaption. It's a rather episodic action series set in the present real world. And Japan has plenty experience with live action superheros in spandex suits. Totally different starting point than Dragonball or Cowboy Bebop.

The only reason it's "sluggish" is because of it's schedule. It still gets a hell of a lot more done than Bleach. Things seem to be going at an alright pace.
What you're complaining about it writing. yeah. Tae sucks. She really really sucks.
But what you're missing, is stuff has been happening. Events have been moving. I could name off all that's happened in the past year, but you've been reading too. The quality of the story is one thing (it sucks right now), but pacing is another.
Gantz(shitty arc)>>>>Bleach(any day)

I know about GANTZ schedule which is why I let the chapters pile up for awhile sure we got to see a little bit more into the aliens world and what was being done to the humans but it's all been put aside for that whole tae and kei B.S
the pacing is bad but no where near as bleach which is surprising since they both use the large panel framework and yet gantz can manage more out of a chapter than bleach. Shamo is another example of using large panels and it used it's panels better than both gantz and bleach.
and for the record I wasn't calling Gantz the exact copy of Bleach. Just the pacing of chapter to chapter feels slow.
-
The only thing that I didn't like was some of the management (like the vamps introduction and current disappearance), pacing and writing wise was the KeixTae love fest which was needed at first for Kei to grow but all the Inuyasha shit recently was indeed annoying other than that when you reread these 300+ chaps over it flows quite well.
-
The biggest disappointment for me are these aliens. We went from paled ass people with green hair to Buddha statues, to dinosaurs than demons than a whole shibang of crazy ass designed aliens that I guess are suppose to be based off of Japanese folk lore (so I assume) than fountain angels than we get these guys. Giant aliens with 4 eyes…such a fucking let down.
-
Yeah I actually agreed with what you said earlier, these giant horse face aliens are annoying to look at and piss me off from time to time especially since we'll be seeing a lot of them until this is over.
But I guess Oku wanted to keep it simple and I bet he isn't thinking he has to outdo the last design of every group of aliens he introduces.

You did? must of missed that sorry.
An I would think of that odd seeing as how the designs for the aliens did get crazier and crazier but than the whole statues bit seemed out of place after the folk lore aliens. Those felt like they should of belonged after the buddah alien arc.
As for these four eyed aliens being the last, I get the feeling that the vampires will be the last. I see it as such:
A giant group forms to take down the alien base (which is currently happening)
and they succeed but lose alot of people even characters that we have all come to appreciate.
The world is now in ruins
no government = choas ensues
the vampires see this as a perfect opportunity to take control of the world
a last stand is made to fight them.
Cut to a millenium later. The world is no longer known as earth it is known as Gantz, people no longer have to die to wear the black suits since now everyone wears one it is authorised at birth the suit will grow with the person it is designed for. There will be other various rules and regulations.
and an explanation of how they will sort out aliens from humans.
the end.I know it doesn't sound like a good end but it would bring closure to the vampire story and restoration to mankind.

New chapters out
http://www.mangareader.net/gantz/331
man they could really have used the monsters help in this war, imagine the aliens faces against the 100 point monster
-
Oh Damn, Page 13, Keanu Reeves joins the fight. Kurono kicking ass is always nice in a chapter, still wish Tae would get crushed or something.
-
Damn that was pretty badass Kurono good chapter overall well except for the usual….fucking Tae-chan :getlost:
-
Loving the new guys. There's what, 5 of them now?
And like 4 of them are taller than Kurono lol. -
Kuruno is so badass. To bad he's not there to lead his troops.
-
But the clone is there, so it still counts, in fact, I'd say the clone is better off,no ball and chain named Tae attached to his ankle.

I agree, Have 1 kurono lead the infiltration while the other rescue's tae chan.
This chapter was damn good.
LOL Keanu Reeves
-
It'd be best if it was the Kurono before he got involved with Tae chan. The one that was at the apex of leadership and badass alien killer.
This one probably loves Reika or is going to and wants to protect her.
-
Only Gantz would flesh out the transfer process for as long as it actually takes. Are they going to spend a chapter searching the apocalyptic world for toner when Gantz runs out?
Come to think of it, why can't Gantz just clone an army of people who have won the game repeatedly? Sure, there would be a lot of issues sorting the matter out after the victory, but preventing the extinction of humanity should take some sort of priority.
-
Just fucked up the police and told the bitch to put on a suit. Niiiiiice Kurono.
-

Yeah the chap dragged. Seemed very transitional. The back and forth with Kurono wiping out the giants in their city/citadel was what made it worth reading.

Gantz doesn't really care. he seemed very flippant when he gave Reika another Kurono and when he agreed to help them despite Nishi saying no. I feel he could just change his mind. Somebody would have to get a hold of him and somehow convince/coerce him to do it. At the drop of the hat he might pull that you need 100pts bullshit for w/e request.

I wonder if GANTZ can recreate old enemies.

I was thinking about how lame these giants are and how I missed a real enemy like the 24 hand Buddha statue. It'd be crazy to see it again.
If Gantz did it wouldn't still be an enemy. He probably could I think. As long as it's in his data somehow.
-
The first thing I thought when I saw that page
[hide]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/zyordius/KeanuGantz.jpg[/hide]Did you edit that in? cause that's really good.

I agree, these giant aliens are really lame, It feels like oku got lazy on our asses. At least those insects from the sewers looked interesting. I'm hoping for that zoo to break loose since that had a lot of interesting looking creatures.

Edo Tensei, Gantz version? no, please.

They'd crap themselfs if they saw the boss of the buddah arc.
-

Yea, the pic is a drawing of Neo's face, I just cut and pasted it with minor touches. Now that I think about it, I should've done this with the Fabio alien.

I do miss those crazy aliens that made you really question who was going to live through the horror. I too like the past alien designs/abilities better but I do like the tech and war machines of this recent race.
-
@Zik:

Exactly. The dinosaur mission and faux human fight were the highest points of Kurono's Gantz career. However, what was his motivation during those times? To survive and return home… To Tae.
Kind of oops.

oh man that would have been great
the alien design themselves for this arc are boring

We didn't hate tae back than. So why should we now?

Well there's very two different Kurono's in that aspect. His motivation when became great at this was to survive and go home, then everybody died but him and it was to survive and bring back his friends by getting a 100 pts. He got most of those ppl back and then his motivation switched to survive and go back to Tae.
I feel throughout the series the better Kurono (as far as the fighting) was the one that wanted to be THE MAN, that strove to be the hero, wanted to survive and save his friends until they got out of the game. The romance part of this which I don't hate was all apart of his great character development. He went from being rejected, to losing his virginity to some chick he met due to Gantz, and then he got sprung off Tae. I just feel him doing it for himself was better than him doing it for love.
EDIT
Tae started becoming a hated character when Gantz made her a target. Plus ppl just hate that InuyashaxKagome shit. Really lost on what Oku was doing and why he kept pressing that as if it was would make readers nervous or sad or make it a tense situation. He's most likely gonna have Kei save her and they succeed some type of way or go back to his old ways and kill her so Kei can go through another change.
-
just read the chapter (yea pretty slow) just one thing to say: FUCK YEA KEI!!
-
There's a live action for Gantz right? I think I saw one of their commercials in this year's Gaki No Tsukai.
-
Theres going to be 2.
GuuHv1rZMhE
From what I saw Buddha mission and that mission with the robots with chickens inside missions are in there at least.
Not sure about Onion boy though.
Oh and do I spy Izumi there?
-
The first (I think) live action movie will be showing in a theater near me in 5 days doubt i'll go pay 13 dollars to watch it though.

well he's kind of in that mode right now
-
the aliens would shit themselves if they had to fight the 100 point monster
or any of those angel statue things.
-
I don't think there's anything special about these giant aliens. Gantz may have been testing them on their world and he gave them a couple more different gadgets and had them challenge the only other species that was good at missions.
-
What's funny is that i've always wanted Giants in gantz like an alien race of them…but not this boring looking.
-
I had my fill with the giant Buddha and then the gundam Gantz suit.
