I don't know if he works on anything else but it is every two weeks though.
GANTZ
-
-
i remember he left for a while to do a girly shojo book. but gantz has been a good biweekly streek for a while, so he must just be concentrating on that.
i always thought that was kind of funny considering the pornographic amount of violence in gantz…
-
I heard he did some other series before gantz but none of them seemed the bit interesting to me.
-
Those previous series of his don't interest me either.
-
Sorry to bump up an old(?) topic, but I started reading this today and for some reason, despite the gore and one of the main characters dying(who I quite liked) I cant stop reading. Maybe because it's so surreal compared to what i'd expect.
Anyway, i'm up to 163…
Aliens:I can sort of go along with...
Dinosaurs: Alright, is still keeping to the theme of extra-terrestial being's disguised as everyday objects, etcBut...VAMPIRES? seriously VAMPIRES?!
If I was'nt so 'completist' i'd have probably stopped reading by now
P.S No, im not staying just for the 'pr0nz' I actually find it quite interesting-In other words, I just want to find out what 'GANTZ' is exactly(Im thinking something along the lines of 'secret government project')
EDIT: I forgot to mention those two psychic guys(WTF?)
EDIT2: Just read 241, all I can say is 'lawl' at Takeshi doing Muscle Rider's(forgot his name, Kaze?) signature move, then saying 'sorry!'(seriously I was laughing out loud)Ok, last edit, don't want to make a blog of it but I had to post this ;)
-
yeah i was like (WTF) wit the vampires too. but their cool i guess. seems to be based off the Oku's like of Quinten Tarentino films (three piece suits and katanas?).
Sakurai and Sakata are good characters (the psychic guys).
But as suprising as these factors are.. is it hard to believe that there is supernatural forces in a world with the gantz? (and aliens btw?).
oh 277 is out! very very good chapter. I predicted a lot of what was going to happen, but still good none-the-less!
-
So is Kato the strongest character that is neither injured or dead now?

read 277
(16 characters of encouragement)

Something is really confusing me, throughout the manga we're shown that the aliens may not be what they're made out to be, and in some instances we're even made to feel sympathetic for them(the onion alien's 'father', that other alien who wanted justice for his comrades, and we even see some begging for mercy(244)).
Yet, on the other hand we have them causing mass destruction and eating people alive and commiting cannibalism, but we also see drug addicted, bloodthirsty-just plain fucked up GANTZ members committing atrocities arguably worse than the aliens.
I know it's not meant to be as simple as 'Good guys vs Bad Guys' but,as I mentioned before, im really confused at the moment.
-
im really confused at the moment.
In short you have the Gantz members who're
A) Are willing to do the right things.
B) Just don't give a fuck. -
I doubt it's as black and white as that-what about the 'enemy', im sure that some of them would'nt have attacked unless provoked.(who struck the first blow in this 'war' anyway?)
…Or maybe i'm just reading into it too much
-
Well,the whole thing about Gantz is still a mystery.We´ll have to wait and see who really is the bad guy - if there is one at all.They (Gantz &Aliens)could just use humans or something like tools.
The latest chapter was good.But I sure hope Nuri dies or will die in the next chapter.Once and for all!!
-
i thinking the boss will have to go down next chapter. or kaito, and pretty much everyone will die…
-
I just had a realization!
it seems a certain "host" will be gaining the 100 points. As far as this chapter has shown us
-
I'm starting to think that Kaito will die a virgin for a third time.
-
Emperor time redeemed.
-
I just had a realization!

what do think he'll pick? powerful weapon, revive someone, or leave the game?
leaving the game seems logical, but a revival would be a pretty shocking twist!
-
It would be weird if he revived Anzu or someone like her.
-
Hang on, does that mean that the points go to the person who lands the killing blow? , if so, i'd be pretty p*ssed after seeing Kaze's performance-seriously, he's the only one with enough balls to take everything on with his bare hands!(Ok, with suit powerup, but they need that to be on-par with the aliens/vampires/dinosaurs/Oni/generic unimaginative foe anyway). Not to mention to mention Kaito volunteering to wait for the 100 pointer, but then again, maybe Gantz does'nt see it that way.
EDIT:…Damn.
Well, on the other hand some of them should have or should be atleast close to 100 by now, right?
-
Yep it only goes to the person with the killing blow only.
-
who was anzu again? was that the girl who always had her hair in her face?
-
No she the one that just died in chapter 277.
-
Is the English Gantz version worth buying? Did they do a good job translating?
Sorry, couldn't find it being discussed in this thread. They did publish the first volume, didn't they?
-
-
Quick question-Just been skimming through the past chapters, can anyone tell what exactly is happening between pages 14-18 on chapter 184?
It's probably something in Kurono's mind, yet it still seems a bit too odd to me
-
what tae being teleported out after dieing? i dunno… Gantz erasing all the evidence i guess? kinda odd too.. but it happened
-
I knew that vampire home boy was gonna show up at anytime.
-
Yep, KS'in bastard
-
I just randomly checked hbi2k's (Berserk Abridged) profile and seems 2 months ago he started a Gantz Abridged Series (G.A.S) and is up to episode 8. I've only seen episode 1, but I'll probably keep watching due to least it'll bring more joy out of the Gonzo anime.
CjDIVqwdlUYAnyways, I gotta get back to reading this. I left off a few chapters after they met the second Gantz team.
-
That reminds me how great the very first chapter was.

I hate gantz to the point I read it just to see the characters mutilated. Thx, this might cheer me up.
-
^ huh?…...what...I think i'm gonna malfunction.
-
…. did GEPPETTOMONSTER just admitt being a spambot?
-
No one posted the spoilers huh? K, …
! OMG IT'S OVER!!1 O_O

My translation:Nerdo: "I… I am going to revive Anzu, so... (is teleported back)
Katou: Th...Thank you...
Then in the picture of HS slashing Nuri it just says:
"To finally be resolved? The Osaka climax!"
-
Who is Nerdo anyway?
-
Better yet who's Anzu?
-
Well Anzu was Katou second girlfriend.
-
You mean the girl introduced in this arc?
-
WHAT!?
@lil:

No she the one that just died in chapter 277.
That was just one page ago.
-
Yep she was introduce and died in this arc.
-
! nice! so does this mean that Host Samurai gets the 100? Looked like he got the final blow! Looks like Kuwabara is still alive… which probably means that Old man, Nishi, Takashi, and ummm... what's his name.. Inaba! are still alive! ...sigh... finally!! i've been reading this arc for about a year now!
However, I got shitty news. Onemanga has been forced by darkhorse to suspend their Gantz section, so we'll probably not see any new scans there. I can find scans other places (mangashare) too, but I enjoyed the speed of Onemanga. Did the same for Berserk too. Oh well.. anyone else know any better places to find Gantz? just for other sources of course
-
Damn darkhorse is always doing this.
-
For the last chapter OM put up FH's scanlation and MS used Whatever's. As usual both were listed at MH so I'm gonna look there for the next chapter as well.

enjoy. Although the quality is pretty shitty. You still get the idea. once again… cannot wait for the next chapter.. sigh..
! looks like Kato gets the 100 pts. And rightfully so! I think it's implied with Nerdo's (i still love how we don't have a name on this geek) promise to Kato that the Tokyo and Osaka teams will not be joining each other and be returning to their respective rooms. Looks like everyone but Sakata from the Tokyo team gets to live. Kinda weird eh? Hell even Kuwabara is still alive.
! Here's a weird thought.. what if the other Osaka players force Nerdo to revive Oka? he was short lived, but really hyped. I dunno.. a theory.
! What do you think Kato will do with his points? -

! What do you think Kato will do with his points?! I think that Kato will revive Kei even though Sakata said to him that life isnt cheap (ironically, he revived Cherry before saying that) however something might stand in his way.
Not just that, the question is also, would Gantz have Kei in his save data since he died while freed? (it seems that Gantz is interested in him since he survived long enough, like Izumi though it may just be a new data for his second death then something saved from the start)
Or for that matter, why didn't Kei come to the Gantz in the first place? Maybe he pasted the time limit since he died during the transer, maybe he comes back after the latest mission.
! Also, if the theory that you'll lose all memories from what happen after your first big injury during a mission is true, then the nerd and Kato might not remember Anzu and revive her (since Kato lost his legs before her death and the nerd got a slight injury before), though others might remind them of it but then the nerd wouldnt remember his inspiration for Kato for choosing to revive Anzu (the question is also, do you think he has gained at least 100 points by killing the monsters with one of the bosses heads?)
! I was waiting eagerly for this chapter, too bad that according to some this was a double-issue, so no new chapter for about 3 weeks. -
I am happy about who got the 100 points.
-
new Gantz is out on Read.mangashare.com
! Well, i've been reading this particular game for over a year now… and I hate to say it, but i'm a little fucking ticked off. Basically we're right back to square one (minus sakata). Not that I'm saying the game itself sucked... i dunno.. it just seems to me that the Tokyo team would have had more losses in general. But aside from that, what the fuck was up with the cheesily dramatic Katou moment? His brother was praying for his return and everyone was worried he wasn't coming back. It was dramatic for no reason. The old man got both his arms blown off, Inaba had only ONE LIMB LEFT! Nishi lost an arm. And kuwabara lost all four! And they were just fine. I'm not complaining about them surviving at all. I'm just comparing it to Kato losing his legs within the last couple moments of the game itself! The rest of the players had to lay there bleeding for the better part of an hour i'd say, and they were okie dokie. But we get a dramatic miracle with Katou? very very cheesy and a waste of pages (plus it's happened with him once before). sigh... not only that, but now after an entire year, we finally have Kurono back to us.
! I just feel that this last game sorta let me down.
! Don't get me wrong, I loved all the gantz action, intensity, gore, and genreal fucked-upness. But the aftertaste is kinda underwhelming. Hard to explain i suppose. Glad it's finished, can't wait to see what comes next.
! Welcome back Kurono. We missed yah! -
Wait I thought they decided not to bring Kurono back.
-
^they were contemplating it… no one was decided on it. Just be happy the main character is finally back. And lord help us if he dies again. And haven't the gantz people learned that they are safer inside the gantz game rather than real life with no knowledge?
All of those innocent people get killed on a regular basis, the only reason they survive is because they wear super suits. Plus half the time, they can't see the threat coming at them if they're normal, and you want to go back to that? Hell no. Those people in Gantz need their heads examined.
And yeah, I was confused as to why Kato was dieing too. He was only bleeding for like 3 minutes... if not shorter.
-
exactly! the others by all physical means should have been quite dead from their wounds. but they were fine..
But I can't wait to see the what sort of shit storm of repercussions the osaka incident will have on the real world. Also it's kinda funny that Kurono is getting revived in the presence of the very asshole that killed him, nice.
Any theories of what the hell could be next? (some shit should start up.. not the usual, go back to school and live normally bullshit. Although, I guess that's what humans are best at… trying desperately to keep their routines and normalcy in their everyday existence, even if the entire world is fucked up and on the brink of insanity. Although it seems that's a point Oku is trying to make.)
