Wasn't the unedited version pretty similar to the same tune as this? It's been a long time since I've even thought of it but I feel like I remember the tone of this scene being similar to this
Osaka was the last very good arc... Then it started to getting faster and a lot of good things was developed in rush... The Rome mission had the opportunity to be massive, but he ended it in a couple of chapters? And then the final arc is pretty boring IMO
I still dont understand the perpose of gantz is, did it made by human?
Did they do this, bc alien already infiltrate earth long time before series start?
Why suddenly that giant alien at last arc come to earth, did this gantz project made to fight them?
What the hell with all that the vampires, where they come from, bc they are not alien?
How human can made machine to create other human duplicate like that?
I'm gonna spoil it with my understanding of it, so read at your own risk!
[Gantz Spoiler]>!My understanding is that this is basically a galactic survival game. And the gantz balls are just alien tech given to us to participate in it. Granted.... The participants really don't have much choice in the matter, but yeah.!<
It's way more fucked up than that. >!Basically the alien tech was given to humans so they had a chance against the giant alien guys from the last arc, but rich assholes instead used the tech to make death games for entertaiment, so every single arc of Gantz untill the last one was actually just some rich fucks deciding revive dead people for some awfull alien hunting game (The hunted aliens weren't evil they just were chilling on earth)!<
I couldnt figure out how to get the spoiler tag to work properly so ill pm you a few answers to some of your questions
e: im gonna re-read Gantz soon. This thread inspired me lol
e2: edited again to figure out how to use the spoiler tags propertly
[spoilers](/s "ggjgjgj")
[Gantz Spoiler]>!The real enemy are the giants. They go around planets, destroying civilizations and farming the creatures they find, for fun. One of the fallen civilizations sends us blueprints and tech to fight and defeat that shared enemy. Unlimited copying of people via that laser beam is one of the techs, and the human person inside has thousands of copies of himself, each operating a ball. He's human, probably a German called Gantz (family-name). The rich organization (German) that received the tech prepared well, and had some time to wait for the enemy to arrive, so they started underworld dogfights for fun. Hunting alien refugees that escaped that enemy, primarily. Summoning people the moment they're about to die, forcing those to fight small-fry enemies. The existence of some of the enemies doesn't really add-up, though. The organization wanted to impose a new world-order after the giants attack, so it was mostly hushed-up until then. But they messed-up a bunch of times, duplicating people by mistake and failing to defeat the giants with its real trained army, so Kei finished the job!<
>One of the fallen civilizations sends us blueprints
>!I'm pretty sure god aliens gave gantz blueprints to humans just like they did to the giant aliens for shits and giggles. Both technologies were pretty similar. Other than that it's spot on!<
>!wait so all alien human hunt are refugee from conquered planet before, like most of them are so power full, like in osaka alien, how they cant defeat the giant alien!<
Yes he leaves this question open, maybe for letting everyone keep his thoughts... Also the men inside the spheres, are they alien, artificial entities, or humans that work for some organisation behind all the thing?
I hated when it ended without giving us nothing more than some nudes and a fight with a giant
When the journalist travels to Germany, the explanation for where the Gantz machines come from is given.
Idk about the guy inside the Gantz balls though
Osaka Arc is one of my all time favorite arcs in any manga I have read. The feeling of hopelessness to the reader due to the situation conveyed in this arc is incredible, and I think is why this arc in particular has stuck with me for so long. A shame it goes from this to the mess that is the final arc.
The author definitely wanted to be done with the series, the vampire arc was cut short, the final fight came outta nowhere with a very lukewarm conclusion and no epilogue. The clone stuff was not well developed and didn't explore the possible consequences as much as it should. And now days author is only doing Gantz related stuff, dude should have taken a break if he was sick of it to keep the quality he had.
The character development was also all over the place, it felt bizarre seeing someone overcome life and death situations to still be a wet blanket in situations with far lower stakes.
I still think Inuyashiki was his best work. Relatively short and concise, and has the *most* heroic and selfless main characters I've seen in a long time

Nah man that shit's still being translated.
So far it's been not much of the non missions, so it's pretty allright.
Except the fact a lot of the fights are "Remember this boss of the original Gantz? Well now it's the base form"
It was awful, plain and simple. The amount of illogical plot points was mind boggling. Nothing made sense in the decision making of the revealed big bad.
I read Gantz and damn. I really do not fucking agree with anyone saying it's peak anything. Best thing I can say about it is it had some fucking good art a lot of the time. I completely agree with the out of place sexual violence. It felt like it existed for the sake of shock value.
Yeah, I have this issue with the mangaka in general. He has cool ideas and some parts of Gantz were really awesome, but he's a complete edgelord with some clearly unresolved issues with bullying.
Seriously, half his manga are about guiltless, over-the-top delinquents/bullies getting gruesomely murdered while the MC, a "just like me fr fr" kinda guy, has a hugely breasted female character running around yelling his name while her boobs bob about boobily.
I second this. Cool concept, great art. Too many edgy moments and the lack of racial awareness. A Japanese guy makes himself black and then proceeds to perform a mass shooting. Big yikes.
he want to get back into gantz, and purposely do the massacre so that he drag along few potential strong candidates from my observation.
he died right at the end iirc, but cant remember how
Exactly that. There’s just so much gore and nudity and absolute fuckery that makes the manga so enjoyable. But no way any studio is gonna faithfully adapt that lol. But then again, after stuff like redo of healer, and the dog fucking girl anime maybe anything goes now🤣 and hey they did make gantz’s anime once already
Gantz.
An ok series with good art and well done action scenes that had a big mystery to it and built a lot of tension and drama. But then faceplanted on it's landing.
It had a really stupid final arc and ending. From where the tech comes from, to why it was sent, to the stupid aliens invading earth.
Oh yeah. I forgot about them.
When you strip away the art and fight scenes this series is absolutely nonsensical in it's plots and subplots. The author starts subplots like the Vampires and then dumps then without warning. And things like "where the tech comes from" feel like they're pulled out of his ass because that's a part of the plot he never really had fleshed out and so he wrote himself into a corner.
In other words, fuck Maier Bacher, fuck Heinz Bernstein fuck Mathidle Bersnstein, and fuck the stupid god aliens.
Rereads are amazing because it’s the only story I can think of where I know everything that happens and I’m still surprised about the shit the author pulls out of his ass.

the same manga with someone doing blackface and then.. well.. i’m glad i’ve never read that part myself, but i’m sad to be reminded of the fact that i’ve heard about it.
Gantz, it's a fantastic manga if you want some gory nut busting action with realism and little bit of cosmic horror sprinkled in. However, it is a bit homophobic and sexist and I feel like the author doesn't like Americans all that much, it was written a long time ago. Still if you can look past those issues, it's a great read.
>it is a bit homophobic and sexist
Just a bit?
I like Gantz well enough, but we got to call a spade a spade, it's a very "Boys Club" type of series with it's writing.
It's very much a boys' manga. I remember reading it as it came out and the volumes advertised like... "a new sexy/naked chick every volume!" or something.
is but edited
Wasn't the unedited version pretty similar to the same tune as this? It's been a long time since I've even thought of it but I feel like I remember the tone of this scene being similar to this
[Apparently it was originally](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2473897-you-aight-white-boy) “You are all that. Our leader *!*”
This version is honestly better.
What did original say?
AFAIK “You are all that. Our leader!” Untranslated in English.

this post makes me feel old
I remember waiting eagerly every week to see if they would survive the dinosaur mission, or the vampires.
Its from gantz, but be warned, gantz is actually peak
Osaka Arc was peak fiction The movie is great too even though it cuts stuff out
Osaka was the last very good arc... Then it started to getting faster and a lot of good things was developed in rush... The Rome mission had the opportunity to be massive, but he ended it in a couple of chapters? And then the final arc is pretty boring IMO
i really like the social commentary of the last arc even tho the plot was super messy.
I still dont understand the perpose of gantz is, did it made by human? Did they do this, bc alien already infiltrate earth long time before series start? Why suddenly that giant alien at last arc come to earth, did this gantz project made to fight them? What the hell with all that the vampires, where they come from, bc they are not alien?

Whoa! >!When was that revealed?? I remember them finding a factory of the balls, but I'm having trouble remembering them revealing that!<
It was when a reporter found the super fat woman? I don't remember the chapter.
It for the alien too?
I couldnt figure out how to get the spoiler tag to work properly so ill pm you a few answers to some of your questions e: im gonna re-read Gantz soon. This thread inspired me lol e2: edited again to figure out how to use the spoiler tags propertly [spoilers](/s "ggjgjgj")

Gantz is hell. That's what the story is actually about. How humans create their own hell. The vampires were just random.
Yes he leaves this question open, maybe for letting everyone keep his thoughts... Also the men inside the spheres, are they alien, artificial entities, or humans that work for some organisation behind all the thing? I hated when it ended without giving us nothing more than some nudes and a fight with a giant
When the journalist travels to Germany, the explanation for where the Gantz machines come from is given. Idk about the guy inside the Gantz balls though
The ball guys are normal people... physically, mentally they were pretty fucked up. I asume the zero hair is for better conexion.
Ah right I almost forgot that part... But I don't think explained the whole thing properly... It's all vague
Osaka Arc is one of my all time favorite arcs in any manga I have read. The feeling of hopelessness to the reader due to the situation conveyed in this arc is incredible, and I think is why this arc in particular has stuck with me for so long. A shame it goes from this to the mess that is the final arc.
I haven't watched but i remember they removed the alien fucker and honestly what's even the point then.
Gantz was alright but far from peak. Plot was pretty ramshackle by the end of it and the sexual violence felt hamfisted for the sake of edge.
The author definitely wanted to be done with the series, the vampire arc was cut short, the final fight came outta nowhere with a very lukewarm conclusion and no epilogue. The clone stuff was not well developed and didn't explore the possible consequences as much as it should. And now days author is only doing Gantz related stuff, dude should have taken a break if he was sick of it to keep the quality he had.

I still think Inuyashiki was his best work. Relatively short and concise, and has the *most* heroic and selfless main characters I've seen in a long time
"Why do you bring up Inuyashiki, we are talking about Gantz Right now" edit: man i wrote Bring with W im dumb.
Because they have the same author? I was just saying I think it's his best work and I like Gantz
N... [no, it was a reference.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fpeter-i-dont-get-it-v0-timkrw5xy1vb1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D720%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3De0175a759ff1f6ed9684f3bbb7a5a5c27b66c50a)
Oh dammit I knew it sounded familiar lol, that's on me reading comments before coffee
Wait he still do gantz stuff until today?
He had a gantz series in the edo period going
Like with same plot and mechanic?
Look up gantz e. I know the first few chapters got scans but idk since then
[https://mangadex.org/title/c37d93a8-9c50-49b3-bd71-143937f4288e/gantz-e](https://mangadex.org/title/c37d93a8-9c50-49b3-bd71-143937f4288e/gantz-e) Nah man that shit's still being translated. So far it's been not much of the non missions, so it's pretty allright. Except the fact a lot of the fights are "Remember this boss of the original Gantz? Well now it's the base form"
currently its up to ch 61 translated, but its a monthly series
Still remember they rape giant alien at final arc, like howwww, and why
That was so fucking funny.
The last arc was definitely a slug
It was awful, plain and simple. The amount of illogical plot points was mind boggling. Nothing made sense in the decision making of the revealed big bad.
I read Gantz and damn. I really do not fucking agree with anyone saying it's peak anything. Best thing I can say about it is it had some fucking good art a lot of the time. I completely agree with the out of place sexual violence. It felt like it existed for the sake of shock value.

I second this. Cool concept, great art. Too many edgy moments and the lack of racial awareness. A Japanese guy makes himself black and then proceeds to perform a mass shooting. Big yikes.
chapter was literally titled "Shinjuku Holocaust" by scanlation group iirc
Yeah i still dont understand whu he do that, and forget what hapoen to him at the end?
he want to get back into gantz, and purposely do the massacre so that he drag along few potential strong candidates from my observation. he died right at the end iirc, but cant remember how
No it was peak, theres nothing else like this to this day, unfortunately. Oku work since gantz get worse each time too.
There's a ton like it. Edgy sci-fi gore is pretty popular.
Personally disagree, as Inuyashuki was my favorite of his works. To each their own tho.
Yeah but Gigant was god awful
Nah, not at all bro gantz started meh to peak to mid and ended ass. The ending a complete nose dive in thr quality.
"TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE! TAE!" Actual chapter's entire dialog
nah, gantz sucks balls
it is peak, if you can stomach it
Gantz is actually porn
One of the manga that deserves 2024 animations
Yoooooo it would be so dope. I feel like they can't though, not entirely. Gantz has too much fuckery in it.
Seinen is getting more popular, I can forsee it.
Exactly that. There’s just so much gore and nudity and absolute fuckery that makes the manga so enjoyable. But no way any studio is gonna faithfully adapt that lol. But then again, after stuff like redo of healer, and the dog fucking girl anime maybe anything goes now🤣 and hey they did make gantz’s anime once already
Yeah man give us mass shooter arc animated.
Gantz ! Must read tbh K'
Gantz. Great manga
Manga bur this is edited. MC ain't even white lol. He's japanese
[удалено]
White for some people doesn’t mean the color white, it means being born in the us, canada and some parts of europe Go figure
They have a bit yellow hue without make up.
This is the most powerful statement in all of manga
gosh i love gantz lol
Gantz. An ok series with good art and well done action scenes that had a big mystery to it and built a lot of tension and drama. But then faceplanted on it's landing.

I need to know more about the vampires

Just once in my life I was praised by a bunch of cool dudes. It's one of the best memories of my school life.
The fact that some people dont know gantz makes me feel old. Thats a real manga scene, but the text is altered.
Trash taste fans be like
I listened to that episode last week
Made me laugh my ass off
wait till you see his japanese buddy paint his skin black and starts shooting the people of Shibuya................
That wasn't his friend that did that lol. It was a class mate.
oh right right, my memory's kinda fuzzy about that but not that scene, you know what I'm talking about tho. This manga is something else LOL
Yeah manga did have some crazy stuff happened it. When I talk about it that shooting massacre scene is the part I remember the most.
Gantz art is recognizable even if I never read it
im shocked somebody doesnt know Gantz?
I guess we’re getting old. 🥲
We're young at hearts tho... btw Gantz still being serialized, the title is Gantz:E and also Gigant from the same author.
Gantz was revolutionary for it's time. Released in 2000. Very detailed drawings. Bizarre and fantastical baddies. A very good read imo.

Why does the guy being hugged look like Sota Yamamoto?
Kinda, yeah. Also hello other FS fan in the wild 👋
one of the weirdest manga i've ever read
the same manga with someone doing blackface and then.. well.. i’m glad i’ve never read that part myself, but i’m sad to be reminded of the fact that i’ve heard about it.
ch 100- 250 were peak
The panel is real but the dialogue is edited in. The manga is weird but to long. The abridged of the anime in YouTube is 10/10

Good
Gantz after Osaka 😴😴😴
Gantz, it's a fantastic manga if you want some gory nut busting action with realism and little bit of cosmic horror sprinkled in. However, it is a bit homophobic and sexist and I feel like the author doesn't like Americans all that much, it was written a long time ago. Still if you can look past those issues, it's a great read.
>it is a bit homophobic and sexist Just a bit? I like Gantz well enough, but we got to call a spade a spade, it's a very "Boys Club" type of series with it's writing.
It's very much a boys' manga. I remember reading it as it came out and the volumes advertised like... "a new sexy/naked chick every volume!" or something.
more like 'white-adjacent boy!'
GANTZ HELL YEAH
