Title: Gantz
Post by: E-E on November 15, 2005, 03:11:13 PM
a gripping manga.

but no company has picked up the rights to it, which is both a shame and awesome at the same time,
as this manga is in it 18 volume and still what would be main characters are killed then replaced and killed at the drop of a hat.in a series that has violence, sex, aliens, morals, and a sense of enigma to it.Its tailors to all anime and manga fans.

dont of course confuse this with the anime, the manga is better in every aspect.

if you want a good webiste to download gantz (and other manga).. go to stoptazmo.com, a website dedicated to badmouthing narutofan.com (i have no idea why). The downloads are slow, but they have every chapter.

Go to the bash tazmo section of their forum.
All they do is spread rumors and propaganda about this guy, some of its quite funny.

right, i've been reading this pretty intensively lately (16 volumes in like 2 days) and frankly it rocks, very gripping but also makes me laugh a lot.




well done excel-excel, you got me hooked  :D

I heard of Gantz but I never saw it. The anime is popular though I haven't seen it, so I am also surprised that nobody has grabbed it. Dark Horse Comics takes my vote who is going to grab it, they just seem to do more adult manga than anyone like the original Ghost in the Shell or..... well that's all I can think of :lol:  ADV could easily publish it too.

I torrented the first 15 volumes and then got the rest from all over the web... I haven't seen the anime but the manga's pretty damned interesting...

I confess, though, I cheer every time a female character dies, 'cause I bitterly hate them all.

Don't be that way. Tomb Raider girl was alright...not useless like most of them.

Post by: Uncreativity on January 06, 2006, 01:30:53 AM
Ha, I didn't like the Tomb Raider girl on principle. And Kei was just useless and whiny and existed solely to be naked most of the time, and the idol girl was flat-out annoying. The only girl I don't hate was Tae, and I think that's just because she's not as blatantly fanservicey as the rest. Don't get me wrong - I don't mind fanservice (obviously, I wouldn't be here if I did XD) - but it's just gratuitous and kind of annoying. (And yes, the violence is just as blatant, but I like violence.)

...I still love Gantz. It's got that kind of bloodbath-yet-still-kinda-sorta-psychological thing going on. And that's pretty cool.

Your forgetting Sachiko, the really shy girl on the third mission. She didn't really have any bad qualities, although she didnt last long.

...yeah, I did forget her. But as you said, she didn't last long.

well its just getting better and better.
Chapter 253 is awesome.
Also its been licensed by Dark Horse comic...
Yay finally
(i knew these guys would pick it up)

English Gantz? Cool, but irrelvant for us who have read through like 21 volumes so far (it'll be ages before it catches up and is worth me spending money on)

As for 253, its pretty awesome. Vampires are actually getting to do stuff now rather than the boring Katou-drama although I would not be the least bit suprised if Nishi comes out of nowhere and tries to shoot either Blondie or Chiaki vamp in the back within the the next two chapters (to allow time for Blondie to kick the osakan guy's arse around)

Thread necro! As this is pretty much the only manga I follow anymore and its still good, I'm wondering if anyone else keeps up to date with it (chapter 296 is just out)?

the admin here kept nagging at me to read gantz back at the old forums and i ignored him.

so 2 years later i get bored and bump across gantz when im looking for something to read.
i apologize for ignoring you, gantz has quickly become my favorite, or atleast tied for first.

just finihsed chapter 303, im guessing another 20/30 chapters left, judging since their last fight was about 80 chapters


got done watching the anime.

absolutely horrible how they ended it.

disgustingly horrible.
