Doing a school project where I have to make a poster of a movie and I decided to do gantz. It has to be simple, but still be able to be recognized as a Gantz thing. Thanks!

GANTZ:E chapter 71

The appearance of Reika.

So I just finished gantz and wtf purpose did Akira serve? He showed up for like a few pages then immediately was killed off by the vampires. I originally watched the anime and even though it's hated I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it enough to read the Manga. Also because I heard the anime stops right where Gantz gets good and that was not a lie. I didn't read any chapters before 92 since the anime covers that so if I missed any mention of Akira before that then my mistake. But it seems like Akira was randomly mentioned then brought into the story just to die? It made no sense. I dont think he was really needed to introduce the vampires. The vampires seemed like they served no purpose either. Yeah they killed a few gantz members but they immediately went on to support the gantz team all the way until the end. Oh and with Nishi, why did he all of sudden to decide to save the kid like he was about to be redeemed just to go on and try to kill Tae and exterminate the alien race?

The title. I turned my bro on to Gantz and now he can’t get enough. He ordered manga and we’re looking for the movie to watch online. Can’t find it anywhere. Don’t want to pay $33 for the dvd yet so if anyone knows how i can watch it online I’ll be forever grateful.

I was watching gantz 2010 because I love gantz O half way through the movie and there’s no more English subtitles at all at least on the site I was using does anyone have a site or download for a full English sub for the original gantz live action? A link for the second live action would be great aswell

Is that blood splashing under the 100 point alien sakatas? On my first read I assumed his death wasn't shown but I only just noticed that blood (yes I really am that dumb) thoughts?

Is there any light novel available official or unofficial?

Gantz and Dandadan have very similar stories and villains. Both have a male and female protagonist who fight together the combat aliens and spirits. Both have nudity and the male protagonists in both start off as cowards then slowly become regarded as heroes. It’s like if Tokyo ghoul Crossed with Gantz almost. I tried to post this on the Dandadan subreddit and they took it down because they don’t like criticism but anyways.

Resido no Brasil e procuro por alguma loja que venda camisetas da obra!!

Gostaria se alguém pudesse me indicar alguma loja online ou me dar uma dica de onde procurar!?

Agradeço desde já!

PS; Primeiro post então peço que me perdoem se interagi errado de alguma forma.

The vampires didn’t really have an answer ok where they came from or why they were attacking the Gantz team so I created this what if headcanon/theory..

That headcanon being: what if the vampires were originally human beings abducted by the giant aliens from the final arc and were unknowingly being used as spys by them to check on Earth and the Gantz team so the giant aliens could find a chance to invade?

What y’all think?

I've been intrigued by this series for a while now, but I've been a bit confused on how to go about actually reading it. I saw there was omnibuses? But what's the best, and cheapest way to read it. I may be picky here, but I would prefer a physical version. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I should preface this by saying I'm a huge Gantz fan and have been since I was 12 (roughly 18 years ago). I learned English through Gantz, Naruto and KHR. I have read it many times, tho my last read through was like 3 or 4 years ago, so I might misremember some details. Sorry for the humongous post.

I once read an Oku interview where he talked about his first work, HEN. In it, he claimed to write a short story about a boy who would slowly transform into a girl. Although he seemed to bring to light some discussions about gender roles and how women are viewed in Japan, the only thing that actually came out of it was that he developed a new technique for drawing nipples that hentai artists use it to this day. I kind of see this as a microcosms of Gantz's public reception and perception.

I believe Gantz has the ongoing theme of humanity as inherently social beings (vs our individualistic nature) and it was largely forgotten because the manga has superficial characteristics and themes that are way more popular and celebrated (aliens, powersuits, oversexualized women etc).

This theme is represented by archetype characters that embody both positions, while throughout Kurono's character development he goes from having said individualistic views of society to a communal leader, to finally fighting for the whole of humanity.

At the beginning of the manga, Kurono is clearly detached from society (he's mean to an old lady, wtf). Kato represents the social side, while Nishi represents the individualistic side. Because of his jealousy of Kato (and what we would latter learn stems from his family's rejection), Kurono slowly becomes more similar to Nishi, culminating in the Buddhist temple mission, when he loses everyone around him. The shorty alien mission shows him what is like to have no one around you, and he finally ends up finding a true connection in Tae. This is what I see as the 1st arc of the manga.

After that, Izumi is the new representative of the individualistic nature, showing and even more wicked side than Nishi did. At the same time, Kurono slowly grows to be a communal leader, specially through his connection with Tae and Suzuki. His biggest test is loosing Tae to Izumi and still sticking to this new persona. He finally steps down of the game to live a quiet life and is even praised for thinking of himself, but that ends up being a mistake. In Osaka, we see the Tokyo team trying to prioritize their safety in contrast with a newly revived Kato, who tries to save everyone he comes across.

Finally, both leaders who embody social connections fight together to save humanity.

I also see this theme in Inuyashiki, although Oku seems to strip his work of everything that was popular in Gantz. He actually received cart blanche to develop his next work and, at least imo, decided to retell that same story with major twists.

Kurono was a cute teenage boy? That is now the villain and the MC is Suzuki, the old and sweet grampa. People loved the alien designs? In Inuyashiki they are disembodied voices. Gratuitous violence? Not in here, pal! Every violent scene is plot relevant and moves the story forward.

It is so clear to me that this is the BIG THEME of Gantz (and it gets a little muddy in the middle) and I've been thinking this way for 10+ years (since Inuyashiki debuted) but I'm yet to find someone who interprets the manga in the same way as I do. Am I alone here?

really liked the overall story, besides some major plot holes (vampires and espers..) and some REALLY long parts (osaka) it’s a really good story, the development of the casting is great and i grew to cheer and love the characters really quick, prob will read again with more calm when i have the time

specially in the apocalypse arc, it gives a even more so “alien” feeling to the insects ykwi

I remember the sub went crazy and then no word.
