Heh. I just commented about this one...GANTZ is one of my favorite mangas ever, and I relish reading every chapter even more than Naruto (don't look at me like that! :P).

Also, if you wish to read it--since it's unlicensed--you can download it at two places (one has the first part, the second has the...well, second heh).

Tried reading the manga, but I just couldn't handle it. Well, not the gore/killing part.. I just can't... go past volume 3. XD;;;

Killing of the entire cast of characters is in itself a reason enough to read this manga. Gantz is terrific, you have to read it!

kevin77

11-10-2004, 05:53 PM

Yeah, Killing off characters is like the main theme of this manga. Actually the 2 main characters got killed right off chapter 1. But the story is very addictive. It is also a very well drawn manga. There is still tons of unsolved mysteries.

Don't watch the anime tho, coz they censored everything, and censoring is lame.

guys if you want a manag that is even powerful than Gantz, check Koroshiya Ichi
i love this genre of manga, but this one was probabily the most brutal one ever, I actually felt like throwing up after reading it. check the encyclopida of manga under my sig for a review of it.

Yeah, i read that manga too. Actually, I first heard about the movie. I watched it found it quite cool and went for the manga. Boy was I surprised to find out that the manga is even more violent than the movie! It's not only the gore scenes and all, it's also the themes treated that are disturbing. Some examples are Extreme masochism, rape, necrophilia.... The story is awesome tho.

mow

11-11-2004, 11:40 PM

*still drooling over avy* yeah ichi was brutal, the sex ,(espically when ichi ummm.. relieves himself using blood to ejaculate) was extremly disturbing, and those twins, my god, wehn they cut of the woman's nipple, yuck. Yet strangly i couldnt stop reading it!!

anyhow alos check out this scanlating group,
omanga.net

check MPD Pshyco, its a great mnaga too

kevin77

11-12-2004, 02:42 AM

hehehe. I can't even stop drooling over my own avy.

Yeah i used to get my Gantz volumes from omanga.net too. But then they suddenly stopped translating Gantz so i had to switch to http://shocwave.caticus.com/index.html.

Those twins....they used to be triplets (lmfao) were really messed up. But not as messed up as the main bad guy. Remember when he cut a guy's penis in 2? I was Shocked with a huge S.

Wow, read a synopsis of MPD Pshyco. Sounds great. *starting download*

Thx :)

What do u think about gantz

Gandhi

12-12-2004, 08:34 PM

I’ve only read the first two volumes so far. No great feeling either way yet. The art is very professional... it's so clean and realistic it almost lacks character. They showed how it's produced, using 3D rendered figures for the postures and backgrounds. The premise is interesting spin on existing themes (sci fi reality TV) so I'm reserving judgement until I've seen more. It raises some interesting questions but we've yet to see what it does with them. There's no over-arching plot to speak of yet... just questions.

Ganzt is one of my fav. mangas at the moment, as Ghandi has already mentioned the artwork is simply superb, the story might sound weird and unconventional at first, but give it time and youll become intangled in it

How much have you read, moe? Is it available anywhere else? I'm gonna start getting myself some points in that community so I can read more stuff over christmas :)

Ive read till volume 17, chapter 183 you can find it here

butr honestly, if you want a manga that will make your mind spin and believe mangas should win a nobel prize of literature, check 20th Century boys
http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=10849
its by the same mangka of Monster (which you can also find in anime-source)

20th CB is a splendid read, personally its the greatest manga Ive read in my entire life, and i have read tons of manga in my days.

Gandhi

12-13-2004, 03:39 PM

Oooooooooh, sweet. Thanks for the linkage. I read most of Monster, but I skipped to the end... damn, that was epically long.

Looks like I've got some reading to do there though.

mow

12-13-2004, 03:43 PM

monster was a wonder to read, dont you think? The mangaka is a terrificwriter to say the least. I really enjoyed it.

Gandhi

12-13-2004, 03:47 PM

monster was a wonder to read, dont you think? The mangaka is a terrificwriter to say the least. I really enjoyed it.I found it a little surreal, to be honest. I was speed reading it, and having come straight from browsing my Naruto Manga archive and the Full Metal Alchemist manga, Monster was a bit of a shock. It's realistic and even plausible, dealing with real moral issues. I just sat there for hours reading and reading and... damn, does it never end? Yeah, it was good, but I'll have to go over it again once I've got a centuary or two to spare.

By the way, one of the download sites on that gantz link is stoptazmo. What's that about? :confused

kevin77

01-09-2005, 08:02 PM

actually 186 has been out for a while now. If it ends at 186 i'd be really pissed, altho it's doubtful, since i can smell some nice stuff going on in the future between Reika and Kei.

Chillin

01-10-2005, 11:18 AM

Kei and Reika? I don't know, he really loves the girl he was with, so much so that he is going to fight to get her back, along with his other friends it seems.

kevin77

01-11-2005, 09:38 PM

yeah ok, he really loved the girl he was with. But Reika is in love with Kei and will surely put some nifty moves on him. And Kei is not the kind of guys who'd say no to an idol. I recon the fact that Kei changed a lot since the beginning of the manga. But imho he's still a perv.

Literally Exaggerated

01-13-2005, 08:28 PM

Well, seeing as how this entire story is essentially about Kei's maturation from self-absorbed, perverted asshole kid into a mature, kind adult, I'm kinda leaning towards him ending up with Tae in the end, though he might do something with Reika before that point.

the wierd thing about Gantz is how random the plot seems at points. Like with the Vampires. its like, not only have we gotten absolutely no resolution to any of the questions as to Gantz's nature or anything, but suddenly he starts throwing in psychics and vampires and crazy martial artists and shit.

01-26-2005, 03:30 PM

i was too lazy to look for other threads based on this series, but if there is, please delete them. yea, i said delete them.lol. anyways, im not sure about the tv censored version, but after watching episodes 1-7 and then 14-25, this anime has to be either the best or one of the best animes out there! it has everything!:D im even shocked that "me" at the point of episode 22, started to cry. yes, i started to cry. i love how realistic this anime is. and when i say realistic, i mean the character personalities, the daily events, the backgrounds [tokyo], and soo many other things! im not sure about everyone else, but this anime was done too nice. i definetly can't wait to get the rest. im gonna go on ahead and read the manga. so tell me guys, what was your favorite scenes in the anime and what do you like about gantz? there is soo many questions in this show that are still un-answered. gantz the man himself is surely EVIL!!! the creator of the manga and the people in charge of the anime [uncensored], are truely geniuses!:D:)

Literally Exaggerated

01-26-2005, 08:06 PM

Yeah. Mangas like Death Note, 20th Century Boys, Gantz go relatively unnoticed in comparison to the latest cliched shonen craze. I'd say its a damn shame, but I'm way beyond that now. Any society which chooses Ashlee Simpson or Jojo over the Arcade Fire, Dillinger Escape Plan, Zero 7...which chooses Lil Jon over Common...which chooses Bruckheimer over Anderson and Brown over Eco is a society which can safely be said to have no taste whatsoever.

Gantz is great. I'm still working my way through it though.

blind51de

02-02-2005, 12:59 PM

For some reason, I really hope he brings back Katou at some time. Though Tae did really love him.

Also, the vampires are not out of the picture. They're just trying to track down the Gantz group.

My theory:
1) Back when Izumi was in his original hunt, his group was sent to slaughter a load of vampires. (Izumi himself was personally recognized). Since the vampires need certain contact lenses to see the Gantz groups, they were probably COMPLETELY OWNED by Izumi and his fellow hunters.
2) Kei's little brother is a vampire, so we have that set up.
3) The vampires are idiots, and think that the Gantz groups are vampire hunters.

Code

02-21-2005, 11:10 AM

Well i've read all the manga chapters out aside from 190. Sometimes I absolutely hate it... other times I think it's very good. But there are characters that I just despise...

I was watching the anime and it was alright. Then when I decided to look at latter episodes well... the episode threw in a background of a guy and everything adding family, troubles, etc... for the whole episode then to get him killed in an ultra dramatic way. Instead of simply having a few panels and dying the same way without the "WHYYYY?!" or whatever it was... There ended by gantz anime watching, and I heard there are lots of time-wasting filler episodesl ike that.

Dimezanime19

02-21-2005, 11:36 AM

The reason why they do other characters on the show that are not really part of the series and shows their personal lives, is to make us the fans believe in the realism of the show and that anybody can get killed wether living the good life, have a great family, or etc. I think the creator of the show was going for a more, what can happen now in our present day, sorta things.

TenshiOni

02-21-2005, 12:00 PM

:smile-big Well i've read the whole manga and i gotta say it kicks ass.

But i haven't even bothered checking out the anime....i've heard so many bad things about it. Stuff like:

1) Bad animation in several episodes
2) Bad fillers episodes--some of which go against the rules set by the GantZ manga
3) A horribly retarded ending
4) It doesn't even cover half of the manga....never gets to my favorite Hunt in the manga
5) I think i also heard that character hair colors were made unrealistic in the anime (red,blue) and thus, taking away some of the realism

:blink Not sure if all of its true, tho. I just heard this on a GantZ forum.

Noriko

02-24-2005, 08:19 PM

Gantz is basically about two high school teenagers who try to save this homeless person on the train tracks. They end up getting killed due to the impact of the train and instead of finding themselves in Heaven or something, they are transported to an apartment in Tokyo (you can see the Tokyo Tower outside the windows). They then find other "dead" people in the room and there is a big black ball in the middle of the room. The ball is Gantz and it assigns "missions" to them where they have to kill these aliens/weird things/whatever. They are given jump suits and weapons. In order to be brought back to life and escape Gantz's missions, you have to get 100 points. I guess that's basically the gist of it. Note, there is a lot of nudity, sex, and gore. But overall, it's great ^_^

Hey i was wondering is the GANTZ anime any good? im only at chap 132 right now of GANTZ its pretty good.

I hear it's pretty good up until episode 18 or so. Then it enters filler city and has one of the worst ending in anime. So I probably wouldn't look into it if I were you, but I don't mean to discourage you if you really want to. :laugh

On topic: Gantz is one of my favorite mangas. It's in my top 5 and I always anticipate every new chapter.

Mindless

03-06-2005, 07:16 PM

Three days and just vol11? I read all 189 chapters (at the time) in a day. :P

Anyway. What I think of GANTZ:

Probably the best drawn manga I've ever read, probably also the saddest and most disgusting manga I've ever read. The gore in it sometimes got to me. I'm kind of afraid of the GANTZ manga. Seeing people getting robbed of their precious ones right infront of their eyes, in the most horrible way imaginable, and some are actually not imaginable (!). If something like that would happen to me, I'd go nuts. And what's scary about it, you really get pulled into the whole story, you can almost feel the horror they feel.

That's what I think. :P

A great manga, really worth reading.

TenshiOni

03-07-2005, 04:22 PM

Well I asked because in my honest opinion I think Reika, Sensei, the Old Man, Kaze, and quite possibly the little kid are all gonna die on this mission. :confused I mean, GantZ is too unpredictable and we've seen major characters die before. Cherry and Izumi I think will live cuz they've not been fully explained for yet.

Dimezanime19

03-07-2005, 04:27 PM

Cool! Everybody join in!:D I agreed with what mindless said. That was a great summary for why you should try out GantZ

Kunai

03-07-2005, 05:36 PM

I love, love, love, love, love this damn manga, but I still have some poblems with it.

The main one is that NONE of these damn people are any good at fighting in Gantz. Kei is getting better all the time, but he still does what everyone in this manga feels like the must do: Hesitate to shoot things. Damn, it makes me so pissed when someone confronts a monster, only to stare it in the face for 10 minutes, with their gun held out, but hesitating to shoot because:

A.It's their first time in Gantz and they have no idea what the hell is going on. (This I can whole-heartedly understand)

B.They can't muster the courage courage to kill any living thing, deadly clawed monsters or not. Now this is stupid, I know, little to none of us average folk have any type of killing intent torwards anything bigger than an insect, and the first time I saw the effects of the explody-gun I'd probably barf my brains out. But once I realized the danger I and my friends were in I would be in auto-frag-the-shit-out-of-everything mode.

C.Innocents nearby. Screw them, if they're in the fighting area it's more than likely they'll be killed by the monsters if not by a misfire of your gun.

D.Other people convince them not to shoot. I mean really, what was Reika doing in 192? She could have just put the dam gun to that guy's forehead and taken care of him, who the hell would have been hit?

A lot of people hold Kei's slide in high regard, but I think it's stupid that he's only able to land a hit when he's either moving or if he can trick the alien into being in a position where they cannot move. Otherwise he puts a gun to a monster's face, let's the have their sweet time getting ready to dadge, and when he finally does pull the trigger they make it look so easy to get away. If that was me I would just run up, shoot the monster in the face before he even has time to think of dodging, then keep running. Killing 2 birds with one stone, easily taking care of the monster, and not having to see the explody-ness.

Ahh well... [/rant]

thank you SO MUCH for the 193 raw. I freaked out when i read 192 translated and at the end i basically said "oh fuck" out loud.

I love gantz

Gantz is one helluva manga somehow it reminds me of the erotic fantasies of a bloodthirsty drugaddict

Mindless

Quite a suprising chapter. Didn't expect Kei's brother to join up with thoes vampire-guys that fast and head into that world and kill the GANTZ people off.

Looking forward to a sub though.

Hey,

Was thinking about watching this anime but I would like to know if it has a happy or sad/bad ending ?

Because I'm not up to watch another show with an sad ending right now. Been watching way too much of thoose lately and I'm really starting to get depressed.

No spoilers please, just tell me if you thought it was a happy or sad ending.
I know that it might be diffrent from person to person but I thought I'd go with the majority :)

Vodrake

03-16-2005, 09:38 AM

Um, as far as I know the series hasn't ended yet, in anime or manga.

Mindless

03-16-2005, 10:14 AM

The anime has ended. It's 26 episodes long.

I've heard from people that it has a strange ending, might be a really sad ending if it ends where I think it does. :P

But have no fear, there is always the manga, and it's alot better than the anime. The anime is like a censored movie, while the manga is like a directors cut version of one. :P

So you can say you get that little extra bit of gore and stuff. :P

Right now the manga is on chapter 193. And I think the anime ends on chapter 70 or something, if you was to compare it to the manga. So it's alot of stuff happening after the animes end. The reason why the anime ended was probably because the manga is a bit too much for some, I find it disgusting at times, and I'm quite hardened I think. Some of the 'nice' stuff happening for example is a guy going berserk in downtown Tokyo, taking with him hundreds of people into death. Also at another point, Kei's whole class get's slaughtered by some alien that came into 'his world'.

So I'm guessing they ended the anime where they did because they wouldn't be able to show it on TV anyway.

But if you wan't to continue the anime, read the manga.

04-05-2005, 01:24 PM

I'm confused about the series GANTZ. It is supposed to have 26 episodes. But there are 2 seasons. I thought the second season was just uncut. So I downloaded 14-26 en watched 14. But according to www.animenewsnetwork.com the each episode of the 26 have different names, I just sooo hope I didn't spoil it by watching 14 :confused :P

Does anyone know a torrent of the first uncut 13 eps? I got mine from 14-26 W-dreamers http://www.randomnothings.com/ But I didn't see a first season

Beatnik

04-24-2005, 10:17 AM

I love this manga, but decided last year that I wouldnt read it chapter by chapter as they come out, rather I'd collect them and only read when a volume is complete. I think this is best because we all know it takes ages for Gantz chapters to be translated, and if you read it like that it really goes slowly, wheras if you read them all at once, its got more pace and feels more coherent.

So I'll see you all whenever the last chapter of the current volumes comes out, lol. (that'll be in 10 years time)

Not alot of action, but there's alot of action if you know what I mean :wink

Beatnik

04-28-2005, 12:47 PM

The strength of the manga was that random characters were introduced and died soon after without the reader knowing anything about them beforehand, we learnt what they were like through their actions. The anime goes the lazy route and makes up stuff as a lame form of 'characterization', but it just doesnt work, its too cliched and anything the manga writer didnt write means it wasnt meant to be written, know what I mean?

The manga rules, the anime (apart from episode 5 of the second stage which for some reason looks like it was made by another crew!) is mediocre.

Im on DSL connection and downloading with 1kb/sec so it would be really nice if someone has a direct download link for this anime.

Vodrake

05-30-2005, 11:15 AM

On most bittorrent programs, BitTornado for example, there is the option of not downloading some of the episodes at all. You could just start the download, cancel 25 of the episodes, and when the first finishes reactivate the next episode and so on.

05-30-2005, 11:29 AM

You can use a program like Bitcomet and download the episdoes 1 by 1 off the packaged torrent.

Ah cool, i didnt know you could do that.

Kepa

05-30-2005, 08:16 PM

Ah cool, i didnt know you could do that.
they're explaining it in a wrong way

normal downloading 1by1..
torrent A => 300kb/s
torrent B => 300kb/s
torrent C => 300kb/s
....

and what they mean is that you can select a download inside the batch torrent, as in choose which ep to concentrate on (so you can get ep1first, then number 2, etc..) - or simply choose not to down specific files...but the speed will remain the same, because you only have 1active torrent.

anyway...Shinsen-subs just released their gantz 18+19 version, so you can probably get those 2high-speed from them
and your only other option to get the eps quickly is using a different proggie (like dc++ or IRC)...but you'll have to look harder I guess. (and I won't look for you ;))

FoolyCooly

06-04-2005, 12:42 AM

Yep, character development goes a long way towards making a good story, but if you keep killing off all your characters it just won't work.

I still read it though, if only for the intense action and explicit sex scenes. :blink

But like you say, the story sucks for the simple reason that Characters are a huge part of the story.

Beatnik

06-04-2005, 07:54 AM

Gantz marathon = bliss!

The people that die develop the surviving characters, its a giant character arc for Kei really, how he deals with each death, how he changes. Also, it shows the brutality of Gantz 'himself', the entity or dude is one sick bastard, lol.

I reaaaaaaaaly hope the Tekken dude, and the two Matrix dudes dont die though, they're awesome.

I read it by volumes not chapters, so I'm waiting for 201 before reading volume 17. Cant wait!

Xan-Nella

06-04-2005, 08:46 AM

Kei is a decent lead, thing is, whats a lead without other cast emebers that you can get attached to?

Thats one of the things that makes naruto special, a lot of people like secondary character as much as Naruto himself, if not more.

Gantz doesnt have that.

I am probobly wrong but...

Tekken dude: i see him dying to protect the lil kid, then the kid dies because there is no room in the plot for him, and he has no way of earning 100 points.

Matrix Dudes: Dead, just Dead.

Not simply because there was disgusting shit going on, but because of how its affecting the environment around it, namely: the real world!!!

to be honest..its not as good as it used to be

now it seems like they go out...find aliens..shoot em return

no serious deaths...no serious fighting like the bhudhas or even the short aliens

Yea i didnt get how Kurono got the sword either.There was only one and izumi was using it :blink wierd.Oh and the other guy that was humping the Reiko lookalike - boy is he redfaced now :laughCheck chapter 136 page 8, where Kurono finds the 'Gantz-cycle', and take a look at the floor, there are at least 4 of those swords lying in the ground.

I've read up to about 190 in the manga, found a torrent with 15 volumes (about 700mb) then I downloaded the series all in one torrent (5GB *cry* took like 3 days) and I was dissapointed with how it ended, no closure..not accurate..

I thought they would of ended the anime with Kei asking Gantz what happens when he gets 100 points, and saying he would go through it no matter how many times it takes to revive his friends. In the anime, he gets hit by a train with a dead suit on, you don't see him get hit it changes scenes at the last second, and you see the appartment, with no Kei, and Gantz dissapears. What the hell is this shit. If they would ended it a different way they'd at least leave the series open to make more later on if they decided too. The anime was great I loved it don't get me wrong, but the ending..gah...reading the manga first then watching the series only pissed me off. :amazed

The manga you did this? I would love to find a site that has the Gantz manga in Volumes. It would be a lot easier.

Gantz is one of my favorite animes, with the twisted storyline, characters and jokes are funny.

Saw it a little while ago, enjoyed it, but the end left me confused.

Did he go back in time and get to put everything right, stop himself from dying in the first place, or did he just die again?

Read the manga and it will make a little more sense, the ending of the anime, and some of the characters near the end of the series, were never part of the story.

Finished the anime like for 1 min ago, and thought i'd search for gantz manga. I updated the Library 12 section and voila someone wrote it a sec after i updated. xD

Is the manga much different then the anime? I downloaded most of the manga but i havent read it yet.

The anime follows the manga VERY closely untill the Buddah mission, then they go down VERY different paths. The manga goes down a totally different road, the whole story changes and evloves, and stays very interesting. Much better than the anime if you ask me (though the anime is good too).

I read the first chapter and then I downloaded every other chapter through chapter 206 as fast as I possibly could and stayed up til 2 am 3 nights in a row to finish reading. I would've gone faster but I also had to download One piece. It is an amazing thing to make me ignore Deathnote for a while but Gantz made me do it.

Still don't know how to pronounce HAXor so it sounds like hacker:(

My only problem with Gantz is there isn't enough payback. The new guy should die a horrible death for killing Kurono's girl like that

My other issue is
If you had those choices, wouldn't you just get the fuck out of there? Especially after the current fight or the one with those super strong super fast guys where he was all alone?

Their is actually a huge difference after the first 7-8 episodes in the anime. Than it the manga just goes into a turn that makes it really addiciting. The manga gets in much more depth the anime.

Volume probably 2 or 3 or 4, most likely to start in the middle of 3. I suggest you read a tad bit of 2 just to catch on if you missed some stuff from the anime and manga diference.

if anyone hasn't been reading the manga and wants to start, or if you've missed some chapters theres this site -> manga.anime-source.com that lets you read it online(of course you have to register first and spam their newb forum for ten posts but its all good).

The timer hasnt run out, they still have 30 min. and one of the devices still work, the only thing that has happen so far is that they are visible to the real living humans.

uglymonkey

07-23-2005, 12:20 AM

what do you mean the timer ran out? in the last page there is 15 minuets left on the top half and on the bottom half its the same thing except the numbers are almost completely faded, signifying a change in gantz(like the screen turning off or something). and also when the times up they go back to the room, no matter if the mission is left unfinished, and then they lose their points remember.

DrunkenYoshimaster

07-23-2005, 12:33 AM

Damn if Izumi is that winded from just running from the guy, someone else in the group will definately die. I get the feeling its gonna be Reika or the old guy.

Since Sakurai died I doubt his master will, and from countryside general's last fight, I doubt muscle rider will dissapear so soon, though perhaps the kid will and give him someone to wish returns. I hope Reika survives this one so Kei doesnt have one more person to worry about wishing back. And I think with the gang here Izumi can look out for himself or flee temporarily if necessary.

I think the bike or something might come in handy against this guy. I wonder what the super weapons are that you can wish for with all your points reset? The vampires seem pretty cool, but theyve gotta be frighteningly strong, those 4. I really hope this mission ends soon as much as I like it, theres so many questions about Gantz that can only be answered when they get back to the room. I wanna see how many points everyone got too. What if Kei has 200, which 2 people is he gonna wish back?

And I know the timer didnt run out but why did gantz decide to have everyone visible and have the clock dissapear? Maybe he's giving them unlimited time against this one since he knows itll be their toughest fight. I almost feel like all the other missions were a trial as preperation for these vampire opponents.

I wonder what Gantz would have done if kei werent around? in that case theres no way these guys would stand a chance against the new enemies. Would you be ready to take charge if you were in kei's shoes? THe character growth in this manga is simply amazing.

Negative-Ion

I think Gantz is about to get a nasty virus from some hackers! hehehe and Kei will have to figure out a way for the whole team to stay alive till Gantz gets back from rebooting or something.

Yes, I knew he looked familiar. It was just Omega Shenron with a more realistic face. And the timer was at 15 mins.
Muscle Rider is the man.
I wonder why Kei hasn't told everyone that Izumi is the dude that sent most of them to Gantz yet. His girl is dead so there's no point hiding it anymore.

But, he looked much more abdass and powerful than Shenron he owned those people in the train station, cut'em in half.

Its gonna be one of those things like when he tells at the most random time and everyone just stares at him.
