The art while improved as compare to Arc 2 was not as clean as Arc 1. With the battle scene shifting to Osaka the art/battle reminded me as if Gantz met Nurarihyon No Mago(Nura: Rise of Yokia)Īrc 3- (rating 4/5) - I really enjoy the Alien invasion and there treatment of humans - very original. The plot went hey wire with the vampire angle leading no ware. Add in the character development, love angles, suspense, story - we end up with a awesome manga- This is almost 237 chaptersĪrc 2- (rating- 3/5) - The art or the scans deteriorated.The story focused on battle scenes which were not as good as arc 1. The battle scenes are unique in being clean and well drawn (normally battle scenes in manga are just plain bad).Loved the Buddha battle scenes. The manga can be divided in three Arcs and i will give different ratings to themĪrc 1- (rating -5/5) - Original concept- starts off slow but the interesting plot with the beautiful art keeps you hooked. Had a marathon reading all 383 chapters in one go- took me two days. * Gantz has been running weekly in the Japanese magazine Young Jump, which has a circulation of over 1 million.Įach volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory. * Dark Horse makes Gantz available in English for the first time with its U.S. * Gantz has been one of the most popular adult anime in recent years with over 175,000 copies sold!

What you do with your new lives is up to me!" And what this orb called "Gantz" intends to do with their lives is make them play games of death, hunting all kinds of odd aliens, along with a bunch of other ordinary citizens who've recently met a tragic semi-end. by some kind of alien orb with a nasty message. alive? Or semi-alive? Maybe it's reanimated. What a waste! And yet somehow they're still.
