What a shame. Still one of my favourite manga, but that was a bad ending. He gave up, we could all come up with something a lot better than that, but he gave up, didn't want to do anymore and that was it.

This ending was so reminiscent to "Independence Day".

LOL, kill the aliens, save the Earth, get back to earth from their ship before everything goes to hell.

Once you arrive to earth, be embraced by your loved ones....

I want to be fair with my final impressions of GANTZ.

There was a point when I considered this manga to be very damn good and I actually had it at a 10/10...obviously that changed drastically due to the inconsistent plot holes, abandoning sub plots for no apparent reason, and giving us a pretty crappy ending arc.

Regardless, the majority of this manga was a THRILL to read and it had many great moments.

Final Score....7/10.

It's too bad, the manga's still easily one of my favorities but damn, this last arc was just not good. I'll remember it for the good times like the Buddha alien mission, the Oni alien mission and the Nurarihyon/Osaka mission.

Very cliche and rushed end, a real shame. Actually, I was enjoying this arc of the Apocalypse, there were some epic scenes for example the aliens invading the earth, the discovery of others "gantz", Kei climbing a skyscraper with bare hands, etc.

However, this will remain one of my favorite series of all time, I just feel sorry for the end otherwise I would have given a perfect score.

Thank you Hiroya for these unforgettable 13 years of publication! 9/10

I didn't think the ending was horrible, just the epitome of mediocrity.
It was just incredibly cliche and predictable (and resolved little, if anything).
While it was somewhat marred by this last arc, I still think the series, for me, deserves an 8/10 as a testimony to the quality of the earlier parts of the series.

Anyone expected something good after everything that happened in the last couple of arcs? The author clearly had no idea what to do with the story and every chapter was just a waste of pages and tried to drag the story as much as possible.

9/10 for the 1st half of the manga, 5/10 for the 2nd half. Overall 7 but +1 for the good old times, because i love his artstyle and actually never dropped in quality .

8/10 final score.

I didn't enjoy the ending, I felt the whole 'everyone who died in this arc gets revived' plot point was contrived (as was the entire beach scene, really) to force a happy ending, although I'd still give the manga a 9 simply because of the fond memories I have of the first 300~ chapters, as well as the bright spots in Katastrophe.

Not surprised by how disappointing this last chapter was, but it's a real shame since the manga in the early years was simply godly. But this last arc, and especially these last 30 or so chapters, was nothing but dragged out stuff that left a rather sour taste on my mouth.
Not sure if I'll keep my 9/10, or drop it to an 8.

This manga was SHIT long long time ago. I use to like up until the aliens from sky started to appear. The arcs before were great and the arc when Kei had to fight without his suit on the match (and won some awesome points) was awesome.

I first find out about this manga on Band of Hawks forum, guys who translated Bersern before and started to follow it but now I wish I skipped it.

Such a waste of time and ending is so rushed....

So, ending not morbid enough? Or...

I've read several ending suggestions, most of much worse than this. So, what kind of ending would you like? Add some constructive critique, and Voilá! We could even make a fan version ending!
All I say is, it cold have been much worse, and I challange you to try to come up with a "better" ending than Okus. (I'm really glad that Oku didn't try to "expalin" everything like we were 5 years old. Good endings are often short. That leaves the "rest" to the reader to decide what happened.)

P.s. Thank you Oku for your hard work! I've enjoyed your work really much!

Oku sensei can do better than that, in amv or into anime I think this last chapitre can be very incredible.
This manga is a classic even if the lastest arcs are average, you have to watch it for the atmosphere. I remember how Italie and Nurarihyon was great chapter =)

Man, looks like everyone hated the "Hollywood Michael Bay Happy Ending" lol, I'm not gonna complain, to me that Vampire arc was ridiculous. So what, they saved the world and everyone is happy. Kei is a freaking world hero. At least its not one of those complicated "open ended" or cop-out endings that everybody hates. Yeah I agree it felt rushed and had many holes but at least WE GOT AN ENDING.

Who knows, now that it's officially over, maybe another anime adaptation can be made and they could right the wrongs that many fans say this series had. But c'mon guys, yeah Gantz is all about the gore, misery, and people dying that normally wouldn't but oh well, it could have been worse. Kei lived, he's got his girl, it's over. But yeah, it was one big clusterfuck of a final arc lol

Well, that was a huge disappointment.
Here's to the unresolved plot points-

What the hell happened to Nishi?

What was up with the Vampires? Don't even get me started on how much shit was left out with the Vampires.

Also, we never really got a complete reason as to why Sebastian sent the Gantz technology to earth, I know that he said it was to re-establish order on earth, but that seriously wasn't developed upon.

Nishi's return seemed almost pointless in the end and we ended up getting an insulting, sappy, ridiculous ending full of obnoxious plot convenience. Gantz had a lot of really good ideas but the longer and longer the series dragged on, the more of those ideas got dropped by the wayside. Also Tae is a horrible, underdeveloped, mess of a character.



1. Nishi died. That much has already been confirmed. If he didn't die from the Giants ganging up on him, he died from the explosion.

2. The Vampires were seen a chapter or two back, in the same situation as the humans. More than likely they didn't get involved because they deemed it as humanitys war and not their own.

3. Again, God Aliens. If you don't understand why the Gantz tech was sent to Earth at this point...you obviously haven't been paying any attention

No closure. No explanations. No resolutions. No hilarious deaths of main characters. It looks like Hollywood's influence took over whatever shred of brains Oku had left.

Rating this series anything lower than a 6, however tempting it may be, would be a disservice to what it once was: a non-apologetic, satirical gorefest. One worthy of reading for the past 4 years.

6/10 - Fine


Uhh...he basically answered most of every question and filled up any plothole. Yall are taking this too damn serious.

If anything you should be taking points off because the ending was just a bit too much on the cliche side.

Ending was too rushed and cliche but meh, I'll stilll give it a final rating of 7/10 since I have enjoyed the manga and its been a good read during the last 4 years, with disregards to the final arc.

Easy.

1. The Aliens want to steer the ship into the planet for revenge, to wipe out both races since their is no alternative planet for their race anyway. But the Alien woman Kei met helps him, they stop the aliens course for the planet in their controlroom. The alien woman initiates self destruct. The humans in suits flee with the ships, but a continious flow of Aliens try to re direct their ship onto earth, so someone has to stay behind and stop from doing that until it explodes.
And that person is Kei. He's sorry he can't keep his promise to his girlfriend on the camera, all of humanity see's how Kei gives his life to protect humanity, no, to protect the ones he loves.
The sky explodes in a huge and silent firework.
And then he becomes a legend of a hero with statues and shit.
And the girl was pregnant ofcourse.

2.OR The aliens had a beam that could shatter the whole Earth, and Kei stopped them from using that beam by destroying it and their hero. But then the aliens suicided their ship into the planet, and there was nothing Kei could do. He failed.A fraction of humanity survived.
He died and is later revived by still functioning underground gantz on the scourged empty surface of what once was Earth.
Millions of different aliens now swarm towards earth, since its easy to populate now, Kei and few others will be the immortal fighters that kill those bastards and try to find still functioning gantz balls etc.It turns out those who have been revived by gantz cant age.
He becomes the merciless monster killing the alien societies on future earth, instead of one of those that protects earth like before.
And maybe Gantz will have a new function.
