| 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. |
| gantz used to be my fav manga, now look at what they've done to it !!!!! what a shitty final arc |
| 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.... |
| I felt empty after finishing reading it....... OTL.........Knew it was going to be a rushed ending but still QQ Final score is 8/10. I sincerely love this series with all my heart despite the rushed ending. |

rheum said: Some dumbass on another forum said:  ----- 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. |
| "I got a life in my grip, she holding tight to my wrist She screaming: "Don't let me slip" She see the tears in my eyes, I see the fear on her lips" |
| This was, literally, the worst ending in my entire history of reading manga. What. The. Fuck. |
| Well no real explanation to things just a normal terrible ending alls to say that was expected would have liked to see some other characters |
| Still a less rushed ending then Eden No Ori |
| I didn't expect it to end so abruptly but I guess I'm fine with it, I'm sad we didn't get to see anything of the others anymore except on the last panel maybe but whatever |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| 8/10 overall, just because of everything until around the end of the Osaka arc. Lamarq said: 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. Revive a loved one:1 million points. Sounds pretty good. I'd take number 2. |
 |
| Gantz is an extremely awesome manga, I totally love it. The mangaka did a wonderful job! I rate this last chapter with 4. I hoped for happier ending, where all the people, who were close to Kei, are revived. |

| Just read it today. Reminds me of the Mass Effect 3 ending. Full of plotholes, create imaginary God room (in mass effect's case, god kid) that has answers for everything and just a rushed ending. At least Mass Effect kept the tone of sacrifice. This just was the generic everyone is happy ending. Loved the manga, just not the ending. This could've been sooooo much more. Too bad the author just sort of gave up :/ I'm hoping this doesn't happen to Berserk. |

| Lol, I thought the comments about the ending were exaggerated at first - but after reading it, I can't help but feel that the ending was incredibly mediocre. So many wasted pages on people screaming 'yay' and 'thank you Kei'. It was also incredibly illogical that Tae and Kato's brother could somehow know that they will surface at that coast... Man, nothing makes sense from the beginning, and I guess he wants to leave us clueless at the very end as well. At least it was a good ending. 1st phase 9/10, highlight : Buddha Arc 2nd phase 9/10, highlight : The awesome characters. Didn't like Nurarihyon Arc or else it would have gotten 10. 3rd phase 8/10, highlight : no real highlight, I actually enjoyed this phase except for the 'final battle', it was just random and stupid. Overall : 9/10 - enjoyable ride overall. Glad I read this despite the ending. |
| Most series was pretty much awesome, last arc is looked to me like a poop and I hate the 3D/CG stuff in manga so 8/10 for this, pretty much enjoyed most of it so I'm planning to purchase the volume from Dark Horse release. |
Happy Ending
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the last six pages didn't happen. |
| They should've just had the Ship fall to earth destroying both races. At least that would've been a much more GANTZ-type ending than this Hollywood ending. Seriously, it was stupid. The whole last arc was stupid. Every answer they gave us about GANTZ just brought up more questions. This manga is a perfect example of an author who did not know how to end a series. In the end....I'm still disappointed. |
| Uh.... what? Worst ending ever. |
| Just remember what it said at the end, he is working on other projects. That’s why we got this half assed ending; he wants to do something new. 13 years is a long time. |

| I really didn't like the ending at all. It's a shame this last arc was so terrible. I was already doubtful when introducing that magic power and the vampire stuff, but at least I could accept those (even though they weren't developed well enough in my opinion), but god, this last arc was horrible. I would really like to give the manga a 6/10, but there have been too many moments in the earlier chapters that I really liked and I will remember for times to come, so I'll have to give it a seven. Edalnas said: 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. And this means we are not allowed to dislike the ending why exactly? This is a terrible argument. The fact that I cannot come up with a better ending is also part of the fact that I did not even come up with the story. Besides, I read it for my enjoyment, and even though you might've liked it doesn't mean I should. No offence, I don't mean to say that if I don't like it nobody should, but the argument you use to justify the ending and claim it should be liked it just bad. |

| It wasn't that bad.. 9/10 good manga rushed ending. |
| Ending was crap 7/10. How did Kurono even survive? |
Guns47 said: Tokyo's just fine despite the mothership falling. Oku didn't really think this through. Despite losing consciousness in the middle of the ocean, Kurono and Katou awaken in Tokyo Bay. Oku didn't really think this through. Tae's still not wearing pants, implying that no time has past despite the guys being lost in the ocean for two or three days. She's not wearing pants because she's a slut. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the last six pages didn't happen. That would be good news, but I question your logic. What do you think happened? That that was the afterlife or something? Because it was explicitly stated earlier that no such thing exists. It wouldn't make sense in the Gantz universe, not that very much really does, but still. |

| Well its finally over, that final battle was disappointing to me, loved this manga all the way until the end where it just doesn't fit with how I look at it. Well at least it has an closed ending thats all i will say. |
 [/url] |
| Wish Katou was better, and Tae had died... Didn't care for the ending, though I wished someone else continued or at least assisted Oku in writing this series... Other than that I'm still fine with the story. I had thrill reading this and it slowly went away near the final chapters. Lost it's ratings.. |
| Huge disappointment, the whole series was brilliant except for the last arc which was rushed and full of lazy writing/storytelling. I found the whole end of the world invasion as an easy plot device to end the manga fast, easy and add too many dumb shit/moments. The last arc I truly enjoyed was the Nurarihyon Alien mission, also the Italian mission was good. Goodbye Gantz, I will never forget the epic train scene where the train gets sliced in half, the sex scenes, when Izumi disguises himself as a black man and kills almost 400 people in broad daylight, when you killed the main character in an epic way, oh and when Hoi Hoi (the panda) earned 40 points... goodbye. |
| Almost there |
| Why didn't Tae at least put on some clothes. And how did everyone know to meat Kurono and Katou at the beach? If they had enough time to bring a bunch of helicopters, why didn't they.. i dunno, send a life boat? Well this is a manga, where crazy shit happens all the time. So I guess I can't complain about that. |
| I expected 100+ pages in the last chapter . The mangaka troll'd us. |
| I am disappointed :/ |
| That ending was pretty weak. I was enjoying up through the first third of the final arc after that it started to lose it. |
 |
| I LOVE GANTZ. I was along for the ride with most of the final arc until that un-Gantz esque ending. There's a hole in my heart now. P.S - I voted LOVED IT because it's Gantz, and I still LOVE IT. ;_; ;_; ;_; ;_; ;_; |
