| I suggest any one reading this: stop reading 10-20 chapters into the invasion, then look for summaries. That ending was pretty underwhelming to say the least. Still a great bad manga though. |
| i can't believe it ended with that? a meh ending and shit writing |
 |
| Ok ending, I expected more and better tbh. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| It felt very rushed. When I got to the 3rd to the last of I was confused like huh? When did they end up in the water? Floating for 2 days? And then all of a sudden , helicopters showed up but they are walking on shore? Some how every knew exactly where they were to greet and huh? Smh. I read this whole thing in hopes it will be a great ending but I was mistaken. Still , it's an awesome manga nd I will have to say it will be one of my favs but alot of info is missing. I love the pop up characters but what are their back stories? All of a sudden the 2 vampires show up after a bunch of chapters, did muscle rider ever find takeshi? Did Nishi actually die or he's just stuck there? No back story on Sebastian or Kekichi (however it's spelled) There's just alot of things missing that I wish was explained more. The ending should be been longer than 36pgs but all in all , I was gonna rate it a 10 but bcuz of the ending I dropped it one to a 9. Even though the ending was bad , u can't knock the story down. It was really long but the story is still phenomenal. |
| Why does everyone hate Tae, when KIshimoto or Reika were far worst characters ? |
| Well some people are way too bitchy, it was a good manga, and it learned to be heartwarming, some people can't understand that and think only gore gore but there has been a lot of it I'll miss Kei Kurono, he'll be a worldstar I guess, he can finally be free with Tae (hated for no reason) People bitch too much, yes it was horrible arc, but guys the memories... Man all Kei have been through, it's been fantastic, let's admit it. Rape, gore,alienfest, human immorality and stupidity 9/10 Get real people |
| Talk about ending the series with a bang. Interesting premise entirely wasted on this alien bs. 5/10 |
Hiro was right about Gantz. Never should have read it. XD |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Lol i was thinking on reading after inuyashiki, but apparently is bad |

| Gantz is a masterpiece. Never a manga had ever given me the experience that Gantz has. This is a real Seinen for mature people. I love Inuyashiki but it can't even compare to Gantz at all. They're completely different even though there are some similarities obviously. I'm still looking for a Manga/Anime that would bring me into an apocalyptic/Psychological adventure and make me feel like i'm there. |

| manga last chapter is not precisely bad in terms of disapointment, but really rushed. this last chapter could have been developed 2 times longer. really good manga, loved last arc. had some flaws, didn´t explain certain stuff properly, but in general terms, it was a great read. |

| Very rushed ending, but I always thought Gantz told it's story very fast. Gantz is just a mess, but it is also really fun. Enjoyable Manga :) |
| Re reading this, still a rushed and unsatisfying ending worse than the anime ending . |
 |
| This was a masterpiece until the catastrophe arc. And the overuse of "Tae-chan!" and "Kei-chan!" was really annoying. |
| “Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.” ― Saint Augustine |
| The first part (Onion Aliens Arc to Buddhist Aliens Arc) is great. Kurono is cool, because he always manages to find a way to win. The third arc is definitely the best one in Gantz series. The second part (Kojima Tae Arc to Italian Aliens Arc) is not bad at all. There are great development with some Tokyo Gantz members. The last part (after Invasion Arc) is quit a mess. Tae and Kei got separated several times. They yell each other their name dozens of times. A bit too focused on Tae, so it's really a shame that Japan Gantz members don't have so much screentime. Moreover, the author killed Reika for nothing. That monster is not very tough as Kannon or Nurarihyon, so they can just kill it together or run away. In my opinion, the author could use her death a better way. But I feel so bad for Sakurai to die like that. He and Nishi are probably the most rational humans, compared to Kei and Katou. I'm very disappointed at the end, because the end really sucks. The final duel should end between chap 380-381, with Kei using his own strength to defeat the Hero of Giants. The chap 383 could replace the previous one, then it could end on Tokyo Gantz members' postwar life. So I give 8/10 for this series. |

| The whole last arc was fucked up nothing explained and what happened to the aliens and they don't even have an order or a commander it was like a fucking street fight invading earth like crazy. 4/10 I could have gave it less but liked some stuff for example how Kaze survived and some other ones but fuck happened to Nishi? |
imagine 13 years of reading GANTZ for an ending like this. fucking dick slapped so hard  |
 |
| incredibly underwhelming - just felt really awkwardly paced. |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
CriticalShock said: This ending makes the anime ending look good... Only in chapter 305 as of now. Seeing all these comments and how decisive they get me intrigued So far enjoyed the first 120ish chapter the middle was a bit of a mess, Suddenly vampires that really didn't go anywhere, more fluff with some intriguing concepts but was still a mess, more death, rebirth and plot dump and now final arc. Yep, this should be interesting, to say the least. |
| I enjoyed Gantz from start to finish, ignoring many of the mistakes or things that I did not like, as for the final arc I loved the premise, see the world destroyed, the alien invasion ... pitifully wasted half of the arc looking for Tae in "Tae Bizarre Adventure" What this girl is immortal or something like that? The end feels forced and incomplete or hurried as many say, partly makes me a little happy for characters I who wanted to have their happy end, but I still feel dissatisfied with this end. But is a good manga and fun to read from start to finish!! |
 |
| LOL. I don't give a damn about the ending, I would give it a 10/10 just for its Great artwork. Great manga. Almost marterpiece imo. 9.9/10 |
 |
| I actually thought that there would be another chapter to tie up most of the loose ends before concluding the manga... While it was great to see Kurono and Kato survive in the end to be cradled by the ones most precious to them, an afterstory chapter where they show what the remaining characters I knew and loved ended up doing would've made things perfect. A timeskip depicting the reincarnated deceased could've been a very emotional bonus too. The vampires were already glossed over but I don't really mind. It's strange that Kurono's dad didn't mention Akira's disappearance at all though. The whole mothership blowing up and leading to the extinction of a whole species thanks to their already decimated military was a big injustice to Fra's memory yet they weren't given enough time to talk about it. Surprisingly enough, I liked the final arc a lot even when compared to the other arcs of this manga and the final battle specifically was especially nailbiting for me. The ending was lacking but all it needed was one more chapter so that's unfortunate. |
 |
| Lol as long as an anime/manga ends on a happy note, its a good ending for me. Really enjoyed this manga 9/10 |
 |
| The final chapter felt so short. Even if the author isn't going to tie up all the loose ends, it still feels like it needs an epilogue. Why did the alien ship start self-destructing when there were still remnants of a civilisation aboard? They never succeeded in destroying that tower. Besides, I thought it was supposed to collide with Earth? Did Kato and Kurono fall from space? Those alien bikes were not insulated. No reunion for Muscle Rider and Takeshi? For such a long manga, it was often sketchy on details. The story has a lot of threads and holes that were just forgotten about, and big events that were glossed over, which is amusing, because in the omake for volume six, the author trashes The Lord of the Rings and says the story sucks. On the same page, he praises movies like The Thing and Independence Day. I suppose Gantz is like those latter films: a huge set piece without much plot depth. Nonetheless, like a Hollywood movie, it was exciting in a sort of brainless way. I wish the author focused more on the writing and plot, but the artwork was consistently stunning, and the characters were quite appealing. I don't feel like I wasted my time with this manga, but given how good it was in the early volumes (or even just ten volumes ago), it could have been brilliant. The ending is extremely flat and unsatisfying. |
| I'd understand if it was only the game participants, but pretty much every character in this manga acted like an uninhibited 2ch shitposter, online or not. With that said, it was a fun read. The art was kind of lulzy, ranging from laughable character designs to both creative and ridiculous use of tracing. Mostly, it was the alien and monster designs that stood out. As far as the story goes, the first phase was pretty much the meat of the manga. Everything that followed was just convenience and a really bad followup. Ironically, things would've probably been slightly better if some of the crucial story elements weren't explained, like the origin of Gantz and what the real threat were. Then again, it's shlock, and judging by the author's other works, I doubt that he initially intended this work to be ambiguously metaphysical. It's just the tiddies. I wasn't exactly sure what to think of the characters at some point, they were conveniently thrown around for the story to progress, and the only established thing was that Kurono is a guy that doesn't back off. The others were just there to flaunt their muscles or breasts, also the big guns and other gizmos. It was kind of disappointing to see what was happening with some of the crucial characters after their reappearance (like Katou, or how some of them are literally just forgotten like the vampires). All in all, it was a fun read, and despite the flaws, I can see how a lot of similar newer works draw their inspiration from Gantz. |

| Did Oku forget about the vampires? Lol, this ending was super rushed. |
| after reading many of the comments... i think people forgot that most of the vampires are dead, Izumi killed 3 of 4 bosses (only Hikawa survived) an we don't know if anyone besides Kill Bill an the black guy who didn't got to fight Izumi were left alive, the black balls stopped working when that advanced civilization decided that they were not going to help humans anymore so the objective of the remaining vampires (as an organization that opposed the Gantz team) ended there as for the ending i didn't understand what happened to the alien mothership, i am guessing it did not crash on Earth but why did it exploded? or it didn't explode perhaps? as for Tae, i liked her, she cared about Kurono an suffered the loss of her parents at a young age, saw an lived through some terrible stuff and she doesn't have any kind of superpower, she saved Kurono s live at some point an gave him meaning to his life when he used to hate humanity, why would i hate her? because she cries in the middle of a fucked up situation? that makes no sense to me |
 |
| the ending is just relief after everything that happened i thought every1 was gonna die or sum 4 certain can t imagine how the ppl who read it for 13 years felt abt the ending tho but i read it all in 2 days so it s cool lol i am left w a lot of questions but that s life ig |
| I didn't know the series before, except for the movie Gantz:O I watched on Netflix some years ago... I remembered the movie and decided to try the manga just because. I loved it!!! I might be wrong of course, but I believe the hate I see here is mostly bandwagon. I don't really see the reason for so such reactions, other than it being a bit rushed and maybe "too happy" for Gantz. In my opinion the ending was great overall! But I liked Tae pretty much from start and I was glad to see that the author didn't make her pass through so much just to end her up violently with the sole purpose of making Kurono mad - which in my opinion would be even more predictable then the actual occurrences of the manga, and more cliche too. As a whole I'd easily give Gantz a 9/10. I really ended up liking most of the main characters and I really enjoyed Kurono's progression. I also quite enjoyed the author depiction of human being in general (like how he points hypocrisies and even malice), although sometimes I felt they were quite dumber then in real life given certain situations. It also seems to me that Hiroya Oku enjoyed creating it and didn't hold back in drawing what he wanted about sex and violence, that for me is really important as I enjoy to see an artist making what he wishes to do rather than fearing people judgements and censoring his own work. Maybe it's the time it was created (2000 ~ 2013), cause nowadays I feel like most artistic creations in the medium doesn't take such liberties. I absolutely loved it! Would watch the anime, but I didn't like some changes I read about, specially about Kurono's characters. |
