    I am thoroughly convinced this manga is going nowhere.

    It´s extra weird, because she doesn´t seem to have any visible wounds. You´d think that if such a big monster killed her, she´d show some serious open fractures and gruesome flesh wounds. Tbh, I expected her to open her eyes at some point in this chapter, because of the fine state of her body.

    Though it´s not like she´s really dead, anyway. Even if Gantz won´t ever work again, I could see some other bs method being used on her.

    Yeah, Ive got no idea whats going on in the latter half of this chapter. Is Kurono #2 controlling that giant robot that´s wrecking the alien´s city? And I guess it´s about to become a giant robots vs giant robots battle, eh?

    Also, was it previously confirmed that Gantz would never again be able to revive dead people? Because otherwise, I´d expect Kurono #1 to be more hopeful, more motivated to get her back to life.

    Can someone explain the whole situation surrounding Gantz? What I mean: Why is it that we never got a continuation of the anime? Is the manga not that popular? I´m asking, because chapters like these not only would be more fun to watch in motion, they also actually *look* as if they´re taking straight from an anime-movie, then black-and-white-nd afterwards.

    As for the chapter, don´t get what Nishi means with remore-control. He teleported himself to the battlefield, didnt he?

    Of all things, this chapter (which was decent enough) made you drop it?

    It's pretty convenient that the psychic guy never tried removing the bomb before... although wouldn't that fuck his skull up pretty badly?

    I didn't find the chapter too bad, but the plot is moving at snail pace and for a biweekly manga its become frustrating. Im with Arch on this one.

    The problem of the Gantz-manga has always been that it´s trying to be a "movie that needs to be read". If you took 100 or 200 chapters of Gantz, it´d be a great 2 hour movie. But having to wait for a single chapter for at least two weeks and then getting to read what basically results in two minutes of in-plot events is what makes it frustrating to follow.

    Most other manga -take standard stuff like Naruto or One Piece- are less "atmospheric", but instead are packed with action and events. A single page can contain a whole conversation, whereas Gantz spreads only part of some talk over a whole chapter. Contrastingly, you will only see like one or two big, text-less spreads in a Naruto chapter, and only for truly important scenes, whereas seemingly every single page in a Gantz-chapter is 1-3 big panels, having one speech bubble and that´s it.

    I still like this story, but it´d be nice if a) the pace got a bit quicker, or b) they finally continued the anime.

    Though, the worst part about the slow pace of Gantz is that it´s still totally unclear in which direction the story is progressing. I mean, seriously, did I miss something or isn´t that whole story right now just a result from the random appearance of those aliens on earth, then Kurono and the others starting to fight back, and so on, and so on? There hasn´t been any overarching plot reveal ever since that weird chapter that show some Gantz-factory in Germany. And at this point I kinda doubt that it´ll be of any importance.

    LOL, are you freaking kidding me?! That scene with the men gathered in a room felt like we were about to get some real plot progression. And then they get killed before anything´s explained, haha.

    I reeeally demand an explanation for that one guy´s enormous psi-powers. Seeing how he´s still alive after all that use of mass destruction, the downside of those powers cannot be so bad.

    "Next issue: Will Tae be okay?"

    Well, if she dies, too, then pretty much well over half of the plot for the last year has been pointless. I don´t even get why the telekinesis-boy did so suddenly. All these chapters showing him wreak havoc and then ... gone.
