i love the emotional part where "you aight white boy!" was said, truly a masterpiece
It is one of the panels of all time
Definitely one of THEM panels 😭😭
I'm so happy to see others appreciating Gantz.
It has been my favorite manga for YEARS.
my first manga, recently reread it and it didn’t disappoint
Gantz is *such* an underrated manga, and this video essay was *so* well done. I really do hope this gets picked up by the algorithm sooner than later!
thanks sir :) well that is partially up to me haha
It's not Underrated, it is just good for what it is. Gantz was at its peak back when it came out and that's how it got an anime adaptation (which was terrible :/ ) and even though it's been quiet few years since it ended, the manga it's still well known and so is Hiroya Oku, his style is just unique (for female characters mostly lol).
I remember reading it the first time, just finished it in 2 days nonstop on my work days off
Nope, gantz is not underrated at all!
I love Gantz so much, Kei is easily one of my favortite protagonists of all time because of his amazing character development and the story had me hooked so much that i read over 200 chapters of it in one day. Peak series fr
It definitely has the strong effect of being a page turner :)
Same happened to me. The ending tho is out of this world it's crazy lol.
@ambiguoususername2966 the whole entire final arc was something else 😭 but it still didn't take away from being such a peak story for me
@@pxcci3566 I need to read this 3 times to understand what tf happening in final arc 😭😭
@gnom4530 I don't even blame you lol, the art got more messy and everything was all over the place, I def need to re read the final arc again too 😭
gantz will always be one of my personal favorites, only thing that holds it back is the last chapter i wish the manga had like 5 more chapters to wrap it up better
I agree 100% still an ending better than most manga tend to get unfortunately :)
For me I still some times wake up in the middle of the night and remember the unsolved vampires plot point.
Hiroya Oku's portrayal of humans in Gantz is compelling because he doesn't sugarcoat how deep and dark human nature can be when they are given the power to kill. Every character in this story has a messed-up background story.
Gantz is unironically the closest thing we'll get to XCom in manga form.
I love Xcom
This series is so amazing! Love seeing someone bringing it back
Thank you for this video. One of my all time favorites to read. Very cool, very good job!
Thank you for doing my favorite manga justice. Great video essay.
Thank you so much for creating this video. I love Gantz so much and hearing this was amazing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done here! The editing is nice and crisp, and the overall message of cosmic insignificance struck a chord with me.
Thanks sir good to see you as always :)
Before I watch this vid I just need to say this. Gantz is in my top 10. I know it has its flaws but I just think when Gantz is good, it’s really f**kin good. Shoutout Osaka arc. But it was thru Gantz that I decided to dive into the works of Camus, the idea of absurdity, and what it means to live. Everything that happened in Gantz could very well happen to us today, it’s just a matter of when. But even when it happens, we must never forget to live, if not for ourselves, then for them.
100% agree :)
What I remember most is that eventually the characters get to meet ~God and they ask it actual questions like what's the purpose of life, and the God actually answers back without backing down and giving a vague lame reply like I've seen in so many other series.
Essentially they meet beings that dispel that any gods exist and they only sent the gantz technology because they thought fuck it, not because they cared about humanity. I think the strong point of the scene just instills in us that we could have easily been enslaved by the aliens because some cosmic beings were like yeah sure give them the guns.
It’s not so much god but aliens with power beyond what we can comprehend
It wosnt God it was just higher adanced civilization that understood base of life and doesnt think that such construct at soul exist and living beings are just mess of bio mass and information of memories and personality that they can replicate. Technicaly every time they got teleported in series they died, they been deconstructed and constructed somewhere else. Its the old sci fi teleport paradox. When they learned how teleportation worked they were horrified becasue they werent sure if they are even themselfs anymore or just clones with same memories. Its quite interesting
One of the all time greats! And not just because of Reika.. But she helps
Erika but more importantly Sei. *deep breath*
I follow you Ryan
For as many faults the series has its in my top 10 manga of all time. I adore the transformation of Kei from a selfish terrible person to the hero of humanity. It’s amazing
Great vid bro! thank you for reminding me how good of a series Gantz truly was! I think the first time I saw Gantz was the live action adaptation when I was 8 I think? My memories of it was vague but I could not forget about it since then, but then when I found out it has a manga, I went nerd on it and read it in just about 5-6 days? Might be rookie numbers but damn that series is so fire 😭🔥
This is actually a great video🔥 not a lot of people read the manga but should for sure
Bro, great video, this was one of the first 'extreme' manga/anime I got into years ago, also +10 points for the HLD background music 👌👌 perfect match up
Cheers sir :)
Gantz is one of the most insane pieces of media ever created. Reading it was definitely a wild ride lol. The Buddha arc is my favorite arc in Gantz and one of my favorite arcs in manga in general.
i love seeing new gantz videos
Remember to all out there, even if everything is pointless. You can always make a point a purpose a reason to exist and reason for everything you do no matter how big or small. You may not have chose to live but you can always change your life to be better to experience what it means yo be alive. For you and those you love.
Great video
Fantastic video! You really convinced me to read Gantz. Thanks for putting so much effort into this video!
Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have fun reading it :) it’s a ride
Awesome video, I really liked your analysis and editing
thanks a bunch for watching, appreciate it :)
Great video!! 💛 💖
Thanks for the visit
Loved the gantz video bruh!!!
Thanks man glad you took the time appreciate it :)
Dude your content is so fucking good, don't ever stop making videos.
thanks man and the same to you :)
Great F***ing vid, this got me in my feels lol thank you for this
Glad to hear thanks for watching :)
Never heard of gantz but love your videos. I'll have to start reading it.
Thanks so much, if you give it a try I really hope you like it :)
It’s a page turner. Once you start, it’s easy to read the whole thing. Great manga.
Nice to see a review on gantz in this year, it bring some memory's
Great video! Oku is one of my favorite mangaka for how out there and raw his stories feel. Inuyashiki is almost perfect and I love the beautiful mess that is Gigant 😂 Gantz was a wild ride that I always recommend with a healthy helping of caveats of course lol
it was truly ahead of its time with the story and setup. I really enjoyed the 3D movie and the anime episodes. I will try to continue reading this manga when I get free time
Weird I didnt get a notif this time when it aired, and I'm subscribed 🤔
Anyways about to watch, gonna be amazing as usual 😎
damn thats annoying ah well hope you enjoy :)
loved this video!
thanks so much for watching :)
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT YOU CONVINCED ME ILL RE READ GANTZ AGAIN
Mission complete.
I read it last year randomly and god it was absolutely amazing, had me hooked
another great video, ive now watched all of gantz, and then bought the whole manga to read
Oh damn hope you love it sir :)
heh, ants .. good one! Loved the manga, especially the architectural aspects
I heard end of a small sanctuary being used as background audio and subscribed
Cheers :)
I love your intro 😅😂😂
This was one of the first animes i ever watched and it always stayed with me. This is the one anime that really needs a remake. It ended in such an unsatisfying ending that i really wanna know how the story ends
Hey, great video mugen.
Thanks for watching sir :)
Great video and I think you nailed what Gantzs story is trying to tell .
Thanks a bunch glad you enjoyed it :)
What an intro!
I really love gantz I know people undersell it due the high Ecchi almost H ent1i but DUDE, the action and the lore is just unique I love the designs of the aliens and the death game mechanic. I have never read a manga as fast as Gantz just an amazing manga that needs more recognition
For sure :)
This was one of the first mangas i read after dbz and yuyu Hakusho and it is one of my favorites to this day. It's just absolutely insane and like you said you never know where the ball it's going to go
Nice video dude. I never finished Gantz, but I enjoyed my time with it. The vampire and PK plot lines didn’t really go anywhere, but I didn’t care much for them tbh
I am so glad this series is getting more love. It isn’t perfect but boy is it great
Gantz is dope, you got my sub
Thanks boss :)
I watched this anime a while back and think about it so often. I haven’t been able to read it to continue the story but I just can’t forget about it.
Time to get back into reading it ;)
2:40 don't worry dude you got me with those censored beautifully drawn women 😂
Hooray :)
Ever since i lied my eyes upon gantz anime, i became obssessed with its universe. I was disappointed with it's ending, but fortunately the manga is so much better in every sense. And thanks to these video essays i can have a better understanding on its lore and themes.
Thank you Mugen! This is the first time watching your videos, you definitely have earned my sub :)
dude i love gantz great video
as do I, so glad you like it :)
Reading this weekly and reacting with others online was such a wild ride, especially during the Osaka Arc, which is still one of the greatest arcs in all of manga IMO.
Awesome vid but just a heads up your patreon link is broken in description at the moment from a typo!
I initially found Gnatz through the netflix movie about the Okinawa night, then I found the anime online. It was years later I got a manga app and read it very quickly. This breakdown was great. It really dug down deep into the confusion of esistance and how to find purpose. That's what the story really culminated to. PEOPLE FINDING PURPOSE TO EXIST AND LIVE. My bad im typing at a weird angle. I think i'll buy the books and read again.
unrelated but i hope u make a video giving ur thoughts on the new berserk chapter(s) :D
appreciate it but I probably won't make a berserk video again until the end of the series :)
Gantz is one of my favourite manga. And yeah, it IS deeper than most people think.
I love Gantz. Glad to see a video on it in 2024
Cheers
Finaly seeing someone talking about Gantz! I really love the mangá, at first i was a bit thrown off about the loads of b@$bies but as time passed it got better and i started to feel for the characters… Great video! Sorry for the broken english 🇧🇷 brazilian follower her
Gantz is so dope. But I always get the feeling that if I was in this situation I’d just give up immediately lol
I remember reading that Hiroya Oku was given new cartoon modelling software by his editor and proceeded to use it to create GANTZ. I could tell from the content that he was indulging himself, but the longer the series went on, the more serious it became, and then there are the little references that the reader could recognize if they read the right material
The story more goes he spent all his savings to make 3D CG manga and zero one was the first of that only to be cancelled. Facing bankruptcy Gantz was his last chance, and as it succeeded and technology evolved so did the other entities he put on the page :)
Very Nice Analyse greeting from France
Cheers, I like La Haine and Asterix keep up the art ;)
Well said sir.
Cheers :)
Probably my favorite manga
Gantz was such a chaotic and wild ride man.
It’s insane it exists :)
one of the only videos i seen about gantz and this video happens to be a masterpiece.
gantz might be a egdy 1 note manga but for others its their heart proving that we are flawed humans!
Thanks for that, glad you feel that way too :)
Read this as a teenager, its stuck with me since.
Reading Gantz back in the day really got my adrenaline flowing
Like the missions would just get so exciting
But yea the angsty teeny vibe was a little difficult to cope with at first. I never finished Gantz, but remember it fondly
One day I will
Hey Mugen whats the name of the music at 2:51 to 3:01? thanks
My favourite manga of all time.
Does anyone know where to read the Gantz Manga with color in English? I know that the spanish or italian version is in color but english I dont know
I pray Gen Z never finds out about Gantz.
lmao it would be fine nothing would change
Too late I'm 25 and I found it when I was like 14 lol
You people look down on Gen Z too much, I saw gantz as a 15year old and I'm 22 now. I bet my experience of gantz isn't different from yours or anyone else's. Don't try to trivialize mine or anyone else's experience of such a great manga because I was born in the early 2000's
@@NigerDeltaCommunist I am 35. I read Gantz as an adoloescent. It was awesome, one of the best manga I've ever read.
But we kinda grew afraid of Gen Z reaction over anything we could have loved in our childhood to be called out and go in the same spiral again of seeing something that you loved be deemed innapropriate by twitter in a matter of days. No offense, but Berserk had its twitter Gen Z drama, even DBZ. No matter the message or the form, there is always something wrong that should be erased from history and people who love the content be labelled as creeps so ...
No offense on yougers generations, we (and that is a hypothetical we, I mainly talk for myself ofc) just grew tired of this. Cancel Hammer is just exhausting.
Best manga ever!
Ok ok. I get it, ill try reading it again.
yay :)
My favourite panel is right before Kei and Kato are transported to the 3rd mission. We see them each in their own room, Kato thinks how he doesn't want to go back to the missions, and we see his brother whom he cares alot for, while Kei on the other hand wants to go back, yet his room feels empty, he just doesn't have anyone or anything he cares about at this point.
So subtle but shows character :)
*inhales* MUSCLE RIDER!!!
Muscle rider forever…
Gantz is such a unique story. For better or worse I could never tell what was gonna happen next. Constantly introducing a new rule added to the story. Even after reading it I can describe it but I still don’t understand it myself.
8:54 “Okay I’m going to read this”😂
Sick :)
I still remember, even though ive read it years ago, the last few pages of the manga where kei makes it back on earth and his girlfriend is helping him up
This story is a wild ride
Indeed it is :)
I really liked the two examples you used, the one of the monsters caring for their own, and the main guy growing when he gets a gf.
Having previously had a negative opinion of Gantz, it seems far more interesting and nuanced than I gave it credit for.
Great vid. Keep it up!
thanks man appreciate it :) hope your workin hard on your next vid
I love Gantz. It was one of the first Senein I ever read many years ago. I just felt that the story kind of got dumb and was rushed toward the end, and it seemed as if Oku didn't really know how to end it so he just winged it, leaving some loose ends like what exactly the Vampire's were. Another thing that bothered me was the pacing becomes unbearable in the final arc, although that probably was because I was reading it week to week and there were some weeks where the chapters were like 10 pages long with huge 2 page spreads taking up most of the page count.
Totally get what you mean with the vamps and the pace of the last arc but like you I still love it :)
Gantz NEEDS a new adaptation so bady
It would be insane to see it all fully adapted like the Osaka arc but in 2d :)
In my eyes, the Anime was a near perfect intro to Gantz outside of the last two episodes of filler (I deeply regretted watching them as they took away from the amazing experience)
Literally just take the Gantz anime and send those two episodes to the shadow realm and you have perfection. The Buddha mission was such an oh shit moment I was instantly hooked! I literally read the entire manga in about 2-3 days!
So I've only watched the anime version but did manga ever explain what gantz was and all those creatures? And what happened to Kei at the end? I feel like ending was rushed in anime that nothing got explained lol
Anime went into anime og territory with its cliffhanger because the manga wasn’t finished that’s why nothing got explained. But yeah you learn what Gantz is who made it, why it’s here, what those alien things are etc :)
this the first manga that i read without any knowledge about it, unlike berserk where i know what's going to happend cuz of memes and stuff. and somehow it become my personal favorite manga.
after reading gantz, please review gigant :)
Mmm maybe :3
MY FAVORITE MANGA GETTING MORE LOVE!!!!
I’m been meaning to read this manga because I heard many great things about it from many manga experts I heard (mostly from CDawgVa), I’m still trying to find it but I’ve been the guy who doesn’t know it from the sexy lady but knows it for the art of the manga
I know the English translated omnibuses are on Amazon but if not available where you are I hope you find another way to read it :)
Man, gantz is one of most influential manga series ever, even in a new game like stellar blade you can see characters that looks like came straight from gantz
Gantz is peak with great peaks
They should animate it all
24:10 reminds me of the movie Fantastic Planet. Very strange and disturbing movie, but I’d say it’s worth a watch if you like Gantz
yeah! i remmber that scene where kei make out with lara croft before the mission lol
Oh they do more than make out :3
Gantz is a solid read
Basically how the VIP reality tv shows saved the world
i lost my shit when i heard the ps2 gantz music lol
Peak Fiction back in High School
Still peak now
Some one told about their chins and I can't unsee it
The Monster Designs and Action is the definition of Cool to me in an Edgy fun way
