Kei's a badass, though.

when he was fighting that one boss alien dude at the end, and all of humanity was cheering him on was amazing

I'm watching it right now.

I like it, but I'm not a fan of how it takes place in the middle of the series.

The main chick's big jiggly tits literally suck the seriousness out of that movie.

I'm still waiting to find out why they bothered to show the one dudes brother as a vampire. Also the point of them in general.

Drugs

The author doing drugs.

I do love how pioneering the art style is. A very cool multimedia set-up. A just know the series goes from "cool-grim-dark" to "who-wrote-this-wtf" constantly, so I never read past the first 50 or so chapters.

Yeah, that whole plot thread fall to the way side real quick. Mr. Samurai and the Kill Bill chick really just became background with no payoff

IIRC, the vampires were just people with nanomachines, who considered the Gantz hunters to be their enemies

idk if it got deeper than that, but it's been a while.

It ducks if you were a fan of Reika every single cool moment she gets is off screen. Even her epic battle against a giant alien solo with just a sword which ends with her killing it but dying in the process is off screen

Gantz is one of those series with a very interesting premise, but the mangaka had no idea what he was doing so in the end we get a series with barely any closure.

I guess I was bummed out more than I should be because I was following this manga series since the beginning. I really wanted to know the mystery behind gantz and honestly that shit ended up disappointing me more. It was clear he was just making shit up as the series went on but I still kept holding on. I mean did anyone else remember Kei's twin vampire brother Akira? lol

Of course when host vampire and kill bill grabbed onto Reiko during mid teleport thus becoming Gant fighters themselves or was revealed the vampires don't really know much about the gabrz room or that the humans have no choice but to fight

The vampire mythos thing still doesn't make sense. Like why the hell do they want to kill the gantz players? Maybe I'm missing something here, but their inclusion was stupid in my opinion. Same thing with the psychic crap. With that said Daizemon is my favorite character by far, like if you wanted a badass, he's exactly that.

I liked the series, but yea, a lot of stuff added was never really fleshed out.

the movie takes place about half way into the series, so it can feel confusing if you're not familiar with it.

The same mangaka also has a series out right now and the main character is a 50 year old man and the antagonist is a 17 year old kid that looks a lot like Kei. It's interesting someone like him would go down this route for a new series.

The Nurarihyon Arc? That's my favorite story arc in the series. I don't think it went downhill until the actual Alien Invasion.

I disagree. I felt the author made a big mistake by not focusing on Reika or any other interesting character in that arc

Instead he chose to focus on a guy with the personality of a wet dishrag.......a beige wet dishrag

I feel the opposite. I didn't really care much for Reika. But Kato? Kato was The Man, dude was awesome.
