Starting with Volume 3 Chapter 23. Get in here Gantzchads

Were Japanese highschool bullies really this bad back in the 2000s?

Thus concludes chapter 23, I'll give the thread some breathing room so people can read through and discuss, next chapter in 30 min to an hour!

>>280263715
The first change in Kurono is when he looks at Kato as a friend.

>>280263931
Possibly.

>>280264000
What timezone are you in?
I remember you saying this thread would start at 12, but it's not even 12 now where I am.

When sex dolls become human like, I'm getting a Kei Kishimoto and Sei Sakuraoka doll

>>280265092
Sorry, got a little excited and started posting early, but it's almost 12 so who cares

>>280265178
Okay, but I'd still like to know what time it is for you, so I know when threads will start if you aren't early.

>>280265237
I am in eastern time, it is 11:40AM

>>280263553
So Kei didn't die, but other dead people do get copied? Or did Kei die when he was transported?

>>280263951
This guy's a fag, why would he take so much interest in a random guy, he wants to fuck him.

>>280265782
OHNONONO AMERICAN BROS, WHAT DID THEY MEAN BY THIS? THEY WANT THE GAIJIN OUT!!!

Japanese bullies come straight from hell I guess

>>280265178
Cute :3

Freaky ass nigga

Chad moment incoming?

>>280265677
I think as they die their "data" is wirelessly captured, they're printed out in the room, and their corpse gets lasered.

>>280266276
>>280266190
Shit like this is what got me into Gantz. I feel like I'm 15 again, reading this and listening to breakcore. Watching Kei develop and go through hell to experience Heaven. Then Oku fucks it all up after the Oni mission.

>>280265677
Gantz randomly picks people who die. Before they die, gantz makes a copy of them. It'll get explained more in detail with girl Kei. Also, Gantz does a half-ass job at doing it.

I think the anime did this scene better ngl. I liked how they incorporated him getting a boner and learning how to use the suit. Gonna take a nap and will post the next chapter when I wake from my slumber. Hopefully this thread attracts some new eyes. Enjoy everybody.

>>280266412
Fun fact: in the anime version of this scene, the suit activates once he gets a boner from thinking about Kishimoto naked.
This "arousal based activation" thing doesn't come up again, but it's kinda funny, since he initially does get beat up a bit, so they think he's a weirdo masochist and get freaked out by that before he starts fighting back.

>>280266563
Another reason why the anime sucked.

>>280266391
holy shit what is wrong with this dude's eyebrows

>>280266364
Well, at least people can agree that the arc that was indirectly responsible for me finally deciding to get into Gantz is good.
>>280266672
Had good music though.

>>280263433 (OP)
Is that the old lady from the train station?

>>280263931
Yes. Bullies are the same breed everywhere.

>>280265915
KWAB

>>280263433 (OP)
Are you actively closing your own threads? The previous thread was last posted in about an hour before you posted this new thread. For daily reads, you should use your existing thread until it's completed and link to the previous one(s) once starting a new one.

>>280264000
I was wondering why this storytime was so retarded in format and execution.
Guess it was a dumb frogposter all along.

>>280267494
No

bump

>>280266559
thanks op

Oh boy Gantz storytime
I can't wait til we get to the Shorty mission and the story stops being about Kei's obsession with tits.

>>280270583
You can wait.

>>280265782
>>280265915
Feels like we missed a page here. Big tough guy didn't put up any fight at all?

>>280266672
Need more movies like Gantz:O

>>280273526
>Need more movies like Gantz:O
We need a full anime adaption
If a series as gory as SnK can get one I can't see why Gantz doesn't

>>280273981
would people pretend to like the final arc like they do with Bleach?

>>280265126
This author likes drawing pubic hairs. It's rare nowadays.

>>280263523
What a nice creepy man

>>280263643
What anime were they talking about /a/?

>>280263931
Japanese bullying can get insane, usually social shit though.

>>280273526
I'm eternally mad there was never a follow up to this movie. It was basically perfect

>>280266190
Why wouldn't you test it beforehand? Just flex your muscles a bit or something

>>280266559
I like how he steals the other guy's cool line lol

>>280266364
Kurono's development hits all the right notes. As out there as Gantz gets, the MC just clicks.

>>280266559
You still alive?

>>280277717
The onions got him

>>280277717
The OP bailing on his thread is a recurring thing for this storytime.

Bumping. Mother fucking OP!

>>280266190
>scarier than the onion alien

No he fucking isn't Kei lmao get your shit together

>>280279761
OP is a deabeat. Somebody adopt this storytime.

>>280278395
He's come back before though.

>>280280667
He's not coming back from the grocery store anon.

>>280280667
>>280280756
Maybe OP has started a new family in a new thread.

Anyone want to post chapter 25?

>>280281712
be the change you want to be

>>280281750
No confidence.

>>280281910
there are like 20 pages

>>280281945
But I also want to read it with the thread.
And if OP doesn't show up tomorrow, then maybe whoever does this will continue.

I think OP might have gotten a 3 days ban for frogposting since >>280264000 got deleted.
Otherwise he is taking a very long nap.

>>280282110
>>280281945
Well, I'm downloading the chapter. I'll be posting it in a bit. I won't be taking over the story-time though.

>>280282203
That's probably what happened. So we won't be seeing OP for a while.

Well, since OP is probably banned for being a frog poster, here's chapter 25.

>>280282497
We're back?

>>280282203
>frogposting

>>280282514
I'm not OP just so you know. I'm just dumping chapter 25 in his place. Though, as >>280282203 noted, OP is probably banned for a few days, maybe some other anon can take over for a bit?

>>280282654

Would you /a/nons?

>>280282719
Cute

>>280282837
no i am gay

>>280282882
Kinky girl.

Okay, that ends chapter 25.

Remember to keep pet play safe anons.

>>280282951
thanks
dont forget to post tomorow

>>280282970
Sure, I'll dump after I get some cigarettes tomorrow.

We'll see, though I only got time for 3 chapter dumps and its probably gonna be early EST.

OP, if it turns out you weren't banned and instead wake up to see you were cucked out of your storytime. I'm not taking responsibility

>>280283172
So is that a yes?

>>280283525
If OP doesn't show up, then I guess so. Though, I go back to being a wagie on Monday so I can only do tomorrow.

>>280263553
don't they have security cams?

>>280282837
Kei Kurono: the boy who could have everything.
It's funny how Kei is very much the modern youth, and the things that give him his call to action/change are literally a power-suit that makes him invincible and a 10/10 hot girl who wants to sleep in his apartment. Like shit, the masculinity crisis would be solved instantly if we gave every dejected youth these two things. I bet they'd even settle for the second one alone!

>>280282951
Thanks a lot OP

>>280263553
Do Japanese people really believe this heavily in hypnotism?

>>280283792
I remember in the anime some people took pictures with their phones but then after the bodies disappeared, so did the photos.
So I don't know if that was just an additional thing, or if maybe at some point later that will be mentioned or something similar will happen and they just put it earlier in the anime.

>>280282837
Why did she have to say it that way?

>>280284174
In 2000?

One last bump just in case having this thread stay up tomorrow ends up turning out to be a good thing.

>>280284174
Hypnotism was a bigger deal back in the aughts. I remember it being brought in a bunch of different media here in the states, so I don't think it was a Japanese only thing.

>>280263433 (OP)
I decided to just read all of gantz on my own
worth the read desu
took me like 14 hours or something between yesterday and today
couldn't imagine keeping up with this daily for over a year

>>280287817
Thoughts on the last arc?

>>280263501

>>280287867
A bit long.

And frankly it didn't really do anything to engender me to the giants. At the very best it seems like 90% of them were on the same tier as cat killers among people.
Anyone who can stomach casually killing and torturing a cat (specially bred for generations to resemble human infants) is probably an evil person.
Doubly so for a human who could stomach killing a borrower or something.
In this case humans WERE the borrowers to them. If at least they didn't just look like giant people then the message of "they see us like insects etc" could have been believed but you can't tell me their society isn't a whole hell of a lot more fucked up than ours when they clearly enjoy torturing what resemble little versions of themselves so much.
Fuck em

Also felt like the question answering device was stupid. In the first place this casual "THERE IS NO GOD AAAA" stuff feels silly but THEN it just casually confirms souls and reincarnation. Which is pretty religious in nature itself. It's one thing to think we're all doomed to oblivion. It's another entirely to know we're not.
And also some of the people it talks about were literally clones. Was every time a person was "brought back" by Gantz a case of a new soul being generated for the clone? How many reincarnated Keis are there going to be in a century?
etc

The whole fight with the giant war hero felt obnoxious. I never like when stuff like this focuses on 2ch users saying shit like "OH HERO-KUN SHOULD JUST DIE". Any time I see that in manga I get the feeling that the author himself browses too much 2ch. But this whole thing were it's showing the whole world the main character does not appeal to me.

And no "after the end" scene? Show me Kei and Tae living happily in a cabin in rural Hokkaido or something, damn.

Anyway enjoyable manga, in the way that a good action flick is, but far from being a favorite of mine. It's not something I'll still be thinking a lot about in a week.

this thread reminds me I need to pick E back up. I dropped it awhile ago to give it time so more chapters came out since reading 1 ch a month was awful and forgot about it lol.

>>280263433 (OP)
>just started Gantz anime S1
>on episode 7
I really hope this thing picks up soon because it's just the MC trying to bang the girl. Apparently the only way to activate his cool suit is to get a hard-on. I don't mind a weird mechanic to make the suit work, but I was hoping for a lot more 'blowing aliens and monsters up' and Battle Royale stuff. Please tell me it picks up soon.

>>280288709
the gantz anime covers practically nothing mcs strength and badassry is a pretty long build up. I would say to watch the live action movies and gantz o instead.

>>280283803
very different from protagonists today
>>280287867
>>280288499
ala one anon in an earlier thread: gantz is written on rule of cool. 'you have already given this more thought than he did'

>>280288746
Yeah, I might give the live action movies a shot. I've heard good things about them. I'll keep watching the anime for the rest of the night before I go to sleep but it really is annoying how he's just a really horny teenager trying to look at the girl.
Just bust some skulls man, you're supposed to be a badass. Let's ramp it up.

>>280263931
I remember a bunch of videos from Korea around late 2000's or early 2010's of girls ganging up on another girl and slapping her with teens around them smoking and drinking. And that is just girl on girl bullying.
I truly believe that bullying gets hardcore in Asia.

>>280288623
It's been a while since it's actually gotten a new chapter, but where it is now seems pretty crazy.

>>280288623
Reading multiple chapters at once doesn't help, it's a pretty terrible manga. Gantz: G was better, and that's not praise of G.

>>280288225
>comparing the Kishimoto girls

>>280282604
Tits delivered directly to your doorstep

>>280283746
Maybe I could do Monday. Does 12 pm EST work?

>>280282837
This attitude is why you get zero points tits

>>280282951
Thanks dumper. If you don't wanna take over dumping until op is out of frog jail I can do it.

>>280282951
>see-through bathroom
He's indeed lucky.
>>280291294
Okay. If by 1 am EST you haven't started it, I'll do it.

>>280282951
Thank you for posting.

>>280267743
>>280264920
Were bullies in Japan that bad? I only know about the case of that girl who got raped and tortured by some of them but I don't remember If they were Yakuza involved.

Anyways, these fags wouldn't last one week in south america or any slav country.

>>280294235
It can get out of hand just like anywhere but I don't think it's especially common to. People like their sensational rumors though.

Good Morning Gantzchads

Dumping chapters 26 to 28.

>>280297044

>>280296975
Damn. We can see everything.

She has a good point

>>280297333
>>280297361
Lmao. This MC is bold.

Our handsome, reliable and non-pet molesting hero

>>280297519
Hopefully he's more normal and less pervy.

>>280266441
from what I remember, only kurono was copied into two
everyone else was revived

>>280297555
I'm sure he's an upstanding guy. Unlike our guys here, who seem up to no good.

Onion boy...

>This is the only place I've taken a dump since I was freshmen

Hello Joichiro.

And that ends chapter 28.

What's the second mission again?
The one with the bird aliens?

>>280297638
It seems that you're right so far.
>>280298975
The thought of being transported to another death game round at any time must be stressful. If I were them, I'd never be able to rest, I'd always be in a perpetual state of anxiety.

>>280294235
The guys that did the cement girl thing (I think that's what it's called) had some alleged yakuza connections

>>280296775
Those aren't torpedos those are intercontinental ballistic missiles

>shounen before pussy

>>280297308
>you don't have sex with pets
Yeah haha...

>>280297859
Why are there so many gay bullies?

>>280296736
Are you OP?

>>280296736
You could say that it's the beginning of a brand new day!

>>280283803
just keep reading. despite having all that he's still being an asshole. it's having people he actually cares about what makes him mature.

>>280296936
Ah yes, product placement.
>>280299664
It's seinen.
>>280297460
Burn scar?
Is there a story behind that?

>>280297555
Just barely.

>>280297959
Why did he warn him?
He does know what the element of surprise is, right?

>>280297670
Tfw ur a tough delinquent nd ur pants get a little sprinkle of water on them >:[

don't take everything literally anon

>>280304808
author is a nigger worshipper but to be fair I think he's just a stereotypically tanned punk

>>280275450
I don't remember what time they're in. Is it the same as during publishing? In that case this would be around November 2000.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_in_anime

>>280306619
I think there was a page where something said it was in 2000 in the winter.

>>280306619
They clearly don't actually know what they're talking about, so they were definitely talking about Ghost Stories.

>>280306619
gantz has a floating timeline
later on in the manga there are references to obama being president of the us and smartphones are used

>>280297308
Outplayed!

Thx mate.

>>280302250
Ah no, I'm the dump anon from yesterday. OP is presumably banned, so we'll need to manage until at least Wednesday.

>>280304371
In the anime, they worked in some pictures of her.

This page always makes me laugh so hard

>>280296863
>>280296907
Tried reading my thick ass gantz volume for this chapter, but simply couldnt, the dogshit ant sized pages is too much, they need to be A4, or at the very least like Blame! Master edition sized

>>280297308
And that's where you're wrong m'lady

>>280298280
Yes.

>>280298724
>>280298767
Why is this manga so rapey lmao
They really did butcher the characterization in the movie, they were nothing like this

>>280298975
Thanks anon

>>280314701?
That's just the tone of the manga, everything is edgy and exaggerated, for real rape wait until the osaka arc
also do you mean the live action movies or the cgi movie?

>>280315181
it's not rape if it's an alien, we call that a cultural exchange

>>280297670
I always fought back the bullies and others jerks when I was a teen. I'm glad of that, it reached a point when nobody wanted to touch my balls with me because I fucked up a gypsy three times.

>>280318958
nobody wanted to touch your balls anymore? damn shame man

>>280298851
kek

>>280319067
The gypsy cursed his balls, he told everyone except anon

>>280319067
I don't know another expressions in english. Yes yes, I'm an ESL.

>>280298150
>locks the door behind him

>>280296936
I fucking love this guy.

>>280296975
Oh, that's a butthole.
That's a straight-up anus.

>>280297308
Fucking outplayed!

>>280303470
Oh, believe me I know that he ultimately picks the unassuming normal girl who just really likes him over the supermodel who is obsessed with him. It's my third time reading it. It's just funny that the super suit and hot chick are his call to action: literally the perfect incentive for any "loser" loner male.

>>280283803
Kei reminds me of Denji a bit.
Or I guess Denji reminds me of Kei because Gantz came way before CSM.
Having a red-blooded male as the lead in a manga is so rare that it stands out.

>>280322652
Yeah but Oku kind of shits on this by having Kei 2. He wanted his cake and it eat too.

>>280322700
Dennis is a bit different in that his horniness is also a coping mechanism for all the messed up things he's been forced to endure. Kei is just a regular horny teenager for the most part.

>>280322700
I wasn't able to get into CSM because Denji was just too pathetic for me to deal with. Does he get better, like Kei does, or is he still as pathetic as he starts out? Remember: Kei is 15, so him starting with a terrible (in the "you're a bad person" sense) is easier to accept than Denji, who is a grown man.

>>280322716
True, true.
Man, Gantz really is a wild ride.

>>280322828
no, denji still whines about wanting sex and they have to dangle pussy in front of him to make him do anything

>>280303711
It's possible the dude isn't that loyal to his posse and that he just wanted to brew chaos.

>>280322828
Denji gets better, and then gets worse. WAY worse.

>>280322828
>grown man
He most definitely isn't.

>>280322700
Denji is a favela kid, Kei is just an incel

>>280322448
110%

>>280322448
Isn't it her labia too?

>>280322700
The main thing they have in common is just that they're horny. Might as well throw Tokio in the mix too.

>>280263433 (OP)
Ahh Gantz makes me remember being younger, loved reading this stuff, tits, powers armors, crazy aliens and it gets better with vamps and ESP.

>>280329894
NTA but fair enough.

>>280330870
And how do you feel about those things now?

>>280323625
>>280326076
Then I'm probably wise to leave CSM alone.

>>280322448
You can tell that the Gantz artist just wanted to draw porn "but with legitimacy" at first.
It's too bad that he toned it down as it got more popular.

>>280326076
He's still got a chance.

Alright. I guess I'll pick up from where the other anon left off at since he had to work.

Without any further delays, here's chapter 29 of Gantz.

Ojisan has to ruin the dumb punk fun

>>280335654
Thanks for the initiative anon. I guess a collaborative effort might save this shitty attempt of daily thread
not unlike the Gantz missions, i guess

>>280335737
No problem anon. Also yeah it is pretty fun how this daily has gone so far.
>Everyone is united in having to clean up with OP's faggotry and utter failure to proceed with a normal storytime.
Kinda heartwarming, honestly.

>>280335925
Pages like these reminds me of the unique level of savagery the people of Gantz show. It makes me wonder if Oku has first hand experience with it, because it feels too real.

Punk down

Welcome to hell, losers.

>>280335994
This page makes me hate women more than men like Tecchan.

>>280336336
I don't think it's a good idea to arm the biker fuckers

>>280336381
Funny that you should mention that...

>>280336307
Tecchan is surely just a good family man who likes to partake in ruffian activities here and there
>>280336381
Well...

>>280336336
The dog suits up

>>280336023
Is she a white chick?

>>280336307
>implyign it wasn't one of the enemy bikers texting like a call girl
>>280336417
Amazingly, this was one of the changes i actually liked of the anime. They unironically gave him this personality instead of simply being a shithead delinquent. He cared about his family and lectured the kid in >>280335925 about how to never grow up like his drunken loser dad.
It was such a 180º change it caught me off guard at the time.

>>280335994
It really does. Guy does horrible shit and then goes back home to his family like nothing. But that's how many people IRL behave.

>>280336477
Hm, wonder what could be the relevance of that line.

>>280336553
No you fool, I mean the woman who married Tecchan and gave him a child. He's a violent crazy piece of shit and a woman when "god I need him between my legs I can change him."

>>280330870
>vamps
my favorite nothingburger of gantz

>>280336540
Nah, she just has bleached hair. That sort of thing usually is used as a show of defiance for conformity in Japan.

>>280336640
It's funny who some people are depicted as "clearly white," like here, yet others are "clearly Japanese," like here >>280336137.

is this foreshadowing, or am I thinking too hard and it could just be some non-character who doesn't matter?

>>280336684
It never stops being funny to me how this model-tier guy has the hots for ugly fatsos

>>280336684
>blushing
THE GAY COMMUNITY?!

>>280336684
moe~

>>280336684
>>280336771
Wow no way, I totally missed this when I first read Gantz as a kid
.>>280336761
Hojo does kinda look like Kei with long hair.

>>280336831
He even has a "creepy" stalker fangirl. Man.

>>280337030
Truck-kun about to isekai some motherfuckers.

>>280337071
Gantz'd

>Not this shit again

>>280337470
Eyes on the prize

>>280336599
I'm think the implication is that he's a decent dude when it comes to his wife and kid but a piece of shit outside of the house. Not that that makes him any less of a piece of shit.
Like another anon said, there are a lot of people like that in real life too. They'll do degenerate shit and have no problem hurting others but when it comes to their own family they fold easily. They also tend to be really good at hiding it from the people close to them.

>>280336570
Horny slut!

>>280337654
Aliens....? Like little green man? Is this guy serious /a/?

>>280336684
Being gay is one thing. But THAT is what gets him on?

>>280336990
>Old asian female driver on the phone
This was a disaster waiting to happen but it's funny how it isn't her fault.

>>280337769
That's life!

>>280337717
He must have hit his head badly or something.

>>280337582
>Stood up when the little kid got involved
My HERO!

>>280337769
>that's the way the cookie crumbles!
first the "what the heezy?", now this. Every thread i find a new reason to despise this TL

>>280337896
That reminds me, Gantz actually had a video game tie in on PS2. Given the track record of game adapting anime/manga, it's probably shit.

>>280337982
>The kid was one step away from getting Gantz'd again

>>280337982
Kishimoto sure has found her knight in shining armor. Or samurai, I guess.

>>280337982
Never played it, but heard it was decent.
It even had dating elements, including Nishi as a tsundere

>>280337942
What does it say in Japanese?

>>280337896
This Tanaka Alien seems like a fun harmless guy.

>>280337942
It's not the same version.

>>280338040
HONEY! WHERE IS MY SUPER SUIT?

I wasn't really paying attention, but that page apparently concludes chapter 31 of Gantz. Thanks for tuning in everyone.

>>280338040
>>280338159
Thx mate.

>>280338047
Isn't Nishi a middle schooler lol

>>280338040
FUCK

>>280338159
thanks OP

>>280338040
>>280338159
Also, hopefully this daily has less problems from here on out. It'd be ridiculous if OP has something come up every other day and it's left to everyone else to continue on in his place.

>>280338040
>>280338159
Thanks for dumping anon

>>280338254
Has is been 3 days since OP got sent to the gulag?

>>280337582
>>280337621
>>280337654
This manga never would have gotten going without genuinely good people like Kato to spur it on.

>>280338244
OP got sent to detention. I'm just another rando that's trying to keep things rolling.

>>280338254
Yeah, we joked about it before but it really is a problem.
Worst case scenario we'll get Gantz-like names and tag between who dumps the next 3 chapters.
>>280338135
In that case we might see a slight change of TL every now and then

>>280338254
I think OP still has another day in frog jail remaining, since he was banned on Saturday during the middle of the day.

>>280338363
>starts dumping 1 chapter at a time, makes new thread for each chapter every time
>starts volume dumping, gets tired, drops it midway and changes the format again
>now he got banned
>he can't change IP or start phoneposting to continue the dump
I knew this fucker was unreliable from day 1

>>280338355
Well right now we're using the official version. I think it's best to be consistent with the version, and I know for a fact that it's complete, but I don't know if anyone else has translated the whole series.
And while I assume it'd probably complicate things more and make these threads even more of a mess, I wouldn't be opposed to somebody posting pages from another version to compare notable differences. Probably not full chapters though.

>>280338625
sounds gantz pilled to me

>>280338787
Well, we can wait for that official version then. I just have a mix of many TLs published online from different sources (both because no one completed the manga and for scan issues like contrast and brightness). At the very least if i can step in every once ina while there might be a steady quality for the early volumes

>>280336336
>>280337147

>>280340338
fuse it

>>280335712
Rufio?

>>280335994
Oku has some level of understanding of this sort of thing, it's part of what separates him from opportunistic people playing at being edgy for money like the author of Redo of Healer.

>>280336761
It's vague enough that it's impossible to know for sure. It's certainly plausible that he had a good list of basic character types he wanted to use before he even started the manga though, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he knew he wanted to have a super popular idol that turns out to be quite competent in missions get added to the team at some point.

>>280329877
Labia in manga are rare, but I don't think I've ever seen an anus.

>>280335994
Yeah, that's just how shitheads in real life act.
They don't just keep it up 24/7.

>>280336336
Kato mogs so hard it's hilarious.

>>280338625
Is it even the same OP?
The one who phoneposted the shitty screenshots in the first thread?

>>280336684
The ORIGINAL Fat Ugly Bastard appreciator... I kneel...
So the CEO got some action I'm guessing?

>>280337621
genuinely what was Nishi thinking here? what was there to lose with telling them how the suits work

>>280343533
He wants to have his fun.

>>280343533
I thought about it, and yeah, I don't get it either. I understand he wants to use people as bait for the aliens since he wants to kill steal. But he's still pretty experienced, so it wouldn't be that much of a problem even if they have some knowledge of the game.

>>280343533
>>280344132
He probably wants the points

PEOPLE PUT YOUR HANDS UP

>>280335874
Those are harsh words. He's just a newf/a/g. He tried his best, even if he made some mistakes.

>>280345825
Nah tripfag anon, he did NOT tried his best. He started for the fun of it, complemented it with some autistic commentary, eventually got overwhelmed by the effort involved in something so silly as chapter dumping, and now he got banned. As many things in life, if you're gonna half-ass it from the beginning, you might have to consider not to do it at all

That being said i'm sincerely hoping he just gets better at it, not dissing him just for fun

>>280346340
our OP's posting arc will mirror Kurono's character development

>>280336512
Reika?

>>280337942
The heezy one is trash because it's inserting fad shit that people not of that time won't understand, this one is fine because it's a common long used idiom.

>>280266726
He's a fag.

>>280345825
Maybe I exaggerated a bit. I was just trying to ham things up for comedic effect.

>>280329894
Tokio is just a regular dude anon

>>280336336
Name my band

>>280337896
This was the first mission that shocked me.

>>280337470
Is this the male gaze I've heard so much about?

>>280347961
>it's inserting fad shit that people not of that time won't understand
That's what makes it great

>>280338040
Thanks anon

>>280351854
So is Kei

>>280343533
What I'm thinking is, based on his previous hunts, he knows more or less how many people he wants in the know or not to even the odds or use as bait, while still securing the most points for himself.

>>280344132
>>280352738
He must have been killing mooks until this point, especially with how unpredictable the killing quotas get. Gantz saw 3 people survive one mission and decided for shit to get real.

>>280335925
Why is it, in this universe, the more violent a guy is the gayer he becomes? Are they turning into women?

>>280343533
Because he wants to win.

>>280354245
Well when you think about it, people that go to jail turn to males for some ass. People from cartels and mafias give it a pass and say its ok. Also some niggas are just gay as fuck

>>280263433 (OP)
I am now arriving to the Gantz threads. Sorry I'm late. I loved Gantz it was one of my first seinen manga I read after returning to the medium after teenage abandonment. Gantz was crazy I look forward to catching up I know my fellow anons will have some shitposts and quips that will make me smile. Have a good read Il be there soon

>>280337896
>Likes: Birds, Chocoball

>>280337071
busy night for Gantz

>>280352211
It's also the second mission.

>>280266018
classic oku moment. this guy is evil and collects teeth because his father is a dentist. genius.

>>280263621
Is this a Reika centerfold?

>>280263433 (OP)
I liked early Gantz art, it's clumsy but has a certain charm to it. It's only when Oku insisted on inserting CGI slop that it completely degenerated. It only hits rock bottom with stuff like Giganta and Inuyashiki, which has such incredibly terrible CGI slop photoshopped in it that I can't believe there's ""people"" who defend it.

>>280360276
No.

>>280360356
It feels like Oku just views art as a means to an end.

Frog jail tongue my anus

I'd like to say thanks to the anons that kept the thread going while I was unjustly incarcerated. You guys are legends and I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else.

>>280363226
>unjustly
Also nice ass on that lad

Just like Kei Kurono, I have people depending on me! I won't let them down!

>>280263433 (OP)
OG oldfag here.
>Daily Gantz
If holy fucking hell only. I've said my peace. If you know you know

>>280363793
Do you mean you were around while the Katastrophe chapters were being published?

>>280363893
yeah. all 3 - 4 years of it. I'll be honest its a blur since I was a hikki back then but waiting and discussing a monthly manga is kind of insane in hindsight

>>280363968
>hikki
Wow, what broke you out of it?

Wonder why they made the fat guy the one to do this in the anime

>>280363692
You just know

>>280363226
Welcome back OP, glad to see you regained your freedom after spending 3 days in jail

Also Nishis little rant on the group only happened in the anime? Wtf

>>280364356
Arigatou mein nigga

>>280363960
god I wish that were me (kishimoto)

What's he thinking

>>280364704
Shitting all brick types right now.

Bit of an over reaction hehe

>>280364061

I did force myself to wage slave in episodes so I had money from 2-3 months of a year that contributed to daily stuff just not rent. My younger brother eventually came back home that received free lodging as well and made everything a living hell for me. Eventually the tension got unbearable where old classmates of mine he exercised with had told my mother if I was suicidal again she would be better off without me.
Accusing me of never helping out which I did in smaller ways yet ironically he wasn't contributing for either in the increased weekly shopping bill. He left and then spent all his savings and started starving so I had to force myself to accept him back into the house.
The next kind of factory employment I just tried to do my best since Home just brought a new set of nightmares and the extra pay motivated me to stick with it. I tried a hobby like being a buyfag for the next couple of years just to have some kind of identity again and slowly improved socially again even if I would be considered too nice / people pleaser. Everything got better with time but just getting older now. I still love manga like gantz because of its great escapism but hate the pace since it triggers what I consider a slow life loop I feel surround by now.

>>280364957
It's alright. He violated the NAP first.

>>280364977
Good on you mate, I have an older brother who doesn't really help out with anything. Just addicted to weed and alcohol cause he's too stubborn to change or accept another way of thinking. Need to get away from him.

She's acting like someone's head just exploded

>>280365194
Thanks. I have respect for the peeps who post daily chapters. Reminds me of lots of good times we had when we were getting fresh new releases from translators like the Helck manga run. Made living day to day fun.

>>280365302
women amirite?

>>280365344
>"In this moment, I feel... EUPHORIC."

>>280364957
How'd he do that anyway?
The sleeve gun trick, that is.

>>280364977
Yeah, that's also the same situation with me. Family is overrated, just want to get away from it all

>>280365402
I can't remember what that's from, but I swear I've seen it. Or something similar at least. I'm pretty sure No More Heroes had a similar line, even if it wasn't the exact same.

>>280365408
This was the best wake up call they could have.

>>280365566
What does Nishi have against Kato? Is he jealous of his bromance with Kei?>>280365542
It was meme that started out on Reddit more than a decade ago.

>>280365686
I think deep down he wants to be like him. After all, hes bullied in class and later he saved that one kid

>>280365686
>What does Nishi have against Kato
Kato is a faggot that gives weapons to criminals, a dumb naive retard

Sorry signals been terrible

>>280363893
>>280363933
>>280363960
Absolutely necessary panel sequence. Sadly titty-Kei is cursed to the pool of characters that are drawn naked so much that no one ever makes porn of them.

Chad A and Chad B

>>280367146
Current Kei is NOT a chad. He was once a chad, but became a bitch, but now he's on a journey to becoming the chad that he used to be once again.

>>280367196
Him beating up the onion alien was the reawakening of his Chadliness, it's only up from here.

Okay, Kato is a man amongst men. Don't think I'll ever have this level of altruism.

>>280367291
>it's only up from here.
>spoken as Kurono pukes and pisses himself in fear

>>280367499
What is bravery without fear my friend

This thread will have the most replies on this board.

>>280367605
sounds good to me. Gantz has really cool moments to be remembered.

Bro we're at bump limit.

>>280367378
>>280367435
Bro...

>>280363960
What the dog doin?

>>280367556
Gantz is an asshole.

>>280367820
He looks jolly

>>280367873
Dang, well this is the last chapter for volume 3. So I guess I'll just do a Volume 4 Daily thread.

I think best girl gets introduced next volume, can't wait to see the replies on her. If this storytime helps to attract new readers and more interest in the series, I have done my job. Once again, thank you guys for taking over for me when I was wrongfully imprisoned.

>>280337896
For me the really impressive "mission" was when the aliens followed him to school and he had to do his own war against them. Pretty cool, but also explained more about the nature of aliens.

>>280367820
Is this a reference?

>>280367059
So he isn't invisible and just leaving money behind?

New thread for Volume 4

>>280368685

>>280363226
Welcome back.
>>280363933
Everyone seems to be a voyeur in Gantz.
>>280363960
That fucking dog. Are we sure it's not some sick experiment like some young human male turned into a dog.

>>280363960
Dog knows what he wants

>>280364957
No he did the right thing

>>280365570
Yeah honestly probably a good thing for them overall

>>280367556
Gantz you cunt

>>280367556
