It's a simple "Gantz fuck yeah!" meme from old, at the time a lot of people were hyping Naruto and shitting on Gantz.

Manifest destiny, I guess. From what I remember, they've been conquering planets left and right and Earth just happened to be in the way. The implication is that the aliens the Gantz team has been fighting up until now were refugees, with maybe a few like the Onis and Vampires being collaborators.

do you think Gantz would be more popular if it was coming out today instead of back in the early 2000's?
On one hand, it has crazy action, lots of twists, high impact emotional moments and a lot of "aura farming", but like another anon pointed out, maybe people today would be turned off by all the erotic stuff, also all the rape... and the black face... and the mass shooting... and highschool kids getting massacred
There will always be people that like edgy stuff and I think the culture is again becoming a little more accepting of edgier stuff (the pendulum never stops going back and forth) but Gantz really pushed it to the limit

then again, a faggot like supereyepatchwolf loves Gantz so maybe it would be an even bigger hit these days

Certainly, just give it a proper adaptation, it's weird and unique and still has something to appeal to everyone.
It'd probably do much better in anime format since Oku likes to make whole chapters to showcase some things (like the last storytime for example) which likely pissed off a lot of people back when the manga was still serialized and you had to wait for the next chapter just to get literally nothing, anime would probably be able to tell the whole story with 2x25 seasons without cutting anything

The first "soldiers" were more like pest control. Those buzzsaws are just them pretty much clearing the space for the actual soldiers to come in. Later in the story we see the giant aliens treating humans like small pets or just chasing them like rats.

Okay but realistically speaking wouldn't earth be too small for the horse aliens? Like if a human needs at least 500 square feet to live comfortably would the aliens require like 5000? Or would they just stay on their ships and treat earth like safari?

Gantz would be a hit today. It's what JJK was trying to be in its most popular arcs, when it moved past copying Naruto

yes if they didnt try to use the normal manga adaptation pace for a manga that uses 3 pages for 5 seconds of emotion.

the original anime is SO FUCKING SLOW i watched with my brother and we screamed in frustration at every hesitation that should have taken 5 seconds INSTEAD OF 5 MINUTES

They could have a significantly smaller population, but in every circumstance, 1 planet to live on is substantially better than 0 planets, so even if it isn't enough, if you've got skyscraper height mechs and the people you have to clear off the planet you want only have jets, you're taking their planet to at least improve your own situation a bit while you look for more planets to take over.

Shame, it'd be much more enjoyable as an anime that smooths out the pacing.

Usual Oku pacing issues and it doesn't really deliver on the "people voting for their world to go to shit" potential in the story (even if that does literally happen) but I liked it. It's more primarily about a schoolkid having a relationship with a cute as hell porn star than it is about the kaiju fights.

Chiho is hot as hell and deserves to be animated.

It's also full of action and has a lot of rape (there is even a dedicated rapist character, if you have ugly bastard mind control fetish then you should definitely check it out), but it's nowhere near gantz in terms of atmosphere or keeping you engaded

I tried reading it but bounced off. It's like Oku forgot how to draw or something- the art's so bad and just as blatant with copy-pasting models and jpgs as Gantz that I couldn't tolerate it.

Roba-chan had no purpose, despite being pretty much a secondary protagonist in that arc. He just did a few rapes and then got killed without achieving anything.
At least the superhero team worked as jobbers of the arc, with their leader predictably mutating into a boss.

I dropped it when it started focusing on the octopus dude that steals a chick's body then goes around being a whore.. That shit dragged on for way too many chapters not to be the author's fetish he wanted to play out. Maybe it's tolerable reading in one go instead of weekly.
