I dont think he cares about that guy.

Post by **Grahf** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:26 am

Maybe he will revive all the people that had died while he was there. Dunno this needs a direction at the moment. But I hope he takes the ultra strong weapon.

He will never choose a weapon before Kie and Lara.

And when he has revived those and he gets 100 p that manga will end or something.

First of all, the manga isn't gonna end b/c there are still some big-shots out there that needs to be killed. Second, perhaps he has 200 points or more? So he can do 2 actions.

I still dont' see how everyone thinks Lara would be that much of a factor. Perhaps he would want to revive everyone but I doubt she meant that much to him.

I think he will bring her back mostly cause he screwed her.

Devil_Dante:

When he gets 100 p more than once by that time he would have taken care of big baddies like the vamps.

In my mind:

Blame vs. Gantz

why? because they both are very different, i read them both around the same time, and they both dont explain shit about the plot.

Post by **Grahf** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 3:59 am

Yeah I remember reading 3 chapters of blame and was like. "....................................................... The fuck is so good about this?"

Post by **Devil_Dante** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 12:42 pm

what is blame about?

Post by **Libaax** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 7:14 pm

I felt the same about Blame read the first vol and didnt get anything cause.... nothing happened. It was one of few mangas i have had to give up on.

Maybe it gets good after several vols and the main starts to actually talk or else its the most overrated manga ever.

Ooh, I just figured another hilarious twist.. Kurono chooses freedom!

That'd be awesome man.. the others can't really blame him, but would be very surprised, then for a few chapters, life starts to look to be normal for him and his girlfriend (if he even remembers her after being released)while lots of bad crap starts to happen to the others because of the vampires.

The vampires kill the other dude for revenge, and then invade kurono's life, killing him and for the sweetness of irony, he lands straight back into the gantz with no idea what's going on and now no chance whatsoever to save his girlfriend, gives the character plenty of fuel for anger to kill all the vampires and aliens and to get to the bottom of this horrible tool called gantz.

effing sweet.. hope it goes something like that for the sheer 'freaakyy' factor that'd be.. or is that really sadistic and weird of me?

well.. we'll see what happens.. hope it keeps us interested.

He wont forget her thats for sure and he wont choose freedom until he has gotten everyone out from GANTZ.

Post by **kasgarinn** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 3:38 am

Welllll... let's see what he does.

I'm rooting for the easy way out, as that always backfires on the main character, and in this situation that could lead to some pretty heavy stuff.

If he chooses to get everyone out which is already in there.. I'd go omg.. yaaawn.. it's the most boring and most repetitive 'manga-hero-like' option he could pick.. I seriously hope the storywriter doesn't make him do that, as that's just "hey let's put in an endless loop so we can continue this endlessly, and hey.. I have an idea, gantz has been around for millions of years, and the screen they saw with all the people is just the first screen of 10 billion screens, yeah.. I'll make millions of yen just farting out bad fight-scenes with lots of gasping and breathing and the occasional money-shot"

So I'd rather that the main character chooses a way which leads to the end of the story, even though there might be a long time until that end is reached, I feel that 'saving everyone' is just a loop (the writer can always just make up as many victims as he wants), and only leaves things up in the air.

Endings I'd like, 1) he says thanks and goodbye. 2) he says, I'll save the people who've I've been fighting with and deserve to live, and then goodbye. 3) he says, I'll get to the bottom of this whole crap with gantz if it's the last thing I do, and then goodbye. 4) I'll find and kill every single vampire which messed with us and then goodbye.

But as I said at the start.. we'll see what he'll decide..

Not much...the setting is kinda cool though. Its like in the way far future and the main character is stuck in this huge building complex with many levels that are overrun by cyborgs, midgets and what not. Then thats all...nothing really happens cept he walks around and looks at stuff. A full 10 volumes of just looking around at stuff, kinda reminded me about those "poetic" art sculptures that are of absolutely nothing recognizable yet some ppl like them anyways.

Edit: And from the ending options above, just think which one will make the series go on the longest. That's probably what will happen

I've finally caught up on this one, after losing interest a while ago.

Well, I must say that fight didn't finish half-bad, but now I have to wait for chapters again, damn.

Anybody translate 218 yet?

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 11:47 pm

Yeah its out.

Hmm, interesting development in 220, but I don't like the turn of events. It'll mean more anxiety bullshit... unless the rules changed a LOT.

Post by **Devil_Dante** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 6:33 pm

I wonder in who's perspective the story is going to evolve now. And bringing back nishi was a bad move, since he isn't a team player and only cares for himself.

Post by **kasgarinn** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 11:03 pm

YEEEESSSSSSS!!! AAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

GOD DAMMIT I WAS RIGHT!

I loooooove this series now, it fucking rocks!!!!!

oh the sweetness of how he'll get back to normal life while the rest get seriously fucked up, and then he gets dragged back in, oh I'll so enjoy it.

The anti-hero's still an anti-hero even though he became a hero for a short while.. love it..

Even though the whole underlying plot is kinda crap, the pure genius in character development and consistency is fucking awesome.

Let the dark-arc begin! Cry HAVOK! the dogs of war shall be unleashed!

funny, this is exactly what I'm not looking forward to...

but then, that's purely a matter of taste. I just don't like the thought of erasing someone's memory.

Post by **Libaax** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 11:59 pm

I dont like this but at the same time i understand that Kurono wants to live with Tae without going to GANTZ for mission.

He will lose the memory of GANTZ only right not Tae and the people he met outside GANTZ?

Post by **Albator** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 1:51 am

Are we actually sure he'll pick #1? For what I get he's considering it, but didn't clearly choose.

Post by **Libaax** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 2:32 am

I think its done already cause when you say the nr you choose its done as we saw when they bringed back the others.
