So even though the first third of the story was kinda bad in my opinion, it doesn't last for long and the payoff that comes after it's over truly impressed me. There are a ton of chapters but they're very short and full of action which makes the series a quick read despite having almost 400 chapters. It had me on the edge of my seat more times than I can recall. The final third of the story is what made me feel so glad that I didn't give up on this series. It's much more bearable and intense in the final third because this time the violence and horror is happening to people we actually care about instead of a bunch of unlikable nobodies. The last third of the series is unbelievably terrifying with some of the most gruesome and disgusting battle/survival scenes in the history of fiction. The protagonist Kei for example, I hated him with all my heart for the first third of the series, he became progressively more likable in the second third of the story and then he evolved into one of the most memorable, unlikely heroes I've ever seen in this storytelling medium throughout the final third. Some characters that were absolutely unbearable in the beginning became polar opposites of their original selves and even made me sympathize with them quite a bit. Once the real enemies are revealed, it's mind-blowing how the series had been secretly foreshadowing their arrival from the very beginning.Īlthough it takes a while, some really good characters are introduced later on in the series and they're the ones that made me want to read to the end.
As it progresses, however, the character development becomes pretty incredible and the growing threat of the enemies feels truly well done. The beginning is dragged down by repulsive and unlikable characters, a messily paced story, unnecessary sexualization and gratuitous violence without much substance. Review: I almost gave up on Gantz several times, but now that I've read it all the way to the end, I'm glad I stuck with it. Synopsis: Gantz tells the story of a teenager named Kei Kurono, among others, who die but find themselves brought back in perfectly healthy bodies and forced to participate in a "game" where they must hunt down and kill aliens.
