Gantz 383 review: A very messy story with no closure.

This is a better ending than the actual chapter.

This was an incredibly boring, uninspired, parsimonious, and fragmentary ending that I have ever read from a series that I have been following for years.

I was worrying how Hiroyu Oka would wrap up this incredibly long epic, filled with hidden lore that remained untapped and unexplored with characters whose stories were never fully fleshed out completely, and to my mother ****in' surprise OKU BOMBED IT!

I am not pissed because he ended the series, I'm pissed because we had all of these foreshadowing trials designating Kurono as a great person, and key points all leading up to this one moment and we don't even get a proper conclusion to the series. We will never find out why Gantz had an altercation with the Vampires, why the aliens chose earth, the history behind Gantz and how long it was in operation, if the Giants will ever truly return to their home world, who transported the survivors back to earth, and if Kurono and the others could successfully readjust to civilian life after suffering from numerous attacks, near-death situations, and nearly losing everything that meant anything to them. This story had no closure.

This ending was so terrible, that I had NO second thoughts about reading it again. It was the worst chapter in the entire series.  YOU DO NOT END A SERIES ON A CLIFFHANGER AND NOT ATTEMPT TO TIE UP ANY LOOSE ENDS.



The Storm Trooper is the fans, Oku is George Lucas.

Now, what I did like about this chapter was the ending fight, which was fast and rushed, like this chapter. Kurono blew the blonde alien's brains. Then they all frantically escape, and Kurono and Kato hold their loved ones. The end. That's it. I'm not even truckin' kidding. That's it. Bam. Over. We get a few cheers, but no resolution to the story, no repercussions, no real ending. Just a cliffhanger for another never-to-be-released chapter.                                                  What was the theme of this manga anyway? I've read every chapter and it seemed to speak on the strengths of humanity. We don't get that in the end. We don't even know how Kurono has changed since then. Nothing.

This entire series gets an unsatisfactory 4/10. I give it a 4 because of certain thought-provoking chapters, good fight scenes, unexplored concepts, and SOME character development.
