Anyone else disappointed in the ending to the Gantz manga?
After all my favorite characters died I really wasn't hoping for a 'happy' ending…
Also I would really love an 'afterwards' chapter to you know see how the cleanup of the millions of dead people is going or how humanity is rebuilding itself and if humans are still over all a bad and useless species (well Im sure I know the answer to that last one…)
Also why we are here… anyone else tired of explaining to their non nerdy friends where the 'Why you no' meme comes from ...

I think that would have been a little heavy handed for Gantz, I don't think Oku ever aspired to make a statement on the human race. Since the story didn't seem to be building up towards anything in particular, the eighties video game -style ending was probably the most appropriate way to get it over with.

Oh yeah I'm still butthurt about the ending of the gantz manga, they never did anything with that blonde vampireas I kept expecting something to happen with his character but nothing ever did. They also never really explained the origins of the psychics which pissed me off too.
Also Reika went out like a punk fighting some shitty cg monster offscreen
That being said the ending is still better then the ending of the gantz anime and movies though. So yeah those of you who want a good ending in gantz, the mangas the closest your going to get I'm afraid.

I agree with the anime being flawed. The animation was beautiful though. I wish they would redo the whole thing.

Well if you recall in the manga there is a mission where they make Tae a target (which was similar to making Kei the target)

Right, but it just felt incidental alongside the aliens and superaliens and weird developments and other character arcs and die-offs.
Gantz for me was always an episodic adventure. It felt kind of like one of those old school games that has really repetitive but challenging and instinct-based gameplay, except there are actual characters involved. These characters, however, were not really driven anywhere by an overarching plot, given the lack of any relevant overarching plot. Kurono in the end seemed more or less the same Kurono as in the beginning.

Re: Gantz Ending
Well after starting the series about three and a bit years ago (roughly around when I started on here) I finally finished, with Dark Horse having put out the last English tankōbon last month:
It's been one hell of a journey and nearly all my favourite characters are dead. I'm going to miss my semi-regular fixes of Kurono and Kato. Let's hope the 3D CGI animated film next year does the source material justice and gives us some batshit crazy action.
