Are they going to bring the anime back? I hate reading the manga because for half the panels in the manga you can't tell what the hell is going on. At least with the anime you could tell what was going on. Has the production on the anime been stopped for good?

They gave it a filler ending, so considering how expensive it would be to animate the later arcs I'd say so.

Not necessarily. He's kicked rear end without it a few times, the manga's made a point to show how incredibly rare and lucky/skilled someone is for doing that.

Looks like the aliens are organ harvesters or here for meat. The sterilization, single shot the the forehead, and hanging up for the blood to drain is what we do to cows and other animals at a slaughterhouse.

Also, note an interesting art callback: The guy talking about the dead sparrow likes to squish his face like Sebastian likes to...a hint he's watching things unfold as well?

So who's already thinking pedo-stach, in the middle of all the death, plans to surprise sex Tae? You'd think that'd be TOO obvious, but Oku tends to go to great lengths to show how horribly selfish people are to each other, even in crisis situations. Maybe he knows Tae has a superpowered boyfriend who will save her?

Twice? I remember him fighting the vampires, but what was the other time?
Besides, the aliens are essentially giant Gantzers. He's already at the disadvantage in terms of numbers, so having his main lifeline cut would really screw him up.

Kuwavbara also seemed to be doing alright without his suit, and presumably he does it pretty regularly if raping all those aliens is a regular practice of his.

Yeah, but I doubt we'll see the Osaka crew anymore. They were a one-shot group designed to show that teamwork is pretty much the only way humans can survive, regardless of your skill level.

They were also another other-series cameo, just like Lara Croft was, and Oku tends to not re-use those.

He fought against the Suzuki aliens without a suit, the boss even.

Guess that makes it three times.

e: Mr Tanaka was the name of the aliens in the manga, Suzuki in the anime

Yep. Two successes without (Dinosaurs & Bird Aliens), and a pretty solid run against the vampires (where he wasn't even technically a GantZer).

Though I'm not sure why I do, since a sadistic rapist isn't exactly a hero or respectable character.

He raped a giant transforming demon thing that slaughtered almost the entire team. Think about that for a second.
His first course of action was to gently caress a demon that killed all his teammates!

Which cost him his arms and legs, and he still tried to get one of his female teammates to let him gently caress her afterward.

gently caress that was a cool arc. That 100 pointer was super creepy, especially when it turned into like an old lady, and was the only time in the manga where I felt like there was no way the gantzers could win.
I think we might see them again since one of them was dedicated to be stronger and bring the girl back to life. In any other shounen it would be a given. Of course we could just see their mutilated corpses in a single transition panel.

We go play orbital catch around the curvature of the earth, son.

Bugs me to no end how a manga with such good art and a neat premise is saddled with a story and* dialogue by Timmy age 11. So many exploding heads of characters I don't care about. It's sad that the writing is so one-dimensional on every level that even the innocent bystanders seem like paper cutouts rather than innocents being slaughtered tragically - no matter how much lavish anatomical detail the series artist puts into the splattering guts.


*hahahahaha story my rear end...'series of random things where often edgy violent/perverse stuff happens' is more accurate.

I tried reading this and started getting tired of the same old tropes being trotted out again once things stopped exploding no one was doing anything other than run away and scream for about 6 issues in a row. The only reason for anyone over the age of 15 to take an interest in this dumb series ever is for the art. Wake me up when the series ends and the artist gets hooked up with a good writer at least someone who actually knows what 'story' and 'plot' is

If I want this kind of balls-to-the-walls brutality I'll read something in the vein of Ichi the Killer or Gunnm/battle angel alita. At least poo poo like that has decent writing behind it.

That first page is something straight out of some weird hentai.

Things are getting pretty drat crazy, but it's pretty interesting. I'm really digging how the aliens are designed and the artist did a great job of making the "dog" both cute and unnerving.

Weeeell, at least we shouldn't have to worry too much about bug surprise sex for a little while. Oku got it out of his system, at least for the time being.

Also, I'm really loving these aliens now. The parallels to human society are great. I wasn't sure what to think at first (I liked them, but wasn't 100%), but I'm sold now.
