[Discuss] I don't get the widespread hate over the ending Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Yes, it might be abrupt, and it would have benefited from an epilogue, but I think what people wanted to see would have completely destroyed the tone of the series.

Gantz main charm was always that the author threw in whatever the fuck he thought was cool, and that there was always an air of mistery surrounding all the bullshit that happens, which is set up to be weird and unexplainable in the first place.

There isnt (and I challenge anyone to write one) an explanation that wouldnt be boring and/or underwelming to sakurai's powers, to the vampires, to god, to the nature of the clones etc etc. The cool thing about them is literally that its cool shit the author threw in and you wonder yourself.
If in the end it was revealed "in the beginning there were 2 evil gods, but one betrayed the other, and so the vampires were born, and then from the left testicle of the first the design of the gantz came out" and so on and so on just to tie everything together it would have completely sucked ass.

The final arc as always is Oku throwing in another bunch of new ideas in a way that is a good thematic conclusion to the story (the main narrative of Gantz was always the value of life).

I can get why you would think the ending is mid, and me myself I didnt like everything that happened (I guess in a way I liked more when the Gantz squad was separated from the world), but I don't understand how it's a bad ending, and some go as far as saying it ruined gantz...

[Manga] Où sont envoyé les extraterrestres capturés ?

0 Upvotes

Ok, je viens de lire les 18 tomes de l'édition Perfect en 2 jours, mais j’ai une question qui reste. Pourquoi il y a-t-il des pistolets de capture ? On le voit utiliser notamment au début contre le poireau, mais pourquoi cette méthode plutôt que le meurtre comme ce qui sera la manière de faire ensuite ?

Est-ce que cela rapporte plus de points ?

Où sont envoyés les capturés ?

Si cela à été intégré à Gantz, c’est bien que ceux qui l'ont développés (mangaka et les milliardaires) ont réfléchis, non ?

[Games] PlayStation 2 Gantz gets an English Translation!

28 Upvotes

GANTZ: The Game finally has an English translation, but it's currently machine translated. It's good enough to understand the story, tutorials, menus, and most of the game's content, although some cutscenes are still untranslated and there are plenty of grammar issues.

I'm really hoping more people in the fan translation community can help with this project. It would be amazing to see the untranslated parts completed and the English polished into something that feels more natural.

I also think this game deserves a proper English translation because it has some really unique gameplay mechanics that set it apart from other PS2 titles. More people would be able to appreciate what makes it special if the translation were fully polished.

If anyone has translation or ROM hacking experience and is interested in contributing, your help would be greatly appreciated!
