This was a much better volume.
The writer had to kill off Reika and the guy with the special powers whose name i have forgotten, for me to be pleased!
It was so emotional seeing kurono crying for reika's passing, especially that she died defending him.
I don't know why i have a feeling that there might be scoring time after this invasion and everyone will get revived!
But this would be too good an ending right?
The guys controlling the gantz balls are dead, bombed away by the aliens, which was the same plan they had for the aliens.
Nishi joins the war after hacking the gantz ball.

Vamos a dividirlos en 3
- Los del grupo Tokyo peleando con diversos monstruos en continuación de la parte que televisaban, eso sigue interesante, y tiene un evento fuerte e importante.
- Kurono el que buscaba a Tae, pues eso parece que pero entonces lo teletransportan a un robotote de al parecer el equipo que había hackeado las esferas y está lanzando el ataque contra los aliens, la verdad no impacta y te deja con dudas, pero pues es el inicio.
-A si por ahí sigue el Emo jugando al hacker, patrañas pues.
3 stars
Se me olvidaba, el fan service innecesario y estúpido, una estrella menos

This is a review of the entire series.
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.
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. The beginning is dragged down by repulsive and unlikable characters, a messily paced story, unnecessary sexualization and gratuitous violence without much substance. As it progresses, however, the character development becomes pretty incredible and the growing threat of the enemies feels truly well done. Once the real enemies are revealed, it's mind-blowing how the series had been secretly foreshadowing their arrival from the very beginning.
Although 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 final third of the story is what made me feel so glad that I didn't give up on this series. It had me on the edge of my seat more times than I can recall. 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. 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. It's a flawed, thrilling and horrifying action series that takes a while to kick off. When it finally kicks off, however, it kicks off extremely hard.

"Lame" describes the big emotional part of this volume. So we learn that the team with Kurono and Reika fighting for their lives are actually planned entertainment for the aliens. Ok, I can accept that, except these "alien insects" living in some underground area of the alien base are actually way more powerful than actual aliens who had infiltrated Earth. Waaayyyy more powerful. The power level is just for the sake of dramatising the fight - like I said, if this happened as a Gantz mission, it would git perfectly, but as an alien arena of sorts? Pointless side quest. The worst part of it is that this encounter just serves to give Kurono a different kind of emotion beyond "Tae-chan" - I can accept it happening, but the way it happened is just so lame.
Sakurai has his parts too, as his powers has grown to the point of ridiculousness that no longer adheres to the rules previously established by Sakata. It's kind of sad that this character ended up so inconsequential.

Reika, no sé, sinceramente me choca un poco todo lo ocurrido en este volumen por la relación tóxica que se deja ver por parte de Reika. No sabemos por qué ella tiene este tipo de relaciones poco sanas, no sabemos su trasfondo, tampoco entendemos que la lleva a sentir una locura indescriptible por Kurono, sólo tenemos que dar por hecho que es así y ya está. Justamente eso es lo que me molesta de parte del autor, pero ya más de una ocasión he dicho que es un imbécil desarrollando personajes femeninos, porque podría darse el tiempo más de desarrollar un poco estos personajes, que simplemente dejar todo lo que corresponda a acción y más acción. Porque si bien me encanta ver tantas imágenes espectaculares, al tener que ir subiendo cada vez más ese nivel, termina siendo demasiado barroco todo, y no entiendo nada, ni tampoco me impacta.

Phase 3: Invasion

Once again, Kurono and Tae get split up. Kurono being transferred to large battle suit. He and several other Gantz members were assigned to destroy a tower. Sakurai also transferred to the battle suit. His murderous intent keeps growing and at the critical time, his master, Sakata appears!

Gantz/34 is about a group of black clad Japanese recently dead who are pitted against aliens. In the last several issues, they are in an alien environment. The aliens they are against keep getting tougher and the rules of engagement change as well. In this one, the aliens are some times hard to comprehend and the dialogue sometimes become spaghetti westernlike. The series as a whole has been excellent.

Este tomo es básicamente lo mismo que el tomo anterior, a esta altura algunos de estos capítulos ya parecen relleno... Includo la muerte de algunos personajes principales se siente vacía de emociones, por más que Hiroya Oku intente darles el mayor dramatismo posible. Comienza la batalla final-final, al parecer.

Pues no me termina de convencer cómo va ): en este tomo siguen peleando con lo aliens y sólo se presenta la pérdida de Reika (por querer ir y salvar a Kurono 2, que al final sí lo logra). Tae y Kurono se reencuentran por doceava vez poco antes de separase (wow, qué sorpresa). Quedan 3 tomos y ya me quedan pocas ganas de acabar con esto.

Reseña retroactiva que supongo que voy a aplicar a varios tomos de la serie: Gran serie en general, con muchos altibajos y cosas que no cierran del todo, pero que algún día se va a ganar una maratón. Eso sí, no creo que sea en esta edición, cuya traducción quedó vieja (y pedorra) muy rápido, sino en la nueva Deluxe, que seguramente está con el estándar de calidad actual que le pasa el trapo a aquellos años grises.
Extras del tomo: ninguno, pero aunque no estoy al pedo enumero las publicidades que se incluyeron en las páginas sobrantes: Webs de Ivrea, Bakuman (iba por el #15), Tortugas Ninja (iba por el #2) y Bleach: Saga de los Fullbringers!! (iba por el #52).
Cómo se nota que a esta altura las traducciones y edición en general ya estaba mejorando de nuevo...

Why the fuck would the aliens set up the final test to determine the fate of mankind inside their own city, so that their own people would suffer all the collateral damage. It makes no sense. Hiroya Oku has clearly been inspired by some Dali paintings for his monster design. I'm kind of ambivalent about this volume. Fuck the author for making Reika die just as a way to give Kei2 something to be emotional about.
