Today I learned that I have a knee-jerk reaction of anger when people badmouth Gantz.

It is incredibly adolescent.

But in a way, that's almost what's most interesting about it.

Yeah, well, that's your opinion.

...Seriously though, I suppose I get why you'd say that, considering Kei's POV. He starts off as a very young guy -- with all that entails -- but has some extreme character development over the volumes.

Incorrect. I stole this opinion.

And Kei's POV is a large part of it, but it's present throughout. The cynicism, the gore, the approach to sexuality, the emotional troughs and dialogue. Hell even the humour and way it's outlaid like a videogame, it's all very particular to the approach you'd see from someone in their teen years.

Which makes it quite interesting in its own right.

I've never seen Gantz, but unless it has truely deplorable skeevy fanservice then it's not better than Exaxxion in 'every way'.

Don't get me wrong, the plot, technology, and semi-realistic science was all amazing but godDAMN does Sonoda love to ruin his works with really gross shit.

I don't know which series the picture is of (presumably Exaxxion), but the fact that 'large-breasted' is the first thing listed in two of the girls' descriptions, followed by their 'model' looks...yuck.

I've never read Exaxxion, only a few chapters of Gantz a while ago, and there's fanservice that feels -- well, it's really over the top and I think ill_omened calling it "incredibly adolescent" is spot-on. There's something so ridiculous about where it goes that it doesn't really feel insidious. It's more akin to a trashy b-movie or two teens trying to one-up each other with stuff that could happen or stories they totally heard did happen to a cousin's friend-of-a-friend... But it could fall into someone's deplorable/skeevy/gross categories.

It's quite impressive that you can make such a detailed judgment based on reading "only a few chapters", when there's almost 40 volumes to be had.

ayrt

Oops, I meant volumes! For some reason, I had it in my head that the series ran a lot longer. So looking up to where I remember reading to, it must have been ~24 volumes (I missed a couple volumes, but remember the Osaka team and the Kurono clone).
