Gantz/8 by Hiroya Oku
5.0

BAM BAM BAM! Heads rolling! Bodies...swirling? Well they getting sliced up. Boobies bouncing (I swear) and monsters turning into gigantic slug like monsters. Holy hell this volume was insane. No one is safe. Things get crazy and people begin to get picked off one by one. We lost 80% of the crew last time, but besides one major one the rest were throwaways. By the end of this...well let's just say we about empty on "heroes"

What I liked: The action was intense and easy to follow. The pacing was perfect. The ending was heartbreaking. The blood was everywhere. This was also the least amount of fan service. I mean a couple of boobs but that's it! Oh and a butt. Also the ending with the mystery guy asking questions get you hyped for the future.

What I didn't like: Pretty much love this volume. Loss is the theme and they handle it well.

Gantz just stepped into forth gear here, and I'm hoping it continues. From what I remember it falters but if I can get 3-4 more volumes like this I'll be a happy camper.
