I love Gantz. It's one of my fave animes of all time. I took a lot of inspirations from it when I began writing. So when Oku said he would be doing another Manga I jumped on it right away. Did we get another masterpiece? Or least as entertaining as Gantz? Not really but alot of interesting ideas.

What I liked: Ichiro (the main character) is treated like shit by his family. His daughter thinks he's a loser. His wife makes fun of his age/look. His son is embarrassed of him. It's awful and you actually feel for the old man. I also love the pacing. You get to really get a look inside of his life but also get to the main plot quickly once a alien ship of somesort lands on top of the old man and another young man. When Ichiro awakens he notices he's not all that human anymore. Being able to transform to a robot, which is pretty badass. You see him, the old man use his powers for good, and it's awesome.

What I didn't like: Some of the art can be iffy. Almost feels like the characters are out of place. I also think the last chapter is a little cheesy. Alot of throwback to Gantz, and it feels like the author is just feeding his own ego. We get it, Gantz is fun and awesome, but dissing your critics is a little sad. I didn't like that. And it felt pointless with these new kids and the ending was easy to see coming.

I'm still eager to get deeper in. While not as good as Gantz start it still is very exciting. Hopefully it gets even better. A 3.5/5.
