Gantz - 9000 Subscriber Megaspecial (Patreon)

Gantz Explained: A Deep Dive Megaspecial - Part 1

At last, it is done. To celebrate our...well now a bit less recent subscriber milestone I am amazingly stoked to finally bring you my deep dive review, cultural analysis and narrative explanation of Gantz, one of my all time favorite manga. While this series has been at least partially forgotten, sometimes regarded as bad or severely problematic, leading to some folks referring to it as the best/worst manga of all time, I still...kind of love it. Warts and all. So today we begin our journey into Hiroya Oku's second most controversial work and also take a huge look at the 90s and early 2000s Japan that influenced it.
