Part III has been an absolutely turd
At least the anime final mission had...what did it have? I guess it was colorful. Yeah. All the new characters had colorful generic anime hair. That was pretty.

Are you talking about Katastrophe?

I have to admit that so far Ren is right. The basic fact of the whole invasion final is not going so well. Its just drawn out to the point where people are losing interest. Admittedly, while the ending filler did fuck with the suits and whatnot, there was only like one dull moment in the entire filler ending (that part where he saves the girl and she talks about the damn book).
The filler ending had great sadistic characters, the lagless guns (which were fun), kurono character development, and fun deaths. The invasion had a flashing discoball, pissed off sakurai, and big, funny-looking aliens.
In other words, this ending for the manga better be fucking spectacular or its gonna get beaten by a filler ending.

The Italian mission is what I consider 'scouting' for the mission afterwards. So you could also add that in there. Italian mission was pretty sweet. Inaba died after becoming kinda cool. Kurono got sliced in half before being transferred.

No, that's not all the invasion arc had so far, Halo.
You forgot to mention how they revealed the purpose of the Gantz missions, how the aliens are not actually man made and are actually aliens from other planets. How Tae's parents have died (confirmed for father, don't know about the mom). How people have hacked Gantz balls. How America got nuked. How new Gantz characters were introduced (to parallel the new characters introduced in the filler). How Gantz collaborated with Nishi and Kurono. How Gantz died. How Nishi saved Takeshi. The Blond Nazi alien after Kurono. Mustache Man in the Advanced Suit. Death of Sakurai's girlfriend. Alien museum. Danny Trejo alien. Loli guy. Humans "allying" themselves with the aliens. "I'm only 20-something, let me beat the alien up with my bare fists" guy.
Oh, yeah, and then there's the fact that probably 25% of the human population had been either eaten or just killed as well, at the very least. Eaten. That's fucking disgusting.

Ok, admittedly i neglected some facts but i don't consider the start of the ending untill they actually land and attack kurono's school. Not a big fan of the alien helping kurono, but i did like nishi and takeshi, so i will give you that. But that is a point i could make, this arc feels too long. Sure each character has a purpose and whatnot, but the story feels like its progressing too slowly.

Yeah, I don't really mind if you think it's too slow. I even admit that some panels show needless things over and over again. Like it sometimes takes two or three pages to show something that can be shown in one, stuff like that. But I don't think it's so bad that it ruins it for me. Different preferences/perceptions that are subjective. Nothing to even argue or "make a point" with, trust me. You dislike it, I don't mind it enough to dislike it.

The animation in the anime was bad. And only one guy had coloured hair. Yeah he was cool but that doesn't make the anime ending any less horrible or fill up the lack of sense that it had.
The Mangas going to end with the humans winning we all know it is. It's the lag of the chapters that bothers all of you, yet I bet you'll all be wishing for chapters of naked tae running around when it's over.
..yeah thats stretching it. Anyone try reading the manga over again up to the point we're at now? It really doesn't take all that long.

to tell the truth i like the anime alot more then the manga to because the manga goes so slowly and in the anime I can actually tell what is going on like in the anime kurono seems really cool and brave after a while but in the manga he just seems whinny all the time
also i like to see the guns in action and you cant really see how awesome they are in pictures

The anime only showed Kurono as a pissy little shit that was good at running away from his problems. The only part he was really badass in was the Buddha and filler missions. Even then, the filler mission was just a big load of shit covered in gore. Plot-wise. Otherwise, it was pretty humorous.

Oh, yeah, and then there's the fact that probably 25% of the human population had been either eaten or just killed as well, at the very least. Eaten. That's fucking disgusting. A million times yes. So many major things have happened in the invasion, and most of them are awesome. I love the filler mission in the anime because it's so bad that it's good, and because it's really funny (both accidentally and on purpose, depending on the scene). "I always admired her tits" indeed, Kurono. But the invasion is genuinely good! In my opinion, the main reason it seems slow is because we're all caught up and now we're reading it chapter by chapter instead of volume by volume. That's the case with me, at least. For a little while I felt a little down about the last few chapters, but then chapters 348 and 349 came out and now I'm happy with the story again. And honestly, I really hope Tae lives. If you all want something really bad to happen to her, maybe she can lose that injured leg or something. Honestly, I love Tae. She's the main reason Kurono stopped being a jerk and became awesome, if you ask me. And they're so freaking cute together. It's a little bright spot in an otherwise very grim story. But yeah, I certainly respect the opinions of those who disagree with me on this. Different strokes for different folks and all that. I just hope we can all give Oku the benefit of the doubt. I think the ending is going to be great.

I'm that cruel bastard that wants Kurono to lose Tae and snap. After he snaps, imagine what he'd be up to in the giant alien ship. Could be doing some funn- I mean gory stuff.

I thought I was the only dude who thought the invasion arc was good. I thoroughly enjoy it, nearly everything except the naked tae running around barely escaping death scenes. Take those out and I have nothing more to really complain about. Except the absence of Hikawa, sebastion, and mustache man. With no clear updates on thier status.
