I just finished the Tae mission and Phase 1 is just so brilliant. It's filled with amazing character development, tense scenes, well written dialogue, and it's just so interesting. It makes me sad how the series has turned out, but we'll always have Phase 1.

Just finished the Oni Mission. God damn, the scoring is filled with so many feelings.

Holy shit. The fight against Nuri fucking DRAGS. It's painful. I also forgot how much time was spent with the Osaka team. The Tokyo team is barely in Phase 2.

Yeah, I love rereading Gantz too; the Oni Mission especially. As for the Osaka mission... well, it's not as bad as rereading it for the first time... chapter after chapter of killing Nura, with two week gaps between chapters... that mission literally took years.

Just got up to date. Phase 3 isn't so bad when you don't have to wait two weeks for each chapter. Definitely better than Phase 2 in actual pacing.

I think the biggest flaw with Phase 3 is just how much Tae can get out of. She's been the sole survivor in three different instances in the span of 60 chapters.

I'm rereading Gantz again, woo. I started the other day and I'm in the Tanaka mission. Kei just found the Boss Tanaka and shit's going down. I think this is my third time.

After catching up to Gantz again, I'd have to say that the Katostrophe arc was actually really fucking good without having to wait for weeks before being able to read the next part, kinda. I mean, there was just ingenuity with some of the shit that they were fighting. Just the Tae portion pissed me off.
Also: Osaka was only really good for the kills, really. And I established my hatred for Tae further by reading every fucking part she was in and Kurono was crying. I mean, like. Who the fuck cries for an entire chapter?

I'm saving my next reread for when the series ends. Hopefully the ending will spark some interest and we can get the site back up to speed.

The series as a whole is pretty good, but it has its shit moments. For instance: Kurono and Tae fly through space on the enhanced Monobike; she has trouble breathing and shit, but she lives.

Oh, man. I can't wait to re-read this. Have to hold out till the end, though. I also swore not to re-read Berserk again until the end either. Fuck me. The series as a whole is pretty good, but it has its shit moments. For instance: Kurono and Tae fly through space on the enhanced Monobike; she has trouble breathing and shit, but she lives. I have a thread for this! gantzplayers.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gan&action=display&thread=704&page=3I still plan to do more when I re-read it. But you re-read it recently, right? Your memory should still be fresh.

Yeah, I finished it sometime this week. Also: I re-read Berserk like, last month. Started it again after I finished Gantz. Berserk's just fucking amazing and I can't wait to see how everything plays out. I'm curious on what's going to happen with Casca.

I know, it's just so great. Guts, man. He's just such an awesome character. Guts and Caska, <3.
Guts needs to get his girl back. Problem is his dick is going to stop working from all the beatings he takes. If it isn't broken already, him fucking Caska so many times once she returns to normal will do the trick.
lol, it'd actually be really awesome if Miura put that in there. Not about the dick not working, but when (if) Caska returns, an entire chapter is dedicated just to show Guts and Caska having sex over and over and over for like a week. That'd be just such an awesome, epic moment to put in there for my nigga Guts. Deserves that shit like a champ.

I love Guts. Part of me's evil, though. Kinda want her to get killed so I can see Guts tear Griffith's asshole to his mouth.
I really wanna know what's gonna happen with the other God Hands, though. Will they kill Guts if he slays Griffith?

I just want her to get killed so it'll be sad. In fact, I DON'T want Guts to kill Griffith. Why? Because that'd be even more sad. But I at least want Caska to get back to normal first before she dies. I really wanna know what's gonna happen with the other God Hands, though. Will they kill Guts if he slays Griffith? That reminds me, Miura said something about eventually telling the backstories of all the godhand. Can't wait for that. I dunno, but I know Slan has like a sadistic crush on him. She might try to kill him, but out of lust. She's crazy like that.
