"All Help, Request and Feedback Thread for Gantz"

[Cali]

No, I think it's actually the "Gantz equipment from the manual" thread; the "weapon levels" is a good thread but mostly conjecture.

Where can I download the whole Gantz manual (artbook)?
And is it already translated?

[Cali]

I don't know if the old link for the manual is still working, anyway, it's in Japanese.
There is, however, about 30 pages translated by Shocwave, if I'm not mistaken.
I'll upload them, just in case and post the link here as soon as I'm done.

Thanks man. It's a pitty shocwave gave up translating, I don't think DH will translate or publish manual ever.
There should be a second artbook out though, maybe after Osaka's over?

[Cali]

^There should be indeed, but for now that's only assumption and hope for us fans.

On a side note, hey Morten, would you, or anyone else, know anything about that supposed enterview in which Oku made mention to intending the manga to have 3 phases? Just to be sure whether it was a real piece of info or just some random crazy plot twist people came up with...

[morten]

^ Yeah, I heard that at RiTuAL forums, but I'm not sure. It was something mentioned on Oku Hiroya's homepage if I'm right, and they roughly translated it. I looked at the interviews on Gantz Otaku french but they don't mention that.

Here's some quotes:

Gantz en est à 24 tomes et entame tout juste la seconde phase. .... Gantz : (2000-?)
La deuxième phase n'est pas exclusive à Gantz... Il y a aussi du mouvement ... Et un mois plus tard, Hiroya Oku venait sur notre site.

That's all I know about Gantz will only has three phases.
Someone has more information on these rumours?

[darkus-s6]

there was something in somewhere in here

[Black Sheep]

^ That's a hong kong site, I can't read...

But where was the official rumour that Gantz will only have three phases?

[ikari]

Cali is right on the top post - my thread is Gantz equipment in the manual, not Weapon Levels - I dont really agree on alot from that thread.

Since that about Gantz will only have three phases are rumours yet (I didn't figure out Oku Hiroya's personal homepage yet though...), let's keep them rumours till they're facts, okay?

I didn't have time to read that thread yet, but I'm not the decision maker ikari. If you think the most important parts about Gantz equipment should be part of Gantz FAQ, then go ahead and copy-pasta the stuff into it. More info won't hurt.
