Thread: L33T speaking Gantz?

I'm kinda really confused, how come in some of the chapters Gantz speaks in L33T (or 1337 or leet or whatever the hell its called), in some hes got bad english, and some hes got perfect english?

That confuses me, and can I get the latest ones in the first virsion, that was the coolest

BTW, cool emoticons, but dont you think there may be too many?

The scanlators. They each have different styles.

Yay, I love you guys now

Yup. We're awesome like that .

Does the way Gantz talks in japanese similar to l33t-speak in japanese? Like, does he use the japanese equivalent of l33t? Or did the scanlation group just decide to do that on a whim? Because, as much as I hate l33t normally, as it was used in Gantz was hilarious.

I'm pretty sure Gantz spoke normally in the original Japanese. After all, there is no Japanese equivalent of l33t speak, simply because it is impossible to substitute anything for Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Also, the fansubs of the anime were a direct translation, and Gantz spoke plain English.
