Well, I just finished this manga and in a way I had a good time, it's like taking the concept of the Bully who is in love with the main character but giving it a twist that she ends up being the embarrassed one, I think it's refreshing.
Story: The truth is simple in everything, from the plot itself to the narrative, but it's not heavy, but if I have something bad to say it was the ending, it really felt more like the beginning of an arc than an ending, it was too dry, insipid to be one.
Characters: The characters were likable from my point ... of view and always respected their own characterization.
Art: I liked the designs, let's move on to the next point.
Entertainment: I watched all the chapters in one day and it wasn't heavy, I really enjoyed it.

I like the reviews as Hiroya loves to put porn in any situation no matter how stupid it is, Gantz is a manga that I read a long time ago in my edgy stage so I had it in better esteem, but I reread it about 3 months ago, so I'll say it like this, it is not so good in fact it has more bad things than good, the first volumes of the manga the plot does not advance at all, the experiences of the characters have inconsistencies in the continuity, I will give you an example in mission 7 you have to kill ... Tae Kojima Kurono's girlfriend for taking a picture of someone from the Gantz team, mission 7 was good it had drama and the characters didn't get out of their characterization so you will tell me what is the problem? , the problem is mission 8 nothing happened, it seems that mission 7 never happened, there is no reaction, everything is the same, really?, well also another problem of Gantz is the introduction of elements without justification as the famous and almost meme "VAMPIRES", in if they are not vampires are parasitic aliens but that's not the problem, the problem is that they introduce out of nowhere that they are a species that hunts the gantzers and with enough information of the organization and that one of those members is the brother of kurono? what?, then they literally get tired and say they don't want to fight anymore and stop having any kind of relevance in the plot, and how to forget the stupid things like in the mission of the statues the ones that survived were supposed to be free from Gantz and they take away the explosive, well so that later in a catastrophe they put the bombs in their brains again? why take them away in the first place, and you can't justify they didn't know, the sphere literally was the estimated time of the invasion, but well let's talk about Catastrophe, if you like it I have no problem we all have different tastes, but what I will say may make you angry.
Catastrophe is a piece of shit and one of the worst arcs in general that I have seen, it is an arc with a weak and contradictory argument, a slow narrative rhythm and with a lot of filler, this arc lasts 10 volumes with 8 chapters each one, that is to say 80 chapters, even the drawing is falling because of its abuse of CGI (This refers only to the images made by computer, so that the smart guy doesn't come and say that it is animation, for it to be animation a node is used to use them as bending points), see several panels and tell me what things are fighting and who is winning, it's really unbelievable, the filler is absurd, it makes no sense, it's a bunch of sexual scenes when it's supposed to be the end of the world and that they are the only hope for humanity, and not only that but from the approach we are wrong because there is not one, although the premise is the end of the world this happens as a background what we will see is Kurono rescuing Kojima, the rescue of civilians, Sakurai's revenge? none of this is important in the premise of this one, it is supposed to be a final battle at the end of the world but this does not have the slightest relevance, if you want to justify with the rescue of civilians just tell you and what was the plan, wait for the aliens do not return to attack civilians? and the worst thing is that even when we are told textually that humanity has no chance and when we were never shown the opposite, literally we were not shown anything, humanity for some reason won, this is scripting in all the law, the final chapter is mega forced the previous chapter was supposed to have no ships to return, but in the final chapter thanks to the holy spirit and the virgensita de guadalupe, it turns out that an american sphere works while the others don't, after that they are shipwrecked 3 days later they find them and everyone lived happily ever after. ........
The final panel is nice but the plot is straight up so stupid I couldn't care less, I don't care if it's a happy ending or a dark ending, the joke is that it has to be well argued, this ending is worse than SNK's and by far.
Ok I've talked trash about this manga, but if there is something good I guess it would be some characters like Kato or Kurono whose character arcs make sense (more or less) and that these are charismatic I guess, also despite of catastrophe Gantz has beautiful panels even in its final arc and the battles are very entertaining and not heavy to read.

Yes I know this topic is more burned than me after I got a flame from the boiler, but I'm bored and I want to make a bible.
I personally consider this mangaanime series pretty good but with a bad ending the truth and the extra pages are horrendous, too but before talking about this I want to clarify these points:
Eren pigeon is just a symbolism of freedom, used ridiculously but it is a symbolism after all and not a reincarnation, although I'll continue with the pigeon mame XD
That Mikasa was able to "surpass" (because with the extra pages I have a lot of doubts) Eren ... I guess it would be the logical conclusion of his character arc.
Eren had a logical evolution but what happened was a lack of constant development during the whole series, so doing the time skip if it looked very abrupt the change of this one.
Levi is not a Gary Stu, since the characteristics of this one do not limit or centralize the plot, which is essential in the gary stus.
I won't take the fandom into account to make this kind of critique although more than critique it's just my pure opinion or I don't know, you decide what will be xd
I'll start talking about the plot, this was quite constant in almost all the series and in fact, it didn't present inconsistencies in terms of the actions of its characters as in the laws established in these or well this was before the end that in this we have quite considerable inconsistencies, some small as Armin and Eren had of scenario in an eruption when it is not supposed to work that way the titan power since it is needed that someone must be there an eldian thing which there was no one, or bigger ones like Ymir seeing through Mikasa which can't be done because Mikasa is not an eldian, we can also consider as incoherence the redemption of Zeke by Armin's words which was quite stupid and forced that someone like Zeke is convinced in such an easy way, like the final stretch they changed the writer because I don't know what's up with this, is it the same isayama?
Well as for the characters, most of them are pretty good, they have a good base and fulfill their function well, there are also characters like Armin, Erwin and Reiner that are the GOD of this series but they are also ........ Mikasa as a character I don't know why Isayama relegated her so much to be the living weapon and personal servant of Eren all the series, so that out of nowhere her relationship with him becomes the resolution of the work, it doesn't make sense the idea is fine but it had to be developed, which didn't happen, Mikasa is such a bland and one-dimensional character that one questions what was the purpose of this decision.
As for the drawing I will say that it had a great evolution in this, the truth before the drawing was ugly but Isayama began to be more detailed, but even so the adaptation that Wit did gave a plus to the series.
In conclusion for me this series is quite good but it has a bad ending.

Berserk is a simply incredible manga, how can it exist that all its aspects have quality?
Story and characters: The story is quite deep and somehow has no plot holes, everything in a way is very well argued and its narrative is so good that it is easy to understand something without the need to have it explained to you, it uses all the expository elements that graphic novels offer to tell the story and this is very good, almost all the characters have their reason to exist and none of them is useless for the plot, Guts is one of the best protagonists I've come ... to appreciate, his evolution is natural and subject to the circumstances of his world, his world building is tremendous and he doesn't even need a 500 page bible to understand how it works, this is more appreciated in the millennium falcon arc and in the fantasy arc, if I had to talk about something bad and forcing it too much it would be that Puck lost relevance and was relegated to a walking joke, I have also seen that some people don't like (those who don't dope after the golden age and possibly have only seen the animated adaptations) the change of tonality that suffers after the reincarnation of Griffith that the world of berserk is becoming less dark, which makes sense within the world, Jesus Christ but albino came to Midland and began to solve all the problems of the world, it would be stupid that the world will remain static and not change.
Art: It's very very good, one of the best graphic novels in terms of drawing, it's mega detailed and everything is crazy, the only reproachable thing is that at the beginning the drawing was not so good and that the manga has constantly proportion errors but it's irrelevant.
I enjoyed this manga too much, it's my favorite manga of all my life and I think it's one of the best graphic novels in general, it's a titan of quality in every sense, although I wouldn't recommend it to a person who can't stand strong scenes or to a stupid edgy person.

I don't know what to think about jagaaan, it started off pretty well but it has lost a lot of narrative strength as the chapters go by, I don't know if it's because the mangaka has given more importance to his other manga, but it seems like a good manga, it's nothing great but it's good to pass the time.
History: its story is enough, it has a more or less clear path but it does not go further, there is no risk in this one, its structure is very similar to gantz, a series of "missions" that must be completed to reach a certain point.
Characters: ... The truth at the beginning I had some expectation in Jagasaki, but as time went by it was simplified so to speak, it was not so much a redemption in his character arc if not rather his own problems were left aside, although it still does not end it can improve, as for the other characters some are very good and others not so good, it has its ups and downs.
Art: It's very inconsistent, sometimes it looks like something made by Kentaro Miura and other times it looks like something made by One.
