You gotta improve your mental fortitude, my child. It's a product of its time. Unless if it's for a masturbatory essay regarding how morally right we are right now compared to back then, it's pointless to impose current moral standards on a work that predates such.

I did not say nor imply it was always an intelligent choice for the manga back then.

Saying "its a product of his time" doesnt kind of do that? Or what did you meant by It them?

u/Expert-Love5116 20d ago

Oh thank god you asked  me properly. Thanks, really. I appreciate it.  What I meant by "product of his time" was this:

Seinen manga back then in the 2000s was very unrestrained in what it was allowed to depict Oku Hiroya and some other mangakas enjoyed that much freedom to a tee. Take note that volume 11 with the shinjuku massacre chapter was released around 2003. It was that unrestrained.

There were no serious actions to the situation until  2010, when the Japanese Government passed the controversial Bill 156 amendment to the Youth Healthy Development Ordinance. This law aimed to restrict the sale and distribution of manga and anime depicting "substantially exaggerated" sexual or violent acts involving characters who look like minors. 

After gantz, Hiroya Oku did Inuyashiki in 2013. It really was a breather against edgy stories. It actually depicted old men and fathers in a really good way. 

He then did gigant in 2017, but through all that kinky sexual shyt, he never did depict blatant r4pe like what he did in gantz at all. Actually, kudos for him for actually depicting AV actresses in a humanizing way. Chiho has so much going on as a character. 

And recently he did thunder 3. Which was a huge shift ngl.

So a current moral standard is not liking rape themes in something I’m reading? Are you fucking retarded?😂

u/Expert-Love5116 20d ago

Well, if you want to be shallow about it. I'm obviously referring to how it's genuinely not even taken seriously before. But your ad hominem is an expected reaction for someone with not enough mental fortitude.

u/Expert-Love5116 20d ago

Let me guess, it's not uncommon for you to end up in stupid scenarios because of assumptions?

u/jinkhanzakim 20d ago

Yes but not because of asumptions.

Not really, i love the history but this pathetic excuses people do just to make It like IS more "profound" of what It really IS kills me. Most of the nudity on this series IS not necesary and some secondary characters are straight Up edgy caricatures. That being said, if you ignore that, i still liked It a lot ..

u/Filthy-Pirate-6342 20d ago

Didn't Oku said that he just likes to draw naked women? Also that "sex sells", nothing new under the earth

u/jinkhanzakim 20d ago

No idea, the least i know about It the better...

u/AzzidBuddy 20d ago

Alright thanks for your insight! I’ll keep reading I guess, we’ll see how it goes

u/Penwen1001 19d ago

Honestly, I'm mixed in the comments here. Ive read the series about 4 times over several years. It's definitely sketchy in the first half of the series. But while the concept of over sexualization doesn't really go away, it definitely tones down a bit in the second half. Still a lot of nudity and gore tho.

On a separate note, I do think it's a great representation of just how shitty guys can really be when they think they can get something.

u/nice-_one 20d ago

Even though it's really edgy at times I still found it peak. The MC by the end of the series becomes the goat

u/thebiggesthypocrite- 20d ago

I get what you mean bro, but it's a product of its time and it's ALSO there to ask the morale of characters. Do they need to rape ppl to show how morally grey people are? No, not at all actually. But I do still think it's useful in bringing how twisted everything is.

u/Rakalex 20d ago

Unfortunately it doesn’t stop. Almost a perfect manga otherwise imo

u/AzzidBuddy 20d ago

Do I stick it out? I’m really am conflicted on it

u/Bermuda_Mongrel 20d ago

Shorty alien arc is gonna make you love it because that is a stepping stone of Kurono's character development

u/Lokplus 14d ago

I started it a few days ago and was really conflicted about this. I'm on chapter 109 and I'm loving it now, you kinda just get used to the manga's more questionable parts, it's a part of what makes gantz gantz.
