I really liked the Gantz anime. It was crazy, a mind trip, and overall an
enjoyable (if somewhat graphic) show. But I've been told the manga is better,
and goes in a wildly different direction. What episodes in Gantz are based off
the manga plot, and where does the plot truly start to branch?

Note, I'm not looking for minor differences, though bonus points for noting
those. I'm really looking for when the major branching in plot occurs.

Where does the Gantz anime branch off?


The manga and the anime diverge during the anime's last battle. The last
battle in the anime never occurred in the manga. Gonzo needed a way to end the
series and created a weird introspective fight yourself battle. The manga went
on with more battles and more characters, ongoing for a long time, and I guess
Gonzo didn't want the series to just suddenly stop.

I don't remember all of the minor differences, there were some during the
battles, especially the one during the statues, but those still followed the
manga more or less faithfully.
