Some of Green Worldz' shocking death scenes are extremely similar to how the Titan manga is portrayed as well, with a few panels shown in succession from the monster's 'ah ha, I see you' moment to the character noticing, to them being viciously eaten. The plot and environment is not similar - but trust me on this one, it is INCREDIBLY similar as far as the mood and feel, the very creepy and scary monsters/gore levels, the protagonist who watched someone die brutally and wants to become stronger to save others, everything. I recommend both!īesides Knights of Sidonia, imo there isn't a single better recommendation out there for Titan than Green Worldz. It is also worth noting that Gantz deals far more with sexual themes than Attack on Titan does, but if this does not bother you, then I strongly feel that if you enjoyed the idea of people fighting monsters they basically know nothing about- and seeing the bloody consequences - then these are the two series for you. In addition, both manga have a great stylistic (and different) art style to them, so if you like your manga looking a bit more on the unique side, I'd try these out. In Gantz, Kei and Katou find themselves dead, but instead of passing on like a normal person, they and other strangers who have died end up being chosen to fight against strange and often terrifying aliens who pose a threat to humanity.īoth series take their cast of characters and make them bear witness to gruesome stuff, but they also share similarities in their character growth, as well as psychological themes and moral dilemmas. The cast of Attack on Titan may seem to be far more likable than that of Gantz, but Gantz makes up for this in the diversity and realistic development of its central players.
In Attack on Titan, the world is turned upside down as horrifying monsters appear and ruthlessly devour people, wrecking society and leaving those who remain alive to decide how to deal with the titans.
Both Gantz and Attack on Titan are action-packed tales chock full of violence, death and moral choices.
