No big loss really... After Phase 1 it was all downhill. If it kept going it would just keeping getting worse and it's already at the point where people think that it would be impossible for it to get any worse...

Commando back. It actually ends by 383. Or so he says. I predict Gantz 2 by 2016.
Its not like has written anything good outside of Gantz.
It will be GTO Syndrom all over again. Read it here first.

Oku did a few Gantz spin-offs over the last few years and popular big boys manga like le´ts say Fist of the North Star also got revivals after a decade. Just look @ Dragon Ball and Kenshin! The main reason for my cynicism about a major spin-off/sequel in the near future is due to Oku´s other manga which all sadly sucked and i have lost faith in him as a writer outside his Gantz work. Gantz represents all his world-views and interests according to interviews by him so i can´t see him staying away for too long. The setting brings too many story opportunities and he should license the world out to be frank.
A few years outside the spotlight and the right money will bring him back.
I lastly managed to mostly enjoy Phase 3. It works well as a horror/suspense manga but Tae sadly turned into a carrot on the stick which that sucked. The vampires in Phase 2 are an entirely different can of worms. God were they pointless!
Edit: And it´s "back" after only 2 years and one earlier than predicted.
