「ＧＡＮＴＺ：Ｏ」
Check out this new clip for upcoming 3DCD animated film 「ＧＡＮＴＺ：Ｏ」 (since my last feature on #iNotOtaku!), with an October 14th release date. 「ＧＡＮＴＺ：Ｏ」 is an adaptation of the "Osaka Edition" of the GANTZ Manga from Oku Hiroya. Check out their official website at gantzo.jp.
STORY OF GANTZ: "Somewhere in Tokyo, there is a room. In that room is a black sphere. Periodically, people who should otherwise have died are transferred to the room. There, the sphere gives them special suits and weapons, and sends them out on a mission to kill aliens here on Earth. While these missions take place, the rest of the world is largely oblivious to them. These missions are lethal--few participants survive them. The sphere calls the shots, and it's not the slightest bit nice. Its name... Gantz." mangafox.me)
WHAT IS GANTZ: "Gantz (Japanese: ガンツ Hepburn: Gantsu?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiroya Oku. Gantz tells the story of Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, both whom died in a train accident and become part of a semi-posthumous "game" in which they and several other recently deceased people are forced to hunt down and kill aliens armed with a handful of futuristic items, equipment, and weaponry. Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence and sexual content.
The Gantz anime adaptation, directed by Ichiro Itano and animated by Gonzo, contains 26 episodes divided into two seasons. A series of two live action movies based on the manga were produced and released in January–April 2011." (Wiki)
