GANTZ:O

Excellent manga adaptation and more faithful to source material than I expected. Visuals are brilliant, and the action is quite good. Recommended for fans.newcomers will enjoy but not so much since it doesn't explain much, and there's a lot of chapters before this mission.

Out of all the GANTZ film adaptations, GANTZ:O is easily the strongest. Unlike the two live-action movies, this one feels like it actually earns its place in the universe. While it doesn't feature the original crew, it follows a different GANTZ team in Osaka, expanding the world with fresh energy and giving long-time fans some new context. It's not just a rehash, it adds something.

The 3DCG animation is slick and polished, with a stylized, modern aesthetic that leans heavily into action and monster design. It might not be revolutionary visually, but it's definitely high-quality and immersive. The action sequences are intense and chaotic in a way that fits the GANTZ tone, bloody, wild, and unrelenting. There’s less of the existential dread that made the original anime hit so hard, but for a more straightforward action-driven take, it works.

While the characters here aren't as iconic as the anime's main cast, some still manage to stand out, and the film has enough emotional weight to carry the plot. The tone is more about spectacle than introspection, but it has its moments. Also, if you saw this when you were younger, it definitely hits with a bit of nostalgia now, a strange, stylish flashback to a more brutal kind of sci-fi.

It’s not better than the original show, which is in a league of its own, but it’s by far the best movie in the franchise and the only one that feels genuinely worthwhile. If you're into GANTZ and want more of the world with some slick visuals, this is your best bet after the anime.

Sometimes you just want to watch things get fucked up. Insane stuff.

A completely over-the-top, gory, and action-packed movie. While the plot of this movie is not the strongest part of this movie, the action in this movie is so fun to watch.

Excellent movie. Eye gazing graphics and The Boss.

The script exposes a short but well-developed story, a rare virtue in manga adaptations. The graphics are spectacular

"Gantz:O" looks amazing. I have no idea if it's Anime or a Manga or a cartoon or something created by talented aliens but this is eye candy. The story, if there is one, is non-existent. But it doesn't matter because the monsters are unlike anything I've personally ever seen. The characters are thin and annoying but beautiful to incredible (ahem!) proportions. The weapons are inventive and the action is non-stop. The ending is sappy and assumes that you care one iota about what happens to the characters. I didn't. Now bring on more monsters.

>"I have to! Who else will?"

This is the Battle Royale type movie I never knew I wanted. It has really trippy creatures in it and the teams have to keep killing them for survival, and if I am being honest, I am considering picking up the manga so I can know about this world! Why is this on my Halloween list? There are monsters, and they are terrifying.

_Gantz:O_ is a sci-fi video game trip with only one speed, so thank God it's fast!
