Gantz: O

Hav never been a fan of certain Japanese films due to their weird gore n story. Havent read any of their manga. As for the Gantz, without having any exposure to its video game, manga, anime n action films, i was pleasantly surprised n happy to see this movie on a dvd. Imagine the fun on big screen. In one word, Gantz:O is an impressive visual spectacle. The movie is filled with style, awesome action sequences n terrific monster designs. The monsters were good. The editing is top notch n thankfully the hand held cam stuff n quick cut editing is nada n most of the action happens in proper light so you can actually follow what is going on. The characters appeared realistic with their facial expressions n body language. After watching this movie, i have become a fan of the Gantz series n looking forward to its sequels. They hav included one weird scene, a weird old man transforms into a naked woman n then into multiple naked women... after all its a Jap movie.

Honestly the story is actually quite good, obviously it isn't the highlight of the movie. But if it was explored deeper I can imagine it becoming a really amazing story. We all know why you watched the movie though, because of the endless action scenes and stunning visuals. The action scenes are extremely creative without meaning to them, the weapons are inventive and the over the top gore is exhilarating to watch. And the visuals are absolutely the best I've seen on any movie so far. The lightning is dim with focus points that make certain areas stand out. ITS BEAUTIFUL! I don't really care for any of the characters, none of them were that great with the limited character development time but to be fair towards the end there is a certain attachment I felt towards the main characters, I did kind of annoy me how the people had only met that day and already they developed an incredibly strong relationship but whatever. If your looking for something to mindlessly watch, or are just looking to relax...watch this.

As with other reviewers here I came across this little gem browsing Netflix.

I guess Gantz is pretty big in Japan for them to be able to make something this amazing. The animation and overall design quality is simply incredible.

Any mature anime fan will love this regardless of knowing the backstory.

The main reason I'm "reviewing" this title is because I see many people complaining about the laughable dialogue. To circumvent this, watch it in it's original Japanese language with subtitles!

Honestly, so far this is the best Gantz in screen representation. A great comeback to fix the reputation of Gantz. Far better than 2 Live Action Movies that we've got.

If you are new to Gantz, this will be your animated movie that had thrill, action, noir and horror in balanced setup. Even if you confused of what Gantz and Tokyo team used to be, you still can enjoy the game. Even they skip in (almost) last battle, there are still explanation what this game is all about. Its just complete menu i say.

For animated movie, the colors, graphs, movement, detail, expression and gesture is almost perfect. You can compare it with latest Final Fantasy movie.

I hope they don't stop in this movie. I hope Kurono's run is following after this. Last word, Hold your breath deeply :)

Most animé have great great combat scenes, maybe even great visuals due to excellent CGI and maybe some great scenes and story flow... but what is usually lacking is the dialogue, which tends to be lazy and feels like an after-thought.

Gantz:0 had the potential to be an excellent movie, but just like other animé with amazing CGI - it fell flat, over and rolled over into laughing zone. One of the girls just sounds like a mental basket - not sure what they were trying to accomplish with her character.

Overall I liked it... definitely not the best, but the animation alone, combat scenes, story-boarding was excellent.
