Gantz: O

Gantz is one of my favourites ( or probably my favourite) manga ever. I've following Hiroya Oku ( the guy who created Gantz) work for years. When i knew about a new Gantz Film coming this year I was very excited but, at the same time, I didn't think that we could watch this film on theatres in Argentina. Well I was wrong, we could due anifest Latin America. What can I say about Gantz O? The animation is AMAZING. The best that i've seen for a long time. The fights, superb . Oka , "George" and Nobuo , members of the sadistic and cool Osaka team, have the best fights of the movie. The music fits really well. The Osaka mission is know as one of the best of the manga and it was a really clever choice to pick it up and make a movie about it. About Kato, he is the hero in this movie and you'll end loving him. And the aliens... they're bizarre, scary and really violent. Just like in the manga. To sum up, if you have the opportunity, watch it. Yeah, there're some missing characters, but this movie was so good, so entertaining, that you will forget that in seconds.

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.

Found this hidden gem scrolling Netflix, and was really impressed. Never heard of Gantz, but was left wanting more!

I was surfing Netflix and came across this title and decided to watch it because the stills looked good and it had a good rating. Should have read the reviews...

The CGI is absolutely incredible, I'm honestly blown away. The industry has always had trouble getting humans right, but that being said the work in this one is just... photo-realistic level. The monsters are absolutely bizarre (reminds me of RIPD a little), beautifully rendered, but bizarre designs. The combat is pretty well done, although they really should have done more of it. And let's not forget the jiggly boobs, because what is anime without them am I right?

Aaannnd that's just about all the good I have to say about it. The plot is inexplicable without the backstory that I'm oblivious to, and the dialogue is atrociously bad. Still a better love story than Twilight.

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.
