Synopsis

When highschool student Kurono Kei meets up with his childhood friend Masaru Katou at a subway station, their lives take a drastic turn. They both cooperate to save a homeless man who falls onto the tracks, but get run over by the train in the process. Moments later, they appear in an apartment filled with several other people, and a giant black ball in the center of the room. The black ball lights up and informs them that they are now completely under its control. It tells them to go and kill a certain humanoid creature, then it provides them with an arsenal of futuristic weapons, armor, and equipment; and teleports them outside the apartment to a certain alleyway in Tokyo. The people are soon forced to fight for their lives against the creature, each other, and an unexpected visitor. Those who survive are allowed to go free, but they soon discover that it will not be so easy, as the black ball still has control of their fates, and it likes to play games. (Source: ANN)

NOTE: This review is intended to cover Gantz in its entirety.

Gantz is about as close as you’ll ever get to a love it or hate it anime. It’s littered with so much gore, profanity, nudity, and sex that it’ll either immediately turn you off or immediately glue your eyes to the screen. Being a person from the latter group I have to say I absolutely loved Gantz right from the start. Well, okay, not exactly right from the start. Gantz starts out in the life of Kei Kurono, an angst ridden teenager who has nothing better to do but think negatively to himself and get read more

Sometimes death is not the end. There is no salvation, no peace, and no rest. Instead, what you get is a big black ball in the middle of an empty apartment room making a mockery out of your death and playing with your life.

This is the essence of Gantz. It is a giant game of Simon Says where Simon is cruel and heartless, and he does not "say" what he wants you do to--he demands that you do it.

Immediately, Gantz is the type of anime that will turn a viewer off or completely absorb and fascinate them. It follows Kurono Kei, a young teenage slacker read more

Recommendations

Both of these anime have lots of over-the-top action, blood, and boobies. Lol. They push the limits of censorship, animation, and your imagination.
Both contain a plot driven by death among the main characters.
