a) There are two sides to life, one of which is rarely explored by cultures affected by the influence of the "West" and along with it Christianity. Namely, people create the notion that humans are above animals, closer to god, elevating us above the grotesque notion of death.
b) The grotesque is considered by westernized influence to be an undesirable portion of life that is better left ignored, you have most likely had many interactions making this clear throughout your lifetime. Therefore, most forms of art play to the masses' love, for, well... love. Things that are absolute in nature, that do not fade or end. Obviously this notion rejects the many beautiful insights that can come from realization of mortality. Critically rejecting the notion of the natural "grotesqueness" of life, such art does not reflect the notion of impermanence in any intrinsically profound way.
c) Gantz succeeds in showing you the "grotesque" in an emotionally stirring way, as is the aim of all art forms.
d) Watch Gantz.
