Fast forward many years and there is now a CGI film, Gantz: O, on Netflix. Vaguely remembering about that restricted manga wrapped up in plastic I decided to check it out. Man. Was I blown away. I immediately looked up the manga and binge read it through the course of 2 days.
My final thoughts. I loved this manga. It's non-stop entertainment. For those of you who love sci-fi, gladiator-like battles, and bleak helpless scenarios where main and supporting characters actually die, this one is for you. At times gave me a strong "Berserk" feel with the main characters taking on gigantic/powerful foes many times their sizes and strength, struggling for survival and earning victory against the odds.
My only qualm would be the ending arc, felt a bit rushed and left me wanting some more. Regardless, the concept behind the story of this manga is unique and cool/stylish, hopefully we'll get more expanded works into the Gantz universe soon.
