Gantz - Thought your life was bad? Sometimes, death is worse. There is no salvation, peace, nor god waiting to receive you into their care. But wait, a god? Maybe you are talking about that big black ball stuck in the room with you. Now you are thrown into a game, fighting green aliens and robot monsters for the chance to survive. When Kei Kurono is killed, he thus finds himself caught in such a game—a test of his skills, morals, and will to survive. His life is not his own; his death is spat and trampled upon over and over again. What happens if he does not listen? God knows. A word of warning: Gantz is not for the faint-hearted, but neither is it as simple as it looks. Gore, rape, and violence is rampant, as are portrayals of greed, violence, and all the ugliness that one sees in society today. ガンツ - 主人公玄野計は地下鉄のホームで小学生時代の親友加藤勝を見かける。正義感の強い加藤は線路上に落ちたホームレスを助けようとするが、助けに入った玄野と共に、進入してきた電車に轢かれ死んでしまう。 次の瞬間、彼らはマンションの一室にいた。そこには、同じ様に死んだはずの人々が集められていた。部屋の中央にある謎の大きな黒い球。彼らは、その「ガンツ」と呼ばれる球に、星人を「やっつける」ように指示され、別の場所へと転送されていく。 謎の物体「ガンツ」に集められた死んだはずの人々は理由もわからないまま、謎の星人と戦わなくてはいけない。
