Kurono Kei and his ex-elementary school classmate, Kato Masaru have survived the first two ordeals that the unknown black sphere Gantz has sent them through. Exploding body parts, struggling to stay alive till the last seconds and seeing your fellow comrades fall in a pile of blood and gore are norm to them now. They are aware now that Gantz can call them up along with any new deeds, at any time for another confrontation with aliens.
Will Kato's experiences in the Gantz world give him the same courage in the real world? With fellow veteran Gantzer Kei Kishimoto currently staying at Kurono's home as his "adopted pet", can Kurono stave off his growing lust for her mammaries?

Where it came from
Gantz: Second Stage was produced by studio GONZO and released in 2004 as a direct continuation of the first anime adaptation of Hiroya Oku's manga series. The series was born out of the popularity of the source material's dark, hyper-violent science fiction premise, which follows individuals forced to participate in a deadly game involving mysterious alien targets. The animation direction sought to maintain the gritty, unsettling atmosphere of the manga while navigating the technical limitations of 2004-era digital compositing.
The production is notable for diverging from the source material toward the end of its run due to the anime catching up to the ongoing manga serialization. This necessitated an original concluding narrative arc, a common practice for anime adaptations of the era. While the series garnered a dedicated following for its unflinching portrayal of survival and human nature, the shift to an original ending met with mixed reactions from fans who were invested in the canonical progression of the manga's complex mystery.
