Death does not have to be the end; one can live again, but only through beating the game posed by the black ball called Gantz.
On his way home to celebrate his younger brother's birthday, brave and kind-hearted student named Masaru Katou is stabbed to death. He awakes in a small room with a cityscape view in the heart of Tokyo—and he is not alone. To his surprise, it is not the afterlife, but the waiting room for a high stakes game with their lives on the line. Before he has the chance to process the situation, Masaru is handed a gun and teleported into the center of Osaka to carry out one simple task: eliminate any alien on sight.
Accompanied by the aged Yoshikazu Suzuki, the stunning idol Reika Shimohira, and the cold but experienced Jouichirou Nishi, Masaru must overcome his fears in order to survive the game and return home to his waiting brother.

Where it came from
Gantz:O was released in 2016 as a feature-length 3D computer-animated adaptation of the Osaka story arc from Hiroya Oku's long-running science fiction manga series. Produced by Digital Frontier and directed by Yasushi Kawamura, the film was designed to push the boundaries of high-fidelity motion capture and digital rendering, aiming to replicate the visceral intensity and hyper-detailed character models that defined the source material. It served as a standalone entry intended to showcase the potential of full-scale CGI in capturing the series' grim, high-stakes combat.
The film was well-received by audiences and critics for its technical achievements, specifically its fluid choreography during complex battle sequences and its faithful, gritty interpretation of the manga's monsters. By focusing exclusively on the Osaka mission, the production team sought to deliver a distilled, action-heavy experience that catered to both longtime fans of the series and newcomers unfamiliar with the broader franchise lore. Its release marked a significant moment for Digital Frontier in demonstrating how sophisticated animation techniques could successfully translate dark, mature manga aesthetics into a cinematic format.
