"...the groundbreaking show mixes philosophical conceits with nonstop action set pieces..."

"...ultra-violent, nihilistic and addictive..."

This ultra-violent, nihilistic and addictive Japanese animated series has been generating substantial buzz in the anime community and even larger sales figures on the home-video market since it was first released last year. While the series was heavily censored when it first aired on Japanese television, ADV Films has done its best to deliver the uncensored version of each episode, complete with a new English vocal dub that matches the original Japanese scripts. Following a simple, mysterious premise ? a group of recently deceased people are brought together by the bizarre black sphere known only as the Gantz, outfitted with weapons and instructed to dispatch a number of alien terrors or die a second time ? the groundbreaking show mixes philosophical conceits with nonstop action set pieces to provide a unique viewing experience. Make no mistake ? this anime is definitely for adults as sex, gore and profanity are found throughout the series.
