Although the main character goes through some form growth during the movie, he just doesn't react realistically despite having the "typical idealistic MC" personality. He tries to use them as a foil for Katou but he fails to realize that a commoner in Osaka city would've served the same purpose. Even with a few characters missing from the original manga (budget saving 101), with the characters present, the director does a poor job at utilizing them well. The supporting characters are just one-dimensional, bland and downright worthless.
GANTZ ENGLISH DUB 3 MOVIE
However, try as you may, the characters in this movie just goes from bad to worse as the story progress. Although the story gets really cheesy and predictable at times, the ending is quite satisfying and all the confusions viewers have throughout the movie more or less gets answered. The pacing is really good and the gregarious eye-candy fight sequences keeps you at the cusp of your chair. Timelines whilst at the same time it feels like it's one continuation timeline. The story, shown from Katou's perspective, is simple yet complex because it feels like the characters are from different Right from the beginning, the viewers alongside the main character, Katou, are thrown right into the meat of the action and are left scrambling trying to figure out what exactly is happening. Gantz:0, a movie covering the Osaka arc in the manga, acts as a new gateway for newcomers and fans of old Gantz franchise to experience the thrill of the survivor game, Gantz, in a new limelight. TL DR: Watch this if you want to witness a bloody survivor game between Aliens vs Resurrected Mortals! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who's never heard of Gantz, but if you want to see the Nurarihyon fight animated, or at the very least have seen some of Gantz and liked it, I say go for it. The trailer had this really strong theme going on, but it was absent from the movie except from the credits, and all the music was pretty much the same "dramatic eleventh hour track".Īnyway, I personally enjoyed the movie, but upon thinking about it for a while, I realized it had some very weak points. I think the most disappointing part of the film was the music. Without spoilers, I'd say that while it wouldn't have had sense in the manga, it makes a perfect fit for the narrative flow of the movie. The new ending is the only change I think affected the movie The story makes some drastic changes from the manga, which by themselves wouldn't make it bad, but together make the Osaka Arc a much simpler and more boring experience (You can feel this in particular during the first half of the movie). The movie clearly tries to introduce newcomers to the Gantz game concept but does so in such an awkward and incomplete way that I'd say it's very hard to understand unless you're at least kind of familiar with the rules.
In conclusion Gantz:O is a film that you simply need to watch if you're a fan of the original work, and even if you aren't, it's worth the watch with a solid story, outstanding graphics and fluid fight scenes.īasically, if you don't know anything about Gantz, I'd say don't bother.
Despite having these restrictions, the changes managed to fit in very smooth with the entire atmosphere of the Osaka arc, which is one of the reasons I give this movie such a high rating. Overall these changes are understandable because this movie is obviously for newcomers as well as fans, and if they had put all the characters in a 96 minute movie Gantz:O would've become a extremely rushed movie. An altertative ending to the Oni alien arc and Osaka arc. Katou's stance in the arc in the original, he has already experienced battles against aliens, but in this movie he's shown to be a newbie, oblivious to the rules and weapons of Gantz.ģ. The absence of several Tokyo and Osaka team members, including some members who had amazing battle scenes in the manga.Ģ. Some of the big changes that came to my attention was,ġ. Were a little disappointing, but to be honest those changes were understandable, and it didn't ruin the experience at all. There are some changes to the characters and storyline which The gore was something that I had worried about since this movie is PG12, but it was very vivid for a PG12 rated film, and personally it was satisfying enough for me. The CGI was consistent and beautiful, the fight scenes were amazing, and the makers stayed true to the storyline to an extent, which is excellent as well. Gantz:O is a CGI adaptation of a manga that was an extremely enjoyable piece of work. Watched it today in Tokyo, did not regret it.
