Gantz

The manga "Gantz" has been quite successful in getting me hooked, and I was very curious to see what the live-action version was like. I have to say that the live-action versions of the manga aren't quite what I would have imagined, with Death Note being proof of that, but it can have interesting elements. Since the manga builds on a sci-fi story and gratuitous violence, the nudity here is quite graphic, and I was curious to see how it would be portrayed in the film. It's probably a Japanese A-grade production because this version is incredibly sterile and it's pretty clear from the start that it's definitely not going to be as B-grade as you'd like. Compared to the manga, this is a truly sterile spectacle, even if it wouldn't seem so with some of the bloody explosions. And remember, when you vomit, put your hand in front of your mouth.
