Gantz English Sub & Dub

About Gantz

If you are hunting for a new action series, Gantz deserves a look (2004). The setup goes like this. In short: Thought your life was bad? Sometimes, death is worse.

Further in, there is no salvation, peace, nor god waiting to receive you into their care. But wait, a god? Maybe you are talking about that big black ball stuck in the room with you. Now you are thrown into a game, fighting green aliens and robot monsters for the chance to survive.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Daisuke Namikawa as Kei Kurono and Hitomi Nabatame as Kei Kishimoto. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
