'''''Gantz''''' (stylized in [[all caps]]) is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Hiroya Oku]]. It was serialized in [[Shueisha]]'s [[Seinen manga|{{Transliteration|ja|seinen}} manga]] magazine ''[[Weekly Young Jump]]'' from June 2000 to June 2013, with its chapters collected in 37 {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} volumes. It tells the story of Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, both of whom died in a train accident and become part of a semi-posthumous "game" in which they and several other recently deceased people are forced to hunt down and kill [[Extraterrestrial life|aliens]] armed with a handful of futuristic items, equipment, and weaponry.

An [[anime]] television series adaptation, directed by [[Ichiro Itano]] and animated by [[Gonzo (studio)|Gonzo]], was broadcast for 26 episodes, divided into two seasons, in 2004. A [[Gantz (film)|series of two]] [[live-action]] films based on the manga were produced and released in January and April 2011. A CGI anime film, ''[[Gantz: O]]'', was released in 2016.
