Yesterday we went to the movies Gantz and Gantz: Perfect Answer. These are truly the highlights of Camera Japan festival of this year. The movies are packed with lots of action and eyecandy.
Gantz is a live action movie adapted from the manga. I haven't read the manga but I've seen the anime. In the anime the main character Kei is really girl-crazy :D but that has been totally toned down to a very low level in the movies. The first movie follows the story where the anime starts. In really short: two guys died at a train accident and wakes up in a room with a black ball 'Gantz'. Gantz orders them to kill aliens and score points. If they get killed by an alien they will die, for real. I bet the manga explains more and have more details, but the movies are well made to stand on their own. Both main actors Kazunari Ninomiya and Ken'ichi Matsuyama return as castmembers for the second movie.
Gantz: Perfect Answer starts where the anime has ended so that was all new for me. It was totally awesome and contained more action scenes. First all the alien killings happened in another dimension of Tokyo. But this time regular people can see them. The threat of aliens entering the room of Gantz is getting higher now. The train scene was really great to see with horror aliens who won't just die. There is even a battle between two Ken'ichi's!
So if you haven't seen these movies, go!!
