Plot:
The battles continue as Kei and other members still reside in the "in-between" world of GANTZ. Determined to resurrect friends who have died in battle, Kei and other members trapped in the "in-between" world of GANTZ are aiming to score the 100 points needed to break through. An emergence of a mysterious investigator, however, complicates the situation further. The battle continues on as the two dimensions start to merge together. Some fight for love, and others fight for justice. At the end, who will sacrifice the most?

I did enjoy this film but found myself a tad confused. The first film Gantz followed the anime but this film departs from that path, it is possible that this film follows the manga but not having read that I cannot comment. We are introduced to a new lady with a black ball and an investigator who both have an impact on the Gantz participants. There is a new level of conflict between Gantz and the aliens leading to a conclusion which I'll admit I was not really expecting.

Rating: I enjoyed this for a 3

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. For some reason it is always fun when a main character, one that is always on the side of good, goes bad.... even if it is just for an episode. While "Evil Tina" was right mean pretty much the whole time.... she was even hotter then she normally is.

My Rating:
