Gantz
Is a manga and anime series created by Hiroya Oku. Gantz tells the story about a teenager named Kei Kurono who dies in a train accident and becomes part of a semi-posthumous "game" in which he and several other people who have recently died have to hunt down and kill aliens. The Gantz anime ran for 13 episodes and had a direct sequel called Gantz Second Stage, which continued the series for another 13 episodes.
About manga, Gantz is still ongoing, being serialized in Shueisha's Young Jump. Gantz currently has 237 chapters out. The manga is better-received than the anime, and has more content and stories than its counterpart. The manga's art was created by using a technique that combines CG backgrounds with hand-drawn characters, this techique is also used in the Gantz anime counterpart.
Unfortunately, as of chapter 237 Gantz 1st Phase has ended. Gantz is set to start again in Japan with 2nd Phase on November 16th, 2006.
The Gantz anime is divided into two seasons: the first season is known as "The First Stage" and the second season is known as "The Second Stage", which is a direct continuation of the first season. The Gantz anime is often criticised for its ending and pacing problems. The anime was made while the manga was still in early production, and so the anime version had to improvise its own stories and stretch out the pacing (in the hope that more manga volumes would be released by the time the anime caught up to it). Many fans felt that the anime's ending was rushed.
