Plot

Two men, Kurono and his childhood friend Kato, die in a train accident and are given a second chance at life by a mysterious sphere called “Gantz”.

Gantz gives them technological outfits which give them super powers and tasks them with assassinating various dangerous aliens. They earn “points” for successful missions, but the rules of the game keep changing as the risk of permanent death grows.
