[Discuss] A modern anime-adaptation would make Gantz EASILY anime of the season + a video game would be pure hype
Hey,
I just searched for this subreddit because I'm having a sudden burst of "Gantz-depression" aka wishing the whole manga would get an anime adaptation. It keeps happening to me :/
I truly believe that if Gantz were to be remade with modern animation (see Solo Leveling or JJK), it would easily be the most hyped anime of whichever season it aired. Back when the original anime aired, it was kinda niche, admittedly. But with how shit and generic modern anime have gotten, an anime like Gantz where bad things are allowed to happen, where actions and events have long-lasting consequences, people would flock to that. For similar reasons they're flocking to Mushoku Tensei, because it's not sanitized to hell.
On a similar level, I feel like we should have gotten a Gantz-video game a long time ago. I'm not usually into multiplayer-games, but the premise of Gantz really lends itself PERFECTLY to a Monster Hunter-style game. Just let it be more than 4 players per team, make movement a bigger focus, and it'd be sooo cool. Imagine all the customization options. And how fun it'd be to do super-jumps or run like the flash or block giant enemies' attacks, all while having to watch your Gantz suit's gauge. I feel like gamers were robbed of one of the greatest multiplayer games here.
Anyway, I saw the thread about Oku Hiroya desiring more Gantz-anime, so that will be my hopium for the future. Thank you.
