Netflix in the US is going to stream "Gantz:O." The anime science fiction film is based on the manga series "Gantz" and was released in Japan in 2016.
According to Anime News Network, the plot summary says that somewhere in Tokyo is a room with a black sphere, and periodically, people who should have already died are transferred to this room. This sphere gives them special suits and weapons and sends them out on a mission to kill aliens on Earth.
The rest of the world is largely oblivious to these missions, and these missions are lethal, but a few participants survive. The name of this black orb is the Gantz. The people who are recently revived are given high-tech weapons, and they must cooperate to defeat an army of monsters in Tokyo and Osaka, Crunchyroll said.
"Gantz:O" first premiered at the 73rd Venice Film Festival. The film also featured a special program at the 29th Tokyo International Film Festival from October 25 to November 3 last year. The film is a box office hit, opening in 153 locations and ranked at #6 at the Japanese box office in its opening weekend. On October 30, the film has grossed a total of over ¥246 million.
The Netflix streaming will have subtitles in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese. The English dub cast includes Austin Chase as Ayumu; Bryce Papenbrook as Kimura; Cherami Leigh as the Gantz Ball; Steve Heiser as Shimaki; Cristina Vee as Yamasaki; Doug Erholtz as Oka; Taylor Henry as Demon Nurari; Josiah Wills as Nurarihyon.
