Supervised by Yasushi Kawamura, the director of the movie, and directed by Hideaki Maekawa, who is known for his work on Ao Oni Ver. 2.0, Gantz:O_VR is the upgraded 3D (binocular) version of the video featured at “Gantz:O - Transfer to the Amazing Video World,” an event held between Sept. 14 and Oct. 23 at Lumine 0.
**★ Can You Survive?**
In Hiroya Oku’s popular manga Gantz, people who are supposed to be dead are coerced into fighting mysterious aliens plaguing Earth. This video brings you the world of the Nurarihyon Alien Arc, in which the Tokyo and Osaka teams engage in a battle for life or death with an army of vicious aliens.
If you have the chance, make sure to drop in one of the VR Theater locations and experience the world of Gantz with an intensity you’ve never seen before!
