# Where to Watch Gantz

**Gantz streams on Crunchyroll and Netflix, and it's a notorious, ultra-violent sci-fi survival thriller that pulls no punches.

## Synopsis

When Kei Kurono dies, he doesn't find peace — he wakes in a bare room dominated by an enormous black sphere that presses a weapon into his hands and forces him into a deadly contest. Alongside other recently deceased strangers, he's ordered to hunt down strange and dangerous alien creatures with no explanation and no mercy. Survival earns him nothing but the chance to be thrown back in again, and the real horror isn't always the monsters — it's what desperation does to the people beside him.
