The cast of the upcoming Gantz live action movie has been confirmed, as has the fact that Kei’s infamous nude materialisation scene will be featuring, played by actress Natsuna Watanabe:
The scene from the manga:
For reasons unknown she has been made a 21-year-old “OL” rather than a schoolgirl as in the manga.
Pretty sad that so many people are praising this shit, despite the fact that it appears to be the equivalent of those shitty Hollywood adaptations of video games.
Oh holy cow, how did I miss this post when it came out? Nishi looks fantastic. All the choices seem quite good, really. I'm naturally skeptical about live action stuff, but I've really got my fingers crossed for this one - if nothing else, it can't be faulted for crappy casting.
just like a black hawk trooper,s of the darkside and the light
the black,s think it,s about them and indens
we dont wont to nore the u,s,a or the e,u
hower bisnessis see you at the gt street car show,s in japan

Yeah man he really looks the part.I hope they don't try and change much;They already revealed Tae's actress and she shouldn't be present until after everyone gets raped by those temple idols.
omfg why must they ruin my image of kei kishimoto and replace it with a real digusting girl omfg couldn't they just leave her like the way she is :/ and just create a new sequel to the manga in anime version?
I've never been a fan of Tae so I'm fine with them making her cuter for the movie.
For once, 3D > 2D.
Too bad they probably won't make it to the yokai aliens for a few movies (if they even make that many). I really want to see the scenes where Nurarihyon becomes a giant naked woman made out of other naked women in live action.
Awesome cast line up, they have some distant resembles to the series..Also, Ninomiya from Arashi was better fit for Kei? I just don't see it but whatever. Looks somewhat promising.
I don't know in the Manga and Anime they show woman having huge breast like pornstars then they have the live action version where women are looking like Japanese teen magazines cutest chicks.
OMG OMG!!! Tae is obviously beautificated (I know this is not an actual word, no need to bash me over this) by letting Yoshitaka Yuriko casting it. She is my favorite actress at the moment :D Looking forward to it.
Ah well, with the freaking transformers destroying the world in the manga currently I just don't have the interest I used to have for the series anymore to be honest.
It's gotten way to preachy and religious now. Wonder if the live action movie will do the same..
OMG i cannot wait!!! Gantz is by far my favorite anime/manga series. Ive been waiting for a long time for it. i hope the production quality is good, its too good for them not to UP the budget. Cant wait to see how well they do on it. GANTZ FTW!!!
I watched the anime, loved it til the end, was so confused and dissapointed, then I started to read the manga, although the anime is great, the manga is so superior (such a surprise I know) it's too bad they didn't finish the manga first THEN make the anime! Would have been better, although I'm not saying it's shabby ;)
i cant for this. the actors choosen look perfect for their role:) reminds me of the death note adaptation. it was done so well. gantz truly one of the most memorable anime ever:)
Tae is actually going to make it into the movie? She doesn't appear for 10 volumes in the manga, I wonder exactly how this movie is going to adapt the story?
It's nice to see SOME movie makers know how to accurately choose the right actors to fit each their roles.....
If this were made by Hollywood, the main character would be black, there'd be an annoying black guy, and the girl would have a bikini on....and be blonde.
kei needs moar titties.
Kishimoto needs bigger breast :/
They still need to cast the butter dog.
Yay, they fucked Gantz in the ass..
OMG YAY this series was soooooo good and sad... X(
hope it keeps true to original
This might actually be good. Something of a shock really.
And while I love the manga, I loathe the anime series. Can't say why.
the anime is utter crap
Manga = Epic
Wait a minute...Kishimoto...OL...Office Lady? That means the Dog is also going to be in the movie! Yay.
at least they got the characters right. except the boobs arent going to be accurate
NINO AS KEI + I SEE A HAWT WOMAN = A MUST WATCH xD
I can't imagine if they 'Hollywoodlize' it. XD
OMG Why people need to kill Anime !
Why the hell are they smiling? Gantz is no place to smile.
I do recognize it =/
None could catch her essence. She must remain above purity.
nishi is the best!
Where's Angelina Jolie dammit!
she would be perfect as sakuraoka sei (see img below)

ООООООо круто ))) Ганц лайф экшен =*__________*=
This looks great, but the fake panda say me something about a film without money for good FX :(
Pretty sad that so many people are praising this shit, despite the fact that it appears to be the equivalent of those shitty Hollywood adaptations of video games.
looking good as a black hawk trooper were the rest of the girl trooper,s,

The fantasy cast is AWESOME!!!!!!!1
WHERES THE PANDA!!!
Wow the 2chan cast is so good, man I love gantzu, and I hope the live action will turn out to be a decent production worthy of the gantzu world

I will on watch... just to laugh
Shit, every live action studio should just let 2ch handle the cast assignment.
The casting seems pretty fitting this time... I hope this wont fail
I approve of this casting! Especially Kei!
too bad they probably won't include the scene where that guy fucked a reika-lookalike alien
Hah, roles seems very fitting for some :D
The Nishi actor looks spot on!
Yeah man he really looks the part.I hope they don't try and change much;They already revealed Tae's actress and she shouldn't be present until after everyone gets raped by those temple idols.
yeahhh
omfg why must they ruin my image of kei kishimoto and replace it with a real digusting girl omfg couldn't they just leave her like the way she is :/ and just create a new sequel to the manga in anime version?
Oh yes, i am so gonna watch it lolz
I wanna see!
I guess I'm the only one who want to see Tae-chan *_*
That's so cool! Kato and Nishi look fantastic! Can't wait to see this!
so this only includes the first couple volumes right?guess that they wont add in the sex scene
i never had faith in live actions but ill give this a chance
LOL. 3D Tae is so much cuter than the 2D one.
I've never been a fan of Tae so I'm fine with them making her cuter for the movie.
For once, 3D > 2D.
Too bad they probably won't make it to the yokai aliens for a few movies (if they even make that many). I really want to see the scenes where Nurarihyon becomes a giant naked woman made out of other naked women in live action.
The cast could be worse.
The actress still needs breasts with twice that size to match the manga.
Awesome cast line up, they have some distant resembles to the series..Also, Ninomiya from Arashi was better fit for Kei? I just don't see it but whatever. Looks somewhat promising.
So 2ch got most of it right yeah? Pretty good. Or did they listen to 2ch for the casting? LOL.
The manga artist drew a good picture of the hamster that was trying to hide between her legs.
wait normal actors for a gore naked fest?
It means normal actors are fine with blood and tits..... yeah right.
Or there will be no blood and tits.
BOOOH
Demand recast with AV stars
I don't know in the Manga and Anime they show woman having huge breast like pornstars then they have the live action version where women are looking like Japanese teen magazines cutest chicks.
OMG OMG!!! Tae is obviously beautificated (I know this is not an actual word, no need to bash me over this) by letting Yoshitaka Yuriko casting it. She is my favorite actress at the moment :D Looking forward to it.
awesome cast!~
This could be good :) Casting looks decent enough. Hope they don't go cheap on the SFX...
2chan couldn't think of anyone for reika?
Too hot and awesome to be portrayed.
stupid lame shit...
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I' m so watching this now!
"Reasons unknown"
lulz
No scene of the dog licking her cunt?!?!
Ah well, with the freaking transformers destroying the world in the manga currently I just don't have the interest I used to have for the series anymore to be honest.
It's gotten way to preachy and religious now. Wonder if the live action movie will do the same..
Me too...!!
Definitely gonna watch this one
My Heart Goes Doki Doki....
OMG i cannot wait!!! Gantz is by far my favorite anime/manga series. Ive been waiting for a long time for it. i hope the production quality is good, its too good for them not to UP the budget. Cant wait to see how well they do on it. GANTZ FTW!!!

Whatever the name is, whoever they are, just make the heroin more sexy and we are gonna watch.
I'm gonna watch this just because of the aliens in the second row, that old lady alien is hilariously similar to the alien...
That's a fantasy casting done in 2chan, I don't know if you are trolling, really.
Don't bother, he won't read the article or any comments longer than three words.
I can read your ID at least.
You can read his ID at most
What is this ID I don't even...
Looks good, the schoolgirl looks pretty cute...
And as for the reason Kei is not a schoolgirl... Well, look at her in the manga, didn't look like a schoolgirl at all :D
@EyE Let me guess, your understanding of English is a joke?
you're hopeless!... did you read the manga? hahaha! lemme guess! you don't even know who reika is...
read the manga first before making a reaction.
I can't believe no one mention about the panda. LOOK AT IT. This movie is a joke
i cant for this. the actors choosen look perfect for their role:) reminds me of the death note adaptation. it was done so well. gantz truly one of the most memorable anime ever:)
Love Gantz! but its a shame that th manga is almost in the "End"
Pick actors for the role?, I still think they all look the same :c
At first I was sure this was going to be a steaming pile of crap, but the more I see, the better I like it!
Even if they manage to reproduce only 60% of what the original manga and the anime series was all about, this is gonna be one hell of a movie.
well, no photos about the dog (in the anime it is hilarious... dunno if he appears in the manga)
As long as its not an hour (or more) of that faggot crying about pulling the damn trigger.
Thats all the fucking series was...
Lol, yeah lets hope they give them at least some balls to PULL the fucking Trigger.
Oh shit, Nino is Kei? This is going to be awesome.
No kidding... xD I noticed Nino and that woman. She was also in Tokyo DOGS drama. It's just... Very strange to see these two in GANTZ. >_>
finally~!!
another hour of Negi-seijin. You guys are seriously excited about that? -.-
I have hope for this and want such a suit.
Well, acutally I just want the suit....
Who is playing Gantz?
Not bad. It's instant approval for everyone here if the movie is played by Japanese and made by Japanese film makers.
Let's just respect that simple human netizen nature, shall we?
When a movie's whole selling point is nude scenes, I know the movie will just suck. It can do no better but satisfy those looking for boobies.
"Now you have seen my delicious bacon-like insides 'visible man'-style, let's hug!"
gotta say... nice casting job here at least on the basis of appearance alone.
At least this wasn't an action movie featuring Gantz_playboy.
Tae is actually going to make it into the movie? She doesn't appear for 10 volumes in the manga, I wonder exactly how this movie is going to adapt the story?
Nice casting. Ninomiya's a great actor who can pull of Kei's kind of personality, sort of like he did in Letters from Iwo Jima.
That is dumb, Kei's girlfriend is suppose to be pretty homely, why'd they make her so cute.
I'm much more optimistic about live-action Anime adaptations when the movie is actually produced in Japan, by Japanese, using Japanese actors.
Please Hollywood, please take a hint.
the cast looks amazing >_>
wow this really looks good, casting wise i guess. Can't wait.
It's nice to see SOME movie makers know how to accurately choose the right actors to fit each their roles.....
If this were made by Hollywood, the main character would be black, there'd be an annoying black guy, and the girl would have a bikini on....and be blonde.
I'm starting to believe that this is gonna be really decent!
If you haven't read the manga...read it NOW.
Wow, Tae actually looked good for once.
