The official website for the 73rd Venice Film Festival announced on Thursday that the GANTZ:O “full 3D CG” anime film will screen at the event out of competition.
The manga inspired a television anime series animated by Gonzo (and released by ADV Films in North America) and two live-action films (released by NEW PEOPLE Entertainment).
Other Japanese films that will screen at the event include: Tai Kato’s The Ondekoza, Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, and Kei Ishikawa’s Gukoroku.
The GANTZ:O film depicts the Osaka arc in which the Tokyo and Osaka mission teams take on the subjugation of the Yōkai Army.
