Those who die find themselves brought back to life in a perfectly fit body only to participate in a game. In the game, the participants hunt and kill aliens.

But, Gantz is highly underwhelming in its anime adaptation. If you want to experience it, you’re better off reading the manga instead. Gantz’s manga is truly marvelous.
