This time, they thought they were ready for anything that Gantz could throw at them. They were wrong. The third horrifying game rips into the resurrectees, decimating their ranks as wave after wave of deadly opponents exact their bloody toll. No one is spared, no one is safe, and for any of the players to survive, one of their number will have to make the ultimate sacrifice. And even then, it may all be for nothing...

The sixth volume in the Gantz collection opens with Big Brother? In this episode the team is still attempting to kill all of the aliens before the time runs out. But with many amongst them already dead, will they be able to kill the remaining statues in time?

Don't Ever Say That Again!: Having barely survived the last mission, Kurono goes back home. But it's not long before he is sucked back into the Gantz room. This time the players include a bookshop clerk, his teacher, and the two kids who have been seen in previous episodes killing tramps. Just why has Gantz brought a number of people that Kurono knows into the new game?

The third, and final episode on this disc is Kurono Alien. Just when Kurono thought it couldn't get any worse, Gantz throws a spanner in the works. Kurono's challenge seems impossible now. To survive he must kill... himself. But, with the other gamers after him, his attempts to stay alive may not be as easy as he thinks.

This is the penultimate volume in the Gantz series - a show which I will be sad to see draw to a close. While there have been a few too many episodes where not much happens, or where the main characters just spend the entire time shouting at each other instead of getting on with their mission, the majority of this show has been enjoyable.

Extras include clean opening and closing credits as well as an interview with cast and crew. However, as this featurette warns viewers that it contains spoilers on the end of the series I didn't watch it.
