Shaman@ Nope, not Berzerker. :-)

Not familiar with this one, but looks interesting.

Ranger14- Hmmm... i'm still trying to figure out why when i hear or read "gantz", i think of Berzerker. What was the actual berzerker's name in that show again? It been so long...

@Shaman, the main character in Bersker's name was Guts, maybe that's why it sounds familiar, they're very similar

hopefully one day hollywood will start taking manga/anime seriously and respect the source material, so many mangas have potential to be a BIG blockbuster movie
