Ok i promised I wouldn't make any topics I know but this has just hit my mind. I was thinking about how the mustache guy downloaded his arms right into the mission and that reminded me so much of the Matrix. It's not the first time we've seen something like this either.
Remember the chibi mission? when Kurono was jumping from building to building? Matrix. Kenso and sakurai stopping bullets? Matrix.
Oku must have really loved the Matrix. I think theres more referances in the manga out there for other fiction but right now I just got the Matrix in my head.

Also, when I saw the vampires for the first time, it reminded me of the agents from the matrix. You know, people in suits that popped out of no where while the main characters were on a mission and tried to kill them?
And there was actually a direct reference to the movie from Sebastian, while he was playing with that reporter's mind. He said: "It could all be a virtual world, like that one movie....what's it called, the one with Keanu Reeves in it..."
Gantz is still a decently original manga, though.

Watch as this topic consists of only posts describing how Gantz is like the Matrix. And I'd have to say Gantz is pretty original with concept and story.

The only thing I can think of is the dino mission being like Jurassic park.
