Okay I’ve been into UE4 for some time. I wanted to share with you this really awesome video showing you step by step how to animate a scene.
While UE4 is for making games its built in Sequencer could be used to Render and create great looking animations for you. I’ve spoke about this in the past but here is a more in depth tutorial.
If you want to make something that resembles GANTZ I could see combining UE4 for rendering with DAZ and Poser for animation and characters.

Also a really interesting idea is to make a 3d VR anime film. That would be awesome.
