In these two, death is only the beginning.
Initially average lead characters find themselves confronted with monsters and fight death-matches over and over AND OVER until they become killing machines without fear or doubt. Not even death itself is an escape since characters are revived in Gantz and death results in a never-ending time loop in All You Need Is KIIIIIIIILLLLLLL.
There is no other similar characterisation that I have encountered. There are plenty of survival series out there, for sure, but none where characters grow mentally stronger by dying and gradually abandoning fear. Death being the starting point of both series, rather than an

Both manga are very gory and as the story progresses the main characters get more used to the bloodshed.

Main characters go through countless loops in which they have to fight against aliens who descended upon earth. Both have bad-ass, determined protagonist who does not hesitate to strike down enemies.

Both are set in game-like situations, one where you basically respawn and the other where you fight continuous boss battles yet with lives on the line.
Both bring up love interests with the male protagonist and a cute female.
Both are incredibly brutal and not for the light-hearted.
Both are very enjoyable, only 'All You Need Is Kill' is too short and 'Gantz' is too long ><
The main characters go through loops in which they have to fight against other-worldly beings who landed on earth. Both have amazing protagonists who don't hesitate to strike upon the enemies.
In both series there is a heavy atmosphere of improvement in the protagonists eyes, on if they can not improve, it will ultimately be their downfall in life.
A bit of a warning Gantz is much more bloody and gory than All You Need is Kill. And in my opinion much more story driven than action driven.

How will you live to see to tomorrow? But how much trauma must you suffer first? So are you looking for a manga with about such a situation? Well I suggest you go read one of these.
