Fitting death for the creepy psycho gun otaku guy.

Kei-chan gets the crazest ideas.

Aw, and just when I was starting to like the freaky stalker chick and the 'homo'. hahaha, Kei should just do it alone, no one else except maybe the sniper guy are of any use. Especially Katou who is always crying over killing robots.

If Kei dies, the show dies.

Hmm - is it weird that I was more shocked to see poor doggy die than when the granny and the boy were killed? Guess because it came so totally unexpected.

Agree. He's even likable when he licks Kishimoto. LOL

That was one crazy idea from Kurono, he turned himself into a bullet and did what was equivalent to a headshot!
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Finally some action. I'm glad they were shooting in this episode instead of just talking about shooting.

Kato sure talks tough for a coward. He's getting on my nerves. Anyway, atleast the action is good.

I beginn to understand why Nishi acted the way he did. Even after several battles Kato is totally useless. Even Kishimoto is outdoing him, and she's not doing much besides clinging to Kato. And the others, the new ones, are even worse. They still didn't put on their sutis or pick up weapons.

Only the sniper guy understood the situation and acted accordingly. Of course, i don't think anyone of us is prepared to handle such a situation, but that there is not a single person who is not only more or less calmy talking about the situation, but acting accordingly..

I would understand if everyone would have lost their mind, going crazy etc, like the 'Otaku' guy after seeing the eyes..but they are not.

I mean, what do you when you find out the enemy is predicting your moves? Make sure that everyone is doing the same thing, liniing up for fire, announcing every move, make sure the enemy can see you doing that..

How about going around it, attacking from different directions at the same time, and from the same direction multiple times, so it can't just do one move to escape? Is Gantz selecting those guys on purpose? Either they are overly aggressive like the bikers, totallly stupid like monk or simply inept like Kato, Kishimoto and co., standing around idly and enjoying Kei saving the day, but rushing off the save bystanders in the last moment in the most stupid way (what about grabbing them, or shooting nearby to make them move. After all, in the end they did move because the floor began to crack.) after watching them walk into danger for minutes.

Not a single police officer, soldier? Heck, every guy playing a team sport like soccer or rugby would do.

With people being this useless, Kei is doing what it takes to survive. And as he's doing all the work, he begins to feel like a hero, for saving everyone etc. Mix this in with his insecurities regarding Kishomoto and his in general not overly fullfilled life and he might indeed end up like Nishi, treating the others like shit because they are a greater threat to his survival than the aliens.

Of course he is not without fault, he should try to discussion the situation with Kato etc., but the way they are doing things right now..

Stil, they cut down on the talking and shoot more, so there might be hope.

Karate man is indeed funny. Looks like Gantz doesn't call japanese people only.

Oh well this episode was really badass especially that part where Kei goes into that statues's mouth and kills it.

I don't think Kei likes that tall woman and is using her to make kishimoto jealous but I still don't get what's so special about that big boobs dumb bitch that keeps telling everybody to do something while she doesn't do shit.

And lastly, Sadako "the stalker" is surprisingly the cutest girl of this show.

I knew he was going to die because this was the only mission where he actually stayed.

Otaku guy was getting really annoying. Good for Buddha.

What the helllll 0-0 Gantz opened his eyes.

Sob. Dog. The only great character in this show and he got the lamest death. "Oh look, that one killed Dog. Oh well, but look over here, another statue." WTF Dog was supposed to make it through the whole show.

Kato and Kishimoto are the wimpiest characters in this entire series. They are only talk and no action. I don't know what Kei saw in that big breasted broad Kishimoto, the tall girl is better (and hotter).

The dog's death is the worst so far. That weird judo/karate American yelling 'FUCK YOU!" made me laugh so hard. It was so bad.

His homeroom teacher is having an affair LOL another filler to add more unnecessary drama.

Sadako, the stalker girl is fucking cute. Even cuter than Kishimoto.

I hate Kurono but he was the most badass character in this episode. Everyone else sucked and thank fucking god that military otaku fatass died.

That sniper dude is the best character I've seen in this show. He gets the job done without talking nonsense. I hope he survives.
I'm sad that the dog died. I was hoping he would stay safe and survive all the time.
Sadako is a cutie! What a surprise.
Kei has become the 2nd best character if he keeps up his berserk state and quick thinking.
