I just caught up in Gantz. The only good part was them finding an answering machine for all the questions they had. Time to watch everyone die, I hope. And I hope they somehow find real Kurono and drag him there to die for saving Tae.

The last chapter and this one somehow managed to make me both really happy and really worried about the way the series is going. On the plus side, Sebastian is back! Kind of. He's not really funny or even particularly scary anymore, just weird. I like the sort of H. P. Lovecraft-style thing that is going on here, with humans being nothing special in the grand course of things, at least not as far as the other sapient species in the galaxy are concerned. I'm also glad we finally know who or what was beaming the information to the Germans so they could build all the wonderful toys we've grown to love.
On the other hand, while I love the concept, the execution is lacking. Why would Sebastian bother answer the humans' questions at all, when they're supposedly so far beneath him? If humans are as worthless as ants, or even dust, why is he bothering to talk to them, explain things to them, and make them feel bad? Why doesn't he give this speech to the ants, too, since they're of equal value? Take the Cthulhu Mythos for example. Cthulhu doesn't explain itself to humans: it just eats them, and any psychic messages it sends them while sleeping are either accidental side effects of its power or tools of manipulation used to make the stupid humans free it sooner.
Also, how does Sebastian know there is no God? Isn't one of the biggest things about God that you can't prove for sure either that He does or does not exist? The only way for Sebastian to know that the universe is devoid of deities would be if he possessed omnipotence, which would kinda-sorta make him god. Meaning there would be a god, and that would be him.
What I find most aggravating and confusing is that Sebastian's race sent military data to Earth (specifically to one girl in Germany) at all. Once they fought off all of the aliens that were invading their own planet, why should they give a shit if those aliens invade Earth? The most powerful species there is the human race, which they now claim they don't care about. So why go to the effort of helping the lowly humans at all? Vengeance against the invaders? That wouldn't explain why they're talking to the humans now, and these aliens don't seem like the kind to care about vengeance anyway, being enlightened, higher life forms or whatever.
So, yeah. I like the fact that the plot details relating to Sebastian and the reporter are becoming important again, and I like the nifty shape-changing alien design, but as for the answers we're getting...they seem pretty lousy so far. Hopefully it'll turn out that Sebastian is once again not telling us the whole truth, and we'll find out some stuff later that will make this whole thing seem like a brilliant exercise in storytelling instead of a train wreck.
EDIT: And what's up with the guy inside each Gantz ball apparently being a clone of some random human who supposedly doesn't matter? Who are these people a clone of? Literally just some person selected by the aliens at random? Oh! And how did the German businessman turn the Gantz program into a game/reality TV show if he doesn't understand how the Gantz balls work or how to control them, as I believe it was previously established? Did he decided on the whole "points" thing? Plot holes upon plot holes...
