| As Kato struggles to maintain control, Kishimoto realises 
                    that with her new body comes a new hope. Unfortunately, before 
                    she can act on those options, the second game begins. As a 
                    new group of players is initiated into the world of the sphere, 
                    the survivors of the first game are confronted with an entirely 
                    different breed of opponent... one that's smarter, more aggressive 
                    and more organised... and that's before the real game even 
                    starts...
 In 
                    episode 13 (Please Die) Kurono stumbles into a room 
                    where the final boss alien is hiding out. For some reason 
                    the Suzuki 
                    aliens surround Kurono and treat him like a friend, that is 
                    until he accidentally steps on one of the little chicks that 
                    is wandering around. Suddenly the aliens turn nasty, and the 
                    boss alien suddenly notices the intruder. Kurono opens fire, 
                    which results in the building collapsing and saving him from 
                    certain doom. While Kurono managed to escape, so does the 
                    boss alien - who picks up Kurono and soars high into the sky. 
                    With time running out for them to complete the "game", 
                    how can Kurono kill the last boss in time? 
                      
                    Goodbye sees everyone returned to the real world after 
                    a successful mission - that is all those that survived. After 
                    a failed attempt at talking Kato into allowing her to return 
                    home with him, Kishimoto goes back to Kurono's house. Returning 
                    to school, Kurono starts to daydream about Kishimoto - getting 
                    an erection in the process much to his embarrassment and the 
                    classes amusement. Meanwhile, Kishimoto is hanging around 
                    a book shop when she spots a beautiful girl called Sei Sakuraoka. 
                    Kato 
                    returns home to find his aunt mistreating his younger brother, 
                    Ayuma. After a confrontation Kato and his brother are kicked 
                    out. But Kato was prepared for this and has already found 
                    a flat to rent. Back at Kurono's flat, Kishimoto is still 
                    clueless as to why her and Kurono keep falling out. After 
                    another night of arguing she decides to leave. 
                     In 
                    I Wanna Be There Now, Kurono regrets arguing with Kishimoto. 
                    Before long everyone is transported back into the Gantz room. 
                    However, this time there is another bunch of strangers awaiting 
                    their fate. Amongst the newcomers is Sakuraoka, the girl that 
                    Kishimoto saw, earlier and a loud mouthed Buddhist priest 
                     
                    who explains to everyone that they are in limbo, waiting to 
                    find out if they will be going to Heaven or Hell. Trying to 
                    stay out of Kishimoto's way, Kurono heads out into the hall. 
                    Sakuraoka follows him and the two start to chat. Kurono brazenly 
                    asks her if she will have sex with him. Although surprised, 
                    she agrees. While they are in the middle of making love Kishimoto 
                    walks in on them. 
                     I 
                    Will Do It sees the priest convinces the new gamers that 
                    Kato is a demon, but then they are all transported into the 
                    next game. Outside a Buddhist temple, the tracking device 
                    tells them that their prey is inside. Someone asks whether 
                    the two large statues outside the temple are aliens and so 
                    they scan them and discover that they display life signs. 
                    But before anyone one can do anything, they both come to life. As 
                    with previous episode titles in this series, the episodes 
                    go under different titles depending whether you follow the 
                    literal translations or the America retitling. So, as before, 
                    I've gone for the titles on the press release (which should 
                    be how they will appear on the back of the DVD sleeves when 
                    they are eventually released to buy). Extras 
                    include interview with creator Hiroya Oku and actress Chiaki 
                    Kuriyama; interview with director Ichiro Itano and CG director 
                    Yashurio Kato; clean opening and closing titles; trailer for 
                    the Gantz console game; and trailers for other anime 
                    DVD releases. Although I seriously suggest that you wait until 
                    all of the DVDs have been released before you watch the interview 
                    with Hiroya Oku and Chiaki Kuriyama. There is a major plot 
                    development spoilt for those that haven't already read the 
                    original comic. Another 
                    impressive collection.
