Haha, I know what you mean, but Ito-sensei's style revolves around a mixture of supernatural and sci-fi horror, which does not always work like in this case. Personally I enjoyed the idea of infecting the humans since that added a layer of creepiness, but everything else was too over the top ridiculous. =/
Ok, maybe infecting humans to turn them into a mutant fish hybrid would have been ok, but turning them into a fuel source and all that. No, just no.
This started out good. Mutant/evolved sea creatures suddenly coming onto land and running amuck. A good, new, interesting idea. What would it be like if all sea life suddenly moved onto land and began causing a ruckus? That's a cool, interesting story.
But then it started to go downhill with there suddenly being these machines causing infections so life forms will produce gas to fuel them. It's like, what? And then the gas is actually a living entity from another universe invading our world. What? Why?
It's a shame really. They had a good idea, but they ruined it with a stupid, ridiculous plot. They should have stuck with the main characters trying to survive in this sea-to-land creature infested world. That would have been so much better.
