| wow this anime is quite deep, too hard for me to understand |
| I remember Decim making a mistake the last time I watched this. We definitely knew that the wife was reflecting and guilty but the husband didn't even trust her. What a laugh. pretty intense episode tho, it is always nice to see another perspective |

| This recap kinda left me with mixed feelings about the episode, im not sure If I liked the episode overall that much, maybe here was some interesting information here and there but overall not a very great episode |
| I was completely tricked by the last ep Seems I'm was with Decim on this one |
| Let down compared to ova, even 1st ep. I really hope someone would pick out the system's flaws. |
 |
| Nice insight of what was going on "behind the screen" And great explanation of players thinking and acts. I love this show so far |
 |
| Uhh, everyone's horrible in some way, and people don't intentionally turn out the way they do. The arbiters are authoritarian. Their self-righteousness is repulsive. The most ethical resolution would making it be the dead soul's choice where they go, reincarnation or the void, regardless of their sins. I figure a number would just be tired and actually choose an eternal rest in the void. I'd love to see this judgement system turned on its head over time. |

| Decim acts like he made a mistake in something like insurance adjusting, but he sent that woman to the "void" and thinks it was a mistakes minutes later. Isn't that pretty bad!? |
| Well yeah machiko did regret it but cheating is still a cheating, maybe someone can forgive if his/her partner for cheating on them but i really can't forgive if it happened to me, it was like a dead flag sign for me, i rather be alone then be with someone who already cheat on me, i can't say that man is right but having a problem with trusting people is really a complicated thing |
| Guess I was right on the first episode thread when I said she hadn't actually cheated and the child was his, unlike the other comments there. I should learn not to be influenced by thoughtless opinions more. |

Stuff I wrote for myself when rewatching, thought I'll share anyway in case it might help others clear things up.
Ep 1 & 2
In order to rid of his guilt, Takashi accused Machiko that the child isn’t his because he mistrusted her and eventually killed all three of them as a result. All were his wrong doing.
We are shown a flashback of Machiko in bed with someone else when she confessed. Decim is surprised by this revelation that Machiko is in love with someone else and the baby isn’t Takashi’s, and took that at face value.
Machiko enter the void (hell) with lift with Oni mask and Takashi reincarnates (heaven) lift with white slightly smiling mask.
Decim respect for ppl that lived fulfilled life (Machiko) because she was happy till her death and still tried preserved her love for takashi by trying to make him happy/less sad. He apologized for his misjudgement on Machiko. Decim asked why Machiko actions were incomprehensible and that once dead nothing mattered, Onna explained that it’s love and Machiko tried to preserve it especially after they died because they were going to part ways forever.
Thoughts:
Nona proves to be powerful. Decim proves to be flawed despite his mechanical body language. Onna proves to be insightful despite her “innocence” and naiveté.
Questions:
Places in the purgatory: multiple floors and outside heaven? Arbiters, and who are they? Who is Nona? Onna clearly not an arbiter because of her eyes. Mannequins & the one in the ending? Nona’s book containing the two children.
General world:
Hindu/Buddist statue at the entrance to the lift. The lift then brings to a selected bar.
The game makes no difference to whether they live or not. It’s only used as a tool to test their personality and for the arbiter to pass judgement on the participants. When their life is on the line their darkest nature comes out, by triggering the most primitive emotion of fear. Judgement is passed based on participants’ memories and humanity displayed in the game.
Arbiter takes in all info at the beginning.

| @PoLoBreak You have it backwards Machiko was sent to the Void, but she went into the Smiling Mask Takashi was sent to Reincarnate, but he went into the Oni Mask https://i.imgur.com/pyj2B3w.jpg |

| After watching 2 episodes I'm already sold on the premise. OP and ED are absolute heat + the character designs are nice. Decim was left to make a tough call with this couple. Not really sure what the proper read was other than Nona probably being right about the dude's issues. Love how they drop Onna into a pretty brutal first impression of what the arbiters actually do. Looking forward to more good backtracks and interesting plot twists |
| A nice behind the scenes episode, the one thing that made me disappointed. though was that girl saying "it could have been a one time thing" even if its a one time thing its still cheating and to many thats a unforgivable act. |
 |
| the aesthetic is so grimly gratifying and the dynamic between the 3 of them is just the perfect equilateral triangle |
| Not as good as ep. 1, personally hated the fact that the new girl goes and says his judgement was wrong and that since she felt remorse/ it was a one-time thing that makes the cheating okay, it still destroyed the man (mind you I'm not saying he was a Saint, he clearly had extreme trust issues himself and would've needed to work on that heavily had he not died) so personally as cool as the concept is I think ep. 2 did a poor job of "justifying"/ trying to make us feel sorry for the lass. |
| pretty much an expected "twist" if it even be called that.The anime went lengths trying to absolve wifey of doing the deed through one liner counters mixed in with positive reinforcement and the nauseous attitude of hubby.But can i blame him ? Do indefensibleness against being rolled over by a mischevious woman count as a good man ? If she was distraught and seeking forgiveness she would have come clean long ago rather paint a mirage of happy marriage .Leads me to beileve the final confession was for absolvement from the sin than anything else |
