Hmm...the stories aren't particularly interesting so far.

Maybe if Momo would try to be a little more Grim Reaper instead of Fluffy-cute Reaper... you know, try to be a little more skull and bones-ish, lose the Aria outfit... she wouldn't need to always take a flying cat along with her to tell people "no, she really is a shinigami." Just sayin'.
I don't know karate, but I know karazy

Not bad, I actually like the setting a bit of happiness combined with sadness, really nice so far! Lets see what's next!

Lovely. Really like what Momo has to say. If this anime was longer, an arc with Momo's backstory would be nice.

So glad that guy didn't die. If only for his poor parents given they already lost one child. Simple drama but good. This episode was better than the first.

I actually liked the first story more than the second one, because the relationship of the two main characters was better fleshed out in my opinion. There were also some weird things in this episode that I wasn't exactly fond of (like the piranha part), although I did enjoy some of the more light-hearted moments. I hope they would expand on Momo's character instead of providing only superficial depth; that would make the series more entertaining. This seems unlikely to be honest, but I'm not losing hope.

Btw, how could the red haired girl not see Asano in the beginning, and vice-versa? Were they invisible or something?

I'm glad this isn't all tear-fest and "someone always has to die each ep" kind of show.

Apart from all the "Piranha in the pool" bullshit, this was a good episode.

Momo is a good girl. Though her showing a reaper-ID makes me cringe xD

Hilarious episode to juxtapose the more melancholy first episode, even if it was unintended. Everything from the single tiny nonaggressive pirahna apparently being significant enough to get swimming cancelled to Momo being a shinigami rebel and informing people of unscheduled deaths years into the future. Then again, it's not like swimming classes are all that important. Maybe no one had a net handy.
