OP really annoyed me. Repeat usage of character images several times with music the back ground. I swear they used the same image of Dee Ensy Stratmitos in the OP like 3~5 times and several times for every other characters. However, I did like the ending song.

Also, Ai resembles Sakura from the CLAMP franchise (Tsubasa/CardCaptors/etc). Surprised to see this isn't a CLAMP show.

Just picked up this anime randomly...the show doesn't seem that special but I am very curious about what is going on and the plot of the whole show.

I won't be eagerly biting my fingernail for the next episode, but I will definitely check it out. I like the male character, he seems dark and strong..and we can't rule out that he's not a villain of some sort (though I doubt it)

It seems a lot of people who read the manga/novel were disappointed by the anime but as someone who only saw episode 1 I found it pretty amazing. Interesting premise,cute heroine and I like how the story is progressing. I actually like how it isn't as dark as I thought it would be. Can't wait for the next episode.

Looks interesting, will continue watching.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Wow this looks really interesting and I am liking the mood that this anime is giving off. Looking forward to finding out more about this world. And Ai is just precious.

I am loving both the OP and ED song.

Even though it's probably not his real name, I kinda hope the name Hampnie Hambert sticks for the silver haired guy. It's a great name.

how close is this show to the source material? I need to ask because the synopsis definitely sounded really interesting and the setting in the episode is pretty well set up I think, but those character designs and the voice acting are a major turnoff. Both main characters also seem really annoying at this point. I might be judging too early, but what do the fans think?

Wow. What's going on here?

Why did that silver-haired guy kill all the village? And why did they all have guns? Who are Ai's parents really? What actually is a gravekeeper? So many questions. So much fascination. This could be good. This could be very good.

Very True, and this seems to be the case with a lot of anime, not just this one, by reading manga and not having the same thrill with the unknown like we do, they have more to criticize then we do...not that this is a bad thing, but it's something that I've noticed too.

This was a pretty decent first episode that makes you ask all the right questions, that's not bad at all.

I wonder if this will be a very action oriented show.

Very strange anime ... interesting premise, but I'm not sure what's going on. I'm worried this is going to be another Blood-C where it makes no sense whatsoever until the final episode, then everyone dies. Still, I'll keep following it. Not going to give it a rating yet because I really don't know where this is going ...

4/5 for an intriguing first ep.

"...and on Sunday, God abandoned the world."

Beneath the surface soaked by sunlight, is the grim, somber reality. By the duty her village placed upon her, Ai is both grave keeper and grim reaper. Yet this mysterious man who she thought was her missing father denies it so.

It holds promise. There is contrast. (I like contrast) So I hope it can and will deliver. The gravekeeper theme reminds me of Sugar Dark... and makes me regret not having picked up the manga adaptation of this anime's source LNs.

Also, OP by KitaEri. Can't wait to see her character get introduced. :D

Wow, honestly, I am amazed at this series and it's first episode.
The whole atmosphere and setting really impressed me.
Although it may not mean much, I personally like the voice acting as well, although there really were only two characters talking.
The soundtracks were also really good, just like the OP and ED.

I know it's saying a lot, but I felt the first episode was really powerful already, but that's my opinion.

5/5, best summer series I've seen so far, and here I was thinking this season wasn't going that great (not that this series alone could bring it up a lot).

That was a really great first episode!! Haven't read the manga nor LN, and tbh, i thought the anime adaptation of the first episode was great.
This show really does seem to tackle seem really deep topics like the morals of immortality. With all the stuff in the news about prolonging life by creating human telomerase enzymes etc, this kinda shows what could happen (of course, not taking the scientifical route, but the GOD ABONDONING ROUTE, which is way more befitting for an anime :D)
The OP was great, but the ED did stick out to me (maybe because it fitted the tone at the end?)
Anyways, gonna be sticking with this for a while, since tuesdays are not so full of fun D:

Definitely much more intriguing than I thought it was going to be. I have so many questions and really want them answers, so I think I'm sticking around!

Only thing that seems to bother me is why she hasn't really pestered the dude about killing the town people, I would be asking WHY. I would be upset and furious as she was, I understand she's a child though so I may be looking past that. But I would still demand to know why rather than just not, deal with it? Maybe she will next episode I hope. BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHY.

Worst out of all the summer animes I've seen so far. Too disjointed, disconnected, irrelevant, and annoying to watch. But I'll go on for a couple more episodes before I call it quits. 2/5

This girl is so irrational and stupid. She literally calls him her father and then denies it. (P.S. By doing so, it already ruined a plot twist that will happen later) Then, when he slaughters her entire town, she does nothing but say that he's not her father. Yet, she did not even ask a few simple questions on why he did it, or his motive... Not only is her personality annoying as fack, her voice is the same as Railgun's Uihara which is my least favourite character in the entire series, even more than Haruue. Also, even if you deny that she's not a lolicon, her character design, art, and shots of fanservice prove your statement wrong.

The plot however is pretty interesting (yet a bit messy), but the execution lacks a lot. I am quite impressed with the directing at times and the scenery (sunsets mainly) are very well done. It kind of feels like Shinsekai Yori but obviously, not as much impact as that.

Major fucking plothole detected.

God established the flow of time on a Thursday? What the fuck?

How could it have been Thursday if he hadn't established the flow of time yet? It should've been done on or before (lol) monday.

Terrible writing. I'm dropping this garbage.

I'm not sure what I just watched, but the surreal atmosphere has piqued my interest. The premise seems interesting enough and I can hardly imagine what events will unfold. Not to mention it's finally a loli done right and not just randomly thrown in there for ecchi/fanservice.

I have so many unanswered questions. I guess it'll all be revealed later.
But overall, this is pretty interesting.

When the only positive thing you can say about a series is that it is "dark" that is usually a bad sign.

Then the show didn't sell, because grungy angry at god kids cant afford anime.

That was really interesting. I'm hooked! The animation is really good too. The whole premise really interests me. I'm gonna enjoy this. So she's not a grave keeper bit this whole time she thought she was. That has to have a huge impact on her when she heard that.

That girl is just fucking stupid, that what I got from this episode, I already hate her so much I can't keep on watching. This person kills people you grew up around and cared about, kills the people who took you in, fed you and raised you as their own child with love and care. Kills them brutally and in a mocking fashion and then the bitch makes one lame attempt to "attack" him and next second runs around after him like some puppy. What a traitorous bitch

Good animation quality. But this episode is the definition of the word "rushed". Totally no emotions were conveyed because I only knew the characters like 10 minuites ago
