| Hosoya Yoshimasa yeaaaah (i was looking forward to Ginti) Nice episode. I am especially intrigued by the information about Onna remembering she was dead. |
-Klad- said: That story reminded me of Monster... Not nearly as creepy. |
 |
| Oh so Onna was suppose to be given a judgement but was made as an arbiter. |
| I can't wait to see ginti as an arbiter hehehe this will be interesting |

Aymaan143 said: Based on the preview, next episode there's a cat that died alongside a human and they play twister? The cat is probably Ginti's pet or something since it catches one of the buttons that fly off when he tears his shirt in the opening. So Castra (the head of ?? department) takes care of sorting/sending the dead to the arbiters I guess, since she selected two blood droplets on her screen which then turned into two texts that she moved into some block. Nona seems to be overseeing the whole organizations since Castra asked Then there is the information bureau/department headed by Quin (the woman with eye patch or w/e in the opening) that edits memories sent by Castra and sends them to arbiters, and also conducts some tests on the arbiters. Oculus is apparently the head of the "tower" and Nona used to be an arbiter that was promoted to a manager. I wonder if every floor of the tower has its own manager or something (can't remember clearly from episode 2). Seemingly they are having some problems since Castra and Quin need assistance from Oculus and Nona is pissed off at him for being so laid back (not sure if I got that right?). |

| this was a great episode. some backstory and visually it was great aswell |
| I love how Nona spells out stuff that Decim already knows so that the audience can follow it too. The old man with the glasses is evil. In case we didn't notice, they even gave him an evil laugh. Looks like Nona discovered something in the scene with the lollipop girl. I don't know if the subtitles were awful or if my english just sucks, but I have no idea what they were talking about. Onna plays the role of damsel in distress so that we can have an action scene. Will Ginti be punished for trying to kill an arbiter? Can arbiters even die? Should I care about Onna being targeted even though humans can't die in the bar? The tale about the two kids could have been interesting if it didn't look awful and lazy. Who am I kidding, it's probably a metaphore for Onna and Decim and the show could have spent time developing their relationship instead. It's time to abandon the ship before it sinks even further. |

| ginti looked like hisoka |

| Pretty good episode. Every episode gets better.. |

| Everyone is out there having a social life and I'm here watching anime. |
| Interesting episode. After the drama we finally get some more insight into the kind of "operation" that they're running and what lies behind it. We also get to see some more personnel who's in the judgment business. Ginti seems the complete opposite to Decim and quite frankly I have to say that I find his personality completely unsuitable for judging people, but I suppose he'll be rather skilled at "extracting the darkness" from them. |

| I really enjoyed how this episode broke the formula a little bit. We got to see quite a few different plot devices here, like the little hostage situation and the brief fight between Ginti and Decim. Nona's conversation with the old man (Oculus?) was also really intriguing, especially with his statement that he is closest to being God. Interested to see what other religious references will show up. Also, I like how we got a bit more explanation in terms of the scope of the arbiters and their job. I'm curious about the "bureau" that Nona mentioned. Decim's relationship with Onna was also a nice touch. I didn't consider that she might be breaking the rules by being there, and Decim's attachment to her is sweet--though that could end up being really heartbreaking later on. Looks like we'll be seeing things from Ginti's perspective next week. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Finally! The start to a plot! I was beginning to worry that the show would be a plot per episode and not really focus on the arbiters and that it would get dull, but finally, some plot! And I think some of us saw her being a human coming. How else would she have no memories? I wonder if they'll ever have to judge her |
 |
| Man I need that pool table! Pool table: Universe Edition. Great episode. Lmao how last week people were bitching about how this has no plot. So we get some plot and now they bitching about how this is ep was boring lol. Anyway got to see Ginti. Ginti vs Decim was good even if it was just a quick fight. So Onna knew she was dead already? That's crazy. Nona is still cool as hell. 89 years she been running things and seems to hold it down quite well. Oh snap black girl. Damn 7000 people dying every hour!? You know that's a problem. Next week is going to be a nice change of pace. 6/5 for that pacing. |

Another hint While in OP  |

Antearion said: Pool table: Universe Edition. Sign me up! Man, this episode was so good. Decim was so cool during that fight he like, didn't move any muscle and still won lol. And finally we get some plot for Onna, I just love her. Pumped for next episode, more characters coming Yay! |
| So, the question is - is Decim Jimmy? And I don't know why but I found that book creepy but maybe I just remembered Monster I guess. I hope Onna stays with us for a while as it's very interesting character. I think her judging would be the end of this series. Heavy background story episode this time. We got to know how other arbiters work (it's interesting every one of them has different attack methods) and it was noticable that women lead while men serve. And there have to be tons of arbiters when you think about it. Like ten millions or even more. Afterlife sure is busy place. I wonder what they are if not human. Or were there human before? |
| Next episode will have Mamoru Miyano, fuck yes. |
|
| Interesting episode, quite a few things happened but I'm just wondering what that child's story is... #100thpost |
 |
| Nice change of pace. Great animation when Ginti was running at Decim. |
 |
| Ohhhh we got some background information and new characters in this episode. This anime only gets better and better, it's so interesting :D |

| Someone needs to make that poo table a meme or something. We have to spread it's greatness. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Introduction of some more characters, very nice |
| Super nice pool table. I wanna play on it. The storybook reminded me of Monster. Seriously thought that girl would do something, but turns out I was wrong. Glad this episode introduced most of the characters in the opening. |
 |
| man that OP never gets old!! ♥ ♥ ♥ and is it me or are Decim's feelings for the girl are kinda being unraveled? hmmm... & we finally get to learn a bit more about her.. but they mentioned that she will have to pass judgement again later.. ugh! whaat! can't wait for the next ep!!! |
bastek66 said: Another hint While I don't think the Chavvot=Onna thing is meant to be cryptic, I have to say, nice catch! I was wondering what you meant and then I looked closer at the first picture :) |
| That's it, the last tiny bit of expectation and respect is lost when the show suddenly turns into a battle-shonen. Troll OP, pretentious judgment system, weird unlikeable characters, cliche story with no substance, world that deliberately left unexplained for the sake of misery, retelling of information that we already know without providing anything new to add to the mix etc. There are some really serious problems with the story planning. It's starting to feel like Zankyou no Terror with its pseudo-philosophically approach if not for the first three episodes plays on my expectation. |
| Good. There seems to be a much bigger plot than just deciding where two dead humans will end up. Gives me a reason to continue watching. |

| Ginti <3 CLAVIS <333333 yeah I thought jimmy & chavvot were decim & onna in the sense that one is human, so that communication barrier is there between them (since they don't think the same way). it's not a very strong connection but either way please god don't let there be romance between them ._. |
 |
| best 23 minutes of the week. |
 |
| Very interesting episode; I'm pleased to see some new characters getting introduced and more of the mythology behind the world being hinted at and explained. Awesome details like the pool table, Castra's lollipop (and her criptic dialogue, for that matter), and the Decim vs. Ginti fight/aftermath of said fight made the episode a thumbs up in general. The pacing still feels off to me and I disagree with a good number of the writing choices, but we shall see where it goes. I feel that Decim will be an interesting character to explore, and I very much hope I'm right. |

    looket all them demons oh boy am i scared i better run ● ● ● |
| We interrupt this one-game-a-week anime to bring you information that actually is relevant to the state of this world being shown. So the man self-touting as being the one closest to god also states that "God is long since gone". Add that to the end when Nona had her chat with Castra, the bone helmet girl, and what I'm getting from this is that God either got bored and abandoned the universe, or somehow disappeared, and the arbiters and this "Tower" of theirs is left to deal with the aftermath of all that. Castra talking about humans dying at a rate of "7,000 per hour" being too fast and asking Nona for some relief shows how short-staffed they are here.. To be perfectly honest, having a "One-Game-a-Week" theme is good and all, but I don't mind episodes like this as well, where we get to unravel a bit more of the mystery of this world. Can't wait to see Ginti judging next episode. With his sort of temper, I get the feeling it's gonna be hella different from Decim's games. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| That was incredible. The pool game and the fake players...brilliant. Good to see more about the other characters and didn't know Onna was a human! Just wow...this show keeps getting better |
| interesting character and plot development! |
| good episode, nice to see some more info on the arbiters and onna. so the children in the book are onna and decim? and i kind of want that planetes pool game, it looks so cool lol |
 |
| Quite an intriguing episode. Didn't expect how those two guest were going to turn out. That pool table, though. It was looked so awesome, especially with the lightsaber looking pole sticks. I'm guessing we're going to see how Ginti passes judgement to others. That should be interesting. |
