I like the new characters but I hope they were introduced for a reason and we can actually get to know them. I'm wary because the lack of this occurs way too often.

I should have expected the woman with black hair to be one of the departed, but now it was confirmed anyways.

So we have the confirmation that there is no God, only the arbitrers and their boss.
That girl couldn't be judged because she knew she was dead, interesting.

Ok, after episode 4 I was not that eager to continue, things were getting too formulaic for me, but this episode was great, mostly because we got too see more of the world and got bits of what seems to be the overarching story.

The Jimmy story in the beginning though.. lol. Art 10/10. Seriously though, I am excited they have finally introduced new characters. Hopefully we get to really know them and they don't just add them into the storyline with no explanation as to their background and such.

Interesting. Maybe Decim was a human in the past and he is the boy in that little story.

Anyways, the "hot-headed dark skinned guy" trope is so overdone. I really don't like that new character.

Ginti seems interesting, mainly due to how he was introduced into the show lol Also with the introduction of Castra that's two new characters shown in this episode and hopefully the both and add something to the story

Actually there's three new characters shown in this episode, the third being Oculus, a man close to being God. I feel he could be cool if fleshed out more

nice change of pace with this one. We get some background on our black hair lady and some nice interaction with the work force here. We even got to see how our friends get tested to make sure they are on their game which was pretty cool. I wonder if this thing with lives being lost to fast will be brought up again. I feel bad for anyone getting stuck with ginti being their judge. Seems like he would screw up a lot.

Chavvot seems similar to the ED sequence of Monster with the picture book tale.

Too bad that guy was a dummy. If he wasn't, I swear this series could have been better.

Another pointless episode with nothing going for it.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I'm getting feelings similar to Kyousougiga. Both were originally interesting shorts, but Kyousougiga, as it expanded, became more convoluted in spite of its length, growing beyond its ability to contain itself. The end result was too much for its original scope, and in its attempt to pack as much content into its small time frame, it was unable to fully realize its own apparent ambitions.

Death Parade isn't quite at that level yet, but I'm worried that it's moving towards a similar end. It's starting to have a sizable cast of named characters and systems, where I think the show's strength lies in its episodic dealings with various visitors. Context is nice, but I'm fine with guessing at the behind-the-scenes functions, or outright ignoring justifications for the bar's existence. I'd much rather have interesting stories than a half-hearted plot, created to give post-explanations after the short was made.

After 4 years of having it on PTW I started watching this, and I watched straight 5 episodes.
This episode was the best till now I hope it becomes better from now. Not that I didn't like the first 4 episodes but I have high expectations from this.

Well this is is a nice change from the episode set-ups before.

We have some new characters introduced, a little bit of world-building as well. I wonder what this Information Bureau is like.

Ginti is the antagonistic force, a foil to Decim basically. Harbors anti-human views.

This episode confirms that Nona is the boss of the arbiters. Not that you couldn't guess it before but this made it clear.

The whole Jimmy story reminded me so much of gozenso-sama and its intros lol. Nice reminder of that anime.

Maybe the human arbiter is Chavott from the dream?

Then, Nona starts reading that book at the end and she's the one who told Decim to put up the new picture. I wonder what's the connection.

A bit slower than the other episodes, but there was some really interesting world building here. I liked the character development with Onna in particular. Hope we get the backstory on her maintaining her memories eventually.

No they weren't. They were very repetitive and did little to add to the story, more episodes like this and this show might turn into something decent.

What's the significance of Chavvot O_o??? First Onna dreaming about it and then Nona reading the book.

Chavvot and the boy are almost certainly a (weak) metaphor for Decim and Onna's relationship.


Don't you think that also means they must have known each other in their previous lives? Though that would only work if Decim was once human.[/quote

Finally, something different!

Was caught off guard and I loved it.
We are finally getting to some nice reveals that will have an impact on the future of the characters, good to know the director is going there and providing something more than just the same room of always, with people coming in, to be judged.

The next episode should prove to be really interested also.

Well this wasn't bad. But it felt like a filler. The story is cool though. I wonder what does it mean. I hope Decum will pass the correct judgement here.

oo plot episode !! this show knows how to take breaks, i wouldve probably not enjoyed this ep as much if it was another game one. 3 new characters introduced, grandpa guy that plays billiard with nona a lot, girl who.. looks at data on who and how many dies? and hot headed ginti.

so black haired girl is actually human.. makes sense. shes always felt more and the most human out of all the (staff) characters, and nona was reading the story to her? oo

Idk how to feel with this episode lol.
We got a new character introduced. Ginty, pretty lively. But his attitude puts me off.
Well today's judgment was just a test. The flower guy is pretty weird and a lot of things are bothering Nona. She's +80 years lol xD
Kurokami is just a human afterall, nice to know that.

interesting episode

though, i was looking forward to some new game and a new story

the megane guy, i thought he was once already reincarnated and remembered decim and his bar but that wasn't the case xD it would've been intersting though

so ginti, so far, is another random arbiter (judging by his eyes) and can manipulate water? aight then xD

nona seems to have some kind of power as well with those golden glowing bracelets

also, why is onna dreaming of the book nona is reading? and why did nona tell decim to change the roulette board? i wonder what's the connection

can't wait to see another episode ^^

The galaxy themed billiard table looked insane, wish I could play Nona or the other guy whos basically god...

A fake pair entered the bar, hmmm wasn't expecting something like that to happen. The kid being Ginti in disguise and the man being a doll to test Decim. Some nice action seeing Decim show off his badass metal spider web wires. Gotta say, Nona is scary when she wants to be lol even Decim was covering his eye...

Seeing part of their world and how they deal with irregularities was quite fascinating. Some things are being explained already. But there's still so much I want to know, glad more characters are being introduced. My guess is the Storybook/Ice skaters outfit in her wardrobe somehow relates with her missing memory. Will be interesting to see how it's all linked with her lost memories...

This is starting to remind me of Psycho-Pass. Both are about flawed systems, and those unable to be judged (Kurokami) are the ones who go on to do the judging.

I hate Nona, seriously. She thinks she knows everything. All these authoritarian bureaucrats piss me off. I pity anyone in Ginit's hands.
Decim is at least open-minded and earnest in his attempts to be unbiased.

It's chilling there's whole departments for monitoring and trafficking souls, as well as editing down memories. Apparently God's abandoned them? Good. If God's actually flaked then why are they upholding this twisted system?

This episode begins to build upon the concept of how the judgement world works. I love getting the episodes like this that explain the world in between heavier more thought provoking episodes. I can not stress how much this series is growing on me as I was not sure, in the beginning, whether or not I would be completely into the series as a whole.

oooh alright we got a break from the usual games, and instead got to learn more about the arbiters. plus we learn that decim's assistant (idk if her name was mentioned yet, might've missed it) is actually a human.

i do wonder though, nona stated that the humans cannot completely lose their memories after they arrive. however in episode 3, the girl stated that she couldn't even remember her name, so that would make that statement contradictory. i might've missed something again, but it bothers me nonetheless.

besides that, this was a pretty fun episode. i loved seeing the arbiters interacting with each other. also aghhh i loved that pool table. i've been a space nerd even since i was little so it's really fascinating to see one themed after the solar system
