| Great episode! Rest in peace Mary and blood, at the very least it wasn't a tragic end, but a bittersweet one for them. I really loved the post credit scene, made their goodbye much more heartfelt. I guess that's pretty much the end of the prologue, the real shit starts now for William G. Maryblood (that's honestly a sickass name). Damn, 5 episodes in and Will already killed a God, well, a part of a God, but still, point still stands lmao. At least Gus is still alive, I hope when Will visits someday, Gus is still there. Really looking forward to the next episode, we'll see where the show goes from here. |

eplipswich said: Seriously? I was watching it on Ani-One Asia's channel (cos it's free) and couldn't believe these errors. They should re-upload it. But I doubt that'd get rid of the poor subtitle translations.It's the Ani-one version that has major issues. Would suggest watching the much better Crunchyroll version. ----------------- Definitely loving this episode. Would say it's really good compared to the previous ones, especially with how things wrapped up here. Even still I think the animations of this anime are mid at best. Those portraits of Mary and Blood's pre-undead forms still looked 'lifeless'. The goddess didn't really invoke an overwhelming feeling or presence a deity should invoke. I really like story, it deserves better. It looks like the prologue is finally over. But we (at least anime onlies) have no idea where the story will go next. The only vague suggestion I got is William was asked to preach and revive a dying religion? |
| While the emotion of their deaths was ever-so-slightly diluted by the previous fake-out, it still hit pretty hard for Will as he prepares to move onto the next stage of his journey. It seems that he's been tasked with reviving Gracefeel's dying religion in whatever is left of the world while also finding some way of dealing with the High King's seal before it breaks; the first half of that at least helps explain why Gracefeel bestowed such a strong blessing on Will so easily for the Stagnate fight. Very interested to see where things go now that we seem to have concluded the "prologue". |
| This episode was very necessary for Will's development and I hope that in the next one his adventure begins. |

| The episode was extremely touching to see if you forget the intrinsic doubts about the progress of the plot. From the build up to the fight, exploding the character presentations and sentiments towards their past actions and struggles, to the long-lasting words in the departure of the parents. Clearly the idea is somehow telegraphed and done before in the anime, but the execution of the dialogue was coherent and flowed really well into each other. The reinforcement about the struggle of the main couple in the post credit was a brilliant final touch since it reinforces the other viewpoint. There is not just the sentiment of being a son that is about to lose both of your parents, but also the sentiment of being a parent about to free the child that you've always wanted to have to the arms of destiny, really moving episode Sadly the visual department doesn't let this concept shine as much as I would want, the characters are somewhat flat and the animation is rough, but well, the story delivers in one way or another |
| This show just makes me sad. I don't know if I want to watch more people go through hardships. |
| It is sad to see both Mary and Blood to pass away. I am glad that the boy is moving on and have taken both of his parents name as his last name. |
 |
| You bastards... I though I was handling their passing pretty well, but that end scene with Blood and Mary just choked me up. |

Inferno792 said: Blood and Mary saying "We're gonna have to leave/die", then Will crying and saying he wants to do this and that with them, but then the same fucking thing happens the next episode. Mostly this. The wishy washy scenes blend into each other. They just aren't memorable. |
| Looks like Blood and Mary decide to go with death rather than staying like Gus. In another way, this is exactly the same as some other series that have either their sibling or parents the MC admires dies in order to give the MC a reason to "grow up". And now Will Bloodymary, oops, I mean Will Maryblood's going off by himself to become strong enough in 10 years (assuming this series will give a lot of time skips, or this series is going for 100+ episodes of character growth...) to defeat the God of Undead or that sealed evil dude that will rise in 10 years. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Finally a good episode, damn The ending made it harder to let go of blood and marry. I'd be just like gus wanting to keep livin lolz. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The best episode so far. With that it appears that the first 'arc' is over. The last part of the episode confused me at first; I thought it was weird to end such an episode with scene from 200+ years. But then I understood why it was added. Very emotional episode.. It was nice that they remembered the seal of the High King too which appeared to have been completely forgotten in the previous episode, despite being employed for securing a destroyer of worlds :) |
 |
| At least he managed to beat Stagnate but Blood and Mary had to disappear, that was really sad, even more with the post-credit scene for when they were humans :( Now William is William G Maryblood, at least Gus is still here |
 |
| he should have gone for Augustus William Maryblood, rather than William G. Maryblood. or might as well as Will D. Maryblood for the better. |
| Mary and Blood maybe gone but they live on in Will now. It was painful to see them move on and Gracefeel taking their souls away. I wonder if they'd reincarnate in this world and Will getting a chance to meet them once again. I like how Gus decided to give Will the name Maryblood and Will added a G to reference Gus. He may not be as close to him as Blood and Mary but Gus is still Will's family, a Godfather if you will. That post credit scene was really cute but also really sad knowing what happens to them. They truly are a married couple even though they still have yet to marry officially. Reminds me of Rit and Red from Banished from Hero's Party. Mary sure is a bold woman just like Rit. |
| kind of boring but at least we got backstory |
 |
| Great episode all around but that post credit scene punched me in the feel box. |
 |
| What a great episode. Bittersweet as well. I guess the origins are over with and now for the adventure. |
| Guess Will's last name being "Bloodmary" would have different connotations. Just as well then. |
