| Is Hambert really dead now he won't be back in a later episode? NNNNOOOOO, the FEELZ this episode. This episode made so much development and then Hambert dies WOW! This was still a great episode though!!! |
 |
tingy said: Still, I find it a little hard to believe that a little girl like Ai could beat up adults, though I guess the shovel is a pretty powerful weapon if you don't dodge it. She's half gravekeeper, so she probably is stronger/faster than a normal human in addition to the whole put the dead to rest ability thing. We saw that Scar is hella strong after all. Not to mention it kinda seemed like Ai was dodging bullets as well. |
| Few maxims have done as much harm as, "Children should be seen and not heard." |
| Great episode. I don't think this episode was a mess. This show (so far) has shown that peoples' desires are being granted as a last gift from God. There's the gift of not dying, the gift of immortality - and as Humbert told the bondage guy, his greatest desire is to die happily with his daughter and friends grieving over him. This "gift" is granted, so he is able to die (and that's why you see a reiteration of what happened to him written artfully in the sky). I was skeptical about a 12 year old MC, but Ai is really growing on me. |
 |
| Ai is a dodge-master. I suppose, she was mastering skills for the whole her life. |
| Wow, did he just... die? THE FEEL ;_; |
| Ok so that's what I understood so far: In real life: When a person dies, he/she "passes away" at the same time. only 1 state exist in real life : "Alive" in this anime: When a person dies, he/she becomes "undead". the only way to "pass away" is to be buried by a gravekeeper 2 states exist : "Alive" , "Undead" now, Hambert happens to have a 3rd state which is "Immortal", he cannot die (he cannot become an "undead"). But once he achieved happiness, he lost his "Immortal" state and became "Alive", but died at the same time, so basically he went from "Immortal" to "Undead" instantly. At the end, he was buried in order to "pass away". But between his "Undead" state and burial he spent time with his daughter. |
| hmmmmmmmmm |
| Man they rushed this. There is some serious pacing issues that removed any potential impact of the death. Now it's just a random death of a random character we barely know anything about. So far, this adaptation has been very very weak on the characters side. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| GREAT episode! I liked so much... 5/5 |
| Oh man, the feels were overflowing this episode, all the goals set out have been completed and pretty much all the know characters but 3 are dead, this could be an ending episode lol. I loved it was a great episode, im curious as to what the story will be now, because I doubt it will just be random adventures as a grave keeper and I hope the other grave keeper and that guy say with her |

| I thought Hampnie will be on the entire series. -_- |
| Hope to see Ai grow stronger as a Gravekeeper in the future. :3 After hearing the truth from Ai that she's his daughter, it was probably the last prerequisite required to hand him the death he wanted. His immortality was probably imperfect, it sounded too convenient to be true? God seems to have given him immortality until he can find what he wanted to fulfill his happiness before dying. |
 |
| When he died I threw a mini-fit. I really thought that the series would end with something like this. I'm gonna miss Hampnie, even if he did hit Ai once per episode so far... Always appreciate the little bits of comedy that they throw in each episode. Every time there's been a moment like that, I always laugh a little. I'm really interested to see where this series will go from here. |
| What the actual fuck. I don't know what to feel with this Anime anymore. At first I was still thinking why the hell is she acting friendly to the person who slaughtered her village. And then a wild Yuri appeared. I thought he wanna get revenged? And now he is mentioning this friend friend thing??? He gonna save the man who killed his wife and daughter? What the fuuck? I thought gravekeepers was supposed to be emotionless? Like an AI or something? Why did she not buried those dead immediately then? Why did she wait for Ai's long talk? Why did she wait one day for Hampnie before burying him? Did she actually understood the father daughter relationship? I just don't get some of the logic of this series... But then.. Hampnie suddenly died. I was like what the f is going on. I thought he is immortal? Is that what its supposed to be or they just didnt bother explaining that he will lose his immortality when he achieved happiness? Shit just got real when Ai narrated Hampnie's death. The scene afterwards was so emotional. Holy shit. Even though I have so many questions, that was great! Combined with that ED song, best ed song this season. Damn. I love when a Main Character dies. It is always a good sign of a great series. |

I was seriously expecting them journeying for the whole season and meeting all those characters in the OP. Why did that god take away Humbart's immortality right when he discovered his daughter? Abandon the world my ass. That god is a major troll. -Oh you want immortality? Here, and I am also leaving the world and 'no one will be born'. -Aw, you realize that you will be all alone eventually? Don't want immortality no more? Nop, no take back. -Want happy family? Nop! your wife left you. -So, you fallen into despair and no hope of every dying happily? I am getting bored. -Here, you discovered you long lost daughter, who I gave special exception be born! I planned this hope for you 13 years ago. :) -NOP! I taking back the immortality! You Died :D -Get buried by your own daughter!! :D "MonoKuma laugh"  I agree. The God in this show a major troll. Poor Kizuna trolled by God till he was buried beside his own wife. I loled so hard at this more than i should've. :S It was a pretty unexpected event. I meant dafuq i thought he was one of the main character and he died so quickly >_>; Sadly, his death was not impactful since it felt too rushed ;/ If only they could expand this further then it will be such a tearjerker ;s |

| Some people are actually complaining that he is listed as a main character? what the fuck? If this were to be just 3 episode, it would be nice but since it keeps going I fear it might disappoint...hope I'm wrong. Oh the part where Ai and Scar were fighting was retarded as fuck. |
| ;_; |
| Sooo... how did he die? They just made a big deal out of his immortality, only for him to become mortal somehow. Stark700 said: Yeah, and where the hell did she get the ability to fight? AND dodge bullets?Of course, I also liked watching Ai kicking some ass with that shovel of her's. |

-MgZ_ said: To be honest, in this case this ending is really supposed to be THE ENDING because originally the LN is supposed to have only ONE VOLUME. So you might as well treat these 3 episodes (which makes up the vol.1 of the LN) as a prequel. The real series is what is going to happen in the remaining episodes.I love when a Main Character dies. It is always a good sign of a great series. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| It is a big twist to put a death in 3 episodes. So let's see how this continues. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| huh, he is a main and died so early? He cant be dead, right? edit nevermind, he is dead |
Snakebee said: Soo immortal dude died because his wish to die happily came true? So god still does give a shit then? DAMN I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING Why the hell kill off the most interesting/cool character in the series ? . . Oh well, I was too confused to cry, which is unfortunate cause now I have feels |
| Insert wise quote here |
| It was a ok episode. So he is immortal but died when he found her daughter? hmm |
 |
DraconisMarch said: Sooo... how did he die? They just made a big deal out of his immortality, only for him to become mortal somehow. Apparently god granted his wish. He said "I want to make the people who'll live on after me cry and lament my loss as I leave behind just a little bit of regret" and that he wanted to die happy and it was exactly what happened. |
Takuan_Soho said: Professional courtesy to Ai. Remember that Ai specifically asked for back up. It was Ai's job to bury the kidnappers and Humbert, which she did. It also appears that the Gravediggers are not violent or in a hurry to perform their duties. If the dead is willing and doesn't delay too much, they appear to be somewhat flexible on the time. Well, I thought the "real" gravekeepers are cruel and violent because Scar was named killer, monster etc etc based on what she said on episode two. Plus she's emotionless. I guess she has some logic then. Takuan_Soho said: When the MC's death has a point (even if it being pointless is the point). Humbert had to die for the story to advance, kudos to the writer (and director) for not dragging this out or milking it. Of course. I totally agree. Thank you for your reply to my questions. I get it now! Can't wait to know really happened. symbv said: To be honest, in this case this ending is really supposed to be THE ENDING because originally the LN is supposed to have only ONE VOLUME. So you might as well treat these 3 episodes (which makes up the vol.1 of the LN) as a prequel. The real series is what is going to happen in the remaining episodes. So what comes next will be an original by Madhouse? They are not going to follow the Manga or whatsoever? |
| That was one hell of an episode.. I didn't really give much attention to this anime but this episode changed my whole view one it. It was an emotional episode. After seeing him die (and turning into a dead) I already had manly tears rolling down. However, when there were scenes of him and Ai playing, it just got me even more emotional. Then Ai buried her own father, which hit me the most. It was pretty brutal to see it happen but I'm sure she would have wanted herself to do it. I guess his immortality was gone after escaping what was holding him down- loneliness and despair. After seeing his daughter, he must have been happy to know he has at least left something in the world. R.I.P Kizuna Astin aka Hampnie Hambert. You will forever be in the hearts of many anime viewers and manga readers. You shall be one of my favorite male characters. |
| I always enjoy this kind of episode that are sad and at the same time heartwarming but the problem that i always had with this type of episode that feels like an ending one instead of only the third, is that it raises my expectations on the next episodes to be as good or better, unfortunately most of the time that does not occur and I get this bittersweet taste after finishing the show. I hope this one changes that. 5/5 |

I read this in monokuma's voice! xD Like what a lot of others said, I was EXTREMELY doubtful when he died the first time. My reaction: "lol he's not dead this is only episode 3! I wonder how him and ai are gonna travel together?....wut, why are they showing these cute father daughter scenes? are we actually gonna get to see them go on an adventure now?...."wait...why is he in that coffin?....wait....no.... NO...WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?..NOOOO. OK WTF MAN? YOUR KIDDING ME? HE CAN'T BE DEAD...? (ai crys) **** MY LIFE I LOVED HIM TOO. IMMORTAL MY ***" |
| Just beautiful. Everything was so perfect. |
 |
| Wow, just wow. I was thinking after a few episodes this series might tone down, but I'm sure glad it didn't. The ending even gave me the chills ^^ it was so amazing (along with the ED). Yep, most definitely my favorite of this season. =O all them 5/5 scores to be expected  |

| - Each time I see Ai I think "Sakura" (CCS), they are just clones! It's disturbing as hell! - Why "Juli" or even worst "Julie"? it there some official romanji for his name? because reading him name on the official website (in katakana) it's Yurii (or Yulii) - Hampunii Hampaato (?) is listed as a main character in MAL, but the official website just list all the characters, without "main", "supporting" - Next: school life? in French? O_o |

| Me (before watching this) remembering a quote: ''Don't get attached to the white haired ones.'' ;_; |
Raiden_ said: NOOOOOO DANTE!!! :_: LOL, he seriously did look like Dante. He was also immortal, seeing himself as a monster, cocky, he was just too quiet... He didn't have great one-liners if any at all, but he was still amazing. So he really did die? I will still watch it but seriously, I don't see why would you kill him so early... I think it was a bit rushed. |
