| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was awesome. The OP song is brilliant and quite fitting to the themes. They didn't waste time with the mind games already so that's a good thing. And not only that, we get Decim who is quite content on making his intentions known. Kinda felt sorry for that woman this episode for what she's going through although she is equally guilty. Found the dart game and staking to be quite something though. The expressions and tone clearly crafts the pain of the duo. Nice start for the show, looking forward to more. |

| Great start. Reminded me of the ova and how people can be very selfish when pushed into a corner. The op seemed pretty random 0_o It was sad to see how that guy's suspicions ended up being correct. |

| This was a good episode. Okay just to clarify, the woman really was having an affair right? |
 |
| Damn it! This is so good! I so happy that they make full tv series for this anime! Can't wait to see next episode! |

| looool the opening, never expected it to be that upbeat! They're all dancing! |
 |
| Oh My.. About anime , I really liked the main idea of this anime and those games are crazy.. OP is kinda ''Happy'' for anime like that :D Madhouse didn't disappoint! Waiting for episode 2. |
| The start felt almost identical to Death Billiards, I hope they can mix it up so it doesn't feel stale. |
| Brilliant, Based Madhouse strikes once again, the OP was unexpected though, its okay but pretty weird. 5/5 |
| Followed the same structure of the OVA more or less. Seems next week is when the anime will go deeper into the universe and explore behind the curtain Surprised though, the woman did end up going to hell because she was actually having an affair. The framing of her confession made it seem like she was faking it so her husband could be spared but nope she earned the ticket all by herself |

| The opening was weird for a series like this, but i liked it. Anyway that was a crazy episode, i'm curios how the whole story will be in the end. |
 |
| Dayum. Had no clue what it was about going in, but was blown away at the end. Kinda Twilight Zone'ish, I like it. |
babymilo91 said: This was a good episode. Okay just to clarify, the woman really was having an affair right? yup... sent to hell, i think she was the red side, he was on the blue side. EDIT: the end part of this, basically the man sent for reincarnation, the woman into void... whatever that is |

| Sadly, this didn't grab me as much as the OAV (which I absolutely loved). The revelations about the 2 characters of this episode just felt kinda random... I'm rather disappointed for now, let's see how it goes in the next episodes. |
| I didn't know what the hell I was going in for. This is some strong psychological shit and I'm not disappointed. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| anime of the season |
 |
| Madhouse strikes again with another masterpiece |

Seeing her go to hell will enlighten me. |

| Oh god who are you people? |
| Really enjoyed it - it felt real and gripping the entire way through. Also, I love fun little OP's like this, I hope they develop all these new characters well though. |

chakracat said: Yeah, the highschool thing was all a fib. He was right about her being "Matchy". Her having a long lost friend invited to the marriage, who almost had the same name and was also married to a doctor would have been a little bit ridiculous if it didn't end up being a lie. :-D |
| so far the best first episode of this season |
| That was okay I suppose. Still hope they mix it up a little cause this was a little too similar to the OVA. |
| the dancing OP kind of took me by surprise... but so far i'm loving it, from the music to the bar games. |
| Disappear. This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. |
| OMG best anime of the season already. I just don't know what to say about it. Its like NGNL expect for it has a darker tone to it. The OP was awesome and so was the ED can't wait until Reserve comes on. |
 |
| Oh wow, I was wondering how this would go but damn. So in the end she was really having an affair. I completely thought that he was nuts and she was just lying to send him to heaven, but it looks like not... |
| omg that was so good, i didn't expect that. it was like the movie, but i was still hooked. and i like the OP, even though i didn't expect such an upbeat song for this show. |
 |
| Great first episode. OP was pretty good if not a little odd considering the dark setting. Looks like it's not just going to be a new game every episode too as the bar characters will have their own stories going on (maybe). Nice start anyway. ^^ |
 |
| What the f*** |
| . |
| Oh man that first episode! I love how it played out, I'm so keen to see more. I'm feeling that if this continues to be episodic like this, I'll actually really like that.. For once. (not true) |
| So, did you even see the episode? How can you be doubtful if she was cheating? |
|
| Sometimes I wonder why do I still watch anime, and an episode like this comes up. I hope the rest of the episodes are as good as this one. I remember how speechless I was left when I saw Death Billiards from Anime Mirai 2013 By the way, notice that the masks above the elevators are different when they leave. The man has a smiling mask (reincarnation) and the woman a demon (void). When they arrived it was reverse |

| This is why I love Madhouse! |
| after watching death billiards... if madhouse continues this with this quality... i am calling this along with tsukimonogatari as anime of the season o_o |

| Could it be that she actually lied for him? When she said that she cheated, Dekim looked surprised. |
| Just amazing :O Based MH. The way the emotions were depicted was perfect. Misunderstandings one after another showing how human can become when pushed into the corner. Really didn't expect Machiko to really have been cheating O_O The way they showed it made it seem like she was just making it up so she pisses off Takashi after seeing him doubting her that much. To think I actually felt bad for her <_< Animation, Music and ED were amazing! OP was awesome but unexpected lol |
 |
| Sweet Jesus, that was so intense. It was only the first episode but so far was great. Their facial expressions was marvelous. I love these. It will be the best anime of this season I think. That opening fucked me up though. Can't wait to the next episode! |
 you tellin me mangas aint japanese colouring books |
| i feel I'm the only one who has been disappointed? after watching death billiards i feel that i expected everything that that will happen I'm hoping it isn't episodic for all 12 episodes |
| I've been so hyped for this and it didn't disappoint, already anime of the season for me tbh. |
 |
| basically an exact copy of the original OVA except with darts instead of billiards not sure how the overarching story of this will actually play out though, we'll see |
