Why does this show only do two people? Why not everyone who died in the bus?

Things are too convenient for my liking and the choosing of the individuals doesn't make any sense.

7/10. Decent episode but we need more information on how the world works.

Perhaps nobody else on the bus died? They might have survived and these two persons were just unlucky (or perhaps Lucky since they now could have a date)

It's so nice to see that there is the option of both parties being able to be reincarnated, rather than someone unfairly going to the void like the first couple. I was sad thinking that one of them was going to the void until I saw above the elevator doors. ;o; This was a really good episode

One thing I'm confused about though is that girl was Mia right and not the other girl right?


Yes.
It was merely a misinterpretation of memories that she thought she was Chisato.


Oh okay thanks for clearing that up for me. It all makes sense now.

Uh.. eh? But plastic surgery in Japan and Korea is actually not uncommon. (Even for children or high schoolers, apparently).

I knew she wasn't Chisato. But I expected Mai to actually be a guy... kind of disappointed with the conclusion.

I feel like this is something that'll probably have at least a slight explanation. Not sure, but it just seems to me like they will explain why they pick a specific pair that dies at the same time and not just a random couple. My idea is that maybe it just picks those people with the most significant connections to each other? In this instance it would be because they were childhood friends, the last couple would be because they were newlyweds.

It was interesting to see a more calm episode but i still prefer when there is screaming. Their story didn't affect me at all, guess i have a heart made of stone lol But i'm happy they both got reincarnation :D Ah Decim made a joke, didn't expect that xD Overall great episode!

The next episode seems more dark. Can't wait for it!

That episode was really good. I'm really glad that there are happy endings in this anime, too, even though this was also sad at the same time. I like how honest and warm-hearted both were. Shigeru's move when he finally knew everything was sweet.

So the problem of having one always go to Hell is solved by it not being actually the case. Which is nice, I really was sad at the end, thinking that one of them would go to the Void. And it makes this trials a lot more fair and humane.

Good, nice and calm episode, and Decim actually got me with his joke^^

First episode had newlyweds.

This episode had vague friends as children.

The problem I have is the relationship in the first one is a lot stronger than the relationship in the second. Sure they reconnected during the episode but they weren't that close growing up, hence why the girl got the surgery.

Really wish the girl with the black hair would ask questions, to fill the audience in. Three episodes in and are we still clueless on how things operate in the world of Death Parade.

The feels.

Man I never thought this anime would give me the feels. This was a nice love story all the way till the end. The date was a nice touch also. Glad to see we can get episodes like this and not just people going crazy. Happy they both got reincarnated. Also I thought that was a nice touch by madhouse. Where at the the end the girl face start reverting back to her original one. Just a nice episode all around.

5/5.

I really do hope that both masks being the same above each elevator means they are both being reincarnated. It would be quite terrible for either one of them to go into the void.

It seems that there is no need of a strong connection.. Just a connection between the two people...

I was thinking she was actually a trap lol
But still a beautiful episode that shows you don't need to have a bunch of edgy/cold characters to make something interesting. Glad to see both went for reincarnation because I feared one always had to go to the void which would be sad. I expect an episode soon where both go the the void.

Yes, there's no need for a connection. In the OVA (Death Billiards) the 2 people were unrelated

Pretty disappointing, the whole episode give me this unnatural and contrived feeling in the writing department. It's hard to get invested when both characters take death this lightly is like they have no personality outside of this episode, especially when they were told that they had to gamble with their lives and the girl said help me remember my name and the guy just okay with it, I know they want to try a different tone this time but the presentation is just awkward.

It's nice that they both got good endings, but I don't really know what factor allowed the girl to be placed under the "nice" category. Shigeru on the other hand was non-judgemental about Mai's choice to undergo surgery, but as far as I can tell the most positive action Mai took was telling Shigeru she was sorry when she remembered about her past.
Ah, well I guess it's that she was attempting to take the initiative and tell him she wasn't actually Chisato.

I would like to think either:
a) They survived and only these 2 died or
b) Those other people went to other floors since Decim is on floor 15 I believe. The others that died could of went to other floors, and by chance these 2 are the ones that Decim was "assigned"
Thats my 2 cents anyway, great episode regardless

That was a really nice change of pace and atmosphere for this episode

The earlier stages of the episode made me feel like I was watching the OVA again when Onna would do the number countdown thing :3

I also found the story between the two childhood friends to be sweet...I don't have anything against plastic surgery at all, it was her decision and I respect that...Some people are just not happy with their bodies

Regardless, it was pretty damn cute how the guy genuinely loved her regardless and them going on that date was beyond kawaii :''D

I also liked seeing the interactions between Decim and Onna....When he made that joke I was like "Well check this out...Decim grew a funny bone xD" loool

And I guess this episode confirms that both players can go to the same place =o I'm really happy that they both got reincarnated because quite frankly they both deserved it :D

Great episode overall, pacing was great and the animation was solid yet again

I'm glad that DP isn't going to be all dark and gloomy....We need episodes like these from time to time

thats a fact, that they went for reincarnation. It would make no sense if one of them would go to hell and the other to heaven, as long as they were pure honest throughout the game. Importnatly, since their childhood.

Nah, it seems to me that the writers bit off more than thay can chew. This kind of story is better with living actors, animation can do it sometimes, but here they don't succeed in showing the subtle changes in expressions. And Onna - Decim dynamics isn't going too well.
I am disappointed that there will be another couple next time. And a man and a woman again...

Edit: I mean, I did like this episode in a way, but it definitely isn't the show I hoped it would be.
