| to me this is the sickest one yet not in a good way... ew this story line with the aunt and her sister... XP she deserved to die!!! |
 |
| So Mina's mother didn't jump off a cliff but instead was hacked to pieces by Mina's aunt? Creepy. I wonder why Mina's mother was trying to leave the island again.. |
| o.O that aunt is crazy!! geez this episode shocked me .. but it was a good episode !! there was no other choice than to pull the string this time or else she would have died herself .. |
 |
| Mina's aunt is really crazy, she killed her sister because she is leaving the island?? |
| Creepy! |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I suppose she pulled the string out of instinct, but when she died she might not have ended up in Hell. However, by saving her temporary and fleeting life (who knows, she could have an accident and die the next day, within the year, etc.), she now faces an ETERNITY of suffering... |
| Gaaaah and just when im considering dropping the series, it pulls out an episode like this! Very creepy, the reporter playing a more vital role and getting more air time which someone else mentioned. The aunt was creepy especially with the aunts multiple disorder thing going on D: i was like wow.... I agree with most people here in that this is the first one where it was basically she pulls the string, or she dies... although either way she's getting an 'eternity' of hell whenever she dies.. and that could be whenever! Well looks like im going to have to keep watching, just wish the show wasn't so inconsistent.. or at least it is that way for me! |
OriginANIME said: The journalist has the worst luck ever, he just cant stop anyone! xD It's agonizing that he's getting closer and closer and closer every episode without actually breaking through and saving someone. But through all that, the two Shibatas are slowly becoming my favorite characters in the series. Just what is Tsugumi's connection to Ai? |
| This was rather a nice episode! The main character role's are being changed to the Reporter and The Girl! I've got new hope for this Anime :D |
 |
| The aunt was unstable and had a sister complex. She did not want to lose her niece, which represented her sister. The aunt also did not want the niece to be hurt the same way as her older sister. The mother that die, I guess she wanted to flee the island, because it was a boring shit hole. The niece wants to pull the string to kill off the aunt... wow, the niece is crazy O_O I only agree with the niece, when she did it in self defense. I liked how Mina and the aunt were closer before and participated together in the school festival. Sad. |
 |
| LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL omg poor bastard the reporter..... |
  |
| I miss the punishment scenes. That's my favourite part of each episode but now they cut them out :/ |
 |
| okay so the aunt was a siscon and had mental problems cool. I thought the reporter would be dead when they pushed him luckily not but I feel sad for him solving it for first time and then unexpected event let the girl still make the deal but okay this time was pretty good reason this would be 1 of the cases that I would agree on sending someone to hell. I miss this punishment scene allot but the anime is still cool. this way it more going in a story way now. but was that small gate you saw at the entrance of the cave not the actual gate way to hell? oh well I guess we find out sooner or later. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| Wow...this is the first episode in this series to actually make me feel creeped out, sad, and sympathetic. Creeped out by the fact that the aunt was crazy with her multiple personality disorder playing the role as her niece's mom (aka her sister). Lol at first i actually thought like some crazy stuff would happen and that voice was actually the spirit of the dead sister but i digress. Secondly i feel sad because of the way everything turned out, like they could've lived happily if for one that crazy aunt dint kill her sister. Yes maybe she would of left the island but she probably would've came back to visit from time to time. It shouldn't have ended this way :( And thirdly i feel a little sympathetic toward the aunt because she was just trying to protect her niece from experience her sister felt and i also feel bad about her mental disorder. |
| Well, so much for the moral ambiguity, we're going back to the crazies. No complains here though. Still, the whole setup was messed up, so there's no one to really blame. I'm really appreciating this show for being able to pull off these kinds of setups so much. |
| I really like the way this anime is taking, I mean, I knew that it could have not been that episodic, a plot, for being the goodness of 3 seasons, there must've been! Also, I like the change from evil to good. The good thing is that you can never, and really never, blame anyone for pulling that string, and for, instead, try to convince to not. At the beginning, I thought Enma was not happy for what he is doing, but in these last episodes it seems that she can't wait for dragging people to hell... maybe se has some sorts of obligations.. I dunno |
| Every episode is more frustrating than the other one. We finally had Hajime convince people that it was the wrong decision, but of course they just had to be FORCED into a situation where it was a matter of life and death. I really dislike that aspect. "Hey, you can die now or you can die later and go to Hell!" How lovely. 2/5. I wonder if all three seasons will be just this... |
| It's funny how Hajime never manages to make people give up on vengeance. lol |
| "Me ni wa me wo, ha ni wa ha wo, aku ni wa aku wo." |
| Really good episode, the twist was pretty obvious though. I suspected that the sister was murdered by the aunt pretty early on. The way she killed her was really messed up, chopping her legs off so she literally wouldn't be able to leave. Also the fact that shes been talking to her dead body for years was just really creepy lol.. |

| Holy shit was that aunt a nutcase. Now she definitely deserved to die. Recently there haven't been many victims of the covenant who have done anything wrong. |
| The idea of being separated and left alone drove her insane... |
| Hajime is still persisent in trying to get them not go revenge but to avail sadly. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| First "okay" episode for me. Well, I think this was the most repetitive episode since the detective/journalist started to try interfere. |
| I think about Psycho for a moment there. Talking with skeleton and having 2 personalities |
 |
| Yandere aunts are scary yo. |
 |
| I feel bad for the reporter guy. He's trying his best to make a difference and help these stupid people from condemning themselves to an eternity of Hell, but nothing he does works. Gotta be frustrating. |
 |
on 
| Ever since Hajime and his daughter made an entrance to the show, the quality is not the same anymore. |

| Damn it aunt! You have one job! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| It was funny how Ren and Onna were following Hajime and Ren even threw him off the cliff and that eye was funny too. I like their encounters overall. Case was pretty interesting. Finally someone who actually needed to use the doll used it. Instead of just doing it for revenge they actaully did it as a safety trigger. That aunt was totally nuts axing her sister, developing a second personality (of her sister) talking to her bones, trying to kill her niece and her boyfriend. Assaulting her boyfriend in the water. All in all great episode 9/10 |

| So Mr. Reporter how were you going to convince the Aunt out of this one? Were you going to stay and watch the girl for the rest of her life? |
 |
| Again, our man keeps fails every time he tries to save someone, though he kind of succeeded this time but Mina was dumb and went in her aunt's room, which lead to her almost dying. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| This one couldn't have been helped, the aunt was a literal psychopath. I did notice that however, like the mayor in the previous episode, she didn't go through any torture before waking up on the boat. I'm guessing that this means she really was a good person? |
