after reading that synopsis i did not expect that op lol. loved it tho

ive seen this show a lot in peoples favs, and a lot of them recommending this too and i can definitely see why just by the first ep. i kinda thought that the girl was lying at the end just so the guy didnt die while feeling so guilty but damn ..

They're both just guilty lol, deserved xD Pretty fun game. Mind games are interesting to watch. Opening is pretty nice. A good start I guess. Decim has such a cold personality, but I like him.

If only they were told that they're already dead. But, then where does that drama come from otherwise.

It's not heaven or hell here. Well you'll see next episode anyway.

so she had cheated once when they showed us a scene where a man was smoking. But the baby was of the husband, and she was lying to him so that he can resent her and get let his soul live in peace

The bloodied marriage ring symbolized "broken marriage" or "distrust" You'd be surprised to find out who really broke the trust or just didn't trust. Really love the attention to detail that the anime has given...

Spoiler: The credit scene at 21:35, Notice the name on the leftmost place card 'Machida Yuki' the person, Machiko told about. She didn't make up the story, she lied about not loving him and actually the baby belongs to him, in fact she lied so that she can ease her husband's pain at the thought of losing their son. Decim gave the wrong verdict...

Not a promising start for me. Decim has about as much personality as a statue. Another stoic, white-haired protagonist.

Pretty good introduction to what this show is about. It's definitely quite gruesome just from the first episode alone, and i'm looking forward to it. the way the afterlife system works in this bar is super interesting; it tells us a good amount of information on how it works, but it still leaves off some things about it, such as who exactly the characters who work with decim that we see in the end and in the intro, which i'm assuming we'll learn about in the upcoming episodes.

the newlyweds' conflict was really fascinating too. i was surprised on how many twists they had while playing darts with the whole cheating thing.

i don't really have any complaints about this episode but it wasn't absolutely breathtaking so i'll give it a solid 4 stars.

A crazy first episode with some tragic moments. Its sad to see the guys suspicions to be true.

The animation is pretty good along with the white haired man Dedim being an interesting character.

Picking this series back up after having previously dropped it within the first 5 episodes, and at first I wondered why I had even dropped it in the first place, but by the end of the episode I remembered. The fact that so many people argue that she went to hell "bc she cheated" when she was clearly a MUCH better person than him and decided to sacrifice herself for his sake. Can't imagine defending a dude who would literally attempt to provoke her to have a miscarriage over the mere SUSPICION of an affair.

Okay, I understand your view on the characters and their respective situations and deserved fates in that episode. I've seen the series all the way through, but don't have strong feelings on this particular situation and these characters either way, but yours seems like a perfectly logical and understandable reaction and position to hold.

But something here doesn't make sense to me at all. Why would random individual viewers' opinions of the show, including on the characters' actions and their deserved outcomes, cause you to drop the show itself? The creator and writer aren't the fans and they aren't anyone in the audience. In the first place, if there's any amount of ambiguity as to the future awaiting those characters to the point where it has to be questioned and debated at all among fans because there isn't an explicit clear-cut answer given, then the person or team writing the show probably saw fit to keep it ambiguous and open-ended enough so some degree of nuance could exist and fans could "choose their own ending" and interpret it as they will. They themselves might have had a particular end in mind or heavily favored one side, but didn't see fit to ram it through in a gaudy and showy way, and went for the more understated approach.

Why would you disavow a show solely due to disagreeing with some of the other people watching it on the things that happen in it?

Hiii I appreciate the response. As of the moment of typing out that comment I had just finished the first episode, so I might have been come off a little strong. I have since then finished the series and gave it a score of 7/10.

I think what you understood is that I dropped it after rewatching the first episode bc lf the audience's reaction, which I didn't. For starters, I'm aware that it would've been weird for me to judge the material based on everyone else's response. I didn't, though I can see how it came off that way and I do think that the resolution for ep1 wasn't perfectly executed either.

At the time, I thought it muddied the end result to make it so that she did cheat. Giving her that one fatal flaw made it possible for male fans to gnaw at her like she deserved it in the end, which is what often happens with female characters. They did correct this in ep2 tho and I understand they wanted morally grey characters.
