| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode. Really liked the way the game was setup this time especially in regards with arcade game gimmicks. Loved the competition-like atmosphere of the episode though. The thrills of the episode could be reflected from that woman's point of view. Not hard to imagine what she's feeling after realizing where she is now. There's also that sense of guilt in the air... The feels of this episode was pretty strong. Really loved the way it handled the emotions with shifting balance. |
 |
| Damn .. I want to see a game with two males already... (Best friends) |
 |
| Why has the woman been sent to hell? I don't get it |

| The MILF's situation was definitely more complicated than Yousuke's but they both made bad decisions in life I felt bad and didn't feel bad for both of them at the same time |
| Good episode 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I was expecting them both to go to hell since the last episode had them going to heaven. Even though both had bad lives I guess its while you're playing the game that decides where you will go. The arbiter said something about drawing out the darkness so I guess whoever has the most darkness goes to hell regardless of how bad their life was. I think this episode proves that you don't have to know each other before you die and that you just get paired for the game |
| So the guy is sent for reincarnation while the woman is going to the void. I can see why. |
 |
| Such an emotional episode. :'( It remeinded A LOT of the original movie, though. Kind of expected that the woman would go to hell. :/ But, still, I feel bad for her. |
 |
| I hoped the woman to go to heaven, but it' wasn't that easy, I guess. She didn't treat her children well. Sure, it's not easy, because she was in a bad situation, but wasn't good to treat her children like that. I don't understand why the boy committed suicide. |
 |
| Damn! I teared up at the end T^T WTH did Misaki go to the void? Well she seemed to be quite the bitch to everyone other than her children but that was just sad :( She was just used throughout her life. Yousuke was the useless one in society and he even killed himself. He doesn't really deserve reincarnation tbh <_< Well the beginning of his life sucked quite a bit. He's the one who decided to ignore his mother. He could've had quite a happy life. Decim was quite mindf***ed at the end there. Human's can be really complex creatures. Loved the scene when he hugged both of them. Which really surprised me sending Misaki to the void. Also this ep proves that the people dying don't have to know eachother or be at the same place :O Finally next ep we'll be getting some of the characters in the OP. |
 |
| I want to have a game with Tachiki as the announcer. Great episode. |
| Wow, this show sure is ruthless. Now I'm just hoping that we do end up with some sort of overarching plot, but I can tolerate its episodicness just fine. |
| Damn that was so sad. I don't know if I'd accept a simple "You've done well" after such a life and such death. |
 |
| Why are they always judging people in pairs? And how come it's always been a male and female thus far? That dude isn't even sure whether he judges them correctly or not either. Who the fuck hired that guy? These episodes are getting repetitive as well, I expected more than this. |
 |
| The feels man. The feels! So the woman was being a bitch because she went through a lot and the guy was a regular nerd whos parents divorced and his dad started living with another woman. The woman was murdered but the guy commited suicide. In the end the woman got sent to the void but that guy to reincarnation. I wonder what kind of characters will apear in the show later on. This show is so awesome! 10/10 Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Wow. That episode was really intense and sad. At the end I really had to shed a tear because both realized how precious life is. I can understand that the woman is sent to the void because she harmed others, as well as her children. Although she loves them, it might have been too late. |
 |
| The names of those moves were funny, particularly on Yousuke's side. Love Figurine Upper, Shrine Pilgrimage Attack, Blu-ray Phalanx. XD Pretty sure Yousuke was actually trying to win on the second round too. Either it's because gamer otaku like him hates to lose or to confirm certain victory out of 3 rounds. The moment Misaki began beating up Yosuke, it reminded me of the OVA episode where the young guy also beat up the old man in fear of losing. Afterwards, she felt guilty in the same way too. I was hoping both of them would be sent to reincarnation. Yousuke couldn't keep a simple request and was pretty worthless. His cause of suicide is unknown as well. Probably because he was divorced? Misaki on the other side took too many chances with people and got deceived. It didn't seem like she loved her children that much either. But since they realized their mistakes by the end, I think reincarnation is deserving for both of them. Decim says he brings out the dark side of the human souls, but I wonder if there'll be a case where he fails and misjudges terribly. Since arbiters can also make mistakes too. Great episode. Hyped for the new characters incoming next week! (^^) |
 |
| It seems as Decim's judging is getting shitty again, even tho the little boss girl warned him about this a couple of episodes earlier. No way the woman was supposed to be sent to hell, and the otaku fucker got the heaven spot, who killed himself out of nothing. Decim fucked up again. |
 |
decim was such a gentleman at the end |
| Such a great episode. I couldn't really hold back when Yousuke expressed his regret. |

| I feel like Decim was very harsh in this episode and he took it too far. |
| OMG THE BEST EPISODE YET. Made me shed a tear :( |
 |
| That hug at the end. Just before the elevator doors completely close, the one to go to hell, just has to look up and have a slight difference in expression.. LeosApathy said: Why are they always judging people in pairs? Not sure when it was explained, but Decim said that when two people die at the same time, they go to Queen Decim to be judged. |
 "Later on, you will become a lively person causing headaches as the shrine-god." |

(^^) He already did. First episode, remember? I know. I meant as in Decim using his device and still failing. In first episode, Decim was misled by Machiko purposely acting guilty, which you can't really consider to be the dark side of a human soul. |
|
| Oh just getting to know their past really is emotional, I don't know about you guys but who went to who is an enigma, make all the assumption you want, bottom line is that it is an open question as to whom goes to hell and who get's reincarnated. |
| This gave me more feels than latest Shigatsu episode, that's quite something. Also this one was so hard to judge, could have gone either way for both of them in my opinion, i wouldn't blame Decim of failing again. |

|
| Very great episode the ending was very sad and intense. For him to say she had done well and still send her to hell I just don't understand that judgement. I felt like she should have gotten a second chance. |

Shaniyaz said: I was hoping both of them would be sent to reincarnation. Yousuke couldn't keep a simple request and was pretty worthless. His cause of suicide is unknown as well. Probably because he was divorced? He wasn't divorced. You're confusing Yousuke with his father, Yousuke was standing at the door while his parents got divorced. That's why he couldn't call his stepmother "mom" as he didn't really see her as his mother even though his real mother hated him. |
| Man that episode was the most emotional one yet On one hand we have the woman who was used sexually and heavily abused by every man in her life with 5 kids to take care of and then the otaku boy who was abused, neglected and abandoned by his mother. I must say that I really like how realistic this series gets because the situation with both persons really does happen in real life but what really impressed me is that this show isn't afraid to tackle serious things like Abuse, Depression and Suicide In the end I felt really bad for both of them and although I don't agree with suicide, I get the feeling of depression that suicide victims commonly have....Personally I feel more bad for the woman because the kid had two adults that cared for him whereas the wife always lost in life and was taken advantage of However, the woman's actions during the game ever showed that all that abuse she received messed her up and we know this because it seems like she was kind of a bad mom as time progressed and then there's her mistreatment of other people that of which then obviously got her killed....Regardless of this, in the end everything she did was for her kids so that alone makes me sympathize with her even more....I really am sorry to see that she got murdered too, she didn't deserve that If the two persons had to go to one place or the other then I would have accepted this verdict hut now that we know that both players can go to the same place I have mixed feelings about the verdict, but what's done is done and in the end her faults outweighed the boy I guess but I would have gave them both another chance because it's not their fault for why they are the way they are |

| Hmm I was really conflicted when I saw the woman go to the void. She had a pretty hard life compared to the male, not insinuating that his life was easy it was also difficult but she went through physical abuse which can really mess people up. Sure she seemed wicked but I think that originated from her abuse more than anything. Maybe she never planned to get pregnant from those who abused her but had the children anyway even though the father was violent and probably wasn't there most of the time. I can empathize with her and her struggles actually. All she knew was abuse, after awhile it made her turn violent as well. Not an excuse for her, just an explanation |
 |
| I can't believe the otaku Yousuke committed suicide. What about all the seasonal anime that are airing? _YG_ said: Damn .. I want to see a game with two males already... (Best friends) Go watch "Death Billiards" then. |

BenMS said: Hikarusuke said: Very great episode the ending was very sad and intense. For him to say she had done well and still send her to hell I just don't understand that judgement. I felt like she should have gotten a second chance. I guess he meant to say both had done well by laying bare their actions and reasonings, thus their true souls. Not complimenting on what they are or how they did in life. So your saying like they just lived their life and just dealt with the outcome? I can understand that a lil but I still think she should have gotten a second chance especially her kids. |

No way the woman was supposed to be sent to hell, and the otaku fucker got the heaven spot, who killed himself out of nothing. Decim fucked up again. Hearing your mom not only say that she wishes you weren't born but to mean every word of it can really fuck up someone and he was a little boy too when this happened Depression is a serious thing and I don't condone suicide at all but a child should never have to go through that....I just wish that he could have seen that somebody did love him before he ended his life |
| This show is too good. Just sayin'. Every episode is great and different in some way. Every story surrounding the "players" are interesting, in my opinion, and I really like they way they present them. Small snippets of memory at a time to slowly give you an idea of what's going on. And yea, so far I've gotten very emotional from every single game they've played. Love it. It would be nice to see some of the other characters found in the OP now though. It's about time for that. |
| I thought this show might go downhill with the pair of the week format but this episode was the best as of yet so that's definitely not the case. |
| your waifu is shit |

|
| The woman was sent to hell only because if you compare her sins to Yousuke... there obviously is a big difference |
