| I believe the series would be better if they had kept it simple, like Mushishi. The first episode did that and it was great. Now I am feeling like they are going towards a "bigger picture". |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
| This anime sure does love its yandere related deaths. And the way Mayu died... Priceless |
 |
| Slipping... on soap? I liked this episode. It was a big contrast from the rest of the series. |

Now I am feeling like they are going towards a "bigger picture". I wasn't too big on the new direction at first myself, but I'm slowly starting to warm up to it. Especially if the show can vary its stories the way it does without sacrificing said big picture in the process. By the way, that opening is getting more fitting with each episode. |

| I think Mayu would take the same role as the black hair woman for Ginti, as the case for Decim XD |
| By the way, anyone notice that they probably did the whole love shaped bomb thing because it's Valentine's Day? That's what I think at least XD |
| Ginti has the bad attitude I expected xD |
| Wow, this episode had some good comedy in it. I wonder what's gonna happen to the dude. For the girl, I'm guessing she might stay for a while since she's in the opening and because Ginti was surprised to see her act funny even after all that's happened. |
| Stellar anime. Never ceases to peak my interest. |
| Lol dis episode! Yeah and that heart shaped bomb. |
| Show's going to shit again, they didn't even bother showing where each person went. |
 |
| Pretty funny episode, my sides hurts. Not enough Decim tho. |
| Very fun episode. Of course Mayu died in the most ridiculous way. She gave us a lot of fan service this episode. Best episode yet. |
 |
| I was kinda hoping for a C.H.A. ending song |
 |
| Egh... was this fanservice even needed? I mean, I'm not against when series is making fun of itself to prepare the ground for more darker episodes but this was bit over the top I guess. Well, guess I should say unnecesary. Not even showing where each of them was sent but they were both so annoying it would be void for both of them if I could choose. Zankyou no Terror Lisa VA - you were there just for comedy relief at best. Ok, let's safely disregard and forget this episode, it was of no importance anyway. |

| The animation was amazing at points. Didn't expect it to be that silly. |

That's what happens to you when you are in mood to expect a little bit different and better story when you make youself a little time to watch this show. I actually can't say this was all too terrible but at the same time I see this as waste of resources and of one good episode slot that could be put to a lot better use. It was very forgettable part of this show for me. |

Fanservice by definition is unnecessary to the plot, story, character, etc. Well speak for yourself, just because it wasn't serious, doesn't mean it was bad. I and others happen to find this enjoyable and funny, which is the whole reason most people watch anime or any other entertainment medium, and some of us, found it to be the best one. It was very refreshing. So it wasn't a waste at all, especially considering this has been episodic so far, except for 1 or 2 episodes. |

| It wasn't as good as the other episodes, even if the arbiter was Decim, it still wouldn't have changed anything. The new bartender may be blunt but he was interesting and I loved his lazy personality. |

You know, it doesn't help a series a lot when it suddendly throws out lighthearted episode inside of serious business. And in this case it really doesn't matter if this is anime, book or movie it's the same for each medium. Imagine thriller story where its actors starts acting out of character and stops giving a damn about their fear of dying, saying ''Who cares?" half-way through. It would totally ruin immersion, right? And you wouldn't like that, would you? And that's my point. I don't care about little bits of funny catchwords or references, those are actually great to relieve some tension. It just those shouldn't overshadow main theme of the story.

At least this intention was nice and clear out-of-the-box surprise of this part. |

| omg this episode:') I was teary-eyed when Mayu was about to fall but then they showed how she died and i couldn't stop laughing...that was really pathetic death:') I liked how they both handled it when they realized they are dead. Also,this episode was eargasm thanks to Hosoyan and Mamo:* |
| That's a pretty terrible example, and doesn't fit a an episodic TV series. It's not the same, it depends on the particular series, and the format. For example Breaking Bad was srs bz most of the time, but an episode called ''fly'' exists in it, and it's not unnecessary. |
|
| Haha, awesome episode xD At first I didn't really like those two characters, but by the end, I loved both of them xD Ginti was also very funny with his kokeshi doll obsession ^^ |
| Mayu's in the OP. The irony of it all, with Ginti criticizing Decim for not passing judgement on one of his guests. |
 |
| Funny episode. I'd have never thought coming into this series that I'd get episodes like this lol. |

| I never understand why Durarara Sho has a higher score than DP. In terms of depth, emotion and in this episode humor, DP beats it.. |

| didn't think we would get a comedic episode let alone one with the animation being impreissve ended up making Harada look cooler than it should had but oh well so i guess mayu is here to stay? only thing im gonna call out is how on earth that girl got a timed bomb was expecting her to poison him or something but not that lol...mayu's death pls. |

| lolol wtf. was not expecting this, i almost cried i was laughing so hard Mich666 said: well it wasnt completely useless, mayu's in the op after all. she must be important later ontsudecimo said: Well speak for yourself, just because it wasn't serious, doesn't mean it was bad.

| Good episode. I like Decim way better than Ginti. This episode was indeed different, for one it was more cheerful which was a great change of pace. Not unnecessary in any way, with so many people on this earth who act differently, you never know what type of personalities you'll end up with. This time it was two people who led such lifestyles, who had said personalities. I quite liked Mayu for who she was. So I fail to see why it was unnecessary or the worst episode thus far to some ppl. Not every episode has to be dark and twisted in order to make a point. This episode was fine, for what it was trying to do, and it was successful. |

| Good god, Mayu annoyed and I didn't like the idol either, but whatever. I love Decim but Ginti is also very interesting since he's dark and has no sympathy. I still can't believe that they played twister and then the way Mayu died, DEAR GOD XD So many 'what even' moments in this episode. |

| I'm not sure I could live with myself if I died the way Mayu did. wait... |
| So casual about their deaths... and the whole episode being humorous was surprising. o.O Ah, I didn't think this show would contain fanservice though. That is somewhat disappointing. Next episode looks more interesting. |
| Nice Episode :D Really liked how it was different for decim this time. It made it a bit funnier, especially the spikes LMAO That Moment Killed Me xD |
| So, they're not going anywhere yet. And hilarious episode indeed. I think the idol's death was funnier lol. |
| One of my favorite parts of the episode was Memine. I especially like how Ginti chastised Mayu for calling her "the kitty." He says, "Memine. Use her name." Lol I wonder if there is a back story there? Is Memine Ginti's Black Haired Woman? How did she lose her tail and why is her foot bandaged? Not sure why I think about these things :) |
| I loved this episode! I'm pretty sure it's my favorite one so far. I wonder how they got judged. Mayu is in the opening animation, isn't she |

| Love this unpredictably funny episode. Every time I think I've got the series figured out, it throws me some curveballs. Since Mayu is in the OP, she's probably staying as an assistant to Ginti, which probably means Ginti was unable to judge her -- her obsessive fangirling for her idol prevented the game from extracting the dark side of her nature. The idol was tested and passed, so probably reincarnation for him. |
| The way that guy died tho. |
 |
So... Mayu died because slipped herself in the bathroom? And the idol Harada died because of... bomb? My overall impression of this episode  Either: a. The creative team/director was smoking too much weed while drinking too much vodka. b. The creative team/director was too high. c. All of the above. |

Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk. |
| well i wouldn't have expected a death parade episode to make me laugh throughout the whole episode... it was really great! i loved how the two were casual about their deaths lol. and mayu was a pretty funny character! but what happens to these two now, i wonder? |
