Security in the castle is pretty loose huh... It seems quite easy for a little girl to get to the ceremony location. Guess it is also pretty straightforward to navigate inside the complex lol
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Interesting episode. Kiriko and Ulla are definitely hiding something. And I think the red-haired guy will play an important part on the next episode.

I like the premises of this show, I like the art, I like the ost.....this show would be so much better without this main character...she is so annoying to watch....She's almost the sole reason why I am considering dropping the show. But since I heard this is a thirteen episode show, I might as well stick with it.

I like the city of Ortus, it's really a dark place when you think about it, and their princess is adorable, or seemingly adorable. We will see in the future her true nature, but I like her. I don't know how I feel about the hundreds of people willing to kill themselves to get into the city, but if they choose it than they should allow to choose. I don't know why the MC get her panty in a bunch for the most randoms things.

So i guess the princess plays the role of he goddess of their down by killing people with her eyes and speech or something?

I am still on the fence about the protagonist.

Btw that witch was some serious hot stuff.

hopefully they explain why the mc is a 12-yr girl

Wasn't that because it was further proof that she wasn't normal and some gravekeeper/human hybrid otherwise she couldn't have been so young??



totally my bad, i can see how anyone can misinterpret what i was trying to ask. i meant that hopefully the writer would show why the mc should be a 12 yr old girl. alot of char in this anime is not normal. why did she need to be a hybrid? is it because she has to have the flaw of not being able to tell apart whos living or whos dead? why did she not to be able to tell who is living or dead? more than probably later in this anime (i have not read any of the LN/manga) it will explain all of these. but if shes a hybrid just so she doesnt know the dead from the living, then its just a simple cop-out explanation. there's gotta more to it (and im pretty sure it will be explained later) but that doesnt mean its not annoying right now (as of this epi)

i actually like the portrayal of a 12 yr old kid. the reckless, impulsive actions that she doesnt know what "danger" is, is very realistic. but if the writer just picked that type of MC just so the story would move forward where she gets into crazy situation because shes a kid who doesnt know better, then thats just a major fail in my opinion. it would be a waste of a good premise and promising plot.

this is also where the flaw in julie D's character comes in. come on, shes 12, take better care of her! she just ran out of the house, couldnt catch a 12 yr old? a city of million that will kill a gravekeeper on sight, lets go in anyway just because the 12 yr says "because i want to".

but like i said, its early in the series. im 99% sure everything will be explained


I agree with this. I have similar reservation.

It wasn't fast paced or anything but I'm really loving this anime. I don't really see the problem with the young mc either, it's not like shes overly obnoxious or annoying or anything. It's nice to have something different instead of maybe a 16 year old or so mc where unnecessary romance would probably be thrown in.


The main reason that I see: It makes everything all the more creepier.

kiriko and the princess are really cute :3
and it seems like their stories get really interesting.

i also thought the ending was pretty sad:
"a ceremony to accept the living, right?"
"yes. a group of 105 living people wants to move into ortus because they have lost their way of life. tonight, they'll be put to rest."
"are you going to kill them?"
"that's right."

but why do people want to die in that world? atm it doesn't really make a difference if you're dead or alive. you may slowly rot and everything, but the doctor said she's able to stop it (or slow it down?), so why does that group of people want to die? is it just to live in that city? or what do they mean exactly with "lost their way of life"? i think i missed something...


To quote my best friend when we watched this: You have to respect one's desire to control their own destiny.

Oh dear, did Kiriko gave Ai a bitch slap?

Now, how can that Ulla princess see with both eyes patched up?


Ai baka, you just have no idea of what Ulla is doing.


DIdn't the purple haired teenager do something with her hand so e could communicate with her?

I am glad I endured through first three episodes. Cause Ortus arc feels like wholy different anime. I like its atmosphere and the situation of dead in that city. And Ai running around carelessly with danger everywher - it was almost chilling. But I also sense some sort of uneasiness about main characters, something bad will happen to them and soon.

I'm not finding the MC annoying one bit, she's different from the typical annoying kids that ask retarded questions like "why are people so mean?" Not even the "girl talk" between Ai and Ulla annoyed me, and I get annoyed by 95% of those. I don't feel that the pacing is too fast either, it's perfect to me.

How didn't Yuri catch up with Ai when he ran out of the room? He was like 5 feet behind her.

And wow, even I felt a slight shock when 105 people wanted to give up living.

This show tries to be deep but I can't take it seriously because a grown-ass man can't even stop a 12 year old and he follows her every little whim. Whatever lol.

i gotta say the concept for this anime is so amazing, and the storyline is general love the who phantom pregnancy thing the women experience now that gos has abandoned them, also the whole city is DARK i mean seriously people coming here to die because they have lost their way in life D: so chilling and sad, i agree that these concepts could be pressed in more detail and go deeper, rather than just skip lightly over them all... would make it SO much better

as for the mc i wouldn't say i dislike her, not as annoying as most young female protagonists that i have watched, a little naive and stupid but hey... she's a 12 year old girl that's kinda the point right? her so called guardian is a tad pathetic and should grow a pair, but his backstory was pretty harsh!

Such a cute episode (well, most of it, not the ceremony :S).
Ulla is so cute, I wonder if she actually is aware of what she is doing. I think she is :/

Kiriko's back story is kinda messed up!!!!

I knew that there is something going on with Ulla but I think that she is still a nice girl ^^
Things are really getting interesting!!!!!

I really like the ending song and the transition it makes every ending of the episode :D

Just one more hour and it's Christmas here in my place ^_^ Merry Christmas to all :)))

Now I'll just eat :3

That witch was sexy. The princess of the dead is actually alive. I hope we see her face. I mean why cover it?I wonder if her people know that she is alive. I'm still confused on some things. If you are alive do you still age? When you die do you still age? Do people age at all? Good episode.

What the fuck Ai? After being told not to leave and not to tell your secret, you just left and told your secret!
But I guess it was worth it because Kiriko told Ai that even if he was born because of a sexy witch, he's still dead.

So far, we've met four out of six people of Lap Star or Lacking Pentagram.
This time we meet the Diva/Pox combo, who says Scar has false pregnancy.

Awesome, Ai meets Ulla! (^_^)
Ulla says one must die in order to live. And here's 105 people for an example.
Woah, the princess of the dead is alive.
My only question is how the hell did Ai run faster than Yuri?
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

By the way, does anyone else feel like Dmitriyevich is a really strangely-constructed character? Every time he comes on screen, I just keep noticing the character inconsistencies.


Yeah, it's weird. First, he was best friends with Astin, wanted revenge, calmed down and saved his best friend, and now worries like a doting father to Ai.


Was searching for a post reflecting my thoughts on this. So far, everyone seemed to be brushing over my uncertainties with the past three episodes as though they weren't happening, and though I am finding myself oddly hooked with this anime, I just find a lot of the character development to be completely bizarre and shallow.

As I've already mentioned in the last episode - the atmosphere of this anime is getting very nice especially concerning the last 2 episodes, the soundtrack at the beginning was really good too.
