I only remember it was being stated that she had no name at all.1) It being an absolute rule would be completely irrational, or just short-sided. Even if it was an absolute, how could you choose between these two people who goes to the void? Neither did anything even remotely close to deserve that fate. 2) Onna is there to help Decim better understand what it means to be human, and based off Decim's mannerisms in this new ep, in comparison to the the last two, she seems to be having an effect on him. Whether it's a good, or bad, effect? We'll just have to wait and see. |

| such a heartbreaking episode |

Makaze_no_Moujuu said: I asked myself the same question while watching. Although technically, Mai did get plastic surgery so she could get Miura's attention. Not saying it's THAT bad, but still, that could have been a quote unquote "deciding factor"Even if it was an absolute, how could you choose between these two people who goes to the void? Neither did anything even remotely close to deserve that fate. I still just feel like the purpose of Quindecim was stepped on a bit in this episode. |

Bowling you say? |
 |
| Rather tame episode, I expected it to go crazy but it didn't. It wasn't too interesting but I guess it's good that not every case is the same. |
Jimbe said: kostas66 said: It seems that there is no need of a strong connection.. Just a connection between the two people... Yes, there's no need for a connection. In the OVA (Death Billiards) the 2 people were unrelated That's not completely right. Yes the two men had seemingly never met but they both had a connection to billiards. The old man played it for glory and the young man was playing for fun. Which is something the first episode of the anime lacked. And where the third episode had a small connection with them seeing each other again at her job at the ally. |

| A tear jerker episode... Ugh, anime, why u do dis. |
 |
| What a heartwarming episode! They both deserved a happy ending imo. |
 |
| I cried. This episode, the feels were so real... I can't believe how nice it can be sometimes. The plot twists. I love the romance in this episode. It was amazing. So beautiful life can be. lol Decim u are so bad at making jokes~ 5/5 i love this show. |

| This episode was so beautiful! Its really sad that she had to change herself to look like the other girl to get his attention though :( |
  |
| decim's joke was just...great, totally funny and this episode really explained what each face means i suppose |
| Was on the edge of my seat dreading the bad things to start happening... pleasantly surprised by this ;_; |
FateHero said: I'm a little confused, both of them got reincarnated? I realize they were both good people, but I thought the point of Quindecim was that one of the two people that came in HAD to go to the void. To be honest, I kind of feel like having the ability to be reincarnate both people kind of defeats the point of having arbiters in the first place. Quindecim is a place specially used for deciding the fate of two people that died in the same instant, but unless there are arbiters for different cases, I don't see why it isn't an absolute rule that one gets reincarnated and one goes to the void. I guess there might be, there are other arbiters that don't seem to be involved in Quindecim at all, and at least 14 other floors we don't know what are for yet, but still, I feel like it defeats the purpose. anyway, with that out of the way: what exactly is the new girl's role here, she's supposed to be an arbiter too right? So how come she didn't get the people's memories when they came in? Is it just because she's "in training" or is it something else? On the contrary, if there is always one person out of two that get sent to void, that will be what defeat the purpose of Quindecim. They pit 2 person against each other because that is the bare minimum needed for Quindecim's style of judging human. With only one person, arbiters at Quindecim can't really observe how individuals will interact with others(behavior) So Quindecim is there to judge individuals, not compare two individuals and get rid of the greater evil. On another note, anyone else feel that Onna scoring a strike is a hint that she is actually chisato? |

| Great episode, great couple. Not many misteries but really well done and heart-touching. I hope they could meet in their next life again. Miura-kun is a true man, respects for him. |
 |
| This episode shows that Death Parade can come up with various scenarios that are unusual enough to maintain optimal interest. I'm glad I stuck to this anime. |
| I was so sure it would end badly so that was very unexpected but great episode nonetheless. Hope those masks above the elevators actually indicate where they go. |
 |
Hikarusuke said: Very good episode. Both of them deserved a reincarnation they were both honest about everything. One thing I'm confused about though is that girl was Mia right and not the other girl right? Yeah, that was Mai, not Chisato. She had plastic surgery to look like Chisato (but no one knows whether she looked like the real Chisato or not) |
VanishingKira said: At first I thought the girl was transgender,but since that seemed unlikely also had a feeling that the girl wasn't who she said she was. Duuuuudeee |
| That was a beautiful episode! So much feeling and touching moments. |
| Wait wat? This show is allowed to have happy feels endings? Well damn that felt good. Episode was easy to understand, and I assume it'll stay that way from now on since ep.2 was the info dump. The only other real question I had about the show after the info dump, was whether or not both participants had the chance to get sent to the same destination. Didn't expect them to answer it the week after, lol. I like that the ED always has like filler stuff to add into the show. Episode 1 had the memories of the wedding and stuff, and this episode had their little date. Thinking back at the beginning of this game, when the memories first appeared; it actually could've been possible to deduce that the girl wasn't Chisato when both of their memories were from the same perspective (both looking at the childhood friend leaving with her mom). Had it actually been Chisato, I would assume her flashbacks would be from her perspective, looking at the guy and the other girl. But...I wasn't smart enough to think about that until it was over... I still always do a double take when I watch the OP. It's like: "yea y'know, when we aren't being arbiters for the souls of the damned in a usually dark, mind break filled scenario, we actually have a kickass time down here. Pretty much on our days off we all dance like crazy, get fucking piss drunk, set up amusement park rides, dance and get turnt some more, then back to work the next day". |
rsc-pl said: 5/5, I almost CRIED! Ps. I want this sondtrack NOW. It is perfect. Ps 2. And this is AOTS for me, great job. One of the only few really good shows produced by Madhouse. Fucking wat? Madhouse makes plenty of really good shows. |
| That was an awesome episode! I was waiting like here we go, one of them is a complete asshole but nope none of them were! :D Seriously though, when they were saying that there was something wrong about her I thought she was going to reveal that she was actually a guy! XD |
 |
| Damn!!! When the guy asked her to go on a date with him right now, I droped a tear or two =D And my Heart couldnt stop beating so fast =D That was a very nice episode! Next one ARCADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Interesting!!! Who knew even after dying, you can still find Happiness =D Edit: I think this anime just let me scream YOLO!!!!! LOL |

| Wow, what a great episode. While it had the dark mysterious atmosphere throughout, there was a tender and touching feeling to it all. Not sure how I feel about the two characters, nor do I know how they truly felt about each other deep inside the heart, but I believe both deserve to go to heaven - reincarnation, nobody did any evil sins. Happiness after death, what a touching feeling this episode gave me. |
 |
| This episode really took a turn from what we've seen until now, especially in Death Billiards. But it was a good move to variate the pace - we were all expecting something tragic to happen. I really want to know what would have happened if they were shown the puppets and thought they play for survival. Without the life threat the game progressed towards a happy ending, but if it was otherwise, would Shigeru lose on purpose? Landos said: Why does this show only do two people? Why not everyone who died in the bus? Things are too convenient for my liking and the choosing of the individuals doesn't make any sense. 7/10. Decent episode but we need more information on how the world works. On the official website they mention more about how souls are paired and sent to the different bars - translation here: http://goo.gl/Cw51aI |
| -Meh, this story wasn't even at the level of the 1st story. If it's not vague enough, it's boring? everything got revealed & ended happily ever after... -well, can't wait for the case where both people go to hell. 7/10 |

| The date they never had when they were alive. Quite touching, really. |
| Can't wait for next week, i'm really enjoying the anime so far! :D |

| wow, this was a great episode, and i liked that it didn't feel as overly dramatic as the other games. i wonder which one is going to the void and which one to reincarnation though, i really can't tell.. |

| RIGHT IN DA FEELS |

| Best episode yet for me, proves how we don't need characters going crazy every episode. Felt really fresh, and delivered some feels. 5/5 |
| Judging from this atmosphere of this ep....maybe next ep will have opposite atmosphere....and both of them are going to send into Void.... |

| Decim saying a joke with his poker face really caught me off guard. XD This was one brilliant episode. I'm glad that both Mai and Shigeru were reincarnated in the end. I was expecting something dark to butt its way into this episode, but thankfully that didn't happen. A definite feels episode indeed. =D |
Kilgore301 said: Ok, so I don't know if this is just going completely over my head here or what, but how do you know where they went? Is there a clear sign saying "Hey! This person's going to the void and this one is going to be reincarnated!"? Well I could tell from the lights when the door closed they both went up but maybe it was something to do with the design of the elevator. |

| Brilliant episode. Love the story here. Better than the previous two. Both of them got reincarnated right? Hopefully they both got to see each other again in next life. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Really nice ep :) It was quite cute although sad... I'm really glad that both can go to reincarnation :D |
| A happy ending?! So I guess it does happen sometimes. |
| I really wonder why do people think void is the worse option :D? |
| Before the mention of plastic surgery I first thought the guys were whispering about her getting pregnant and having an abortion in high school or something.. It would have been interesting to see if something like that would have affected the judgment in any way. o.o Plastic surgery didn't feel like much of a "reveal" in comparison, especially considering that she was a cute girl to begin with as opposed to being very unusual looking to the point of being bullied at school. Or her being a dude. ... I don't know, a cute episode but I do think it could have been more interesting. |
