i'm actually surprised to see that most of you guys haven't really liked/enjoyed it. i expected the opposite.
At the pace the first episode was written, would you say this will become another trainwreck, like what happened to Devil Survivor 2 The Animation?
as i said, i don't know anything about the novel. i don't even know how many chapters are released atm, so i don't know how much they have/want to animate. it just didn't feel rushed to me at all. it was like an introduction - god abandoned the world, but created the gravekeepers to bury the "dead ones", the white-haired guy killed the whole village and is looking for someone, and the little girl isn't a real gravekeeper apparently. i think it's way too early to say anything about the pace. or at least i'm in no position to judge it.
so let's better wait one or two episodes until you call it a "trainwreck". maybe it'll surprise us :>

Definitely too early to lambast the show.
Whether the pacing felt off or not, it has multiple occasions to redeem itself/improve in the next episode/s.

OST sounds good.

I only read the first chapters of the manga a while ago and I didn't get it, really. The anime makes more sense to me. I feel sorry for Ai, being used by the villagers when she was young so they wouldn't have to worry about taking care of the graves. Pfch. I have no idea where this is going, though. It would be boring if it turned all slice-of-life.

Okay, just watched this episode a few hours ago and I can it was good, but confusing... For one, I'm kind of surprised why Ai would be so happy digging people's graves in the beginning. I understand that the villagers can't die, (well sort of) but I'm pretty sure doing not only burying a loved one, but also doing laborious work of digging that many holes will be kind of saddening, aka not the overly happy loli that I saw. Also the creepy villager that got shot in the middle of the episode, maybe I was tired or something, but I didn't really externally what was wrong with him (internally I understand that he had this creepy pedophilia/rapey vibe). Still it was well animated and definitely has potential. Can't wait to see more so that these things are answered (maybe?).

Meh, not a bad first episode, but I'll stick with it. So far the characters are interesting, but I can't really tell where the story is headed.

I don't know how to feel about this yet. I'm not sure where this is going and the first episode seems really awkward. I feel like it really could have been split into two episodes because I'm not really understanding Ai (let's follow this guy who murdered everyone I know) and the community she lived in as well as I think I should. I just hope that means there's some good things they want to have more time for later.
I'm really digging the OST, though.

Anyway, I find it pretty amusing that everyone's all like, "This Hampnie guy seems cool," considering that he kicked a little girl in the face, but whatever. (ha, ha)

About a quarter of his head was blown off. I guess it was hard to tell for a while because of the annoying little glare censorship-thingy, but eventually you could see the outline of his head when he pulled his hood up.

Not a bad first ep! Didn't seem to rushed to me.

Why are there so many people complaining that they don't understand it so far? It's the first episode; they are going to introduce questions...

This is not a loli show. I am really glad. It just has a loli protagonist and nothing loli-like so far. I really like the plot as well. The male protagonist is also cool. xD He is her father now...or maybe not. This is so mysterious... I think it iss gonna be my favorite soon definitely.

8/10. I am having high expectations!

So this is where all the budget from Hunter X Hunter went to

That anticipated loli abuse. Not going to lie, the scene where Humpty Hamburger blew that old geezer's head off was awesome. Based Madhouse does it again with God Fucked Off On Sunday

Rather unimpressed. Perhaps it will pick up later on, but right now it feels like the writing itself is the problem (along with a so-so execution on Madhouse's part).

Okay episode, I expected it to be like that. Sypnosis seemed interesting to me from the very start and I'm not disappointed by any aspect of this show so far, so I hope it'll continue like that.

The plot seems interesting, but the female lead is annoying though maybe she is the best selling of the anime to the target viewers. I hope she will not ruin the potential of the series.

I was underwhelmed when I looked at the PV so I did not have much expectation. And I have not changed my mind ...

I agree with this. The synopsis is interesting. The novel looks interesting. The adaptation so far... not so much. Maybe it's one of those stories that is better left as a novel. The animation, character design and voice acting are off compared to the settings...

Confused as hell. Unless it explains it later, but what exactly was the Village trying to do? Where they already dead already? (seems like it because the heroine said "You stink" Where they lying to her for a reason/desire?

It was alright. I honestly do not understand why Japanese people feel like they need to shove lolis in everything. How do you expect a 12 year old girl to be hauling dirt for days on end?

But alas, this was somewhat interesting. Were the villagers always undead, hinted by her remark of "You stink" to Anna? And if she is in fact not a gravekeeper, then does that mean that the villagers are still undead?

LN nonreader's theory:
a bunch of (un)dead people in a village (possibly caused by an epidemic), who refuses to rest, incapacitated the local/assigned gravekeeper in their village.. they made use of her shovel, which seems to have divine powers, and made a kid (who may not be her biological daughter) use it, since she's easy to fool anyway, in order to completely eliminate a gravekeeper who would be a threat to them.. however, things didn't last as an agent and another gravekeeper were sent to the village to clean up the mess they made..

anyway, looks totally Madhouse in comparison to the LN art in the ED.. meh.. good enough to watch because i like fantasy settings anyway..

It's not an epidemic. God has forsaken the world (read the title). Thus, no one can die or be born anymore.

I'm on par on this anime after watching the first episode. I don't know, to me it had that good vibe around it, but I still feel sort of uneasy from the story. Or was it the atmosphere? I don't know, but I just feel like not watching it anymore for some reason. Sorry.

Without trolling this is the best Anime of the Season so far.
Madhouse got their shit together and made something good again.

- good ost
- nice visuals
- awesome special effects
- cute lolis
- meh opening
- interesting setting and premise
- humpnie humbert
- ending song is quite good ( even though funny engrish)

5/5 loved it

from what i understood, they can still momentarily die but will not stay dead.. i mean, obviously, that old man got momentarily killed when a part of his head was gone but won't stay dead and can still move after some time.. people don't seem to be immortal after God has forsaken their world.. they just become restless dead or undead after momentarily dying once or however many times thereafter.. what seems to be the job of gravekeepers is to give them rest (and technically kill them completely).. i was trying to look for the easiest way for an entire village to momentarily die without their bodies destroyed, so i thought an epidemic could do it, but of course, it may be other things.. but then, they won't die permanently because no God and no active gravekeeper in sight (we don't count the girl as gravekeeper).. and my theory is basically just riding on what that white-haired guy is saying: that the entire village is deceiving the girl..
