| I want the piano girl to get a background history now. |
| Decim and Nona are so amusing to watch.I really want to know what Nona is planning. Oculus has some creepy aura around him.His eyes might be big part of it. Oh, and Decim's ''hobby'' is great.Hopefully nothing will happen to him in future. |
 |
| this show is defying all expectations. I expected a episodic type of show... |

| Hm a rather mysterious episode. Interesting to see what happens from here.. |

vodall said: Undeniably the best episode yet, but I'm not sure if there's enough time for the arc. Why wasn't the series like this from the first episode? The first 6 episodes were pretty pointless.. The pacing is pretty shit. It's like they do episodes like this that are just giant infodumps and alternate them with pointless game episodes. Just use the games to expand the story and world, it's not that hard, every good story manages it. This is a good show with the potential to have been a great show but it seems like each episode was done by a separate person and no one worked together to make a coherent end product. |
| Quality Queen. |
| Why didn't they show the idol guy? he was already judged and sent off off-screen? |
| I like that this is episodic yet there's still some overarching information, character development, etc. It makes it really interesting. Background info is always nice, and when they were talking about a dummy with feelings...they didn't mean Decim did they? I mean, he's very different from the others, but I feel like I'm forgetting something that would that impossible... Oh well. Next episode ^-^ |

| Ginti most likely doesn't understand Mayu and because of that has no idea what the heck to do with her.. I think he wants to understand why she did what she did during the game. Or why it is that Decim keeps a human around. might have to do also with the fact that she didn't care/mope or was even shocked (she was just surprised with how she died lol) about dying. So Decim is Nona's experiment.. interesting Can arbitators gain emotions? Ginti getting that headache may be sign of that.. or that he's having hesitations about judging. |
| another amazing episode, especially since we got some background info on decim-Nona seems to have special plans for him. I'm really curious about Onna having the same dream over and over, especially since the dream is about the book Nona is always reading. |
 |
| Seems like Ginti was to soft to judge that girl after he saw what she was going through in the last episode and what happen with the guy that was with her did he get judge already without we knowing, and also it seems like the Black-Haired Woman is starting to get her memories back bit by bit and is remembering that she is actually dead, Oculus also seems to be getting specious of Nona he might actual find out what she's plotting sooner or later, I can't wait to see what happens next Well till next time. |

| Already 7 episodes in and we still don't have a properly explored setting, a sense of actual progression or decent characterization for our recurring cast. Not to mention the game novelty is wearing thin.... this show is slowly slipping into mediocrity territory. "they cannot experience emotions, because they are dummies" that's the most contradictory statement so far seeing that the red head is bursting with bombastic 1 note emotions... who the hell is responsible for this idiotic script? Yea Decim is surely a walking "self insert" character but Ginti is a quirky ass archetype. |

| Decim is so adorable. I love him! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| lots of info given out, but still felt like a slow episode >< but wow nona put human emotions in decim?? that explains soo much actually. and onna remembers being human... does she realize she should have gone to the void/heaven a while ago and she's not supposed to be there at all? did she keep quiet bc she doesn't want to die? i wonder if she'll get punished for that later.... and why is mayu there lmao. ginti is such a hypocrite omg he was all up in decim's face about how he needs to hurry up and judge onna and now he cant get rid of mayu xD maybe it's bc she sacrificed herself...? he looked pretty surprised about that. but wouldn't that just mean she'd get sent to heaven? idek anymore things look screwed up... people are dying too quickly apparently. i wonder why that's so significant :o and nona's messing around with decim again, she sent him some "special people". super excited for the next episode now, i think it's gonna be good :D |
 |
| The whole no emotions thing is weird since Ginti and Quin clearly have emotions. It seems to me that it's more about being able to feel something for humans (ginti clearly doesn't care about them) than "not having emotions" m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: :/ sinking the pool balls is supposed to damage the other player's respective organs. they werent screaming out in pain like in Death Billiards. It wasn't like that in Death Billards either, it was the guy imagination due to the way he died. It was said in the episode and you could notice that the old man was never damaged by the game. LeosApathy said: Take for example the chick with the one eye who takes care of doing exactly what with memories? Putting them together and then what. They send those memories to the arbiters, it was said in previous episodes. Also she doesn't have 1 eye, it's just the device they use for work as others in the same place as her seemed to have it. |

| Nice to get some background info on Decim and how he took over the previous Arbiter. Decim got an interesting hobby. Onna beginning to remember things. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| So what I'm understanding is that Ginti feels unable to pass judgement on Mayu because she didn't display the - quote unquote - "deepest darkness" of her soul during the game, having chosen to sacrifice herself immediately instead of be selfish and want to win. So now we have two humans the arbiters were unable to pass judgment on hanging around the arbiters. Things are going to get complicated around here. |
 |
| Hmm... Another plot driving episode, exited to see how the story will finally turn out. |

| This is getting better and better. Might end up 9/10 for me. Tokoya said: Great character development in this episode You mean ''fleshing out'' |

| Decim displaying human emotions while he passes judgement. Onna finding out his hobby. He does treasure every person who lived a full life. Quin a former aribiters must separate memories for aribiters : 0 Decim's hardest guest next week? |
HybridMBL said: This was bothering me the entire episode. The beginning clearly demonstrated how unique he is among the arbiters, I feel like there's definitely something there..They emphasize in this episode the 3 rules of the Arbiters including how they're not supposed to have emotions but how do you explain Ginti? Does the rule mean lack of empathy? |

Does the rule mean lack of empathy? I think like someone above said, they meant empathy for humans, which Ginti lacks, while Decim has, as shown in the flashback. Though I suspect, that he wasn't able to judge Maiyu because he cares for her, for some reason. |

hrs42 said: maybe Ginti can't judge Mayu cuz he's so tsundere for her >:D nah, and I wonder what happened to the boy |

 |
| Nice character development (Y) Next episode "Death Rally". I wonder what game they will play*_* |
| ^Since the word 'Rally' was used, I'm guessing something like Table Tennis. Another great episode. Knowing Decim's hobby and the reasons behind it, his obession with dummies isn't as weird as it was made out to be before. Pretty nice tribute I have to say. =D Kurokami now realises that she's dead after seeing the Chavvot book in her room, but she didn't seem too shocked about it surprisingly. Nona does indeed seem to be under pressure now. I wonder what the guests being sent to Decim will be like. She really likes to test him to the max alright. ^^; And let's not forget about poor Ginti, who has his hands full with our new tsundere resident Mayu. Poor guy needs some help already, lol. |
| Great episode overall. Guess the purpose of it was for character development and it succeeded in that regard. Let's see if Nona's handpicked guys actually do pose a challenge for Decim. |
 |
| So Sona is planing on doing something. Also, what happened to the idol guy? |
| Quin was the previous arbiter of Quindecim. Replaced by Decim who's really impressive in his job up until now. So that's what those dummies were. Decim keeps them so that they won't be forgotten. That's a pretty good explanation considering that most of the dummies are either good or bad from their past. It's a pretty good past time if your an arbiter of the dead. Next episode will be back to the arbiter business. |
| At least Onna knows that she's already dead. Next is, we all need to know what's the cause of Onna's death. >.< |
 |
| Loved Decim's face expressions in this one. The VA whoever it is, perfectly fits his appearance and character. |
| 5/5 |
| I am trying to make sense of all the info that spouted from this episode and now the arbiters seem like some form of AI. They have self-awareness and with experience they learn to judge the world. Next logical step is to challenge the system they are in as they obviously work almost like slaves - they can't stop judging (they are forced to?) Oculus appears to be different from arbiters because of his eyes and he seems to be quite nonchalant about how things are developing, which leaves the most intelligent or experienced Nona to do something about the system. My guess is that putting Ginti next to Decim is to highlight the difference between someone who judges without emotional links and someone who doesn't - both are ways to judge though. Stretched prediction is that Decim will develop feelings and will have to judge Onna based on them, still curious to see what will happen. WOw, next time we have murderers, that's why they were special... |
| It's ironic that the only one with a human soul seems heartless. Ginti was hilarious as always but his attitude is annoying. Noticed that the 'flower head' as Quin delicately put it has normal eyes, meaning that he isn't a dummy but a human or a god at that. |
 |
| Great episode! So glad Mayu's still around, awww her and Ginti are so cute/funny he's still as grumpy as ever xD So Onna knows she's dead, I wonder when we'll find out the cause of her death. I love how Onna didn't know how to react when Decim showed her the dummy cause she asked what he tresures. xD Onna & Decim's interactions are so great :3 |
| this episode was perfect, at least for me moar background story please |
| I find Ginti's intensity of character rather exasperating. I wonder how someone like him is seen fit to be an arbitrer. Any little thing makes him lose his temper. |

| that scene where decim was eating the sandwich onna made was so unbelievably cute, it's possibly even cuter than cute girls doing cute things :) it was nice to get a little more background info on decim, which is always good. otherwise, despite the development, this episode felt sort of slow compared to the last episode, which was amazing. |

They seem somewhat reptilian to me. Like a serpent. |
| Another epic episode, it each episode gets more audacious than the previous. The way this is going, hope it gets an awesome ending that keeps up with the story so far. |
| So they even get their name from Nona. Lol Ginti is stuck with Mayu! hahaha looking forward to see more of them! :) I have this feeling that Decim does remember of his "guests"...I wonder why Nona is choosing the people to send to him. |
 |
| Great episode, without judgment this week, but were explained more some parts of the plot and it also appears that there is a portent of problems, two people can not be judged are still attached to the judges This anime shows a very good suspense, even a quiet episode as it becomes exciting .. |
  |
| Very good episode. 5/5 I guess that main plot is about change system in this tower. |
