| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool, a new game. New players and this time, they're going with bowling. The way the episode was structured also had a good momentum and I found every play to be tense when it came to bother players' turn. Like the first episode, it had the thrills with the flashbacks. Well timed and overall, I thought the pacing of this episode well done quite well. The feels ;_; |

| It was so heartbreaking watching and thinking that one of the two had to go to the void. I'm so glad that they both got reincarnated |
| Great episode and outcome T.T |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| That was such a healing episode. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| 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? |
 |
| Man...that episode calmed me down so much. Wow. I suppose, Mai got plastic surgery to appeal to him. And she got her wish. |

| Sweat ep :) Nice to know they won't always be Hell and Heaven and we'll be getting some were both can be good people ^^ Nice game though. Having the opponents heart beating in ur bowling ball :O And Decim can actually make a joke :O He took me by surprise with the 5 minute date thing lol XD Onna seems to have gotten used to this ^^ Her interactions with Decim and her smile at the end were nice to see :D |
 |
| It's so nice to see that there is the option of both parties being able to be reincarnated, rather than someone unfairly going to the void like the first couple. I was sad thinking that one of them was going to the void until I saw above the elevator doors. ;o; This was a really good episode Hikarusuke said: One thing I'm confused about though is that girl was Mia right and not the other girl right? Yes. It was merely a misinterpretation of memories that she thought she was Chisato. |
 |
| great episode, really didn't see that ending coming :O I really enjoyd the sort of jazz OST, really nice piece of work. Next week is looking interestng |
| That plot twist at the end really surprised. Really good episode! |
| This was such a nice episode! The feel train has arrived ;_; I was so happy to see that they were both reincarnated. |
 |
| Pretty good episode, though I think episode 2 is the best one so far. I expected some complaining about the show being episodic but I'm glad it's not the case. |
 |
| Didn't really expect such an episode, I've always thought this as a series would be all trickery, cunning and betrayal but this really was a nice change of pace by being honest. To be able to guess what each other is thinking through having bowling balls of each other hearts. Really the fitting game to let the romance blossom, really glad that they are reincarnated, hope they meet each other again! Decin and Onna gets along pretty well too! |
 |
| Was expecting some kind of huge twist to bring the feels down, but was glad that things went this way. Looking forward to this anime so much now :D |
 |
| That was nice having the both of them reincarnated. I thought that one of them had to go to the void, but I guess that's not the case. |
 |
| That bowling environment is awesome , like the episode :) Happy for both players |
| 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. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Decim is a pretty funny guy =) Great episode! |
| Well that surprised me Definitely a welcome development and honestly I enjoyed this more than the first two episodes |
| Goodness, this episode almost made me cry! |
| Fantastic. Brilliant episode. |
| Just need to put a Staples "that was easy" on the red button |
 |
| Nice ep, so I guess we'll never know their fate upon entering the elevators. |
| Decim wins this show. |

| Fantastic episode... very heartwarming. |
| I was very pleased to see both were give the choice of reincarnation after their date. Not all will be gloom and doom in this show it seems. And Decim has a sense of humour, who knew? Fridays with JoJo and Death Parade are perfect. |

| well that was nice no pain during the bowling game or anything just memories very different from the first ep and the ova good to know both are reincarnating so if 2 people can reincarnate i guess we are going to get a ep were 2 people go to the void |
| When Decim asked if 5 minutes was okay lol Both sent to reincarnate ＼(*T▽T*)／ |
 "Later on, you will become a lively person causing headaches as the shrine-god." |
| I did not expect such an episode, just wow. This was actually quite happy lol. All aboard the Decimonna ship~ |
| Maybe next time they'll both be sent to void. |
 |
| What an oddly sweet episode |
| A great episode; heartwarming but not it does not lose the complexity of the previous episodes. |
| your waifu is shit |
| Great episode, glad both of them reincarnated. I liked Decim's joke. |
| Ok episode, but this show thinks that it's really deep. The plastic surgery part added nothing to this story (not even the characters cared about it), and the speech at the end of the episode was laughable. |
 |
| Oh my god ... i can't believe this ... HAHA the way they trolled me.. i was expecting for some twist..horror.. lies... but no.. it was such a friendly atmosphere... and no pain from the game.. WTF DUDE ? hahaha oh and they both got reincarnation ... a tragic love story but still it was pleasant... i hope that they might find themselves again in their new lives... i don't know if i believe in reincarnation or life after death but i do believe if two people are faithed together.. they will find themselves again.. BEST ANIME OF WINTER.... it mindfucks you XD |
| Let the tears flow. It was definitely a really nice episode and like others said, a nice change of pace. I think most of us expected it to always be on the intense and ugly side, but this showed that there are also really good and honest people too. Even though Shigeru remembered everything first, he didn't say anything. At first I thought he looked disappointed because Mai was not Chisato (and that they're dead), but it seems like he was just sad that they're no longer alive. I also thought in the flashback at the bowling alley when Shigeru heard the truth, he was surprised in a bad way, though instead I feel like he was surprised that his childhood friend would get plastic surgery, and maybe felt sympathetic about it since idk, I wouldn't want someone I knew to think that they'd have to plastic surgery to look better when they're fine the way they are. When Mai got her memories back, she didn't even think of lying to Shigeru, and wanted to tell him that she's not actually Chisato. I'm glad it ended well for them, and that they were able to have their first and last date together. But lol, Decim's joke really got me (and everyone in episode). Onna's also pretty funny too because she's so human that it feels like she's expressing my thoughts. Touching, heartbreaking at the end, and a overall a beautiful episode. kokusho36 said: The plastic surgery part added nothing to this story (not even the characters cared about it) You seem like a smart person, but I'll say it anyways. The plastic surgery part does add something to the story. It just so happens that Shigeru didn't mind, but some people would. Also, some people would've just keep quiet about their surgery which would show that they are dishonest and misleading, but instead Mai who is a good person admitted that she wasn't Chisato, that she was Mai. The plastic surgery addition gives you different possible scenarios that this could've went down, but the episode went the good end instead of bad. Also, you might've heard about the man who sued his wife because he found out that she had plastic surgery when he wondered why their kids were not so good looking. She never told him that she had gone under the knife. Just a real life example. |

| Yeah, I had a feeling she was a different person. |
| I liked that much more than the previous episodes, much more tasteful ^^ |
  |

 |
| Truly great 23 min.. Touching, heartwarming and bitter sweet.. Can't wait for the next episode.. |

I was trying to figure out what kind of half-assed commentary the show was trying to make by adding this element XD. |
