Well damn. I also see that Kiriko is in this episode

One of the characters also seems to have a double personality...seems weird to me. So many masks.

It was a slow-paced yet decent episode. That city of the dead was beautiful. The series is getting interesting more and more. Looking forward to next episode.

Those visuals are so colorful. Even though it's called "The city of dead" it still looks amazing :o
That double sided dude look kinda creepy. This series is becoming more interesting.
And as usual Ai is so damn cute :3

Love the ED OST !!!

Journey begins with the two like a family around the world that only keeps the deaths that abhors Hakamoris. Meeting a blue hair boy (Kakkii's character?), who wants to escape to a town called Orutas, which is a country with deaths that hate Hakamori. lol~ Male and Female mixed together? Entering probably is really not good for Hakamori? The guy with Lion mask (Kimura-san?) telling her to get out. The princess that the blue hair guy is "adoring" (lol) has her face covered with cord around her??

Love the scenery. Ai was so cute with the fox mask. Red haired guy noticed she was from outside city and even warned her. There must be more living people in the city though, like the princess and Kiriko...really looking forward to next episode!

Dammit, I still can't get over Hampnie's death, rarely cry while watching anime but bitch tears came out then. Nevertheless it was a good episode, new characters were introduced and the half guy half girl was entertaining.

ahhh, the colors. still beautiful. (shh, after four episodes i still think it looks pretty.)

that woman-man-hybrid was a bit weird. but it was so adorable how ai wanted to shake hands with both of them :3

and it's a bit sad that we already know how the red-haired guy and the princess look like because of the op. i know it's totally normal to show all characters in the op, but it always bothers me, especially when their first appearance includes a mask /sigh

but why do they have to wear masks in that town? i think i missed something...

Another good episode. I thought everything would be downhill from now on without Hampnie but surprisingly I still find this series really interesting. Everything just looks so nice in this series and I'm really liking that OST. The city of the dead is pretty cool as well.

Even without Kizuna, this series is really fascinating to me. It's kinda like Angel Beats meets Spice + Wolf (in a really weird anime mash-up).

It's got me hooked for the long haul.

They introduced some new characters though so I'll see how it goes. But man, that wo/man creature was creepy O.o Respect for Ai for actually calling THAT "human" xD

Just wanna add this comment too.. Ai is so cute in this episode. I'm starting to like her. Always curious and friendly. :)
I really thought before they went inside the Ortus.. it's very dirty and messy but LOL, I was wrong :D
I wonder who's that red-headed guy o.o

Glad to see that it didn't go downhill. I was really afraid that this will become boring but glad I was wrong :D

The world building this ep was really interesting and intrigued me quite a bit. Loved the city. Really looked Beautiful.

Ai's curiosity is really cute. And how she shaked both the commanders hands was so adorable. Lol'd at his/her reaction of her being cute XD

But really Wth is with that commander O_O Pretty unique. I don't think I've ever seen a character like that before hehe.

Well in any case this is still my fav series of the season :)

Another really strong episode.

About the only thing bad one can say about this episode (and series overall) is that it is moving extremely fast, but that is hardly a complaint because the show is doing the best it can in covering so much territory. Despite wanting more details, there hasn't been any wasted space, so about the only thing I could wish for was for this team to have twice the time to cover the same material.

No real comments, have some suspicions - particularly about the similarity between Ai and the Princess, but I will have to wait until next week to see if this is developed. Very enjoyable, definitely a top five for this season.

Speaking of which, has anyone else ever looked at the upcoming season thread and thought "huh, nothing that really strikes my fancy this cour", and then before you know it you are hooked on a half dozen shows? That is this season in a nutshell. A little bit of everything, lots of it done really well.

Surprisingly, the series is getting more and more interesting. That dual person looks creepy though. But the city with the mask people is cool. The mask reminds me of Hotarubi no Mori e movie. And when Kiriko spoke, the 1st thing that came to my mind is Shino of Hakkenden!

Oh, Ai's father is dead but he is still in the OP....

I just checked what studio is making this series because of the beautiful character design and visuals. And damn, it's Madhouse. Hehe, no wonder....

Since that night I saw the 1st episode because I couldn't sleep, I already knew this show was a contender to AOTS.
And it has been proven with this new arc being very good, although I doubt we'll got something stronger than the final of the first arc, unless...

Ai's mother is in the OP too and she has been dead since before the beginning of the show.

I personally like the direction this show is taking and I hope it will end being at least a two cour series

hmm, a city filled with "zombies". probably not the best place to be (especially when you are a gravedigger, where did logic go?).

this new arc seems promising, but I doubt that it is going to be any better than the first arc.

I absolutly adore the world this series is creating, i already liked the premise but man was ortus such a interesting thing to look at. As others have said im really relieved to see this series is still very interesting even after hambart, though his death will likley be the high point of the series

Still these first 4 episodes have set the bar very high for this series. From its original premise, beautiful artwork, creative world, fantastic ost, and character im really starting to love this really has the most potential to be a favorite of mine this year. Ill still keep my expectations in check so it wont lead to dissapointment.

Really? cause the pacing this episode was pretty slow, if this is covering alot of ground than i cant imagine how slow the source material must have been

This episode was a bit slowed paced, but at least a new character was introduced, also I wasn't expecting that male-female combo Pox and Rex, I wonder how they use the bathroom o.O. But I also do wonder who that red hair guy is at the end, and I also want to know more about Ulla.

I was thinking more along the lines of explanation. In the first 3 episodes we went from: Ai meets father, father kills everyone she knows, Ai follows father, Ai forgives father, father learns his world view is wrong, father beats Ai, Yuri tries to kill father, farther says he is immortal, father saves Ai (twice), Yuri forgives father, Ai rescues father, father gives up immortality, Ai spends day with dead father, father ends up being buried.

That's a lot to happen and absorb, together with world building, I would have loved for this to have developed a little slower (you can put other things in to make the pacing work). This episode the whole finding Kiriko, his accepting them was also pretty quick, and then the whole city. But as I said above, its a small complaint. The show is enjoyable as it is, and as the old saying goes, you should always leave them wanting more. I am going to buy the light novels to see what I am missing, unfortunately the first one is out at the moment :-(
