Mask maker? So Kakkii's character is dead, or rather made of 5 family members by a witch. Two of 5 family members that met in last ep. were actually the male and female mix person. The pairing actually can be switched. Scar is having imaginary pregnancy disease because of the vocies. She met the princess, who cannot talk with that appearance. Ceremony for killing the over 100 alives.

Interesting that the princess is actually one of the living instead of one of the dead.

story and premise is good. alot of moral issues being touched. the characters are just lame. hopefully they explain why the mc is a 12-yr girl, soon and it better have some high value to the overall plot. i just cant stand the logic of kids and dmitriyevich is just an irresponsible adult/guardian. he's probably the reason why his daughter died

^I'm kind of with you about how the mc is a 12-year old girl lol. I guess it's because she fits a certain archetype that I don't really like.

This episode was pretty upbeat, but I guess it's because things are getting serious next episode. Ulla is a really weird name btw. It was interesting to learn about how many women experience pseudo pregnancy after God abandoned them. Ai is really trusting of people, she thinks Ulla doesn't know, but it looks like she's wrong?

It wasn't fast paced or anything but I'm really loving this anime. I don't really see the problem with the young mc either, it's not like shes overly obnoxious or annoying or anything. It's nice to have something different instead of maybe a 16 year old or so mc where unnecessary romance would probably be thrown in.

Hinting romance between Ulla and Kiriko was cute as hell. Even if it is revealed in the opening, I still want Ulla to show her face

This series is starting to grow on me, probably one of my favorite shows of this season

I love where Ai almost takes off her mask, and red haired guy panics. I see no problem with Ai being a 12 years old. It's refreshing to have a younger female mc. She doesn't have to be a perfect character who follows every logic and law of that world. The novel does have subtle romance...don't know if they will show it in the anime. Overall, I enjoyed the episode. i am quite curious about the witch character, I think Hiko mentioned her once. Can't wait for the next episode.

Wasn't that because it was further proof that she wasn't normal and some gravekeeper/human hybrid otherwise she couldn't have been so young??

totally my bad, i can see how anyone can misinterpret what i was trying to ask. i meant that hopefully the writer would show why the mc should be a 12 yr old girl. alot of char in this anime is not normal. why did she need to be a hybrid? is it because she has to have the flaw of not being able to tell apart whos living or whos dead? why did she not to be able to tell who is living or dead? more than probably later in this anime (i have not read any of the LN/manga) it will explain all of these. but if shes a hybrid just so she doesnt know the dead from the living, then its just a simple cop-out explanation. there's gotta more to it (and im pretty sure it will be explained later) but that doesnt mean its not annoying right now (as of this epi)

i actually like the portrayal of a 12 yr old kid. the reckless, impulsive actions that she doesnt know what "danger" is, is very realistic. but if the writer just picked that type of MC just so the story would move forward where she gets into crazy situation because shes a kid who doesnt know better, then thats just a major fail in my opinion. it would be a waste of a good premise and promising plot.

this is also where the flaw in julie D's character comes in. come on, shes 12, take better care of her! she just ran out of the house, couldnt catch a 12 yr old? a city of million that will kill a gravekeeper on sight, lets go in anyway just because the 12 yr says "because i want to".

but like i said, its early in the series. im 99% sure everything will be explained

This show has some pretty interesting ideas, but a lot of its concepts are so shallowly developed that I can't just bring myself to care all that much. It's an enjoyable show, but it severely lacks depth. I just feel like it tells its story too straight.

I really like how this series transitions its ending scenes to its ED. I personally really like the style of ED sequences that flow in with the episode endings.

By the way, does anyone else feel like Dmitriyevich is a really strangely-constructed character? Every time he comes on screen, I just keep noticing the character inconsistencies.

Yeah, it's weird. First, he was best friends with Astin, wanted revenge, calmed down and saved his best friend, and now worries like a doting father to Ai.

Another awesome episode.

The setting of this world is so interesting. I'm loving it.

Kiriko's origin was really messed up...but it was nice knowing why those halfs r like that.

Makes u wonder if there are other types of humans with messed up origins in this world.

Ulla was pretty cute. I wonder what she is though? I'm expecting her to be another mysterious being like Ai and Kiriko and not just a normal living.

The ending was really suspenseful! Can't wait to see what happens nxt.

Yuri has become a lolicon now or he might just be overprotective. Kiriko's backstory was kinda interesting. So Kiriko is 15/16 years old right now, I thought he is 13/14. He can grow up properly even if it's slow so I think it is cool though he might not become as much friends as that he I like Diva's personality. So I am even more interested in those 5 people and the possible combinations.

So the princess can't talk or is it because, her mouth is covered? I loved Ulla x Kiriko moments. It's decided, Kiriko x Ulla is my OTP along with Alis x Ai in this anime.

Finally Hampnie reference. She talked about him and related as well. Another amazing episode. The next episode looks even more promising. I love the ED and OP songs.

Anyone else listens the ED song multiple times as well?

That's exactly what I was thinking, being connected to all of those people, and now they swap their bodies with each other like a stitched up puppet. But it is interesting how he has knowledge though, which could mean that there is a lot more stuff that he knows, but is keeping a secret.

kiriko and the princess are really cute :3
and it seems like their stories get really interesting.

i also thought the ending was pretty sad:
"a ceremony to accept the living, right?"
"yes. a group of 105 living people wants to move into ortus because they have lost their way of life. tonight, they'll be put to rest."
"are you going to kill them?"
"that's right."

but why do people want to die in that world? atm it doesn't really make a difference if you're dead or alive. you may slowly rot and everything, but the doctor said she's able to stop it (or slow it down?), so why does that group of people want to die? is it just to live in that city? or what do they mean exactly with "lost their way of life"? i think i missed something...

Nice backstory episode, explains a bit more about Kiriko so he is not so mysterious anymore.

I hope they have more than one doctor to over a million people. XD.

Lots of other things I thought up whilst watching, good to have an anime that stimulates the mind; and despite all the talk about pregnancy and new methods of reproduction, there is not ecchi or fanservice, so in a way I think this is a more serious anime, more for philosophy. Rather unique. Maybe too deep for some people? But, I like it.

No, the pairing can't be switched as far as we know. The left side of Pox is attached to the right side of Diva, while the right side of Pox is attached to the left side of Rex.

So there's a Rex/Pox hybrid and a Pox/Diva hybrid as two different bodies. They didn't switch the pairing as far as we know.

Goddamnit -.- Ai has like absolutely no sense of danger. She's gonna give me a heart attack (and not just because of how moe she is) one of these days with how much she runs off by herself. I am very interested in learning more about Ulla though, as well as the guy in the lion mask. And that mysterious voice that Scar keeps hearing too. Lol there is just so much more stuff I wanna see.

Wow, I keep getting more interested the deeper this anime travels. I really enjoy Ai. Her innocence and genuine friendliness is refreshing compared to many other female protagonists. Even more back stories revealed... and I too am wondering if 13 episodes will be enough. Perhaps if ratings are well they'll continue on with a season 2...? Ah, we shall see.

The latter. Remember, he used to have a live daughter and a dead wife when they went to this city. If I can recall, both died and that's why he took in Ai.

He could simply being overprotective because he had a daughter and might see her as a daughter.

Maybe because you're wanting a story to be by the start what it's supposed to be by the end. The novel is ongoing since 2010, there's a lot of stuff to come yet, too bad the anime will end out of nowhere, or worse, come up with an alternative ending.
