...wow. Those last few minutes were incredible. Almost shed some tears even.
At first I didn't really understand why Hambert died when he's supposed to be immortal, but then I remembered one of his lines in the last episode, where he explains his theory that God is granting everyone's wishes.
5/5 episode. God damn is this show's quality a surprise.

20/10!

THE FEELS! SO MUCH FEELS at the end. It was so touching that Hambert found out that Ai was his daughter all the long. I couldn't believed that He died ;__ ; Well at least he died happy like he wished and leave good memories with Ai. Also Scar is much a badass! I wonder what Ai will do after this? I'm pretty sure she might go with Julie Sakuma Dmitriyevich and Scar and continue the adventure or something like that.

Some people are confused so i will explain how i think it is. God never truly left, he just gave people their wish not to die so they would be the walking dead. But then for some reason he gave Humphrie immortality and he would always life (the other eternal people are dead already, while humphrie is still alive, which is the difference) so when Humphrie became happy, god granted his wish (kind of a be careful what you wish for kinda thing). I think they could of explained more and I agree that is a big flaw. I am now curious how they will continue with this. So i suppose she will go around meeting a new story each episode or two and solve some problem. I hope it still has the emotion that it had in this episode.
I do wish this show spent like one more episode to explain the signs in the village that they were already dead and also i would like for an explanation of why he became immortal in the first place, why did God give him immortality. But all in all i still love this series but I will not deny it has some flaws that are pretty big. I need to read the LN now so i can get more explanation.

Wow, that was... so unexpected.

So many twists and turns and weirdness.

I mean, Ai can now DODGE BULLETS... at the last moment... I mean... w..t..f..?

The Immortal has various forms of mental issues and dies permanently. So, now what is the show about?

As for "Hana" it was Ai's mom all along and she is long dead; but that means gravediggers are also mortals, right? Or something like that... I guess eventually Scar will be the last one standing, since she used to be a "reaper".

Anyhow, overall I don't know how to feel. I appreciate the creativity but at some point it just felt like this anime just randomly puts stuff together or makes it up as it goes along.

Especially, I don't see why an Immortal would want to die. Yeah, he doesn't want to be alone? Well they are plenty people in the world and he could have spent much more time with Ai if he had gotten over his mental problems. Think he was worry about things which hadn't become an issue yet.

Didn't see a lot of things coming, and sorta hoped for a bigger 'secret' for the town than "they were all dead anyhow".

...but whatever, it was really unique, I will give it that.

Wow, finally...I saw an anime that made me tear up and cry. It has been a while since that happened. Hell, it's probably the first anime this year to make me tear up.

I'm really looking forward to this series if it can continue to wow me like this through three episodes.

Survivor's guilt?

There is also the problem that Tithonus discovered when be became immortal, I think the author is well aware of this legend.

Scar last one standing? nope ai has that fate since reaper can die too just like humans.
And plenty people in the world?
are you sure about this for 15 years people die and none are born and it is said that each minute or second(?) a person dies, so how many people are still alive in the best case?
once is for sure less then 1 billion for sure.

This is just cruel, having the daughter bury her mother at the age of 7 and when she finally finds her father after 5 years, she has to bury him too T^T

I'm loving this story and setting to death, it's been a while since I've been this enthousiastic about a new anime, oh how I wish the novels would've been translated so I'd be able to read them...

I'm very curious what'll happen from now on though, this episode kind of felt like an ending. The preview showed some new and interesting characters but I sure as hell hope they'll at least survive that episode.

I never go see threads before an episode but I don't know why, I just felt like it for this one. I saw something along the lines of "Why did he have to leave her like that...". Didn't look further after this. I thought he would abandon her or something like that... ... not die! That last part was great, It really was delivered it right.

He wasn't even aware that he had a daughter.
Also anime-style drawn character tend to look like each other but if you look at most daughter-mother pair in real life it isn't as evident.
The way Ai described Hana was how he came to realize that Ai's mother was Hana and on further inspection he found that she possesses some traits similar to her mother but it is still not something that is evident for the character themselves.

Let me start off by saying this I haven't read the manga of this. But there is

something I'm sure about. This anime seems like it skipped a whole lot of

important parts. Also the character development by all the characters seems

rushed. I mean didn't that guy want to duel the immortal guy and now he's

talking about him like he's a special friend? Also unless I missed something,

how the hell did that immortal guy die? Another thing why the hell was the girl

following him in the first place? I mean in all rights she should hate the guy for

killing everyone in the village. I pretty sure she didn't know the people were

already dead, so what was her reason for following the man who killed her

loved ones?

As explained in ep 2, Hampnie and Yuri were old childhood friends and despite Hampnie killing his already dead wife Yuri knew it really had to be done. He didn't start to "seek revenge" until his daughter died and ha had nothing to live for, the revenge being a way to die with purpose. Hampnie skipped out on his duel because he didn't want to kill his best friend. Yuri decided to help Ai save Hampnie because despite everything he knew they were still friends.

As for Ai, they dropped hints that she knew everyone was already dead and that they either just decided not to have her saw that she outright knew or they were trying to subtly convey that she was trying to deny the fact that she knew they were dead. Ai is pretty smart for a 12 year old.

The world isn't black and white, it's gray. Feelings are more complicated than simply liking or hating someone. He knows that what Hambart did was the logically correct thing to do.
Both of them are still childhood friend, they lived and went through a great deal of experience together. He might not be able to forgive Hambart for sending a grave-keepers to bury his wife but he is mature enough to reason that Hambart did it for both of their sake.

He liked him and hated him. He respected him and considered him an enemy, a savior and a friend at the same time.

Flashybrown said:

This is purely speculation but I believe this makes a great deal of sense:
His immortality was granted by God for he wished not to die before finding the woman he loves, Hana. The moment he learned that Hana is Ai's mother and understood that she passed away, he lost all reason to pursue his wish.
Since Hana is dead he cannot meet her again, that's an answer he is content with. At that moment, God's gift fulfilled it's duty and Hambart's immortality was lifted.
Hambart was supposed to be dead since long ago.
If you do not mind a RPG analogy then Hambart was a character with 0 HP that was still alive due to a hack (his immortality). The moment this hack was lifted, the system detected he was at 0 HP and he died.
This sound pretty simple but I believe it is like that.
The moment he was supposed to die was long ago, even if his body repaired itself because of his immortality, that same immortality was also the last string that held his life.

Ai is a 12 year old girl that lived her whole life surrounded by the people she loved and the only sad experience she ever had was when her mother died. She was basically surrounded by happiness most of her life.

Her village is destroyed, everyone she know is dead, she knows nothing of the outside world and what's more, she is very confused. She hated him at first but she had only two choice: To depend on him and survive or to aimlessly wanders in the wood and probably die.
Ai is much more intelligent than she act, instead of simply sticking to her visions of things, she seeks the reason why this has happened.

She knew that the people in her village were dead, she simply didn't want to accept it. They tried to hide it from her but in the deepest part of her hearth, she was aware of it.
She's a grave-keepers and she is able to sense this kind of thing even if she doesn't have full control over it.

I love the No.6 soundtrack so I was also surprised when I heard the ED for the first time. It's not the same artist though. For No.6, you're probably thinking of Aimer (who did the ED) and for this anime, the ED was done by Mikako Komatsu. More than their voices, I think their music styles are quite similar.

With regards to this episode, I'm glad I kept watching. It really sucks that Hampnie had to die, but yeah, so much happened that it really got me into it a lot more. Anyway, the preview has already got me excited for next week!
