Can we wait at least 7 more weeks before saying stupid things?
The reason why anime is hated.
OPotS.

Very good episode.
I only wish they wouldn't tell where they were went in the end, just like in Death Billiards.
Other than that, the first episode was fantastic.
>AotS
>one episode is out
stop
>>119657026
The difference between Death Billiards and the first episode of Death Parade is that at least in Death Billiards you could conclude yourself where everyone went and pretty accurately at that.
In Death Parade you would be blindly guessing.
>feel parade
>>119657198
You're a smart guy.
>>119656721
If it will be episodic trash I will drop it. The first ep was already worse than Death Billiards although it was the same shit. The anime isn't clever at all and the characters are generic as fuck, as are the reactions.

I watch Death Parade for the emotional trauma
Slightly disappointed this thread didn't devolve into bickering whether she cheated or not or if the void is a good thing or a bad thing.
>>119656721
After the first episode? Are you retarded, OP?
>>119657072
Anon, you must be some kind of genius. Even now I see no clincher as to where the two men went in Death Billiards.
Unless I'm missing something really obvious.
EVERYBODY PUT YOUR HANDS UP
>full op only on feb
>>119657892
>Unless I'm missing something really obvious.
Obviously you are considering you fail to see the episode in it's entirety which should lead you to a conclusion.
>>119656721
Why the fuck did the woman went to hell, it makes no fucking sense at all.
>hurr durr let me see your phone while driving at 200km/h
>hurr durr I got both of us killed.
>>119658209
It says void, not hell. And void is all about nothingness, not eternal suffering like hell.
>>119658209
No one likes used goods.
>>119658225
It says both actually.
He says Heaven and Hell in the beginning and by the end it's Reincarnation and Void
Do japs play truco?
now that's a card game made for bars and pubs
>>119658260
I'm pretty sure it is implied that she didn't cheat on him, she just said it to give him some sort of peace of mind, you know, the typical "hate me and be happy while being ignorant".
>>119658225
She is still being punished while the guy is being reincarnated.
God damn, at least wait a couple episodes before you start firing off those hot opinions.
>>119658306
>I'm pretty sure it is implied that she didn't cheat on him
She did, Machiko was Matchy. She lied about Machida Yuuki being Matchy seeing how her name is still Machida Yuuki in the ending (despite the wife claiming they stopped calling her Matchy after she married and changed her name)
>>119658267
>>119658306
So what you're saying is reincarnation = heaven? Do you seriously think living on Earth is a paradise? If we will put Buddhism into play, Heaven = Emptiness/Void while being reincarnated means that you need to re-establish your life in order to reach heaven/void.
>>119656721
Not AotS, but definitely one of the AotS contenders with The Rolling Girls, Cinderella Girls and Yuri Kuma.
>>119658376
I see, it is a valid point.
I liked it so far. I have a feeling when they start going into other bartenders I'm going to be put off, hopefully it doesn't focus on them too much.
>>119658376
There's no good or bad thing about either Reincarnation or The Void.
The young guy in Death Billiards clung so hard to life that he eventually got it granted.
>>119658267
Wait. So, heaven is reincarnation and hell is void?H-hey, loli ;^)
It's great being an ethical subjectivist because that's the true (and best) way to enjoy this show.
Go on, objective morality plebs, keep on arguing about who's good/bad or who goes to heaven/hell (protip: they don't, reincarnation/void is far more complex than just determining who's right/wrong). Anyway, there's too little information to prove anything either way.
maybe the dude gets reincarnated into a dung beetle or something shitty like that
What do you guys even mean? You can tell easily where which one went. The man went to Heaven and the woman went to Hell. You can see at the end, above both of the elevator doors is a mask. The one the man went into was a white and more "Holy" mask, while the one the woman went into was a red more "Evil" mask with horns on it. It's pretty obvious where each went.
Shitty paint edit, but here it is. You don't need exposition to understand everything.
>>119657826
Here we go!

>I'll pretend to know what Noh Masks are and how they work without knowing how they work
You could have googeled it without embarrassing yourself.
>>119658372
>despite the wife claiming they stopped calling her Matchy
She never claimed that though.
>>119657826
It soon will. I could bet my life on ithehe
>>119656721
If by starting horrible pseudo-intellectual philosobabble drivel and the literal same questions and answers thrown back and forth then maybe.
>>119658376
Oh boy, here we go. If there's anything I learned from the past few threads, it's that:
>"Void" isn't a place in Buddhism. It's a state of consciousness.
>They didn't use the Buddhism term for void (kuu), they used kyomu, which means literal nothingess.
>>119658478
Or in his next life he becomes an aborted fetus
>wife beater goes to heaven
Certainly a strong first episode.
I really liked how gross they made the animation of the dude. Like all the nasal leakage and spit. Made it really "realistic" and gross.
OPOTS
>>119658517
You are right, I checked it again.
If there are more episodic cases like this, the show will have more /a/utists arguing over moral dilemmas instead of the usual waifufaggortry, which is quite unusual.
I don't know how to feel about this
>>119658630
Nona best girl.
>>119658478
>tfw we killed reincarnated peoples everyday
I hope they get the episodic bullshit out of the way fast. That gets old real quickly unless they mix it up with dead people calmly talking about the situation instead of devolving into melodramatic fuck wads.
How they handle the behind the scenes story with the bar staff will show how good this really is because this first episode wasn't really much. Better off watching the Anime Mirai one instead.
>>119658578
He had no chance, anon.
and she deserved.
>>119658505
So what do they work?
>>119658710
They work like the last thread.
>>119658724
They work by people insisting that their interpretation is the only correct one?
>>119658668
They need to introduce the rest of the staff fast, if they're as fun as in the dancing OP. Stoic Bartender McBlankstare can not carry the show
>>119658668
Episode 2 is a behind the scenes of what happened in Episode 1 where we follow the 2 girls.
Noh is often based on tales from traditional literature with a supernatural being transformed into human form as a hero narrating a story. Noh integrates masks, costumes and various props in a dance-based performance, requiring highly trained actors and musicians. Emotions are primarily conveyed by stylized conventional gestures while the iconic masks represent the roles such as ghosts, women, children, and old people.
Noh masks are carved from blocks of Japanese cypress, and painted with natural pigments on a neutral base of glue and crunched seashell. There are approximately 450 different masks mostly based on sixty types, all of which have distinctive names. Some masks are representative and frequently used in many different plays, while some are very specific and may only be used in one or two plays. Noh masks signify the characters' gender, age, and social ranking, and by wearing masks the actors may portray youngsters, old men, female, or nonhuman (divine, demonic, or animal) characters.
Onryō (Ghosts and Spirits)
These masks are used for spirits of the dead who have regrets of some kind. In this category there are both male and female masks. Examples of male types are ayakashi, yase-otoko and kawazu. Examples of female types are yamamba, deigan and the famous hannya masks.
>>119656902
This I can get behind. AoTS is far too early to say, but it does have the strongest first episode so far.
>>119658792
Deigan
Mask expressing spite toward a man who has lost love for the deigan. The name deigan, or “golden eyes,” derives from the gold flakes (dei) that form the pigment used around the eyes. The gold pigment appears to sparkle like tears, representing the inner struggle of the character. The deigan mask is characterized by its unfolded eyelids, and the weeping expression is not seen in any of the onna-men. The deigan mask is said to traditionally have been used to represent heavenly roles such as Buddha and is worn by the atojite acting as ryū-nyo to play the role of ama, or female fishermen who have attained enlightenment.

>>119658823
Hannya
The expression of this mask is a fusion of jealousy, grudge, sorrow, and grief of women. It has a demonic appearance with two horns, knitting her brows and stiffening her cheeks. There are two views about the origin of its name Hannya; one is that a monk from Nara Hannya-bō translated the creation of this type into art, and the other is that making the masks of demons required the mask maker to have the wisdom which opens people's eyes to the reality of things, and the wisdom was called Hannya in Buddhism.

This.
Though I wouldn't it being episodicif the game was DDR.DDR with OP as the music.
>>119658823
>>119658847
So what's the point here? That >>119658481 is actually right in his interpretation? Because the hubby went in the elevator with the human mask and the wife went into the elevator with the demon mask.
>>119658861
>having shit taste
>2012
>>119658887
God fucking damnit the man was reincarnated and the woman went into the void (whatever the fuck it means or how it looks like)
They even told you in the end where both went.
>>119658895
>living in the past
>KLK still ahead of him
I feel sorry for you
>>119658939
i love the ebin hot fresh le klk is le bad mimi
>>119658917
That's not what I'm arguing about though. I know that.
>>119658505 is acting like >>119658481's
interpretation was wrong but these mask description actually makes it perfectly clear he's right.
>>119658987
The interpretations are completely wrong because you can't assign them into Black and White roles.
See >>119658438
>>119658867
>DDR with OP as the music.
EVERYBODY
>>119656996
Really? It was the most predictable thing in the world. Lovey-dovey couple just married, thei died and now they have to play a game "as long as you are safe doesn't matters what happens to me".
It was obvious which the development was going to be. Can't say I was impressed, it was jut to cliche for something that tries to sell itself as something original.
>>119658987
The white masks implies reaching Englightment, how does it make sense to you that the husband was reincarnated if the Mask was anything to go by?
>>119659062
If they don't have an episode with a DDR "death"match, we riot
>>119658578
I guess the bitch should had spent more time in the kitchen rather than fucking some other dude. Maybe it could had been the other way around.
>>119659106
This.

This part made it perfectly clear the game was rigged from the start like in Death Billiards. Ginko changed his verdict when the wife suddenly burst into treats.
>>119659166
Well that was obvious.
The game has no bearing on the outcome.
