I donno about that. The guy realized his mistakes and the stuff that he should have done/was important (like when he rememberd his stepmom and he said like "i couldn't even do something as simple as call her momma" while the woman was pretty batshit insane with the whole trying to kill the guy and attacking decim and all that.

Both had a shitty life and both were pretty selfish. But he turned it on himself and unwillingly hurt those left behind. He realised over the game how wrong he was. She on the other hand turned all that was shit in her life onto other people, hurting them directly (she even did it in death to a random person). And in the end she did not realise she was wrong but remained selfish and only thought about what SHE lost not what other people lost because of her.
At least these are my thoughts of that episode, just finished watching it. I honestly thought it wasn't to great for the first half but the end turned the whole episode around and it was really well done imho.

And yeah, Decim is a great character, I like him. I hope we will get more character development and insight in the world in the next episodes instead of another case.

Woman was clearly self-absorbed and while they both had a shitty life, she turned her own shitty life onto others (hitting her manager for example) while the NEET just took the punches as they came.
Decim using the remote makes this clear as day:
NEET loses his ball thingy: Just sits there and waits for it to end
Woman loses her ball thingy: Goes and 'kills' the NEET

She turns her misery and suffering onto others.

Also yes, white mask means reincarnation and the devil mask means void, should be painfully obvious after episode 1 and 3

First episode seemed to imply to me we finally got a showdown on our hands, some kind of "taking no prisoners"-action of three different factions clashing, and mc finally doing something interesting. Sigh, it was simply a marketing hook. All what awaits viewers next are even more mediocre worldbuilding, zero character development ('cause, ya know, girls suddenly got a feelings for our guy) and some messy clown enemies which would still beat upgraded Kaneki down to the pump. They don't even bother with ghoul's designs and personalities anymore, no human eating shock content either.

Feels like not my cup of tea overall. Yeah, it's certainly the most creative motorroller advertising I've encountered in my life, and all-female cast is always a huge plus, but ...the action is stupid. It feels like a parody at best and I don't feel like laughing, have seen better implementations of gang wars already.

I think I grasp the message, the atmosphere is warm, sounds are energetic and Jin Fukuyama's Korosensei is simply marvelous. On a objective side all high-schoolers have one-line character at best and plot progression is rather questionable. Imagine Superman bestowed the world government a mine of cryptonite for a chance to teach random kids in school or he would blow the Earth up immediately. Is there any person in a room who thinks there is a glimmer of intrigue in that kind of plot? So far, it's a well executed gag comedy, which makes even black humor sound totally family-friendly, but only god knows whether it is enough to keep our attention for the two straight courses.

Such a pleasant surprise! Best directing, best action, best soundtrack and best secondary character cast so far marks Fafner as the best show of the season. There's still a possibility all efforts will go down the drain due to excessive UNDERSTANDING HAX finale, but before we get there it's the most thrilling 20 minute annual ride on a market. Hey, it even has female pilots with personalities you want actually care a little about! The setting has it flaws: the preamble is generic, amounts of technobabble could've been lower and it's kinda difficult to understand some nuances without watching the prequels. Character designs are definitely controversial of Gundam Seed bad fame, with the constant exposition and namedropping in the scenes you may feel a little puzzled at first. But, hey, everyone here still watches that Aldnoah kind of abomination, so every soft sci-fi piece would look advantageous in a сomparison.

I don't think I can remember a single non-Sunrise mecha series with a better production value than this, XEBEC continues to deliver.

interesting, better than the last episode, but still not sure where this show is going. First game(darts) had me mega hype, second game (bowling) was pretty meh, last one (arcade), was better, but now leaves me wondering if there's anything connecting these episodes. A show can be episodic and good, but this one leads me to believe it's not trying to be purely episodic.
