These are where souls that have been judged go.
Once the deceased have been judged after playing one of many games, they are escorted to two side-by-side doors, each containing a customers-only elevator leading to reincarnation or the void.
The "White Noh Mask" and the "Hannya Mask" are displayed above the elevator doors, and reveal where the souls are headed. Once the souls of the deceased have made their journey, their bodies take the form of dolls.
Those who are reincarnated may live anew in the present day, but those sent to the void are cast into the graveyard of souls.
Souls cast into the Void are left with their negative emotions and consciousness intact, and remain in nothingness for all eternity. Personally, I think it was pretty dumb of them to define it, but whatever.
unless they are going to revisit characters who are reborn i dont see whats the point of differentiating reincarnation and heaven. in that case they should really just have stuck with heaven and hell instead of being fancy.

I think it probably has to do with buddhism being such a wide spread religion in Japan. There's other animes that use the concept of reincarnation and whatnot...(the one that comes to mind off the top of my head is Angel Beats).

And Decim is really a great character + Show Spoiler + + Show Spoiler +So it's about the mask on the elevator right? Ok. Seems weird to me tho, the kid was just a biased kiddo while the woman had a shitty life but did her best to be happy with her children + Show Spoiler +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.

Anyways on Death parade again, i was reading some stuff on MAL forum and some of this makes good sense for this episode + Show Spoiler +I also guess the reason she went to the Void and he to reincarnation is that he really felt sorry for this he (mildly) had hurt in his life by his behaviour, while the showbiz star only cared for something she now had lost and didn't feel any emotion over her treatment of others. She sure had it hard, but I guess she showed the wrong kind of reflection. But just my guess. i doubt she loved her children, because if you love them u wont say "I was about to be happy", if you love your children you'll be happy if they are healthy. Of course money can make your life better, but not everytime happy.
And that quote "send me back to THOSE children" not mine, but THOSE children. Anyways, it looks like next episode will have some more of the characters from the OP and we can learn more about the "arbiters" and what/who they are (i'm hoping). edit: Sigh...a ton of the ppl on MAL forum are dumb as shit though. they're all like "she went to hell, guy went to heaven blah blah blah" Im sitting here thinking "quit putting your own ideas of afterlife on the show. They explained it already, it's reincarnation or going to the void. NOT heaven/hell. It's not necessarily good/bad either." I honestly don't like to discuss or read on MAL, especially not on shows that require a certain of amount of self-constructed thought and an open mind to other opinions. When I scan through the threads for death parade I only get annoyed. It's like a handful of really well thought out posts buried under a million posts that are like "the bitch got what she deserved" etc. It's a show to reflect on. It makes me sad that so many people seem to be so short-sighted. : / pls MAL is fantastic posting "Slaine did nothing wrong" will give you enough laughs to last for at least a week
can I get a reaction list for everytime you or someone said that?

Isuca episode 2 was alright, the neko can stay.
Saekano 3 is eh, the girls are good even though they are pretty cliche. Its just, well kinda boring show for the most part.

Shigatsu's episode wasn't that sad today which is fast becoming their norm. + Show Spoiler +Also, she fell and no one was around? She started panicking? Surely, she must have a clue what's going on with her legs unless it's some new development then I can understand what she'd panic.
Yes, I'm being unrealistic with my expectations.

agree with you guys. + Show Spoiler +I felt that the last bit was her doing or that she was in love with him.

Akame latest chapter #56, looks like some girl won't have the same fate as in anime! phew!!
Tokyo Ghoul A: well it makes me wanna go read back some older chapters lol. And again fighting scenes are just so mediocre compared to the manga.

+ Show Spoiler +you say that she wouldn't just stay over until 7am for a silly proposal and end with "feels a bit rushed" when the same thing happened an episode before that lol. She stayed over until 8am to play a silly game she doesn't even like.
Pretty sure it was hinted at earlier as well... I mean she's sitting at a family restaurant with a guy who's telling her that she's worse than boring: she has no character at all. Chances are you're going to stand up and leave if you don't at least have fun around that person or it's just a joke lol.
TL;DR: I'd say it has been shown earlier as well but episode 3 was the one in which she herself figured out that she indeed does love him. Hence her comming back for, like you said, a stupid game proposal

+ Show Spoiler +well yes, I know she stayed late into the morning before deciding to join his circle. We just never saw her act that way at all so it felt like a jump that should've taken place over 2-3 episodes, not a single one even if she figured out that she loved him at the end of episode two. I do understand what you mean though and would've liked to see them taking things more gradually.

Imas 4 was meh. Nothing happened. The show's a lot better when it's focusing on the main three (even if Rin has been boring thus far. Seriously, even Chihaya had more personality). Rika dancing was highly disturbing. Rock girl is a fucking poser. The search for Kaede cameos continues.
G Reco 18 was great. The fight was good, even if the start was kinda questionable.
Garo 16 was just... bizarre. Still waiting for the family to die horribly so the plot can start moving.
JoJo wasn't Oingo Boingo enough this week, but that's a pretty high bar to meet.

wow Toad
u should watch it asap.
Kato is best because one of them is a fake Michuru and the other one is a bad Onee-San/Oujosama
Meanwhile Kato has a very moe dry voice.

I should also start with FSN series but it's so bothersome to download finished series... or rather it isn't bothersome to DL them but it's a lot more comittment to decide to watch an entire series instead of just starting an airing one and be like "well I'll check out episode 1 and episode 1 only"
