Taking this lunch break time to post this. Being busy with works and the new football season. I am currently at vol 6 when Ai was trialed by the witch and Dee became her lawyer. I remembered I fell asleep during the earlier part of Vol 6 until Yuri came and karate-chopped Alis for holding her adopted daughter's (Ai) hand.
Of course, the reason I awoke was because he said "Chesssstooooooo" Quote:
Oh, Alis obtained his "Buzzer Beater" when he buzzer beater-ed the opponent team from 25 meters. He then quit basketball because he realized his ability is cheating. He thought that it is beautiful when a dream is not fulfilled and people strive to achieve them. One of my favorite scene is when Ai challenged Alis to 1-on-1 without knowing the rules. She goal-tended him and played a full court . Quote:
There was a scene with Ulla and Kiriko at the end of Vol 3 where they were lobbying for a start of a new rule after they denied the wish of the Elders when they helped Scar (now Ulla's mother) and the gang to escape Ortus earlier in the book. Ulla said that she would be a King, and Kiriko replied that he would make her one. Of course it is another story that won't be told in the LN. (damn you Mr. Author :P) Vol 4 began with Ai leaving her school friends after staying a while at Tanya's house. Celica was a Scar-detector, as Ai and her merry friends climbed a tower so high (1000+ floors) they saw the Aurora. There are Encyclopedia of Gravekeepers as people have been studying them, and the party witnessed how a Gravekeeper came to Earth. They climbed a ZA TAWAA, where each floor gave a different setting. Considered it as a journey of Laki the Dead which was also a GK Hunter that killed and buried 23 GKs, as he was waiting the one GK that buried her sister long ago to bury himself. They recovered Scar in the end, and Yuri, Scar, Celica, Ai (and Ulla) became a family. Vol 5 took place inside Ostea, as Ai was looking the way to free the people from resetting that happened every July 28th. It was the day when Alis died and his 17 friends wished those happy days with Alis would return. Dee lose her powers when the seal was broken. She had her physical body now. Okay back to work. I can't remember all the details, as my head hurts from all this MATLAB-ing. I'll try to answer further questions if I have the free time to reread those novels (when there are no football games :P). And damn it Kino where is my copy of Kaminai manga vol 4? I don't want to do multiple journeys just to collect the manga and LN on different days.

Spoiler for welp:
That was the final sentence of vol 8. :P. Half-human half-gravekeeper is a Deados now? Oh well, according to the afterwords, vol 9 will be the last one. Though I think it's already being said, but I feel I need to say it again. What a waste of papers. Not because the story was bad, but the density of words per paper is lesser compared to other novels I'm following like the likes from Asahi Publications.

Excuse my nooby-ness, as you can guess by my user name. But I have a few questions, some might be off-topic (related to the anime version). I hope that someone can be generous enough to spare their time to answer them. Well, here goes:
- In volume 5, was Dee the one who died, or was it Alis? - Will Dee get her body back if the loop breaks? - Is the anime version of Kamisama No Inai Nichiyoubi faithful to this? - Can someone summarize the whole 8 volumes? I read every post in this thread, but I couldn't find much help, because they're all scattered. Thank you in advance for answering my nooby questions! |

I made a mistake. Alis and Dee got out 12 years ago, but Ai and her merry friends went back to 14 years ago. This means Alis experienced the resetting for 2 years before he could escape. He also mentioned that there were at least 2 major wars and one epidemic through out those 14 years.
Quote:
By stupid I meant the 11th hour revelation, just like when Celica was brought to light in the dying pages of vol 2 - Yes Dee got her body back, after the sealed world crumbled. Earlier in vol 6 Ai woke up from a nightmare where she buried Alis for the sake of her dream. Both the girls went to clean Alis' grave. - Are you kidding? My "Za Tawaa" was not animated, and I went "Za Fakku!?" instead. Funny moments (which were aplenty) were omitted, and the anime tried to overplay with the emotions. But, like I said earlier, if the "emotions" parts were not played than Mikako-shi's song would probably had gotten little attention. Then again, when the conclusion/outcome is more important than the process, I guess the anime is faithful to the source material. -I don't know how to summarize non-technical paper p.s. Not enough legs from Kitakoshi unlike many other females singer during the recent Anisama.

- Glad to know that Dee is alive <3, I have a soft spot for little girls (not saying that I don't have soft spot for girls, I like girls. But due to my sister complex, guess I view her as a little sister?) - So after that, Dee goes on the journey with Ai and Scar and Cecila and Julie? - Well, I'd just like the main bullet points of the novels :P. If you have time for these extra inquiries, I thank you. |

The only semi-badass character left is Yuri, and he is losing his cool-streak and becoming more passive and father-like every episode D:

Learning that Alis will die is a huge shock, I like him
but how come he's still in the later novels? And I'd like to ask what is this, some kind of alternate world? The short haired glasses girl is Ai, right? Spoiler for vol.7:

The anime just ended and I want to clarify which novel's volumes the episodes were adapted from. Is this correct?
Vol 1: Ep 1-3 Vol 2: Ep 4-6 Vol 3: Ep 7-8 Vol 4: Ep 9 Vol 5: Ep 10-12 Also, is vol 9 will be the final volume? If so then it's possible for the anime to get another season that will cover the rest of the volumes. But I hear the last arc in the anime had some differences with novel's vol 5 and it went with an anime original ending. |

Yes for the first question.
Yes for the second one, unless the author said otherwise in the future. If disk sales determine the possibility of Season 2, so don't hold your breath. Heck, don't hold your breath because you could die :P. But then again, if Season 2 means more KitaKoshi, let's 成仏しようぜ!! The anime ending is more the less like the novel, but of course there are differences. The most memorable one was that Ai didn't figure out that Alis was the one that died, and she was like "Eh? Eh?" I'm not at my own PC, and definitely not in my room, so I don't have the books with me right now so let's watch football, so I can't answer for details. So where's my fellow Japanese readers at? I think if people could make it to AnimeSuki, I'm positive that they can ask Bakatsuki forums for better brass tacks, if (and it is) this thread is not sufficient. Just my 2 centimes: I've been in a position where I had to depend on translation, so when I am Japanese-able, I've tried to return the favor by translating some manga (Gundam UC0081, and some /m/anga that you could not get the physical copies unless Yahoo! auction of friends in Japan or something) and eventually I stopped translating because I think it's not the right thing to do. I do feel bad for my editor though. Now I've been buying my own entertainment, I'm not going to stop others to ask for translation, but AS is not the place. You'll have better chance at BakaTsuki. Just make sure the translator is a Responsible Person, that he/she owns what's he/she working on. Also, one of my pet peeves is when the translation goes something like this: Japanese (free) -> some other language (free) -> English (absolutely it's going to be free at this stage).
