There actually is an idol of death, whose gaze the living cannot escape.
This week on The Sunday without God, it is revealed that the living who wish to migrate to the city of the dead, Ortus, must attend a ceremony before becoming citizens, and we discover that the Princess of the city has a mysterious power whose gaze, speech, or touch causes death. The Princess also has a twin sister who has not aged during the 15 years after God seemingly abandoned the world, but upon Scar the Gravekeeper reaching through her protective barrier, the spell is broken, and an infant joins the road trip through this mysterious world.
Such an evocative anime, where plot is not so much the focal point, as it is the imagery in parallel with the concepts of life, death, faith, and mere existence bounce around for half an hour.
