one hell of a gorey anime with blood spatters and lots of dead people. However it
does lack in the high violence. Nevertheless still found Deadman Wonderland to be a decent little
series, flawed but with some strong positive points that keep it afloat. It would be nice if it gets finished.
I rarely read mangas (the only ones I follow is Naruto Shippuden and AirGear) but other than that
I'm not into reading mangas..
Pros:
. Unique and intriguing concept
. lots of gore
. Detail character design and animation
. An appealing support cast (especially Shiro)
. Episode starts off with a WTF moment
Cons:
. The emotional moments are just over the top to be taken seriously
. Ganta isn't interesting enough or has enough bad-ass moment to really like him
. lack of emotionality throughout the series
. The ending really sucks
Despite this Deadman Wonderland is a show of interesting ideas, great visual merit but
blunders most seriously with its flawed execution. Is it bad? Not at all, and it delivers
in the areas that most fans will be looking for it to but neither is it particularly
good (a great OP though). A mild recommendation for genre fans but everyone else can take it or leave it.
Also everyone has their own opinion so its really up to you if you want to continue it but personally I think you will enjoy it.
