Snake5555555555 10/24/20 2:42:33 AM #259:	41. Deadman Wonderland (anime) (19 points) Nominated by: PrinceKaro (0/4 remaining) Importance: 5 Fear: 7 Snake: 7 Now, I know I haven't seen that much anime, but Deadman Wonderland is up there as having one of the most fucked-up openings ever. Ganta, just an innocent schoolboy, has his life turned upside down when a powerful individual completely decimates his classroom and everyone inside it, leaving Ganta as the sole survivor at the center of an absolute bloodbath of gore, bones, and absolute trauma. To make matters worse, Ganta is sentenced as the perpetrator of this mass murder, due to manipulation from his own lawyer and slimy individuals in power, and sent to Deadman Wonderland, a weird amusement park/prison hybrid, and in a moment of irony, where Ganta and his class were headed to a field trip. Everything is handled here with a total sense of seriousness, I watched the dub, and usually I'm not very impressed with them at all, but Greg Ayres put his all in into Ganta's character, I truly believed his desperate crying, total bewilderment, and desires to die and put an end to all his suffering. However, Ganta does meet Shiro, a seemingly innocent young girl who tries to fulfill Ganta's wishes, but he actually wants to live and thus his "deadman" powers are activated, granting him the ability to control his blood. From here, I wouldn't really call Deadman Wonderland that much of a horror series, instead operating as more of a dystopian thriller that revolves around these sort of game shows that take place in the prison, like the incredible cruel Carnival Corpse (a clear Cannibal Corpse nod/pun) which are just these absolutely insane gladiator-type battles between inmates. Learning about Shiro and Ganta's real relationship was the most compelling part however, and it's well-written how their pasts actually intertwine and can be a little sickening to find out the truth. It's a good series overall, I wouldn't say it's an exceptional anime, and the manga is a lot more brutal, but it's worth a watch since it's short and like I said the main story is definitely a doozy. --- Bare feet on the tile with my head up in the clouds https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:946230882] in THE Snake ...
