Death Parade

I went into Death Parade thinking it would be just another anime to watch, that it would have some good qualities but not great overall. After watching the first episode I was stunned at how good it was. The setting is wonderfully imaginative even when it isn't completely shown. Their seems to be a lot of heart put into this show and that this place is much more realistic. Each episode surprised me with the careful observation of humanity and human life. It expresses our desires, our beliefs, and who we value most. Death parade is more about humanity and what we did during our life. The show is very beautiful in a way in which human nature is defined. Please give this show a chance it is very well done.

P.S. Great opening

The start of the anime is well structured. It gives your imagination some room. The quality is consistent throughout. It emphasizes on human behavior and offers some interesting twists. Give it a chance. Considering its length you won't regret taking the time

I'm not joking. This anime is something special that will always stay with me. Death is not a simple matter that can be discussed. It's something more. So is life and its meaning. I cried for at least 2 episodes. No other anime, movie or TV show made me feel all those feelings. The dialogues are not void and meaningless. They center the target of the story, and everything is connected till the end. I am very happy that, in the anime, love is the only feeling that can change everything, and that can overcome even fear. I spent a delightful time watching it, and I'm very happy. I recommend you to do so! You'll thank me later.

I can count on one hand how many anime or manga series I've ever watched or tried to watch..this is one out of 3 anime's that I would absolutely recommend to anyone! Regardless your thoughts on manga or anime, this is a must-watch miniseries. This show will make you think a lot, filled with interesting symbols to keep you interested and has a beautiful message. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

This anime will grab your full attention from the start and never let go. It begins with a couple arriving after their death in an unknown place where they are to be judged on whether they deserve to be reincarnated or sent to the void. In order to be fairly judged, they must play a game. It is during this game that their hidden darkness is brought out. At the end of the game the arbiter will make the decision on who will be reincarnated and who will be sent to the void.

The main intrigue in the show is that none of the people have clear memories and it's throughout the game that these memories are brought to light. The memories can make a person react very differently, as they realize how they've been hurt in life and how they feel in general about the life they lead.

The show does have it's issues. The existence of the arbiters is somewhat explored, but never fully explained. Why do these beings exist? They don't even know that themselves. There's also a god-like character who's purpose is never discovered.

These flaws don't stop this from being a great show however. I highly recommend this anime if you like psychological thrillers and want to delve into existentialism a bit.
