i hate to break the perfect number of 70 reviews, especially when the review box isn't even up, but whatever... here goes.
pros
+ unique concept
+ mixes philosophy and emotions, plays on human nature
+ individual characters with good development and interesting backgrounds
cons
- incomplete story (manga goes much further)
- seiyuu fail!!!
- attempts at humour turn out twisted due to overall darkness and sadistic atmosphere
conclusion: (not playing on weird parallels to deadman wonderland) a very heavy, dark, and graphic story, and not ( read more)

conclusion: (not playing on weird parallels to deadman wonderland) a very heavy, dark, and graphic story, and not for those under 18. could be a classic for its storyline, philosophy, examination of the human condition and nature (sadistic as well as other) and emotion, as well as for its damn content of gore. it's a good one to watch as long as you've got a strong stomach (aka no dislike of blood) and like the action/gore/supernatural genre, as well as some decent thought behind the whole thing, but this anime had more potential than it displays. personally, i definitely prefer the manga for the following reasons: -alot more extense and complete story with the same variety of emotion and the same amazing philosophy, -not as much red colour, -no disgusting sounds, -no failing seiyuu. the anime is okay for what it is, but to anybody interested, i would recommend the manga more.
peace. ( show less)

I'd recommend this to anyone that likes gore and kinda random violence. A lot of random characters are introduced just to be killed. There are exposed breasts and naked figures being depicted in this series. This has a very strange and unique storyline and the characters can be kind of annoying. If you can deal with characters who repress memories and never communicate seemingly just to complicate the plot then this action/supernatural anime is for you.

The beginning was really great. It was just amazing but the rest was bit of a disappointment for me.
It was something like a great concept used badly.
Too much whining and crying. Maybe it's some Japanese culture that I just don't understand.

The story of beginning already hinted us of the direction this series would go in, and despite this, this anime is just as...
