After watching Death Billards, I just couldn't believe what I was getting into when I watched its sequel! I tell ya, this anime would give a wide range of emotions such as shock, sadness, anger, excitement, you damn name it lol! This anime is really one of the best dark ones I've ever bumped into and like it really gives you a rollercoaster of reality and how we question ourselves - what will be death like for us?
This anime series is set in the Quindecim bar where bartender Decim judges the recently deceased to determine whether their souls will be reincarnated or cast into the void. To help his decision two recently deceased people must play a game; they don't know they are dead and have had their memories removed but they do know they are playing for their lives. The game they must play varies; some play darts, some plat air hockey and others play billiards. The games aren't quite how we know them though; as they play there are physical consequences and, although they don't know it they are judged on how they play not whether they win or lose. Decim isn't human; he is an arbiter; his sole purpose is to judge the dead unpassionately. He is meant to do that but when Chiyuki arrives he is unable to judge her and ends up making her his assistant… it is only delaying the inevitable though; eventually he will have to judge her too.
This is one of the current season's more interesting series; the premise is original and the story is well told. The pace might seem a little slow to some, but I really enjoyed it. With each new pair of people to be judges I was curious to learn what game they would play and how the game would progress. As the story progresses we learn more about Decim, the other arbiters and Chiyuki as well as the strange in-between world they inhabit. The characters designs are distinctive and well animated. Normally I like series to be twelve or thirteen episodes long but when this finished I was left wanting more… however the story had been told in a way that neither felt rushed nor dragging so twelve episodes clearly was the right length and it is nice to have some questions unanswered.
Anime Review: Death Parade (2015)
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.
Most Underrated Anime (highly Recommend)
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.
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.
Death Parade isn't a bad show, just one that wasn't properly utilized to its full potential. It had the setup to be something thought-provoking and entertaining at the same time, but due to the humdrum cast and unexplored setting, it only passes as a nice popcorn time passer. Also, the opening, since no one seem to shut up about it. Despite my qualms, I fully recommend it to anyone since it's entertaining at the very least.
Death Parade 1x12
This is a really good anime, I would rather not say too much about it as I don't want to give too much away. If you want to see a show that gets inside peoples heads and reveals their life decisions and shows how they came to be and the ruff times they went through you should watch this!
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.
When someone dies they are brought to a bar, forgetting how they died and why. They arrived and are asked to play a game, which is also a battle to the death. The deceased are brought there to be tested, to test their sanity and composure. This test is to to see who qualifies to go to heaven or hell. And the bartender, is the person that is testing the deceased, and has the judicious duty of guiding the deceased to heaven or hell. But one person arrives with all their memory intact, leaving him stumped because now he can no longer decide her fate correctly, when the deceased lose their memory it reveals their true colors, however she arrived with all her memories. Why? begs the question and Where will her soul go?
Best Underrated Anime Series You Should Be Watching Right Now
This show brought me to tears, it was such a heartfelt show, talking about suicide and homicide which can be unsettling but it also raises awareness. Every aspect of this show was executed so well and the Music, the opening song is still one of the best anime openings of all time. I guess you can say this series is life changing... and I hope more people can enjoy this series as much as I do.
DEATH PARADE is the first anime I have seen without anyone recommending it to me. And an anime that isn't too popular, and I believe it's a nice little show. I decided to check out this series not thinking it to be great. And it wasn't. But it was damn close!
Death Parade takes place at a bar amongst life and death called Quin Decim. Quin Decim is a place where the newly dead go, typically in pairs to take part in a random game under the supervision of the arbiter. The players must compete in a game that they believe will cost them their lives. Nonetheless, these people don't know they're dead. These games mentally push them to their max to reveal their true character, and by that they are judged with either having their soul reincarnated or forgotten in the void.
Death Parade (english Dub) Suicide Tour
Something I do find great though is that the show revolves around different people that get introduced to the afterlife, so the protagonists change throughout. Characters here are created with care and these characters feel real, and care for them, even if you have only got to know them for about fifteen minutes. This is where director Yuzuru Tachikawa makes his money. Tachikawa also directed the seventh episode of Attack on Titan, which was the episode that showed the greatest character development. It showed characters being pushed to their absolute limits to do whatever necessary, exactly what Death Parade is about. Changing characters every episode can be seen as slightly repetitive as the show goes on. Tachikawa shows the moments leading up to their darkest moments and their death. Most of these characters are bad, and some truly horrible! Inside you're punching yourself because you shouldn't feel for some of these criminals. But as I have stated before, Tachikawa is a brilliant character director.
I am a sucker for great openings. Whenever I
