Deadman Wonderland

Deadman Wonderland – OVA

October 16, 2011Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Deadman Wonderland, Movie/OVA, reviews

When I think of the anime adaptation of Deadman Wonderland, what I think of mostly is missed opportunities.  This OVA certainly isn’t going to change that, but it does show what Manglobe can do with this story when they take on bite-size chunks of it. You wouldn’t know it from […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – Series Review

There are some obvious and serious problems with anime adaptations of incomplete manga or light-novel series – I don’t think I have to elaborate beyond that. There are even more serious problems with one-cour adaptations of such stories that extend beyond a few volumes. Deadman Wonderland, alas, suffers from pretty […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – 12 (End)

Let me say this up front – if that really was the last episode and there’s no second season, the folks at Manglobe are some heartless bastards. ’tis the season for inconclusive endings. As a reader of the Deadman Wonderland manga, I’ve been puzzling over just how they were going […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – 11

With one episode to go, I have absolutely no idea how Manglobe is going to finish this. 11 might have been the busiest episode of all – it seemed as if they crammed about 4 shows worth of development in there. But the finale is going to have to blow […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – 10

“The guy who doesn’t go mad in this wretched hole was crazy to begin with.” That little aside from Gankaku to Owl is probably as good a summation of this series’ modus operandi as any. Of course, some viewers might think an even better one from this episode might be […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – 9

In some ways, Deadman Wonderland is a perfect story – perfect in the simplicity of it’s injustice and horror. It’s a kind of perfect storm of human depravity and the cruelty of fate. It certainly bogs down in the execution at times, and requires quite a healthy suspension of disbelief. […] Read more

For the first time this week, I feel a real sense of disquiet about this adaptation. That’s because this was the first episode where it really became clear – at least to me – that things were moving way too fast for a believable conclusion. The events of the episode […] Read more

So much is happening so fast with Deadman Wonderland now, and I’m really torn in how I look at the series. It galls me to see so much content crammed into such a short timeframe, for sure. But OTOH, they’re really doing a fine job of introducing new characters and […] Read more

Deadman Wonderland – 6

Lots of new stuff happening in episode 6 of Deadman Wonderland. New characters, new exposition, and some very traditional anime cliches. While I confess I knew it was coming, Minatsuki’s seduction of Ganta was pretty well-played. It seems so obvious to me now that I can’t imagine even most first-time […] Read more

When it comes to cruelty, insanity and perversity, Deadman Wonderland continues to raise the bar. In the immortal words of Nigel Tufnel, these go up to eleven… I’m pretty impressed with the job Manglobe is doing with this adaptation so far. Sure, there were a few moments of lost detail […] Read more
