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 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.
