Deadman Wonderland OVA

This one episode long OVA plays before the events in the main series and shows the history of Kiyomasa Senji and his time working for the police.

Despite being one episode long it is still really interesting and manages to tell a good story.

If you watched the original Deadman Wonderland and thought Senji was a complete bad-ass you will certainly like this, it explains what he did before his time in Deadman Wonderland and his relationships with the people of that town.

A small problem is that this kind of setting is used a lot with characters, guy has normal life, sad thing happens and after that he gets involved with main character(s).

The art & sound are the same from the original series, nothing changed, still both above-average.

The best part of this OVA is what we get to know about Senji, we get to see how he changes from his normal police life and the events that happen after he loses some people dear to him after that we get to see lots of action.

Overall I enjoyed this OVA of Deadman Wonderland and thought it was nice to know a little more about Senji.

So if you enjoyed the original Deadman Wonderland and you liked Senji you should definitely watch this.

Life lesson learnt: With great power comes great responsibility and great sacrifice.

Ok, whether or not there will be a 2nd season of "Deadman Wonderland" or not, one thing is sure, this OVA is what it is said it is, very obvious that this OVA is simply a prequel spin-off of the original anime and it focuses on Senji Kiyomasa's past, just the plot alone is good enough to such point that this OVA has a potential to be a full length anime in terms a prequel from the original "Deadman Wonderland" anime , so for the story I'll give it a "Good" rating of 7.

For the art, well, since the art used is the same as the original anime I can only give it a "Mediocre" number 5, and same goes for the sound since the same opening theme is used.

As for the characters, only Senji, Kiyomasa is the most prominent one since we've known that character from the original anime. As for the other characters of this OVA, they all have potentials too if this were a full length anime . It goes to show that Senji, Kiyomasa does have the potential to be a main protagonist if such anime spin-off is possible, so a "Good' rating number 7 will do. SSSLICE!!!!

Enjoyment and Overall: Good No.7.

Ok, so even if it is just a one off OVA, and it is more of a prequel/spin-off it did not sway away from the original anime's genre which is sci-fi, action, horror and superpower. In fact a prequel spin-off is a good idea, since it'll be alright to do away the original cast from original anime and just leave Senji, Kiyomasa to star in it together with the other cast of the OVA, that way there will be no ending left hanging, but we just have to be contented with the OVA co'z it seems that it is just limited to that, SSSLICE.
