Synopsis

After death, either Heaven or Hell awaits most humans. But for a select few, death brings them to Quindecim—a bar where only pairs of people who die at the same time can enter. Attending the bar is an enigmatic figure known as Decim, who also acts as the arbiter. He passes judgment on those who wind up at Quindecim by challenging them to a life-threatening game. These games determine if the patron's soul will reincarnate into a new life, or be sent into the void, never to be seen again.

From darts and bowling to fighting games, the true nature of each patron slowly comes to light as they wager their souls. Though his methods remain unchanged, the sudden appearance of a black-haired amnesiac causes Decim to reevaluate his own rulings.

Background

Death Parade spawned from the short film Death Billiards, which was part of the Young Animator Training Project's Anime Mirai 2013.

As soon as I decided to watch it, I thought I would like it, but I knew absolutely nothing about what the anime was about, so I was surprised with every episode, it was very impactful for me and I got hooked on the anime.

Starting with the narrative, which in the very first episode, and also in its pilot "death biliard", is presented from the perspective of the people who are thrown into that bar and don't know anything, just as those watching don't understand what's going on either, it's a great introduction to the anime, even if that couple, or the two characters, aren't ...

An intellectual goth's dream right here.
Everyone I know calls this show "One of the most underrated anime", "A hidden gem", etc. And overall I did like it. Do I think it's like the best thing ever? No. But it's a cool show.
The concept right off the bat is real high brow. Like this isn't a show you put on in the background while doing dishes. You gotta focus to know what's happening. Usually those kinds of shows aren't my thing but this one was cool. It's a great mix of very dark concepts and dry humor. Even the times where things were more ...

If you want an anime that bores you to death that is death parade

from lackluster characters to dull plots and tedious story-telling it's not a good show

heads up guys
I was drawn in by the fancy style and the white-haired bartender looking suave

At first the premise is promising giving us a hint about what the story is about, death ...
