With only one episode left, I wonder why they even bother introducing Mockingbird (haven't read the manga) but it seems like his character won't do the season any justice. And why, Ganta's power up is just reducing the size of the projectile and somehow it becomes supersonic, lol.

I wonder if Shiro will go ape shit next episode... I have no idea how they'll wrap up this season in one episode, without it being a disaster.

And I really don't give a damn about Owl... I got bored near the end listening to him go yap, yap. It was much more entertaining before Owl came along.



I completely agree with you. For a 12 episode series, the main cast has gotten way too big... the story is jumping around so frequently between so many Deadmen that Ganta's own story has been pretty much left to rot. Not to mention the other characters with, for the most part, their one and a half episode main focus (Mockingbird, Hummingbird, Crow, Owl, Yoh... speaking of which, whatever happened to him?, the promoter, the prison guards) are just sort of shells of very slightly developed characters that are being forced to take the main stage along with Ganta (honestly, if someone missed the beginning episodes and only saw the most recent ones, some people might be pretty hard-pressed to tell you who the lead character is).

If there isn't a second season of Deadman Wonderland, it will be a disaster. Other than the beginning episodes in which Ganta's classmates are killed, he is falsley imprisoned at Deadman Wonderland. reunites with Shiro, and vows to kill the "Red Man", there has really been no continuous plot. Instead it's been a bunch of disconnected mini-arcs that each introduce a new character (Ganta's arrival at Deadman Wonderland and meeting Shiro again; Yoh spying on Ganta; the journey to find D-Block; Ganta's meets crow, then is forced to fight him; Ganta meets Hummingbird, then is forced to fight her; Ganta meets Owl & Company and becomes the world's biggest tag-a-long; Ganta and Shiro both meeting Mockingbird).

I'm sorry, but where is the story? All I see so far is an introduction that APPEARS to be setting up for a longer, honest-to-god storyline by introducing the backdrop of the show (Deadman Wonderland) and its cast of characters.

I can't see ANY possible way for approximately 22 minutes to resolve Owl going bonkers and either be killed or cured, reveal Shiro's true identity and show Ganta's reaction to this information, reveal the details of Ganta's childhood with Shiro and his parents' original jobs, and then not only reach a plausible conclusion for Ganta but all the other characters as well (why introduce them in such depth if they will just get ignored in the end?)

If they REALLY wanted to make Deadman Wonderland in just 12 episodes, the focus should have been on Ganta searching for the Red Man while developing his relationship with Shiro and other prisoners/prison staff/Deadmen should have been relegated further into the background.

Cursed air resistance, I am confused and perplexed as to how it doth function.

And they've only got one episode left to wrap this clusterfuck up. This has the same "so bad that it's good"-value as Freezing past season did. Terrible to watch at it's best, good entertainment at it's worst.

Still contemplating whether to give a 4 or a 5, guess the ending gets to decide.

Exactly that's the problem of this anime being 12 eps , this will just end in an arc ending , wich leads to the main story that start right after this arc...

this is just an introduction sadly.

I hope Shiro will save the day!!
Minatsuki is also pretty cool.
But yeah i'm a little bit disappointed of Ganta being saved again :/
Ok I have the bad feeling that last ep will suck or will be rushed D:

Training time with Crow ... oh so typical lol :P Too bad he's all weakened up before he realised how to break the sound thing. I'm very interested in Toto, I want to know more about her him :P Seems like he knows a lot, he "died" before? Interesting ...
Crazy Nagi is crazy lol. No idea how they're going to finish this in only 12 eps. Could have used more I would think ;P Have we figured out who the Red Man is yet? XD

Mockingbird's sudden change of expression is creepy~
Anyway, Toto's a boy or a girl?
&& Nagi became insane. >.< He is now a monster~

Best episode yet. Shame they're gonna have to wrap it up in 1 more episode. While this has been enjoyable, it has been hugely lacking and disproportionate.

Crow isn't a bad teacher. He had the right idea and knew exactly what Ganta's weakness was & how to conquer it. The rest of the episode went by quickly, but still felt like a lot of crying and screaming. Now I just want someone to put Owl out of his misery.

Owl really such a bad ass in this episode along with his explosive power and he kinda reminded me of Shuda. So Owl is the final boss?

Ganta like always still a pathetic main character (I still can't forgive him for punching Shiro)

Shiro's and Mockingbird's moment is very cute~

On to the last episode...

Now that was pretty awesome. No rape = good episode. But, sometimes it goes both ways. *No troll face*. Either way, good episode. I don't see where the ending comes into place, though. Anxious to see how it ends. Looking forward to the next!

woah crazy ass episode there then!!!

1) Ganta is still shit, he nearly died AGAIN until whats her name saved him, humming bird I believe? Also he needs weaker and smaller bullets/ becoming anaemic to get a supersonic effect with his blood?! wtf?! that made no sense to me

2) OMG Shiro getting drunk was quite hilarious xD but then it all got wiped away when that bitch loli swiped her feet grrrr.. i was actually raging at that part!

3) wow owl just went ape-shit killing everything, believing a lie to keep sane, thats gotta be rough! But I thought that scene was well done, and you could see his sadness/rage!

Looking forward to seeing the end now!

Killer animation! This episode was fantastic. Crow you are so cool! I actually yelled at the tv in satisfaction when Ganta shot his gun and took down all those guards lol

compared to this episode, it seems like nothing happened the entire season... well it'll all be over next episode, so hopefully its amazing. Looking forward to it!

I will never ever understand anime that introduce things last minute when it's supposed to be tying up lose ends by now. What's the point of mockingbird? And that scene between mockingbird and Shori? Huh totally not relevant at all.
Episode 9 and 10 was awesome, and somehow they just want to suddenly slow the pace to a crawl and introduce NEW things when there is only ONE episode left. Disappointing.

O. I was worried Mockingbird licking the blood of the Sins would get the power stolen away, but Crow could still use his, so maybe I was wrong about that :3

Waaahhhh~ I like nice Nagi more, but insane Nagi is really awesome >.<"
