The episode was pretty good but anyone who's read the manga knows they essentially just wrote Azami out of the plotline in their attempt to get to the more hardcore stuff faster. It's gonna make it awkward as hell to do a Season 2(provided the series sells) since she's half the damn reason for one of the story arcs.... On another note, damn that opening song is epic. |

Monad said: I don't think it was better than the first but still very good. I expected that those games wouldn't be some innocent safe staff but they really are a killing machine considering only 1 or two persons survive at the end. I'm kind of wondering how the hell aren't they running out of prisoners like that? If just one game kills 50 or something then what the hell? Shiro really went out of her way to protect him but i wonder if she has some brain damage with the way she acts all the time. She didn't seem to care at all if he will save her or not while she was falling to her death and no matter what, she always react in that happy smiley way. DW is a privately owned attraction so they probably buy out prisoners from the government or they have deals with the government to house all the prisoners. A total monopoly. Disappointing that they removed Azami. It most likely means Manglobe doesn't intend to animate anything up to her arc and beyond and goes for an original ending. If anybody has seen the lolcopter B rated movie Gamer with Gerard Butler, it's almost the same exact concept. In that movie, convicts are placed into a realtime FPS where citizens buy one of these convicts and control them as their "avatar". |

Kuro-Tenshi said: That.place.is.wrong WTF, how can people think that poeple getting shot and bleeding and being cut in half be a freaking 'special effect'??! in WWE, the audience/tv viewers knew those wrestlers are actors and just using fake bloods. i guess DMW writer got that from them. (im not really good at explaining things so try to comprehend what i said) but DMW is just too extreme, maybe because its ahead of us, it is a sci-fi anime after alll |
  |
| ^From the way the world seems to be going, the future could be just that ignorantly sadistic. |
| I'm loving the high animation budget for this show...as well as everything else. The OP was awesome. Rewatched it a few times even. Hope the anime isn't ruined by there being only 12 episodes as its one of my favourites this season. |

| I'm actually glad that they decided to completely cut Azami. All she ever was was that stupid unnecessary character that mangaka and anime writers put in simply to be "the other girl." They always put them in just to be better able to manipulate the "romance" between the male main lead and the female main lead. In my opinion, having a support character to force drama for that purpose is just annoying and lazy. If they need to resort to that, then they're better off just removing any hint of romantic feelings between the mains. As for this episode, I'm a little concerned on how they're going to fit any of the plot in if they spend an entire episode on just the obstacle course. The op is great, and, speaking of the op, I'm looking forward to seeing Minatsuki. It looks like they also included a minor spoiler for her. |
| All that trouble for nothing. Well, not nothing. He did grow up during the race, so to speak. |

I really hope they won't. Either they are going to rush the plot in the next episodes to fit the whole series in 12 episodes which is really just stupid(the pace is good at the moment) or they are really going for an original ending... (major spoiler) But oh well could mean anything. |

| meh. Deviation-fest from manga already started this early on. We didn't see Azami. We didn't see Ganta snapping and fighting back. We didn't see Ganta's ingenuity at figuring out the pattern of the game. I am disappoint. |

| they made some changes in the story, but will that series be ok with just 12 episodes? |
| OP= awesome. ED is good too. I'm liking the overall creepy feel of this show. Much better than the first episode. |
  |
| Bring it, asshole! |
 |
| "Special effects" explains why most of the spectators don't think it's real. |
 |
| I'm really loving Shiro. She's so bubbly and enjoyable, unlike most female characters. She's a nice refresher in this spiral of depression. I hope they show more of the acts they put on in that prison. They're very... interesting. And Yoh. What was he doing on the phone? Always have to have that best friend character that's really stabbing you in the back. Good episode. Can't wait for the next one! |
 |
| This show is really creepy. That guy who beated everyone up deserved to die. The opening is very great, but the people dancing with animal hats on their heads in the opening was a scene were I couldn't help but laugh. Overall this show gives me really the creeps, but is very interesting and I really want to know what will happen next. |
| Damn, everybody in Deadman Wonderland is just crazy! I both weird and sadistic ways! Loved the episode though, really interesting. I wonder why he didn't use his powers in the race. Maybe he doesn't really know how to summon them himself yet. |
 |
| This show is over the top. And not in a good way. But I kind of like do really enjoy it, but mostly cause of Kana Hanazawa! D-Don't misunderstand, baka! |

| Nice episode and Best OP this season |

It will certainly add depth to the chara and I like the game to be won or surpassed with some sort of strategies shown. What I saw in this episode was that Shiro helped Ganta surpassed the game alive. Meh. |

EtherSword said: If Shiro gets any less screen time, I'm going to drop this. Then maybe you shouldn't be watching this kind of stuff in the first place? Just saying. I must admit though, she's rather lovely as far a albino airheads go. |
| I don't understand why they bother to differentiate between death row convicts and regular convicts if they get the EXACT same treatment. I mean they're both trying to survive 3 more days by getting super expensive candy, right? Also, the sweet bread "incentive" was pointless since it's obvious that everyone besides the winner was supposed to die. Anyway, nitpicking aside, that was a rather enjoyable episode. Very morbid though...which I guess is good. And Shiro kinda creeps me out, she's really out of place in the show. |

| The opening was epic. And you don't mess with Ganta "BRING IT ASSHOLE" :D Best moment of the whole episode. |
 |
| The OP is awesome!!! The dog race was brutal and exciting =D I loved it!! The one thing that made me dislike the episode was the fact that they skipped an important part where an important character was introduced (Azami) -.- I hope they find a way to counter that because if they don't it's gonna have bad effects on the next parts of the story... I thought that after skipping that they would at least show her in the locker scene but they didn't... I hope they don't cut her off :( |
People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world. (ಠ_ಠ) |
| The OP was amazing, and I loved Shiro this episode. |
| Oh my god. Now I want to read the manga. |
 |
| Shiro kind of bothers me. Sure, she's cute, and I don't hate her, but she seems like she were supposed to go in a cutesy colorful series and accidentally ended up in a dark serious bloody one. I do realise thats kind of the point, but she just gives me this vibe that says "we need something to get the moefreaks into this, lets throw in a genki white haired girl in a twisted prison". I mean really, there's thousand of anime revolving around silly energetic girls, keep these cute airhead girls out of my serious dark shows. This is still a very intriuging anime, possibly the best this season. |
| I loved that awesome DOG RACE.............. :D |
 |
| I liked the second episode the same as the first. The atmosphere is so great. However, Shiro annoys me, I find her worse than Ganta. |
| This episode was hard to sit through. Was pretty disgusted at the audience in general. |
| That was a cool episode. |
 |
| I dug it. I haven't read the manga so the deviation didn't affect me. I have my guesses on who Shiro is and what her motivations are. I really like the sense of urgency that's created by the candy/poison dynamic. It makes every moment very important, while still keeping the prisoners in a pained state of emergency just to buy a few more moments to live. |
 |
| devaition = fail = rushed ending |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| I thought the episode was pretty cool and the opening was awesome. At least Ganta realized that that Shiro was helping him the whole time. I mean I don't see any other way that he could of made it to the end. It was a good episode. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
Dudewitbow said: all of that to extend your life by 3 days >.< Exactly. Was not as excited as i was last episode, but it was pretty hard stuff to live up to. |
| Loved it. :] |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
