You'd think that the main character'd have some more redeeming qualities. The voice actor's voice skweaks, he's a total suck up, but for some reason I still hope for Ganta to grow some balls. Well, there is hope, the next week's preview makes me pretty sure the other Deadmen are going to train the hell out of him! Ha! . . . Well, from a more realistic point of view, he's one of the only ones thats even slightly normal, but then again most people don't watch this show for normal; they watch it for the insanity. The entire concept of the anime is the insanity of it. Ganta is that one bit of realism in the show. If weren't for that one straw of normalcy, watchers wouldn't be able to make the automatic, and most of the time, subconcious comparison between the two. From a critics point of view, it was a smart move on the mangaka's part. This leaves room for Ganta to not only interact with this insane fantasy, but to show the audience what it would be like in this world, and watch as he slowly succumbs to it and becomes part of it. Ganta's weakness is a critical part of the show.

P.S. Sorry about the lengthy review. :>

Good post, ganta is the most normal character there. Watching how he reacts to that kind of world is part of the fun, I think.
Ganta just needed to have his critical moment of 'he needs to change to survive.' I never really cared about any of the characters when I first read the manga till I actually started paying attention lol now its one of my favourite manga and anime.

I actually like the fact that Ganta is weak and surrounded by all these strong characters. He's the most realistic person in the show for me. It makes sense that he's weak because he's the newest person to the prison that we see and the most inexperience with his powers. Mentally and physically he was always a normal 14 year old boy and then he got thrown in this hellhole. The ways he acted now and earlier is what I would expect. I think he episode is setting up some character development for him though and I'd like to see where it could go.

^ Exactly. You can't really blame him, he's a 14 year old kill who went from a happy life with his friends to seeing people brutally murdered and tortured. o.e

After the chip exploded behind the door, it's kinda obvious that it was a bomb. I wonder if Hummingbird will also join.

Seriously, why do the Japanese think we want to see PATHETIC characters such as Ganta.

It's bad enough that he's weak, but when you start complaining, crying, bitching, and being a whiny pussy, that's when everyone begins to hate you.

Oh well, I guess this anime is just a huge ripoff of ELFEN LIED with yet another whiny male character.....*SIGH*

It looked so promising at the beginning.....

I just can't get much interested in this show. I'm not sure why but it's just hard to. The insanity of it all was what attracted me to it but the exaggeration of it is starting to put me off. Also, I hate it that they give every single villain and/or minor character a dramatic (and pretty much ridiculous) background just to kill them afterwards or not having them appear for a long time (Minatsuki), while more interesting and prominent characters are getting close to no development (though I wouldn't call rushed background info development either). The only interesting thing this episode (besides Crow's badass moment, that is) was the fact that Toto seemed to know Shiro is the Wretched Egg. By the way, is Toto a girl or a guy?

toto is a guy , and a really interesting character , minatsuki will be more important later... the problem is that the anime is just going 12 eps

Wow you're an idiot. If you were in ganta's situation you'd be a pussy too and be scared shitless. Also Elfen Lied is shitty, Deadman Wonderland is not. Nor do they have anything to do with each other.

It's bad enough to be a weak and pussy main character but if you start whining as well. It becomes unbearable.

Thankfully, there are two episodes left so I don't have to put up much longer with Ganta's character.

Who cares how I would be.......this is ANIME....it's NOT REAL, we don't want characters to be in a fetal position and start crying about how weak they are.

Also, did you forget that he has POWERS....it's not like he's defenseless.

BTW, Elfen Lied might have it's flaws, but right now if I had to compare these two anime, I would take Elfen Lied hands down.

Not only does Elfen Lied make more sense, at least Elfen Lied didn't COPY & PASTE it's material for it's KEY ELEMENTS the way DW did.

WOW....if you don't think this is ripoff of Elfen Lied, then clearly you can't tell when both anime are doing the same key elements such as:


Sorry buddy, but DW is Elfen Lied only in a prison....other than that it's pretty much the same.

Aww Shiro was so cute in this episode! I just wanted to hug her when she started crying. This episode made me really like Shiro. Ganta being the sweet person he is will apologize to her soon!
I actually like Ganta a whole lot, it's a pity so many are hating on him when I think he's just adorable.

The people hating on Ganta, I'd love to see how you'd act if you were in this situation. He's acting the way any normal 14 year old would act. It's not something you get used to immediately. So quit bitching!

Lol, I think in real life alot of people would actually act alot worse than how Ganta is now anyway (namely the ones who like to act like they are cool, its always amusing seeing them run away). Yeah, he's reactions are pretty normal, hell even an adult would probably act like that. Everyone seems to forget that the other deadman have been in dw for a few years and they all got used to using their powers and everything.

^This x 9000

Only thing that really annoys me is them not being able to use simple logic to figure out the chip was a bomb. Only way it could be more obvious is if it blew up in their faces.

The problem with this series is that their extremely rushing the content to fit it in 12 eps. Their is no character development whatsoever. I mean the 2 undertakers that were killed by senji. Their story was like 30 seconds each. And thats for everyone here. Cant see an ending that will wrap this story up.

Probably gonna be a remake in time, when manga is finished.

It was kinda pretty obvious it was a bomb well yea there might have been flamabble things back there but it couldnt have been just a coincidence that a few seconds after she throws it there is an explosion.

Senji is so fucking awesome loved the part where he sliced those two undertakers then asks who are the strongest lol.

You know what? I'm tired of stupid Ganta. I mean, He tripped on his own shoes for goodness sake...not to mention he hit Shiro who SAVED HIS FRIKIN' LIFE.
Sakigami Toto does seem like an interesting character that may just twist these last episodes into something better. We shall see.

okay Ganta is now just even more pathetic, just a total and utter fail of a main character!!! His voice is even played by a girl for god sake, he should have been dead like 2 episodes? when they had that race.... grrr! Crow and Shiro are the best characters in this damn thing, epic moment when Crow walked in killed those two guys and was like 'which ones are they strongest' ............. 'ummm you kinda just killed them' xD

Senji = super freakin cool! Which also makes him kinda sexy, hehe.
Ganta = well, pathetic. And weak. Shiro was right.
Shiro = so cute ♥ gotta love her. And I can't wait to see what really happened with her and her Ojii-san.

OFFTOPIC:
But holy shit, every time I see the picture of Nagi with his wife in the ending, it kills me a little bit inside... So sad! Nagi would have been such a loving husband and father... :'(

Dammnit. I knew this would happen! Ganta better make up with Shiro! Senji is so cool, prob my favorite character in this show.

I doubt its gonna end well. They're setting up too many things for only 2 episodes left. Plus I heard the ending was a let down, but i guess we'll see...
