OK got it! He has gay tendencies or is just bi. Well I did not see his reactions with females so I will assume that so far. Care to give out more manga reference in PM for me? I would so like to get this guy's gender out of my head so it stops confusing me.


wow you are so obsessed about toto

edit: just deleted it , he is a boy bro . why he is like that sometimes (a little gay) wasnt explained yet in the manga. (they will probably do soon) , but read the manga if you want to understand it better :P

I really liked this episode. I'm a little shocked to find out that the next episode is the last for this season. I will certainly be reading the manga now because I can not possibly stop just with this anime. 12 episodes does not seem enough to fully flesh out what has been going on, but I'm predicting either an OVA or a second season.

I really like Toto/Mockingbird. Probably be who I cosplay after this episode. And glad Hummingbird came to save Ganta. Somewhat redeemed her in my eyes because I absolutely despise her.

The almost rape scene = O_O I was rather uncomfortable.
And Owl losing his shit was unfortunate because I liked him until then...

Crow. Still my favorite. <3

The big question is will it sell well enough to make a second season? (Answer is probably yes.) They have left a lot of room, and I suspect we are going to get an arc ending rather than a season ending next week. Let's just hope they have a gruesome ending for the promoter as well.

I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying this.

Since they included the part with Tamaki making a list of "compatible prisoners", it's very probable there will be a season 2. The "compatible prisoners" play a big part after the Scar Chain arc.

'Ofcourse I'm pathetic, I havn't done a damned thing'
First thing said in the anime.. exactly my thoughts as he was saved yet AGAIN.

Also wonder how this whole Owl thing is going to end up.
So, overall a good episode.

I enjoyed this episode better than the previous ones. I still don't can't decide whether I really like this anime or I find it somewhat boring... But well, as long as they don't make a stupid anime original ending next episode, I'm sure it was worth my time.

Damn, Karako and Shiro got sexually assaulted back there! The bastards! After that the little kid even broke Shiro's legs! T_T

Nagi went completely bonkers because of his wife and daughter. So cliche that full of hate and rage business. I'm guess Ganta will we able to talk some sense into him next week, but who knows? Maybe it'll have a bad ending!

I was glad that Nagi came back, but like this.... O.o super scary!
Also Mockingbird scares me. But i have to ask.... is he gay? Just something that pops up in my head.
I was expecting Shiro just to get back up after her legs got broken. Idk why. Maybe in my mind, she's just that invincible. O.o

About Toto / Mockingbird being gay: if you're drawing this conclusion from the licking scene from this episode, then there are two things I've noticed from the manga (not spoilery, I think):
- he likes using the word "love" (he uses it so often in manga, the Japanese wiki lists it as sort of his catchphrase)
- he didn't lick the wound just because he wanted to. He did it for a reason in the manga. I wonder if they'll explain it in the tv series...

Also (possible manga spoiler), switching between "watashi"/"boku"
(It probably won't be explained in the anime, though.)

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.

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

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...

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!
