Awesome anime. 9/10 cause it was extremely entertaining and that#s what matters. I hope there's going to be a 2nd season.

FU Mockingbird for slaughtering the insane loli. You're a fkn badass but you went too far.

Howl got owned. But went out liek a man and dragged Genkaku with him to the depths of hell.

Shoutout to Beast.

Like others have said this was pretty much the ending for this arc to bad they ended it here because right after the story really starts to pick up,also to the people that found this ending confusing that's to be expected because it wouldn't make much sense unless you read the manga or they do a S2.

It wasn't anything special in my opinion, but it was entertaining. I get the feeling that season 2 will be better, way better!

This seems a really polarizing show ... either you can only see the glaring plot holes and unexplained mysteries (how the Deadmen got their collars off after they escaped, what the hell's up with the dead director, etc), or you could only see how awesome this show is with its rocking BGM, shocking violence (even with a lot of it blurred out) and psychotic characters. Crow was my favorite of the bunch but needed WAY more screentime, with Shiro/Red Man as a close second fave and Genkaku an even closer third. I loved his occasional usage of the English f-bomb. Fucking guys! ;)

Ganta, sadly, didn't even make the top 5. Too much Shinji and not enough badass. Nice Super Saiyan powerup at the end tho. :D

Speaking of our 'ultra priest', he made a good end boss IMO, tho Red Man Shiro, the promoter or Mockingbird would've been a better one. It seems like they stuck pretty close to the manga tho, and they'd have had to come up with an anime-original ending to resolve anything that way.

The pace was fast and didn't slow the whole way through, and the ending was satisfying while leaving things way open for Season 2. I hope they at least make a movie or something if there's not a second season, simply because so much is unresolved. When will Ganta find out who Shiro really is? And will he try to 'save' her when he finds out or will he finally snap and try to kill her? And who gets to sssllice that evil promoter to pieces?

BTW, maybe someone can answer this for me; were the Undertakers also supposed to have Branches of Sin? I seem to recall them all being former Deadmen but none of them demonstrated any abilities, only high-tech weaponry (Genkaku's guitar-guns, Daida's huge fuck-off Ivy sword). Unless you could Genkaku blocking a supersonic Ganta Gun bare-handed, which could've been him injecting himself with steroids, adrenaline or the Branch inhibitors ... if not all three.

5/5 for an awesome final episode, 9/10 for the series

I think there were two types of undertakers--the cannon fodder in the white suits and then the captains with branches of sin abilities. This was one of the best episodes and clearly a season end rather than a series end. So Ganta's mother made up that rather horrific little ED and taught it to Shiro...I think there's a bit more to explore there on the origins of the wretched egg.

I'm hoping for a second season.

I enjoyed this a lot. No real closure, but a second season will be nice. The ending was emotional and really great.

10/10

hey they didn't fuck up the ending. wonder if we'll get another season?
Speak for yourself buddy....

Technically they didn't do anything stupid, however unless there is a second season, then they did fuck up......REALLY BADLY!!!

Basically unless you read the manga, everything we just saw in the anime is up in the air, not to mention that there are SO MANY plot holes and unanswered questions I don't think I can call this an ending.


Anyways, about the episode:

WOW, I didn't think Ganta could get any more annoying.....I was wrong, Romi Paku did a good job showing how much of a PUSSY Ganta really is....

Other than that, I didn't care for the senseless killings.....everything was rushed and nothing was accomplished.

However, There were more than a few episodes that kept me entertained, and the plot is still interesting.....

so...6.5/10 (I'll round it up to 7/10)

Yup. Second season is necessary. I was left with so freaking many questions... reminds me of Darker Than Black, where some catastrophic event happened that gave a few people special powers, but they never bother to explain why, or the details around said catastrophic event. Same with Deadman Wonderland. So much backstory that needs explaining!!!

I thought the ending was ok, if a bit rushed. But if this season was just an arc in a forthcoming larger story, then I don't mind so much.


Yeah the supernatural setting does remind me of DtB, but it's so different. We have an antihero protagonist in Ganta, and a straight up BAMF in Hei.

I have an urge to now read the manga from the beginning, and see how this adaptation bended the story.

I found it kind of odd how they decided to smack some backstory right in the middle of the episode (although from what I can see, it's in the same place in the manga). Sort of anticlimatic there. Obviously with a lot of the questions the ending's pretty much designed to be open-ended, so hopefully the OVA or the second season (if it ever comes) will clear some of those things up.

While it's great that Ganta learned a new ability (which is still rather mysterious, now that I think about it), it's getting pretty boring where he just does random stuff and wins the fight miraculously (1HKO!~). It's nice to finally see him not complain about him being weak and finally do something, although he seems to have an affinity for getting seriously beat up.

Fun to see the stormtroopers getting totally team-killed. Suckers. Start vote to kick Genkaku from game?

Overall, entertaining anime, if nothing else. Lots of questions to be answered, though.

LOL...that's the cornerstone of SHOUNEN....mysterious powers and HAX victories...

Everyone does it and DW is no different, this is just something you have to live with, since they're not going to change anytime soon.

But....he did complain...he started crying and bitching about how he can't do anything and then even though he was DYING, he miraculously saves the day.

it was a nice anime, but nothing TOO special, if the ending wouldnt be rediculously open ended i could live without a second season. but as this ending would be a joke without a second season or at least a ova , im looking forward to either of those

If there is going to be a 2nd season, this anime would be good. However if not i would be very disappointed..

I must admit they did a pretty good job there with the ending..
lots of blood and no unnecessary mosaics/darkness blocking body holes
I can def see a second season coming.. the woodpecker song is pretty catchy

7/10. The plot moved so fast and yet so many things are unanswered.

I thought this ending could have been a disaster, I am glad that I was wrong. I thought they ended it quite well, leaving it open for the second season.

Also Nagi just would not die! When I thought he was gonna die, he would start talking some more lol.

I am guessing the Red Man (Shiro) and Ganta are linked in some way with that thing in Ganta's chest.

All in all, was a good watch, 8/10.

With the way they ended it, they have to have a second season. If they don't, it would be a huge disappointment.

I don't know why I enjoyed this so much, but I fucking did.

It worked. The whole thing. The abrupt ending and some choppy story sequences made me mad... but overall a damn good experience. BUT I wish they woulda waited to tell me who the f'in red-man was until the end.

One of the better shows this season imo.

7/10

5/5 for an awesome final episode, 9/10 for the series


Most of all those questions get answered later on. The series also left out small details which I'm guessing they plan to bundle in with future episodes to make them flow better. Never the less if I was new to the show I'd be a little pissed about all the open endings too. Sorry to burst your bubble but Ganta


No, the undertakes do not have branch of sin. Didn't in the manga and didn't in the show. If they did it would have been neutralized by their anti-sin stuff anyway. They where just fucked up prisoners that failed that managed to survive the promoter's fucked up rehabilitation program.
