Well, let's get into this review....
You might often ask yourself, "What happens when we die?" "Do we have an afterlife? "Are we reincarnated?" "Does heaven and hell even exist?" Well tbh nobody knows exactly but Death Parade might give you some insight to your questions.
Before I started to watch Death Parade, I was somewhat worried that the series wouldn't live up to its hype, or keep me at least somewhat interested. Luckily, I was completely wrong, the story was developed much better than I, myself anticipated. With the name Death Parade, you would normally think about a bunch of innocent people dying, and someone celebrating their deaths, at least that's what I thought similar to Death Note plot Inserts evil laugh.
Sadly, there is no ACTUAL storyline within the series, you'll find out why but hey, screw that. (still a better love story than Twilight) If you liked the OVA (Death Billards) not only will like the series, you might fall head over heels.
As far as animation and sound, I expected no less from Madhouse productions (Hunter x Hunter, Death Note, One Punch Man) the animation pure marvelous, including sound as well. However, the intro (Flyers by Bradio) was ABSOLUTELY NOT what I was expecting, but hold up wait it's an awesome song as a matter of fact with a nice, catchy beat to it. I could say "that the upbeat song does not match the anime AT ALL. As far as the outro song (Last Theater by Noisy Cell) greatly fits within the show's atmosphere perfectly.
Damn Madhouse back at with the God animation and fire ass soundtrack
The series offers a very FAVORABLE set of characters, which are superb played out. I bet my throne, that you will develop some feels with some characters, shit I even cried a couple times. I might also add that not one character is left out of the spotlight, therefore, each and every character will seem interesting, hell even the side characters you know nothing to little about. Disappointedly, there is all almost no character development in this series, which makes this series falls short at times. My name is PrinceLeo and I highly recommend this series! So go on and watch you won't be disappointed unless you're just a plain hater. :I
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!! GO ON KISSANIME AND WATCH IT, HELL EVEN IF YOU WATCHED IT ALREADY, DO IT AGAIN, REWATCH IT NOW!!!!
You: "But I already-"
Me: "Watch it before I lose what little sense of reasoning I have left....."
P.S If you liked Death Note then you'll most certainly like Death Parade....
Story 5/10
Character 8.5/10
Animation & Sound 10/10
Overall 9.6/10
Upsides: Good animation, lots of emotion, interesting back stories, favorable characters, little to no fandom/ fanservice, dope ass soundtrack, a few good laughs, Unpredictable outcomes, almost no fanservice. Free shit....
Downsides: Little to no character development, NO ACTUAL STORYLINE, and I think that's it lol sorry it took so long guys =D
The second pic is a hint for next review, until next time guys!
