I know it's been a while after this has finished airing, but I've just watched it and read this topic. And I've seen a lot of people bitching about „how could they really think that one boy killed 29 people?“ blah blah.
It's obvious that these law people are corrupt!! They make it so obvious in this anime and you don't even notice it?
From the first grin, the voice of that public lawyer that will „help Ganta“ I knew he wants to get him in jail just as much as the police! They make it really really obvious. And after that, we've even got wanting his "gift" and the bitch saying that Ganta will die "in an accident"!

And about the victims' families: when you lose what you love the most, you'll blame anyone who may seem responsible. If others blame Ganta, they will blame him too, because they don't have anyone else.

Eck... just watched this first episode, and it really came across as awkward in a variety of ways!

'We're so innocent in our happy school life~ I can't wait to go on a trip together!' 'Yeah, I'm glad we decided to go to to a prison to watch serial killers be abused' - What?

'This kid has been unconscious since the murders, and is in a hospital bed. Let's tell him he's the murderer the moment he wakes up from his coma' - What?

'So, here's our setting that's similar to Battle Royale... might as well go all the way! Here are your Battle Royale collars and rucksacks!' - What?

'I'm a cutesy girl in a skintight suit for fanservice! I say dumb things but guys like dumb things, teehee. ^.~ Hope you like me as a primary focus for the main character even though my existence here and conversation lines are more out-of-nowhere and less coherent than the rushed intro!' - What?

'Here's this high security prison... park... thing... with a super expensive tower, that someone managed to put a bomb on top of to blow it up.' - Do they allow prisoners to carry around bombs? Or do they allow visitors to take bombs into a prison and then freely let them climb the tower? Or do the owners of the prison bomb their own expensive towers? Nothing makes any sense!


I'm still kind of interested in watching the main story of the show, but this first episode... so very awkward.

This episode was a bit out there, I seriously doubt one student can kill 29 and rip them to pieces so quickly. O well seems interesting will see how it goes.

It's a good first episode. From what I've seen, his lawyer is also the guy in charge of deadman wonderland. That's a conflict of interest since they make money off the prisoners in the for profit prison. I hardly believe that the court system would ignore that fact.

Ganta has powers too, so this should be an interesting series.

It's my second time watching Deadman Wonderland, I was watching it when was released, but I couldn't continue because of personal affairs.

Now I'm gonna finish it. I think it's pretty good.

Um Yea, how big are those titties? I'm a G!

Damn, bitch is crazy

If not for the dialog alone, I will def be buying this when FUNi drops it....

Man, I watched the first ep of this subbed, when it was airing. I thought it was pretty good, and put it on my ptw list, and it's been on there for a year.
But damn, that's one of the best dubs FUNi's put out in a while.
And, I was just thinking I need a good mind-f*** dub, we don't get a lot of those these days.

So... the only thing this anime has going for it is the violence. The plot and premise are stupid: one big battle royal, diguised as a carnival.


I'm disappointed by the plot, they condamn him so easily, nobody think about a personality disorder.
The action is good, but it's not enough because for now there is no psychology at all.
I give 3/5 to the first episode, I hope it gets better.

Interesting start of this Anime, in this first episode already allot has happened, but seeing how the story went in this I assume it will be a life in that part until he finds a way to get revenge against that red man! He received some kind of powers from that dude IDK why though but I'm sure we'll figure out sooner or later, the character design is quite interesting though and the ED from this episode does seem quite interesting showing picture's of their pasts explaining how the girl knows him probably from the time he spent in tokyo!

Either way nice start let's see what this Anime has to offer us! 9/10 from this first episode!

Gets a death sentence before figuring out how he killed all his classmates, fail justice system. Even if there's a tape saying he did it, it still doesn't explain how it's even possible.

I liked this a whole lot better than the first time I tried it back when it came out. I'm not sure if I'm watching an uncensored version or not, the gory parts were very dark but not as dark as I remember them being. Still hard to see what was going on.

Loving the ED!

First episode is cool. Sucks that Ganta got framed for killing his classmates.
And it seems that candy is important in order to prolong the prisoners death penalties.

Few times do I enjoy such an accelerated and straight forward plot, but in this case I think it actually suited this episode just fine.
Can´t say I really understand what´s going on, though it seems it´ll be a very enjoyable experience.

'"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"?

Heh, All i gotta say is wow. If i was that kid i'd want to die too, his luck is so bad that its farfetched. Pretty insano. An amusement park in a prison? Just the place i'd want to be. ;) And whose that girl? Some alien, or futurisic naked fighter...

The 'Red Man' intrigues me the most.

I like how it all start just like some any other school life anime and then it turns to hell.:) Whole setup not really convincing nor realistic... like, child being sentenced to death, lol? Private prison that feeds inmates to death shows? Oh, but it's just insignificant small details, what's important that this whole stuff was really enjoying to watch.

Great start! The episode went by so fast...damn poor kid lost his best friends and entire class and he's the only one who survived. D: So of course everyone thinks he did it...even though we know he didn't and it's frustrating to see all that. -_-

Shiro is adorable, love her already. <3

Love Ganta's voice, I recognized it the second I started watchng I immediately thought of Hange from AoT and I knew it, I was so happy haha. xD
