I liked the second episode the same as the first. The atmosphere is so great. However, Shiro annoys me, I find her worse than Ganta.

This episode was hard to sit through. Was pretty disgusted at the audience in general.

Good show but the opening song is very crappy. Worst OP song in long time.

I dug it. I haven't read the manga so the deviation didn't affect me. I have my guesses on who Shiro is and what her motivations are.

I really like the sense of urgency that's created by the candy/poison dynamic. It makes every moment very important, while still keeping the prisoners in a pained state of emergency just to buy a few more moments to live.

I thought the episode was pretty cool and the opening was awesome. At least Ganta realized that that Shiro was helping him the whole time. I mean I don't see any other way that he could of made it to the end. It was a good episode.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I honestly don't know what to make of this anime so far. The premise is cool, but at the same time it doesn't make much sense right now (along with other things).

Like Shiro didn't even seem to care that she was about to die. Nevermind the people watching the bloodbath. For every "oh cool" moment I had, there was an equivalent "wait.. wut??"

I just wanted to say how much I love the music in this show. It really helps drive home the fact that this place is designed solely to FUCK YOU UP. Reminds me of Borderlands (which I've been playing a lot of recently).
Ha-cha!

In all honesty, I have to support that prison. Today's prisoners barely do anything aid in society; if anything, they still make it worse, while feeding off the people's money. I think this is really good solution to our prison problems, added the profit which helps stimulate the economy (to what extent? I don't know). Not only that, these prisons would make a huge mark on the people saying "DON'T DO THE CRIME, AND YOU WON'T END UP LIKE THESE BASTARDS"

So yeah, I support this kind of prison system.

Where is Azami? Unless the Anime takes a completely different path then the Manga, as in the first Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) Anime, then I will not forgive the Deadman Wonderland Anime for screwing up the story. Hopefully, they introduce Azami sometime later.

Loved Shiro! She's awesome! (^ _ ^)b This episode was a little more flat lined, and understandable. I still don't know exactly where we're going, but I hope we get somewhere within the next few episodes. Looking forward to the next!

I really want to like Shiro, but she's just kind of annoying me.
I mean, it's cool to have a light-hearted character to balance out the darkness, but she's a bit too much for me.
I'd like for them to give her a back story or something soon.

Other than that, good episode!

I wonder how I'd react going to a show and discovering it was something like that. Would I realize what was really happening or would I be convinced it was just a show. Like wrestling, you can't always tell when someone is really hurt.

Crazy episode, I love the opening song.

WHAT CENSORS???? :O !!!

I really liked this episode. Ganta is getting cuter, Shiro is getting less annoying, and Makina is wayyyy cool!!

It's pretty sad that it isn't following the manga, but I guess when manga are made into anime, it's more exciting and 'original' to not follow the manga exactly~

Not that I've read Deadman Wonderland...

I like this.

Anyone else notice the last picture in the ED with a young boy and girl looking very much like Ganta and Shiro together...? As in, they were kids? Is this important or am I just looking into things too much?

Anyway, awesome episode. Liking the BGM.

The audience thinks that it is only special effects in the race. If we had a prison like that, then people will be afraid to commit murders. LOL.

Who exactly is Shiro?She obviously is not a ghost or something that only Ganta sees.But don't you find it strange that there is a girl in a men's prison, wandering around, entering races and no one seems to bother or wonder who the hell she is???They act like it is completely normal for her to be there..

Anyway, the episode was just for my tastes..All this violence against the prisoners shocked me.I never thought they would be treated like that, even if they are convicted felons.

That is one awesome opening. The song is great and the video is one of the best I've seen in a while.

The censorship is bothersome, but hardly ruins the enjoyment. I'm liking this show so far, though some parts make me cringe. Gross~ I also found it really funny when the guy randomly yelled at Shiro during the game xD She's good for comedy relief.

pretty good anime
shiro is sooo cute and ganta is voiced by romi paku who is the voice for hitsugaya as well, it sounds a lot like him in many ways. Romi paku is a great voice actress.
i am hooked on this anime :)

Nice ep, easy to watch. I like the OP, bit of rock sort of OP, would even fit the show more if the main char was older and a bit more badass. Altough there is a little bit of badass hidden in Ganta.

This episode seemed sadistic for the sake of being sadistic....

It didn't make sense at all!!!

If there were a race where everyone dies except for one person EVERY DAY, then there wouldn't be any prisoners after one week or one month.

....oh and don't get me started on the girl, everyone acts normal around her....WTF?!?!?!

This shit makes NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The OP is AWESOME!!! ED is good too :3
Oh dear, Takami is working for Tamaki (lol those names). His voice sounds really familiar for some reason. Shiro helping Ganta out throughout the race was awesome. So glad he saved her at the end ... oh yea, and the music in this show is so epic! O_O
They're killing off random prisoners too, even not the ones on death row it looks like? Wow ... that kind of really sucks O_O

Shiro is the cutest piece of fuck you I've ever seen. I'm not so sure about Ganta, I mean, he is realistic and all, but I'm not sure if he'll be interesting 'till the end of the show. Great op, great ep.

Shiro unbelievably cute in this episode, where I thought she was annoying in the 1st episode.

No superpower used in this episode, so I kinda get disappointed. Hopefully, there will be some superpowers involved in the next episode~

Dam that was a really good OP the music was awesome and the animation was as good. The race was pretty wicked was not expecting to see all that in just one race and I actually got a few laughs from it.

gaaah that opening theme was just sick xD just my type of music aswell! Overall the episode was very good, I cant really complain like some people as I haven't read the manga, but yeah I loved the race, and that bully was a total ass, glad he died! Very sweet when Ganta saved Shiro as-well at the end :)
