| Sort of emotional ending but then again I've been feeling emotional all day so that could be it, the ending did feel a tab bit forced, couldn't really feel for Decim even thought I liked him. Regardless one of my more favorite series this time around...6-7/10, well off to Death Billiards. |
| EPIC! Truly Epic episode 12 of Death Parade. Quindecim tries to smile...it was forced...and to the end, he can truly smile. That was a good ride 10/10. |
 |
| Probably the only episodic series, where I actually liked the episodic narrative. |
 |
| 6/10 - Meh. |
| That was fantastic, just too bad that it didn't proceed further. . well, maybe some ova or second season or something I don't know. The art, animation, and soundtracks were incredible. Even with all the discussion, it did not feel slow or boring at all. |
 |
| That was brilliant! After such an emotional scene is very nice that it ended with Decim's smile and with the OP ^ ^ Art: fantastic, OST: perfect, characters: great. It did a great job testing your morality. You just can't help about thinking what is good and what is not. And the dialogue was captivating. Totally love it! I don't think a 2nd season will be a good idea but an OVA showing a day off or something like that would be nice. |
 |
| A dramatic yet very lovely ending I must say! Really liked how this show progressed so well and how the characters were involved with everything! I had high hopes with Death Billiards to become a full length series and with this it sure proved that they could do it! All in all 9/10 |
 |
| That was a beautiful ending. easily a 10/10 for me. |
| How do I signature? |
| I really liked the concept and ideas they played with, but yeah I think I expected deeper content I suppose. I'll still give it a 8.5/10 but like OP, I prefer billiards too. |
 |
| I agree the story has many writing issues. It was still nice if you keep your eyes closed on them, 7/10. |
| Stand applause for the last two episodes. |
 |
| 12 episode just to see him learn to smile... overall the series is good, i guess they choose to go with a calmer ending like this |
| This ep hit me right in the feels. It's been quite awhile since an anime series made me cry like a baby. Awesome yet heartbreaking ending. Dat smile though Decim, and it seems like he missed Chiyaki even after sending her off. :') 9/10. Every ep kept me entertained. |
| Is there any show by MADhouse which is not amazing ? 8/10 I cried. |
 |
| Loved Decim's character. The ending was how I expected it to be. 12 eps was just right IMO. 8/10 |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| I'm actually expecting some action packed scenes between Oculus and Nona. Decim was finally able to judge Chiyuki. But I actually want more? |

| This anime made me to think about my own life a bit. This was awesome, the story was really unique, design, ost and animation were neat. And this episode was a total tearjerker. A good finale. |
| While there was a nice ending with Chiyuki, the bigger questions about the arbiter system were never really answered. The old man is creepy as fuck though. I like how the cat doesn't come to Ginti anymore. Serves him right. |
| what's up with people and saying that Death Billiards is better? And THIS was POORLY WRITTEN? Like, what the heck have you guys been watching? One of my personal favorites. Decim's smile at the end was really touching and seeing the puppet of Chiyuki was so heart warming :) 9/10 |
 |
| I definitely thought it finished well but I agree that for an arbiter with emotions they really made decim the only one without emotions. Of course you could look at it in terms of character development but overall that shift in the focus and plot dampened my enjoyment of this series as a whole. Showing the raw human emotion exposed and the questions it posed were interesting. |
| Pretty unique anime. A lot different than most anime out there, but I enjoyed it. 9/10 |

| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I thought shit about to go down when Oculus knew what's going on with Decim and his emotion, but he didn't do anything "yet". So Chiyuki will be reincarnated by the looks of it, and Decim made a puppet version of Chiyuki to accompany him, that's kinda sad and sweet at the same time Overall score 9/10, will be missed ♥, i wouldn't mind for a 2nd season |
 |
| congrats Death Parade, for join in my favorite animes. 10/10 |
 |
| Wow! For something like this, it turned out very good. Truly there is some understanding of humans at work here as well as morality being put into questioning (and of course Japanese values incorporated). I feel like if they took some time to develop Death Parade more, it would turn out to be spectacular! The ending is indeed kind of trolllollol but it was good in a way. Would like to see a second season but I don't think it'll turn out well because of the way the 1st season finished. Maybe if they did a different take on it it would be nice to watch. |
| Didn't expect much from this show as I didn't like Death Billiard, but at least that helped me not get disappointed by how average it was. I guess Decim and Chiyuki's story was interesting, and the comedy was gold, but every other side character (Nona, Quin, Ginti, old guy, elevator guy) felt like they were just there to be there. Nona was only there for Decim's development, and she barely got any development at all. I guess it could have been a bit better if it was 2-cour and every character got some episodes. Other than that, the best episodes were the judgment episodes. Everything in-between was kinda mediocre, with episode 2 and 5 being pretty bad. I'd give it a 5/10, but the OP alone deserves one extra point, so 6/10. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| those ninja cut onions like there's no tomorrow! 10/10 |
| It would've been nice if they showed some backstory of some/all of the arbiters but this was a good anime. The ending was satisfying. |
 |
| The overarching plot with Decim, Chiyuki, Nona and whoever else was disappointing. I found to episodic stories with the guests to be much more fascinating. Lifelike characters expressing raw human nature/emotion in way Madhouse could only animate. The transitions into the ED was amazing for those episodes. Overall, flawed but still better than most. |
marriage said: Since Onna was sent to reincarnation they shouldve added a scene at the very end in a new form seeing her mom again or smth like in Angel Beats anyway 9/10, episode 11 was definitely the best of the show lol she's not gonna see her mom again or have any memory of this ever happening. did u guys actually miss the irony of the 2 routes ?? :P |
 |
| There are so many loose ends and tons of unanswered questions. A season 2 will be nice. |
| 10 is not enough rate for this show :) I loved everything in this anime from the first episode to the bitter end |

TheUnbiasedOne91 said: Decim crying was just as painful as XXXXX's death imo OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU JUST POST THAT UNMARKED IN AN UNRELATED ANIME THREAD THE DAY AFTER THE EPISODE AIRED. NOT EVERYONE WATCHES ANIME THE DAY THEY AIR LOL? ARE YOU STUPID DASDASD This show was great, was just coming here to see people's opinions about it, and this idiot had to spoil that other unrelated anime for no fucking reason great. Death Parade was a solid 8/10, but yeah, fuck you, TheUnbiasedOne. Hope you go to the void rofl. |

| 10/10 OP 7/10 anime |
 |
| So this was an interesting anime L iked it 7/10 |
 |
| To be honest i didn't find the show as amazing as many people here. The characters never really make me feel much for them. They all seemed so distant for some reason. I found myself feeling a lot more for the human characters being judged that appeared on only 1 or 2 episodes actually. Second they tried to put a more wholesome plot other that the episodic lives of secondary characters but that plot let to nowhere really and hardly felt like it gave any meaning to the show. |
| Finally made the time to watch the last two episodes. Both were pretty amazing. I already saw screenshots of Decim crying and smiling but goddamn, it was so powerful when I saw it animated. Wow. I'm actually really sad that Chiyuki and Decim had to part in the end just when he finally gained emotions. Would make a great AU story. Excellent series overall. I'll give it a solid 8/10. It would be a 9 but I found not all of the episodes consistently "masterful". Some episodes were legit 10/10 worthy like the last one or some near the beginning but the main story episodes I found a bit weaker and dull almost to the point where I wish I could have skipped them. I found the episodic cases in the beginning much more interesting. I think the show could be better if it had started off weaker and then grew into something huge which would make a bigger impact at the end, just like another episodic-gone-serious show "Miracle Train" which pulled it off very well. The music, art, animation and similar factors were done extremely well. Based Madhouse. |
| It was a very touching episode. I, for one, hope that there won't be a second season though; it just won't feel the same without Chiyuki. The dynamic between her and Decim is really what makes this show great. Decim's crying really got to me though, especially when he learned how crippling sorrow can be, but he also learned to smile. Nonna took a risk and it looks like it paid off. I've been watching the dub, and Alex Organ does a superb job truly. He's quickly becoming one of my top favourite voice actors. |
