| Well, that was exciting. Overall, I enjoyed the show. I'll probably rewatch it again sometime in the future. Decim's fake smile...I'm gonna have nightmares now. |
| Am I the only one who found it hot, when the anime introduced Chiyuki past boyfriend? I'm glad she got a good ending. |
 |
| One of the best this year (So far). Holy hell this last episode was just so touching. The feels came poring. Got an Angel Beats kind of ending tbh. Ah well, overall I give this show a 9/10. Enjoyed this show so much. OP was a clear 10/10 though <3 |

| An ending that does not seem to end, but the feelings often lead to mistakes; for my part I would like another season and close the story properly because the TV series was beautiful, but still has minor defects. The narrative as a whole was not so unpredictable, although the final minutes were harbingers of a novelty that I did not expect. Perhaps in the end, as Decim, even for Ginti the passing of his guests was not an easy step; but something more. That's how I explain the dolls that he has on the counter. I must admit that MadHouse once again, he has produced a TV series is short, but with what it takes to become perhaps a evergreen Japanese animation. I enjoyed this series and I'm glad I saw it. The characters in this show, proved charismatic but have not been characterized much. Nice OST, ED and OP. 9/10 |
 |
| Definitely one of the better anime to come out recently. Gripping story, very interesting characters and just an all-out amazing anime. 9/10 |

| Damn Ginti. I bet he put everyone into void. |
 |
| what can i say, the show was kinda pretty messy and had some holes left uncovered...BUT madhouse is really mad producing CLEVER concepts such as these: a very deep and complex theme ahead-of-its-time by today's standards...a little polish on its narrative and this could have been a serious masterpiece. Death Billiards and this was even a concept way back 2013 as an entry for Anime Mirai and composed by young up-and-coming animators, and its something funded by *plottwist* The Japanese Government 0_0 with a very indie vibe, its 8/10...and again i should emphasize that this story was "Way Ahead Of Its Time" |
| Ugh I love this anime the part where she went back to see her mom and the elevator part was so sad T__T |
 |
| Pretty good show, especially the ending was quite a nice way to finish it off without making it feel so rushed. Loved! Especially when Decim cried. But that old Geezer is creepy, would have been interesting to learn a little more about him but overall a 8/10 for me. |
 |
| What a waste of time. Honestly the only thing good about this anime is that ending theme. Maybe I'm missing something but what does this show have that makes it AOTS, exactly? Predictable and forced character development (Decim feels human emotions, yay , didn't see that coming), side characters (the arbiters and the old man, not the people who play the games) that add NOTHING to the show and just wasted screen time, extremely rushed ending, boring and poorly done way to handle a pretty interesting concept, very repetitive, unanswered questions about the arbiters and where they came from, unneeded episodes (the twister one for example), and just overall a poorly-written anime. I think if this anime was longer it would be more interesting, allowing the characters to be fleshed out more. As it is right now, I just don't see why people like this anime. |

The same way that i don't see why people hate this show... (impressive animation,impressive ost, a good plot and a brilliant director in a impressive shows) |

| I liked this anime but in my opinion it deserved more episodes. Some of the characters needed more screentime too. |
 |
| Fantastic, I loved that production of this anime. I quite thrilled with the final, and that incredible opening. |
| I felt like the show could have been handled better, particularly with the characters and their awkward development and how the show's plot goes from basically episodic to mediocre plot with not much point. But other than that, I have to give it a lot of points for originality, the story definitely wasn't cliche, and neither were the characters, and not many people delve this deep into the realm of death. Solid 8/10 for that. |

| Manly tears were shed. This was a hell of a journey 9/10 |
 |
| Tough to let go a person when you get too close to him/her Decim finally able to pass down the Judgement but couldn't hide those tears but finally learn to laugh :D |

Tokyo_Kushuu said: Oh and does anyone get why Clavis said smth like "This is different from the usual" at the end? I was wondering that as well. I think it's because since Decim is on floor 15 he is usually riding the elevator to a higher floor, but this time he was riding to a lower floor. |

| Incredible series! Went from 8->7->9 for me. Man... that was just so damn good... ;-; |
 |
| Loved this show. Hope for S2 even if I doubt there will be a second season. Still too many open questions though :/ |
 |
| I really enjoyed this show, I rate things based off of enjoyment so I'd probably give this an 8 or 9. Probably my only gripe is that I didn't understand the importance and predominance of Chavvot. I don't understand people who say this series doesn't need a 2nd season because this was concluded nicely. I agree that there is nothing left to the story between Decim and Chiyuki, but they could definitely make another season about the afterlife. I mean, there are so many unanswered questions about it. It's like Psycho-Pass. They could have ended it with the first season because the main conflict was solved, but there were still problems fundamentally wrong with the society, so there was (and stil is) material for more story even though they had new characters. In Death Parade, the judgement system is still not just. There are still problems with the arbiters. We could have another series about how the judgement system is revolutionized so the judgements are truly fair. Or expanding about human emotions in arbiters. Or the conflict with Nonna. |

| Amazing work madhouse <3 9 or 10 can't decide |

| Best series I've watched in a while. Hope for a season 2 <3 |
| I cried. And I don't regret crying. I cried a few times too. Like episode 4 with that glasses guy and Chiyuki's test. So sad... this made suicide a very powerful meaning. How it effects other people. How you didn't see the feelings of others. Very beautiful. A life lesson in one season about how to appreciate life and how suicide does not solve your problem and it brings pain to others. 10 is not enough, I have to put this in my favorite list. |
 |
| Great ending to a very good series. |
| I really loved this show. I hope for more anime like this~ |

| 8/10. It was really interesting at first with the episodic parts that focused intensely on the two people's lives and deaths. Really made you think and wonder why they were sent where they were. Just look at the forums for those eps and you'll see. Those were my favorite episodes. Yet, after some time, the show became cluttered with Nona's convoluted character and her attempts to change the arbiters. Not much closure on that plotline either. Wasn't a huge fan and lowered the show for me from its initial masterpiece-level. OP is amazing. Chiyuki's skate scene was amazing. Thought Decim's breakdown this episode was a little over-the-top. Overall, really intriguing, but sorta missed the mark. |
| Overall, it was great. I loved the feels in the last episode. Oh god they made me cry so much. 8/10. Nona was best char. Didn't enjoy the OP too much tho. |
| Good ending to a nice show, though some episodes felt a bit filler like/weaker than the OVA did. I'm glad that Chiyuki got a chance to be reincarnated but also sad that Decim is now alone again, sigh. The open ending is okay, I kinda hoped for a bit more of a revolution in the system but it's a good start I guess :) |
| wow. emotional ep. Truly enjoyed this series. (7/10) !! |
| Well this was full of feels :') Though like many said Death Billiards was a tad bit better. I don't know, I think the lack of episodes kinda messed it up. Like the focus on the back story of Arbiter's, Nona and the rest wasn't handled very well. If there is some kind of sequel, I hope it focuses on building this world instead of the humans. Either way a great ride. Really enjoyed it! Seriously this is one of the best OP's ever! I binge watched this and I didn't skip it ONCE! 8/10 |
| Ah the scene where Decim cried was so magnificent and his smile at the end was perfect |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Unexpectedly good. It had a bit of everything. Really enjoyed this 9/10. |
| Overall this show proved to be interesting and as usual Madhouse does a good job in terms of art and production but the show had so much more potential that was wasted in my opinion. The main issue, in my opinion, was the character flaws. The arbiters were full of emotions even though they were supposed to be emotionless dummies. Most of them showed happiness, anger, impatience and etc. I also believe the show could have utilized the episodic nature of the plot more creatively. I gave this show a 7/10 (thanks to the production quality) but it certainly had the potential to be an 8/10 but sadly fell short. |
 |
| Certainly an unmissable anime. The animation is impeccable, the moments when Chiyuki was skating were amazing. The ost is good too, but I need highlight the opening, one of the best and funniest openings I've ever seen. And I loved the way the plot was developed between the main characters. Definitely an excellent show, 8/10. |
 |
| While this anime did have it's flaws, I still enjoyed it. Not gonna lie. I teared when Chiyuki began regretting killing herself, then Decim started crying and that was it for me. Beautiful anime that could've been much more if it had better writing. |
 |
| I wish the show could have been a little longer. I wouldn't have minded if they explored the side characters (Nona, Ginti, elevator guy, etc.) and have more episodes with the arbiters at work. I found those episodes far more engaging than Chiyuki's story. Maybe I was expecting too much for Chiyuki's background story (she seemed special and all compared to other humans) because I wasn't too impressed with the last 2 episodes. It was heart tugging but it didn't have the wow factor. Overall, I enjoyed watching Death Parade although I don't see myself re-watching it in the future. 8/10 |
| I cried on this episode a lot. One of the best series I watched this year. She left, she reincarnated. :o Moral of the story: Don't kill yourself. Hope there will be a second season. |
