So basically, there's this prison/amusement park and most of it's prisoners have this crazy power that involves them using their blood to fight, and some of these prisoners were framed so the prison/amusement park can make a nice profit. Deadman Wonderland is the name of this prison. Probably because most of the people are on Death Row.
The story kicks off with Ganta Igarshi looking up Deadman Wonderland as his class were going there for a school trip. It's all sunshine and rainbows when BAM all his classmates are murdered by "The Red Man" who is one of the people with the blood power. He puts something in Ganta (the power) before he blacks out. When he wakes up he realises he is being accused of murdering all his classmates. He was framed and the person behind it made a video to back them up with framing him.
So Ganta is thrown into Deadman Wonderland where your life is just made a misery and there's nothing you can do about it... except die.
The art looked nice, I liked how some characters were drawn but others annoyed me. The scenes looked amazing, except that one scene that I couldn't watch because it was quite gruesome.
The sounds was good, the background music fit the mood and the opening song was really really good. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending though.
The characters were good. Ganta really annoyed me though, he was so wimpy, fair enough he was thrown into a prison with a high possibility of a painful death and death is only slightly avoidable. But he was wimpy and annoying before he was thrown into Deadman Wonderland. So if you can't stand characters like that, stay away from this anime.
Shiro was really funny and adorable, she was a badass too. She was there for fun and nothing else. Even when she was right at death's door she didn't give a damn all she did was jump around and smile and tell everyone how Ganta was her bestest buddy. Even though he couldn't remember her because he's a jackass like that.
Overall I enjoyed Deadman Wonderland. I do recommend it but only if you can bear extremely wimpy main characters..(just Ganta but he could fill about 20 roles of wimpy characters). If you are easily scared by gruesome scenes I don't advise you to watch this as there are several scenes like that. But other than that it's really good and enjoyable.
