Deadman Wonderland is a 1-cour series, meaning it only had 13-16 episodes. The manga itself has around 56 chapters, which could equal around to about a 2-cour series, 24 episodes or longer. But, I understand, that at the time when Deadman Wonderland was airing, that all chapters weren't released. That's fine. But to this date, we still haven't got a second season. Trolls?
Story: 7/10
The story itself is actually pretty good. Igarashi Ganta is framed for murdering all of his classmates in a tragic accident, when in reality, it was some Red Man that murdered all of his classmates. I mean, we even saw him dragging someones head across the floor. Is that murder? Nah. Seems fine.
The Red Man struck some weird shit into Ganta. It was some red thing, but to me I call that the "Red Deadman Converter Thingy", The Red Man struck that into Ganta and shit went down after that.
Ganta faced court the day after, or month, I don't know and he was found to be guilty. So, he went to a prison called Deadman Wonderland which is a prison filled with Deadmen, which are people with the power to wield weapons using their blood. Cheating, yes I know.
He meets a lot of prisoners there (what? really? not like its a prison.) and becomes friends with like 3 of them, the others are dicks.
Art: 8/10
The art is okay. It sticks to the art style of the manga, so I really do not mind it at all. I think it sticks to the art style of the manga, I cannot remember. They both look similar, so who cares.
Sound: 6/10
The opening of the anime is good, and some background music tracks are good. Everything else... eh...
Character: 6/10
There's not enough character development in this series, except maybe just Ganta's development. None of the other characters really developed that well, considering how well they were handled in the manga.
Overall: 5/10
The anime was a huge disappointment after reading the manga, which I loved. I know I shouldn't compare the two (Manga and Anime) but I do. Should I compare? Yes, I actually think I should. Adaptions to Manga are generally not that good but anything in my list that is above a 6 is good. So, Deadman Wonderland is not that great of an adaption.
The manga of Deadman Wonderland is much better. If you'd like the ending not to be a trolly piece of shit, then read the manga. The manga is a great series and is one of my favorites til' this day. These have been my opinions and I have no idea if I've convinced anyone to watch/read it. If I have, congratulations. You should really read the manga. It's a great series.
