This story is incredibly dark, and it's fairly violent. It's not necessarily for the faint of heart, I'll put it that way. Deadman Wonderland is a prison and amusement park that is maintained by the prisoners. Beneath this prison lies the darkest of it's secrets. Prisoners with unique special abilities (superpowers that use their blood as weapons) are pitted against each other in brutal fights for entertainment. The events that lead to the prisons creation are unraveled as the story goes on, and a faint glimmer of hope rears it's little head as Ganta must find a way to survive this living nightmare.

Thankfully Ganta has one friend when he arrives, or is she really the friend she says she is? There is a lot of mystery in this story, and it's the mystery that drives the storyline. The artwork is well done, and it introduces some interesting characters along the way. Ganta is filled with grief and despair, but there's something about him that attracts a few of the other prisoners to him.

This is a good adaptation of the manga series, which is currently ongoing (though on an extended break at this point in time). The anime ends just as the story is really starting to unravel. This is a good introduction to the manga series, and it's definitely worth watching every episode.

This is a must see, add it to your short list.
