Review 11: Deadman Wonderland (Best anime for weirdness)!!!
Deadman Wonderland is only a short series and is all about a sink hole
which destroyed Tokyo and was then re built, in the middle of the sink hole a
theme park was built....But there are no normal staff or caretakers at that
theme park..There are all Prison inmates that where sent there as a capitol
punishment, some are on death row and some are just there as a life sentence.
They have to work the whole time at the theme park, which is
coincidentally named Deadman Wonderland, they all have to wear collars as
well....These can be used as trackers, killers, poisoners and can be used to
grab your attention every once in a while. The promoter (the owner of the park)
keeps a lot of secrets all the way throughout the series, and keeps some
prisoners like pet birds.
As long as all of the inmates have the collars on they will always be
threatened by death as one of the main attractions at Deadman Wonderland is
what they call the dog race, this is just like an obstacle course but the bad
thing is depending on the promoters mood a certain amount of people will die,
when the main characters Ganta and Shiro enter the race it's set on the highest
level so nearly every single person who takes place in the race dies, on each
obstacle in the race there's another way to die and as it's the most popular
event at Deadman Wonderland thousands of people go to watch just one event of
the dog race and they all get to see the players die.
Thing is though they all think that it's all special effects and most of
them enjoy it whilst some others think it's disguisting and real, even one man
says to a friend that "who cares if they do die, there all
criminals." No one really cares but the inmates need to do this to survive
so every day they risk their lives and sometimes their ended. The inmates have
to take part to gain Cast points...
Cast Points/Cast Cards: Every inmate has to have one, whenever you take
part in a event in Deadman Wonderland you gain Cast Points they can be used for
buying food, cigarettes, drinks you name it and everyone needs them to buy
Candy....If you can't afford the Candy then you can kiss you life good bye...
Candy: In
Deadman Wonderland everyone has a collar, and these collars can obviously be
used for all sorts of things....One of the worst features is the fact that when
you put them on they automatically start to pump Poison around your body...The
Poison only takes three days to kill you and on the third day you have to take
the Candy if you don't then you'll obviously die....What the Candy does is
break down the poison so it can be disposed off through your bodies organs..If
you don't take the Candy You'll feel the effects of the poison and you'll
slowly die......(What a lovely way to threaten inmates).
Ganta: At
the beginning of the short series we see Ganta as a 14 year old high school
student in a class happily talking to his friends about their next field trip.
In the next episode we see him in Deadman Wonderland, He becomes a prison
inmate and is on death row....He learns most of the things that he needs to know
to survive off of the other inmates. In this short series Ganta is seen as weak
and spineless, he can't fight or stand up for himself very well so he stands
there and takes the criticism he gets from the other inmates. He doesn't really
learn how to stick up for himself in the series, and to say he's a main
character you would of though he would of been stronger as a person and a
Deadman, Near the end he seems a bit stronger but he hides it quite a bit.
Shiro: She
helps Ganta out quite a lot in the series and knows him from when she was
younger but he doesn't remember her....She doesn't seem to bothered about it
though and doesn't really pay attention to what Ganta says and keeps on
reminding him that he can't o everything himself. Shes always seen wearing this
weird white all in one suit, shes quite mysterious and pops up when you least
expect it. All in all shes a lovely character and loves everyone!! Her
mysterious background and sometimes quietness makes people feel a bit
uncomfortable around her.
All together the series is amazing and i wish there was a second series.
There where some really gross bits with all of the blood and gore, but if you
get past all of that then the story line is amazing and sometimes a little bit
confusing....If you don't know what i mean then pay more attention to those
little side stories with the other characters. I really do wish there was a
second series as all of the inmates could escape and tell the world about the
true intentions of the Promoter and other staff that work together to make
every one’s life a living hell.
