Review of Death Parade

The Storyline was unique, amazing, and brilliant and kept me going until the very end. Throughout the whole Anime I was on a roller-coaster ride full of emotions that I never knew I could possess. When I first got into the Anime I never thought I would end up crying. There wasn’t anything that I can fault on, with the storyline, nothing at all.

The Animation and Sound were WONDERFUL for the Anime. Had the most catchy tune for the opening and then a sad, ballad, rocky song for the ending. The animation for the endings was amazingly chosen, as in they had the ending different depending on what the main topic or issue or person the episode was about. Also the original voice actors and English dubbed voice actors WERE BOTH amazing and suited their roles really well.

The Characters that I can’t fault were amazingly written and AHHHHHHHH I loved them all for different reasons, especially the two main characters. The black-haired woman is the main female character and the reason she’s called that is because she has no memories of whom she is. She is strong willed and voices her own opinion even though she has no memories she knows in her heart how she feels and what she wants. Decim the main male character is just really cool, and has such a weird but awesome personality. I love how their relationship progresses through the series. Ginti is also one of my other favourite characters, as he’s just carefree and I just love him.

Overall I adored this Anime, and I am not normally the one that rates Psychological and Thrillers high ratings but this Anime, just blew my mind and whether or not you normally watch this kind of Anime, please give it ago.

Anime Recommendation #10: Death Parade

Description:
When two people die at the same time, they're sent to a place that's neither heaven nor hell: a lavish bar between worlds where the stakes are high and the rules are simple: if you win you live again, if you die you're gone for good. Decim is the bartender charged with serving the souls who enter Quindecim. He may make a mean cocktail, but his true profession is to play the role of arbiter: a judge who determines whether or not a soul is worthy of reincarnation. To aid in his judgment, the bar's patrons are forced to play simple games laced with sadistic twists designed to bring their true natures to light. To Decim, judgment has always been black and white - that is until he meets a mysterious young woman whose fate seems impossible to decide. His indecision shakes the very foundation of the games and raises the biggest question of all: who is fit to judge the dead?

Reason for Recommendation:
I remember when I went to watch this thinking I was most likely not going to enjoy as much as I did. My emotions wasn't ready for this Anime and It felt like the emotional roller coaster ride was never going to end. The Animation was wonderful and the addicting opening song was one of the things that sold this Anime to me. All of the characters were well written and developed. If you are a fan of Death Note or Angel Beats then this could be the one for you.
