Deadman Wonderland: Ganta |
I saw an article online and I can't understand why this anime is getting so much hate. I personally loved it. From what I understand from the article and the comments people were disappointed with the ending of the manga, and how the anime does not follow the same path as the manga. I don't think these are reasons why you should hate an anime. (but to all their own)
The anime is about a boy named Ganta who gets framed for killing his entire class. Being the only one who knows the unbelievable truth about how his friends died and not being able to defend himself, he is sent to prison on a death sentence. The prison is privately run facility that makes its prisoners play dangerous survival games for entertainment. He is surrounded by bloodthirsty inmates with a collar around his neck that is slowly killing him. While all he can think of is getting back at the Red Man who killed his friends and brought him to this hell.
That's basically the gist of it, but on a deeper level. The prison represents our society but the only difference is that the people in there are criminals and no one cares about their voices. So the things that are done behind closed doors and under disguises are done openly in the prison.
Now you tell me how is that a bad plot? I know many things were twisted and creepy but if that's a problem you shouldn't watch something like this it to begin with. In addition to that if the story line is wavering away from the manga, that's not too bad either. As I am sure the writers would make ends meet and justify the happily/ sadly ever after.
For someone like me who hasn't read the manga there are a lot of things I am curious about. There are too many stones left unturned. This anime deserves a second season to answer all the questions it raised. It deserves a second season because the anime is really cool, not just the plot but the underlying themes are well thought.
My favorite thing about the anime: The Woodpecker Song (it gave me goosebumps when i first heard it, even though it is really simple)
