Not sure what is wrong with me lately!! I’ve been trying a lot more anime than usual!! I miss those days when I would go crazy about an anime…like Marimite and Last Friends!! Deadman Wonderland is another weird one where it’ll probably take us another episode or two to figure out what’s going on.
A class of students is attacked by some non-human form – almost like an explosion which kills everyone except for one boy. The non-human killer seems to leave a mark on the boy’s chest. Why let him live? The boy is then said to have killed the whole class since he is the only survivor. The poor thing! Doesn’t quite make sense but let’s move on. He is found guilty and is sentenced to death but while pending for the sentence, he spends time at the privately run prison – Deadman Wonderland. Apparently the prisoners here run an amusement park…uh huh!! What the heck!? There is also a strange albino looking girl with white hair. More importantly, in the face of danger, the boy seems to call upon some dark powerful strength that seems very similar to power used to kill the class of students…The art is pretty good but pretty darn gory!! I’d say I’ll give it one more episode…

This one… I enjoyed it so tremendously that I had to check out the manga.. I am totally hooked! The anime might be gory but they are largely censored, the manga had EVERYTHING<3 The pace is fast and plots everchanging, just when you have a sense of secureness, wham, they hit you with shocking twists! Definitely recommend to all gore lovers out there, for the faint hearted, here's a lolipop-@. xD

The manga was ridiculously brilliant, I’m so glad I gave it a second chance; it was certainly worth spending time reading it! Secrets were revealed one after another – each chapter I was like “omg :O”.. Definitely, definitely, definitely recommend the manga and the anime, of course!
Ahh! Can’t wait until ch44 is released! Q(>”<;)

Hehee~ High 5!!
I dunno if you feel the same way whilst reading the manga but, it’s somewhat similar to Battle Royale. For example, the collar, the rules, the “battle”, etc… :S
Do you have any other awesome manga you would recommend? not too gory though, I am very squeamish.. lool :'(

Aloha! I’m baack! xD
Lol, I agree.. Deadman Wonderland is absolutely gruesome… I personally wouldn’t go for that kind of genre.. But it got me curious to see what’s going to happen to the poor boy xD let’s just hope it’s not going to turn out to be another harem-ish anime… :(
Also, maybe A Channel can lighten you up! It’s a comedy, romance, slice of life and… a bit of yuri! :O <3

I don’t blame you, Nakayo lol~ A Channel is not something I would get excited or chase after, but rather something pleasant to watch when there’s nothing else is on ^^

OH boy you two crazy people!!! I’m still kind of watching it but it’s a bit disturbing! I’m not sure whether it was because of watching this show but I dreamt that someone was trying to kill me -_-”
I must say that I think I will still watch it cos the idea is somewhat refreshing. Oh and CoffeeStain! You’re right! It does kind of remind me of Battle Royale. Eek,.!!

@Nakayo, it does right? haha~ But of course, DW is not as extreme as Battle Royale *shivers*
@Ninnypanties, Thank you for the recommendations! I just skim read the first few chapters of Kurosagi Shitai Takuhaibin – surprisingly intriguing~ at first, I thought it would be something similar to Uzumaki O_O but it’s not, phew! haha
