This anime uses an event driven plot rather than a character driven one, and because of that the protagonist and his fellow inmates are simply along for the ride. Now this may confuse some people because Deadman Wonderland does have a lot going on in each episode, so an explanation is probably in order. There are also a few critical errors that anyone with a basic understanding of investigative techniques would immediately spot and question, but we'll get to that in a bit. Far too much importance has been placed on making the content "cool" in an effort to appeal to viewers who just want violence, blood and explosions, and with the added yet pointless melodramatic scenes designed to elicit audience sympathy, the storyline never really picks up enough narrative pace to maintain the viewer's interest. Which immediately brings up the first problem with this series.Īt its heart Deadman Wonderland is nothing more than a bloodier version of the common or garden shounen tale, but bolted onto the framework concept is a plot that has been worked over far too many times, so much so that it's highly predictable and almost barren of any original thought. He is sent to Deadman Wonderland to wait out the time before his execution, but the powers that be in the prison have their eyes on Ganta so he must now navigate a labyrinth of conspiracies, greed, betrayal, murder, revolution, gladiatorial combat, and enough blood to make a clan of vampires drool.

All of that changes when his entire class are slaughtered while still in school, and as the only survivor he is found guilty of mass murder and sentenced to death.

For the inmates of Japan's only privately owned prison (which for some reason is run as a theme park and is built on Ground Zero of the Great Tokyo Earthquake), the ablutive antics of their fellow "guests" are the least of their worries, especially when the warden takes the term "punishment game" to a whole new level. Those who committed actual crimes were transferred to a normal prison (like Minatsuki Takami and Chaplin Sukegawa) and those who were innocent were released (such as Senji Kiyomasa and Ganta Igarashi), though, it was difficult for many to adjust to a normal life after being in the prison for so long.Strange things can happen to a person when they're in prison so the general rules of thumb are to keep a low profile, stay out of the way of other people, and avoid dropping the soap in the shower. This, however, turned out to false as the real data was hidden.Īfter Makina overthrew Takami and shut down Deadman Wonderland, all the Deadmen had a re-trial.

Tsunenaga Tamaki researched the Nameless Worm and was able to create artificial Deadman: the Forgeries from data he thought he obtained from Hagire Rinichirō's computer. They are used to compete against each other in the Carnival Corpse. The privately owned prison, Deadman Wonderland, is a facility where Deadmen are held (more specifically in G Ward).
