Deadman Wonderland
Ever wondered what it would be like to see death row inmates fight for their survival in an amusement park? Well, you’re either an insane billionaire or the perfect demographic for Deadman Wonderland.
After being wrongfully accused of massacring his entire class, Ganta Igarashi must carry out his death sentence at Deadman Wonderland: a privately-owned prison that doubles as a theme park.
To survive, he must complete tasks, win fights, and somehow make friends that will watch his back. His trials and tribulations make for tense, thrilling action, as you watch him learn how to survive, especially since he isn’t as bloodthirsty as his opponents.
As soon as the anime gets going, though, it’s over. With a runtime of 27 minutes each and only 12 episodes in total, fans of this thriller are left on the edge of their seats after the first installment, wondering how Igarashi will ever survive and clear his name.
If the second season of Deadman Wonderland were to ever come to fruition, it would have plenty of work to adapt. Not only would it continue the hunt for Red Man, but it would also introduce the major characters we’ve yet to see in the show that was of great importance in the manga.
