i hate to break the perfect number of 70 reviews, especially when the review box isn't even up, but whatever... here goes.

pros
+ unique concept
+ mixes philosophy and emotions, plays on human nature
+ individual characters with good development and interesting backgrounds
cons
- incomplete story (manga goes much further)
- seiyuu fail!!!
- attempts at humour turn out twisted due to overall darkness and sadistic atmosphere

conclusion: (not playing on weird parallels to deadman wonderland) a very heavy, dark, and graphic story, and not (read more)

I'd recommend this to anyone that likes gore and kinda random violence. A lot of random characters are introduced just to be killed. There are exposed breasts and naked figures being depicted in this series. This has a very strange and unique storyline and the characters can be kind of annoying. If you can deal with characters who repress memories and never communicate seemingly just to complicate the plot then this action/supernatural anime is for you.

The beginning was really great. It was just amazing but the rest was bit of a disappointment for me.
It was something like a great concept used badly.
Too much whining and crying. Maybe it's some Japanese culture that I just don't understand.
