"Two dead people walk into a bar"-- Literally every episode

[@shosty575]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤨

[@auzziegamerfan]

Well played.

[@jiandog4225]

except episode 2 chiyuki and the other white girl idk they just watched those 2 people playing dart in EP1.

[@maxkurant1470]

"The dying rate has become increasingly high." I wonder why... *cough* Kira *cough*.

[@darrenpinto3055]

there was someone in episode 11 who looked like kira

[@maxkurant1470]

Darren Pinto Yea, that was him.

[@ira__s]

I would've liked to see the episode with Light.

[@Ulqui_210]

+Ira S I would love to see an OVA which crossovers Death Note and Death Parade in a way. Like Fairy Tail and Rave Master.

[@JustMehChannel]

+Sasuke210000 that would be the most amazing thing

[@IronKnuckle08]

Anyone else catch Light Yagami's brief appearance in episode 11?

[@GingerBeanie]

TehBeyonder Me.

[@MechaMeister]

xSonicSeedrian i did , but that doest make sense, in death note those who used death note will be send directly to void(nothingness) when died, why the heck he is there being judge for? what make sense though is when they said the dying rate has become really high which is the work of kira lol

[@sheamcc2]

Mecha Meister Easter egg you may of herd of them marvel likes to use them

[@vannen1098]

Mecha Meister It was a little easter egg lol. Death Note was done by Madhouse, as was Death Parade.

[@DaudrichDima]

Ginti was not there for nothing...he was the contrast to Decim. Decim: Quality>Quantity Ginti: Quantity>Quality

[@Mir_Teiwaz]

DIMusicA Yeah. He was there to show that not all arbiters do the job the same way.

[@TopNimes]

Do you know what contrast means?

[@DaudrichDima]

HalfMoon γρ you know what I mean...and not the word contrast is the problem but the structure of my sentence xD sry for english not being my primary language...

[@TopNimes]

DIMusicA Decim: Quality>Quantity Ginti: Quantity>Quality That isnt contrast, Decim: Quality>Quantity Ginti: Quantity

[@DaudrichDima]

HalfMoon γρ no it is not....what you've wrote would be the exact same thing o.O

[@QueenNothing61]

My favorite character by far was Decim. I loved watching him slowly become more human and the way he and the black haired woman interacted. Also, Ginti's arc provided some much needed levity in the middle of an otherwise dark show. Although, I hate what Ginti did to them in the end.

[@Jake-rn9lj]

DarkGenesis61 my fav was Nona she was super sexy

[@alexlei2235]

To be frank, and with no offense, if someone I knew cried for this anime, I'd think they'd missed the point.

[@harper6032]

I cried at the ending. +Ha Ppy I cried, not because I missed the point, because it hit close to home for me. I realized a lot about my life, and I had a whole new outlook on life

[@Kuchiri]

The wasn't chosen to be the assistant because she had no memories, She remembered she was dead so she couldn't be judged. Nona chose to keep her to test Decim's humanity that was implanted him.

[@KidSnivy69]

He wasn't giving spoilers pass episode 3

[@fisher00769]

I don't think the plot points were irrelevant. They don't get resolved, yes, I think that's the whole purpose of them. That's what I found to be the biggest tragedy here, that no matter all the emotions that even Decim felt, and what Nona did, and everything, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CHANGED in the end.

[@animeotaku307]

I wouldn't say absolutely nothing changed. Decim has obviously changed how he interacts with guests and while the old guy will most likely keep interfering, it's still possible that other arbiters may follow suit. Change isn't always big. Sometimes it's just baby steps.

[@KidSnivy69]

I think that more a personal preference issue then something he considers a problem

[@Fran-tg5yp]

When Ginti tricked the human and sent her to the void, it hurt sooooooo much. Physically and emotionally hurt me

Trafalgars LaW Doubt it. I don't think he has enough time to watch a 148 episode long shonen. Although it is a shame, considering how great of an anime that it is.

[@logicalnonsence4813]

one day our prayers will be answered

[@Trifungen]

Javion Malveaux ofc and i have watched it and its one of my fav anime!

[@Spinax33]

My feeling on Death Parade is that is kinda exists in a void. You dont get the whole story but a small glimpse into a strange world from the view of multiple characters. I think if they make a sequel they should just focus on a different arbiter, since there are clearly more then Ginti and Decim and just keep the episodic tone of the show whilst slowly unraveling the mysterious sub-plot about flowe-beard.

[@pickcarameldelights]

It seemed to me that the second arbiter sidestory was 1. to contrast Decim, personality and judgement style 2. show how Decim's reluctance to immediately judge Chiyuki effected the second arbiter's ability to confidently judge That's how I perceived it at least.

[@vannen1098]

Fucking review Cory in the House already.

[@MrHellion1994]

We already know it's perfect, but I would like to hear his opinion anyways too...

[@jackdullboy8723]

Just finished it myself. it's so good that I didn't even noticed that I was already on the 10th episode, and I thought that only 30 minutes have passed. either that or I need to get a life.

[@sameerathar3847]

Just finished it myself, one of the best animes ive ever seen. I want season 2 soooooo bad!

[@jackdullboy8723]

sameer athar season 2 is gonna be tough, it might actually ruin the series but still. a sequel could be nice. that being said I don't think they'll be a season 2 since this is an original anime series instead of a series based on a manga or light novel, seriously tho, I was really surprise to find out that there's no manga to this

[@sameerathar3847]

Jack Dullboy yea I think you're right this was just a complete beautiful master piece and I'd rather cherish this for what it is rather than getting a season 2 which might be disappointing. Also if someone did manga series for this, their gonna make BANK!

[@gevoian]

Snow Anaya i never liked the black hair girled so im all good for season 2

[@SnowAnayathatweirdgirl]

Gevoian Yasin Why ? Just why ? How the fuck don't you like her ? I'm honestly curious how you don't like her. Out of all the people in that anime she's the most relatable is it cause she's a human ? TBH she's the only reason I could tolerate Decim at times. Decim to me was so boring , his actions , his mood. Ginti was better. Decim grew on me over time, but now that she's gone it's like well he's back to being a talking dummy ( literally) that now smiles. A season 2 would only work if he wasn't the MC. Ginti or some other Arbiter should be the MC, but that won't happen since it sold so poorly in Japan. There is the Drama CD that's coming out, but that's it. Personally glad one season is perfect. It gave us enough to world build on our own.

[@SnowAnayathatweirdgirl]

***** Where did you see me say that ? You must mean Tokyo Ghoul cause I hate that anime . I love the manga , but both seasons of Tokyo Ghoul are horrible adaptions. Now there working on Tokyo Ghoul :re .. These poor animators make less than most sweat shop. I could only imagine the horror of being paid shit and working on a shit anime.. Anime Industry is literally slave business.

[@Androidbrotherhood1]

***** Its not bait, the show had a shit story. The characters where complete garbage (expect for three). They never explain any of the super natural elements, at all. The show was awful, after watching Baccano (a show I consider a masterpiece) I had high hopes. I was terribly wrong and I'm sad to see people want more from such a shit show instead of demanding more Baccano.

[@ProrogonLordoftheJags]

Great review Arkada! Please review either Durarara!! or Parasyte next.

[@nacoto180]

I think if he does end up reviewing Durarara!! It'll be once it ends, so about spring 2016. It'll be kind of pointless to reviwew it now since there's only two seasons left and they're almost here.

[@SangoProductions213]

Leon Maxwell Wait, you mean that thing's still going? I did a music video with Durarara's opening 2 years ago, and that was a couple years after I saw it on TV.

[@nacoto180]

SangoProductions21 Well, kind of. A new studio bought Durarara!! recently, and they announced they were going to do three new seasons. The first one, Durarara!!x2 Shou aired this winter season. The next one will air in summer, and then the third and final one in winter 2016.

[@ProrogonLordoftheJags]

Yes, there's a second season of Durarara!! which has been cut into 3 parts. The first one (Shou) has already been released and is 12 episodes long. The second part (Ten) is slated for release in July 2015. The third part (forgot the name) is slated for release in January 2016. So we can expect a total of roughly 36 episodes in season 2.

[@OMoneyXL]

Oh yea definitely Parasyte.

[@clockworkGear101]

When I saw the title I immediately stated singing welcome to the black parade

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

To me this was definetly what you call "certified frosty" as I don't agree with many of the cons you listed. I do believe that a lot of the introduced plot points hinted at a second season, I guess I will keep my fingers crossed... Also have you heard of the theory about Deathnote and Deathparade being in the same universe, because it is very interesting and makes alot of sense.

[@samwilliams6820]

This and a doctor who episode inspired me for a new anime idea: I only have the premise. In the far future, an extremely totalitarian government controls earth, where to encourage good behavior, the government have emulated a heaven/hell thing, where after you physically die your consciousness gets stored as electrical code, where it will be sent to a digital "heaven" or "hell" where the uploaded consciousness will, sao style, feel a digitally generated world, akin to heaven or hell. That's the premise. I have no idea in terms of plot or characters. Tell me what you think, though this is clearly not the right place for a comment like this. The KZbin comments section is not a web forum after all.

[@Coolcleverstone]

Yea... that was already kind of done, forgot the title though so give me a sec.

[@samwilliams6820]

Coolclev erstone well, they clearly copied me.

[@Coolcleverstone]

It's psycho-pass.

[@samwilliams6820]

What? Psycho pass? That's.. kind of different. Sure, its still got the "totalitarian government controlling you and basing your fate on your behavior" kind of thing going on, but my idea is based on afterlife, not science fiction detective dramas.

[@Coolcleverstone]

Oh, that's just Jerusalem

[@stupidtaurus6039]

If the opening of this anime was Welcome To The Black Parade by MCR I would cry

Hey Ark I know you did it first reaction video for Aldnoah Zero. Do you think you could do a full review of that now that both halves of the show were available? Also when can we expect a review for the second season of sword art online? or do you even plan to review the second season of sword art online?

[@clarity905]

I think one of the things that I picked up is an off hand commend about how God hasn't been around in a log time and I think that would be a nice way to elaborate on in a second season

[@GayRiku]

The ending theme though... I haven't ever purchased a song so quickly after starting an anime. It's amazing. *~*

[@LPgeneratorx]

Thank you so much for gibing this a good score. I've had so many people tell me this is overrated, which was making me feel lonely.

[@lachlanstill4813]

LPgeneratorx Sadly it is overrated; it has tons of plot holes. You should go watch AnimeAddict's review of the series; it's an excellent video.

[@LPgeneratorx]

Lachlan Still Plot Holes? Like?

[@lachlanstill4813]

LPgeneratorx Most of the plot holes have to do with the mechanics of the world. They are not explained in any sufficient depth and as such it constantly contradicts its own seeming rules. Again, AnimeAddict's video goes over most of them.

[@LPgeneratorx]

Lachlan Still Yeah, I can understand that the world wasn't explained very well, but I think that the world wasn't the focal point of the show. I am watching the video, but... I seriously don't think that all of his complaints are valid. But admittedly some of them are true. Still. 8/10 for me. Death Billiards was better as a short story, imo.

[@lachlanstill4813]

LPgeneratorx The biggest thing beyond the logic's plot holes is the fact that ALL of the arbiters exhibit a vast spectrum of emotion throughout the show. With the fact that that "arbiters can't posses emotions" being drilled into the audience's skull this is just insulting. It could have been all right if the show had attempted to work that into some sort of message about emotion being impossible to repress or something along those lines, but it didn't. It just went nowhere with it.

[@symwinter]

I watched this and cried almost the entire way through. No anime has done that to me. Sure I'll cry watching the end of the series but other then that. The only exception to that rule was when I watched the first episode to Your Lie in April and never continued. But still.

[@literaldirt6080]

Personal recommendation: Hell Girl This was one of the first anime's I watched and it holds a special place in my heart. If you like Death Parade and you haven't seen it yet...GO WATCH IT :D

Fubukio Well that keeps people watching since people know this from watching anime (when you think about it) and it also makes quite a lot of the entertainment. Tho if it gets way too rediclious i feel like the qualility could go down and new viewers of GR could be scared off or the opposite. Guess he is testing out whats popular and whats not.

I don't really like it and to me he doesn't need to do it, his voice is really good as it is he doens't need gimmicks to make it stand out or make it quirky goofy.

[@tammyjo4891]

Can someone please tell me the name of the song after the intro/opening ... PLEASE (*>-

[@chelbastiaan]

After this review I immediately watched the whole thing in dub. Well... Almost the whole thing. I usually don't like dubs, but the voice of Nona in Japanese somehow annoyed me. Anyway... I was watching episode eleven and by the end of it figured out episode twelve hadn't been dubbed yet. Does anybody know anything about this? A release date? Anything? I'm having trouble listening to the sub even though its not awful. It's just weird to listen to because I got attached to the English voices...

I really enjoyed this series. I didn't really care for the main characters though. The secondary characters story's had me in tears at a few points. Most notably the kid in the air hockey episode.

[@aryanbansal8081]

My assumptions of the end decision have been correct most of the time but i am able to justify people for their actions *Spoiler Alert* Like in Episode 4 a Lady who is a Celebrity and a Guy who had lost hope Celebrity was Bitch most of the time but i was able to comprehend the fact that what has she gone through life and how it affected her Life She was raising 5 or 6 kids and none of her relationships turned out to be good she was still working hard for them at last even whenshe got angry on her agent was even due to the fact that she was not able to give time to her children bcoz of her busy schedule Their was work stress on her and she grew a survivalist kind of personality At the end show only tells how complex ones life could be

[@jamesvanitas]

Can anyone tell me which video he stopped giving scores to anime. I missed that.

[@devilsbitch1000]

One of the few anime that at least really attempted profound philosophical reaction. When it exposes the hypocrisy of judgement.

[@ajedelmanisrskeleton5322]

Always enjoy your reviews. Just curious--you cited in your geass review to watch Gundam 00 if you enjoyed Geass. Ever plan on doing a 00 review?

[@dudeproductions5394]

I saw an AMV with this anime as its base and i wanted to know more, I was pleasantly surprised by the context of the anime and what it entails.

[@Piromysl359]

Best anime of 2015!

[@Steel_blade_alchemist]

Yes!

[@mannyh7883]

Yes!

[@TheFufuway]

[@TopNimes]

The ending is NOT paramount.

[@TopNimes]

Your lack of wit is staggering that joke was awfull

[@kpxtreame]

HalfMoon γρ Actually that was pretty good.

[@TopNimes]

Nah.. Its just a reddit quality joke..

[@kpxtreame]

HalfMoon γρ Reddit sometimes hides gems if you dig low enough.

[@TopNimes]

If you're a sadist then sure

[@modjesch]

Lol ... ""moist""

[@jtmoney091]

amazing review arkada. I agree with most of your points. always enjoy a review from you. I wish I had the confidence to make anime reviews like you. maybe one day I'll finally get the courage to at least try.

[@TheJuanTrueKaiser]

Another overrated anime that lacks any amount of thematic weight except for the final judgment. Most of the games have nothing to say about the individuals and whether they were good people. The entire thing is a pretentious pile of mediocrity with an opening that made the masses fangasm over the anime even when that has nothing to do with the narrative.

[@PersonaSimon]

truth

[@za-ir5ni]

The JuanTrueKaiser "have nothing to say about the individuals" Watch them again because that is far from the truth. It's like you didn't watch it at all. "The entire thing is a pretentious pile of mediocrity." Yeah, no it isn't. It really seems you don't understand the series, just like many others who complain about the show. "No thematic weight" Really? www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/death-parade/.86639

[@MechaMeister]

The JuanTrueKaiser if i had a wish it'll be to wipe any traced word 'pretentious' such overrated word

[@PongzeLor]

They actually talk about how the games are not effective for a good judgement in the anime because all theyre trying to find is the dark side of human nature

[@MiyaoMeow588]

The JuanTrueKaiser "Most of the games have nothing to say about the individuals" Say what you will about the rest of the show, but that is an objectively wrong statement.

[@genericvirgin3069]

C'mon review Parasyte!!!!!!

[@greasy13]

The timing on this couldn't have been better, marathoned the entire show earlier this week in one day.

[@Farm4Honor]

So Arkada, honest question but have you been watching Unlimited Blade Works lately? I know you're pretty familiar with the Type-Moon franchise as a whole so I'm curious on your thoughts so far about Ufotable's adaptation. Surely you plan to release a review on it once it finishes, no?

[@JinTrixx5291]

2nd season confirmed :D

[@Jules_Stinks]

+Crona “Thunderhaz” Gorgon This news made me cream myself.

[@JinTrixx5291]

:D

[@FMSFWW]

link or source?!!!!!!!

[@ThisNerdyKid]

It doesn't need a second season. It should be left just the way it is

[@shivpuri5769]

Call Me Hunky I haven't finished it but I disagree

[@lionwolf7424]

*Review Cory in the house*

[@jerseyjackrabbit2829]

they could have a baccano ending where there is no ending, where the stories seem endless and carry on. it would explain why it does both episodic and character driven they could literally add more and more characters to refresh this experience and never end.

[@Blitzura]

Hey Ark! Congrats on being number 1 on top anime reviews on youtube !! :DD you deserve it!!!

[@Maxxor9672]

Regardless of its flaws(very lil in my opinion) and unanswerd questions, I'm still holding this as my favourite anime thus far.

[@ErgoDog]

Vux Sama Uuuuuhm, if you like anime with themes like this one, watch Haibane Renmei.

[@greekstrawberry6209]

hunter x hunter(2011) please

[@personoable]

I like what you have done with your ending. It feels very clean and I enjoy the recommendations as well as where I can view it. P.S. Keep it up :)

[@alexlei2235]

I don't cry in shows, ever, but I understand why people do. However, it was actually surprising for me to hear the people cried for Death Parade. Even if it had its sad, despairing moments, I don't personally think this anime was supposed to be cried for. If I were to sum up Death Parade in a few words, it would be "deep, moving melancholy." It is definitely meant to tug at your heart strings as you see all these relationships and how they break because of many different, and sometimes, relatable, circumstances. Death Parade does really well in its ability to slowly reveal and peel away the facade that everyone carries until nothing but their simple desires remain. But, I think this anime is less about accentuating its sad tone as it is making you think. That is the impression I get from finishing Death Parade: An anime worth reflecting for. It is totally within my bounds to shed a few tears, if I could, (ESPECIALLY during the skating scene) at the thought that all life must end. Crying though? I don't know what to say.

[@maattthhhh]

Season 2... I'm begging you, madhouse! Please!

[@eiRagnaRok]

Not going to happen. 1-Really close ending 2-It's Madhouse, they hate second seasons.

[@maattthhhh]

eiRagnaRok umm, hunter x hunter?

[@eiRagnaRok]

maattthhhh what with hunter x hunter?

[@MineteInc]

I really disliked Death Parade. Besides it's good directing, good first episode (which I only enjoyed because I had not seen death billiards), and good production values, I disliked almost everything in it. The plot makes no sense, the episodic nature of the show becomes very repetitive and boring, there is a ton of shock factor that loses its effect when they do it *every single episode*, and the protagonist is impossible to relate with because he has no emotions. Such an overrated show. The only Winter 2015 show that was more overrated than Death Parade was Shigatsu.

[@GamonKills]

Meteor You're not a thinker are you

[@MineteInc]

GamonKills Not sure what you mean with that

[@AgentTexes]

Meteor Huh. I didn't know it was opposite day.

[@caitlynnhatch9254]

I kinda like how we couldnt relate to decim. I think we are suppose to relate to the girl more and get upset a decim for not understanding human nature. The show does get repetitive with the challenges i admit, but the ways the people react are different ( for me at least)

[@za-ir5ni]

Meteor You should read this www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/death-parade/.86639

[@aka_Iron]

Why did you delete the best endings video from your channel :o? I watched it only once without much thought and later on I wanted to re-watch it but I wasn't there. Could you return it?

[@Henji96]

Hi Arkada! I hope you will take the time to read my comment here. This is just a theory but let's begin. Madhouse is the makers of Death Parade and Death Note among others. You asked at 4:22 that you wanted an explanation where all the new souls came from. The theory goes like this: In episode 11, the girl and Ginti talk about why Harada's soul hasn't come back yet. Ginti then shows a picture (at 3:40-3:50) of a guy who looks exactly like Yagami Light from Death note. This is just a theory, but it could be that the two world's (the "death worlds"), is actually the same world and all the new souls comes because Yagami uses his death note.

[@RCXXIstudios]

Great concept. TERRIBLE execution.

[@madmaxx4178]

u mean mirai Nikki?

[@ErikCK14]

Death Parade is bland and repetitive. I liked the 2 last episodes and that was all. The utter definition of mediocrity.

[@lachlanstill4813]

Erik Celso Kolling Yeah, sadly it is. You should go watch AnimeAddict's review of the series; it's an excellent video that talks a lot about the issues you seem to have.

[@CrazyHand196]

Erik Celso Kolling Really? i loved the first episode as well...its actually what got me into it

[@mrnarason]

Erik Celso Kolling Totally agree, I like the Death billiards a lot better because it was shorter. I think arkada has a bias for this show.

[@ErikCK14]

Joey Carthew Your arguments are fragile. The problem is not being a "story-of-the-week" kind of show - Space Dandy is one of my favorites -, the issue resides in the fact that the events are too similar, the results are predictable and the main point of the show is about basically nothing but random judgments that meant nothing at the end (an arbiter who feels emotions? But all the other arbiters feel emotions too, so what's the point?). And it's not that i didn't like it, it's just a 5, not something i'd watch again, but far from being terrible due to the pretty good animation. Btw, i was intrigued by Decim's relationship with the girl and where it'd lead us to, and to be fairly honest, truly liked the next-to-last episode. I just think it could've been great, but ended up overestimated and forgettable.

[@ErikCK14]

Lachlan Still I looked it up and i agree with him on most of the points. Thanks for the recommendation =D

[@poplynne4180]

I have two animes that you might like, try Blood blockade battlefield, and The heroic ledgend of Arslan. I don't think their finished yet, but when they are can you do a review for them please?

[@poxolatee]

Came for the anime reviews, subsribed for the melodic voice. Seriously dude, don´t know what it is about your voice, but it´s so damn nice to listen to.

[@abriellh]

I went into this video fully understanding that i wouldn't watch whatever you where talking about but about 3 minutes in you got me wanting to see it! If it wasn't for you videos i don't think that i could watch so many anime!!
