Why You Should Watch Death Parade

[@InPraiseofShadows]

Thank you for watching! Are there any other horror themed anime that you would like me to cover in the future? If so let me know, have a good day!

[@ALMIRANTE-ly3fi]

First, excelent video i really like that show. Other horror show (or something like that) could be When they cry or the Classic Genocyber!

[@InPraiseofShadows]

@@ALMIRANTE-ly3fi Thank you so much! I will look into those for sure, I love the look of Genocyber, I haven't heard of that one before but on the surface it really reminds me of a sci fi Berserk in a way with the intense harsh and surreal designs in it. Looks really cool and I will check it out this week, thanks for letting me know!

[@teawsome1236]

I thought this anime was boring

[@evelynsurowiec]

I totally agree

[@MATTierial]

Death Parade is nearly perfect. While yes, it's short, it is fulfilling. To make a sequel would uproot the ending that it has. Although, I wouldn't dislike a few OVA episodes that could take place during the timeline of the show. Much like the Cowboy Bebop film.

[@scrappydrake4683]

Finality and meaningless despair are some of the main themes of the show. Hell, one of the central plot elements is a place of eternal darkness that once-living people go to to be forgotten. It's fitting that the show itself has "fallen into the void", so to speak.

The set design is so freaking legendary I found myself aching for this kind of aesthetic ever since watching the show. I feel like the show has defined and created an entirely new mood for me that whenever I experience it can't help but call "Death Parade Feels".

[@npc8253]

Truly good anime often invents its own unique athsetic like in cowboy bebop,ghost in the shell and even mushi shi.. So glad these works of art and passion exist

[@BananLord]

The aesthetic is so ingrained in my brain that I found myself in similar locations inside my dreams a few times, that lonely feeling included.

[@catcat4697]

I couldn't have foreseen how much of an emotional turmoil this series was for me, not only was it beautiful. It was confronting, but it was worth it. It changed me and my views, it thought me things words couldn't have done on their own. I thank you wholeheartedly for the recommendation Thanks

[@sobasage1958]

The only death parade here is among the animators, working in the conditions they do.

[@npc8253]

Yea its truly unfortunate. The biggest victim of that practice imo was in the manga side with bleach. Shonen jump pushed kubo to hate his own art and it suffered drastically after aizen died. The only. Person who seems to truly be able to thrive in the Japanese overwork framework seems to be oda who makes onepiece

[@FelicityGemini]

That opening by NoisyCell (last theater) is so amazing. I love this Anime with all my heart. from the very first episode I knew this was special. thank you for covering it.

[@ruud9761]

I can't believe Death Parade was sold badly in Japan. Here I am after 6+ years and still rewatching Death Parade at least once every 2 years. To me this is a gem of a show, placing it in my top 3 together with Redline and Grand Blue. The fact that I had to sit and think after each episode I watched is an achievement I've never experienced with any other show, not even because it's confusing, but simple because of the questions the episodes leaves me with.

[@Cybxlia]

I always felt just the same thing: The biggest problem is that there isn't more. But it is so beautiful, so elegant, I don't recommend Death Note to people who want to get into anime, I recommend Death Parade because every episode managed to be a complete story that takes you on a journey.

[@tuanhuylam207]

Beautiful music very calm along with your suttle voice, overall great video keep up man appreciate your work

[@quinnp8493]

I find Death Parade is a great example of delivering the main plotline while having another that is clearly meant to continue. It seems to me that the later episodes set up a season 2 focused more on the tower itself while tying off themes of judgment and the value of life. The result is that season 1 feels satisfying but that there's lots of lost potential without a season 2.

[@Ytwatch1]

I really enjoyed your review! I loved Death Parade. I felt it should have been given a chance to grow beyond one season. Even if it didn’t stay following Chiyuki and Decim, there was so much about their environment and their “lives” that left many of us with so many questions. Maybe one day there will be another glance into the “death world” from another show’s point of view.

I have said this in other videos reviewing it , death parade is one of the most cynical nihilistic works I can think of. If you win you get reborn if not ..... Well we all know what happens. The huge problem with this is no matter what you eventually won't live a good enough life and your just putting off your inevitable fate until then constantly being reborn suffering through the pains of this world which though there are also joys are fleeting just to die and repeat until you eventually fail.
