Deadman Wonderland The Complete Series Collection [DVD]

Bought this again as the copy I had was from cex and sum reason kept skipping even thoe no Mark's on the disc, this series has decent story and very violent not suitable for under 18s, he gets blamed for massacring his whole classmates and gets sent to a superman prison which host deadly games and more sinister secret very entertaining if you haven't seen it and like violence and fights

The series is excellent although it leaves you hanging with the end of episode 12, not sure if there is to be a second series or not, one can hope but nothing is ever concrete with Anime or Manga, anyway, the animation is crisp and clean and the music epic. My only quibble with the Blu ray set is the fact that it says the OVA is on disc three and is infact in the Bonus options of disc two, aside from that and the fact that the OVA is in Japanese only (with subtitles) whereas the rest of the series is Dubbed there is absolutely nothing wrong with the series other than the fact it has to end. I sincerely hope there is a second series to fill in the blanks and whether or not Ganta gains his revenge and is Shirow is who I think she is....damned cliff hangers.In other words BY THIS NOW.

i love the action the gore and the fights the story good and it leaves you wanting more i hope they make a another series if not then its fine this Series end in a place were they could make a second series or just leave it as is but I really really... hope the decide to make a 2nd series of deadman wonderland pulse the sound track is good to

When Ganta Igarashi's class is brutally murdered by a mysterious figure in red with strange powers he finds himself framed for the atrocity and sent to the sadistic prison Deadman Wonderland with a death sentence. Built in the ruins of Tokyo, Deadman Wonderland is a prison theme park where the inmates entertain the public in humiliating and dangerous ways. Upon arriving at the prison, Ganta soon finds himself caught up in its dark underside, secret death matches between superpowered individuals, while having to deal with a strange girl from his forgotten past.This three disc set includes all twelve episodes of the 'Deadman Wonderland' anime, as well an undubbed OVA. While the series adapts the first five volumes (roughly the first two arcs of the plot) of a thirteen volume manga resulting in little in the way of closure for the plot, it does adapt these volumes relatively well with most of the changes being the result of writing out characters who don't become important until arcs that haven't been animated or to make some scenes easier to animate. From what I have read, the Japanese sales figures for this series were atrocious and so it is very unlikely that it will be getting a continuation, which I personally think is a shame. The animation is generally good throughout and although there is some lens flare and shadow censorship of some of the more gory scenes, there's still some nice action and gore throughout the series.Having watched both English and Japanese versions soundtrack I have to say that the English dub is very good and for once I like at least as much as the original Japanese version. The language used in the English dub is quite course however so those who dislike such language may want to avoid it. As for individual performances, Monica Rial was absolutely perfect as Shiro (she is the person I have always imagined voicing her since I first read the manga) while Leah Clark, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Eric Vale and Jamie Marchi were all almost as good as Minatsuki, Chief Warden Makina, Promoter Tamaki and Karako Koshio respectively. The only voice that I didn't like all that much was Greg Ayres as Ganta but even he grew on me as the show continued.While it definitely has its faults, I did enjoy 'Deadman Wonderland' and would give the series four stars.

Arrived before due date, very pleased with it's condition. Brought for a birthday present for my best friend and she loves it. I've watched the anime twice online so I might buy it for myself soon. Very pleased.

This was for my son at university who loves this and I have had no complaints at all from him, all I have had is "more"

A Great series, the only bad thing about this anime series is the ending i'm very much hoping they continue with it, if your interested in buying it i think you should buy it!

I absolutely love this anime !!The dvd I got also had the English dub on . Gore looks amazing ! 😁

Great series and delivered as advertised, undamaged.

no me gustó que nadamás trae inglés como doblaje, y con el idioma original no trae suptitulos ni pex tendré que aprender japonés o inglés!!!🤔

Deadman Wonderland is a very, very unique and entertaining story that I'd really hate to see end so prematurely. However, I'm not sure if anybody else that loves this show realizes, but a premature end seems very likely at the moment.I may be preaching the the choir when I say this, but it should be common knowledge that it's VERY important right now to buy the animes and mangas that you love, because in this age of anime anything goes. Many great shows and mangas have been cancelled already. (Or on a never ending hiatus.) Many publishers are either cutting back or have sunk from this last global recession.I'd really hate to see this particular show go. Profits are at an all time low with piracy at an all time high. It doesn't help viewers aren't even watching these shows on cable, either. But anyways, I'm getting off topic. This is a message to all those that loved this show, SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND KEEP IT GOING!Anyways on to the review...This show, along with Black Lagoon and Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom (Minus the last scene of the entire series) are three of my favorite post childhood anime. They all are so different in every other aspect, but their original idea for the protagonist remains the same. Now this review, though a review for Deadman Wonderland, also dives into what I look for anime in general. Which means that I'll say something I look for in anime, and how this show has it. It's an unorthadox review style but it's simply how I review. Anyways onto the review.All three shows use an idea for the primary character that I happen to like WAYY more than what most anime these days use. These three shows feature a NORMAL protagonist that fate has chewed, spit out, and left for the crows. (Which we see happen.) Yet against all odds rise above and beyond the occasion. The three protagonists of these series all start out as NORMAL (Please take note of the word normal.) persons before getting kidnapped, brainwashed, or set up. (Or perhaps a combination of them.) In this particular series, the third is the primary one. We have this NORMAL school kid who is set up and sent to a top security prison for the worst maniacs and criminals society has to offer. This prison is where this story takes place. But this isn't any normal prison; this is Deadman's Wonderland. Deadman's Wonderland is a sick place where criminals become the world's entertainers. They participate and run a carnival like amusement park where they literally have to "work off" their sentence...Sorry for skimping out on the description so soon, I just realized I may saying a bit too much and thus forced myself to stop. A huge satisfaction I had while watching this show was learning Deadman Wonderland's dark secretes and gruesome details and how the characters reacted and adapted to it. Trust me when I say this though, it's certainly one hell of a ride. (No pun intended) Scratch that, in all seriousness this has one of the most unique and interesting settings I've ever seen in a show. I'll say this again later but I highly recommend this show and I hope you at least try the first episode out online. Anyways, the three protagonist of the three series I mentioned aren't luckily born with secret abilities or powers. They aren't the "chosen ones" or some B.S. like that. They don't start out a part of some "secret society" or are some ultimate bad*** [ex?]military person. No. They are people that could be you or me. In otherwords, they are extremely relatable yet aren't one dimensional. They all question their own motivations, and they all have down-to-earth faults. To me, when shows DON'T do this; all of that equates to is simply the creators skimping out of their viewers/readers. True, some stories did overcome this initial pitfall to become great, (Featuring a one dimensional and unrelatable character yet remedying this pitfall later on using flashbacks or character development DURING the story *Cough* Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood *Cough*.) but it's still a huge red mark in my book.What happens to these characters that causes them to develop and change is very plausible to me. That doesn't just go for the protagonists of these shows either, and that's what I love about them. Nearly every single character in all three of these shows are like this. They aren't the way they are simply for the sake of being the way they are. (True, sometimes it is presumptuous such as, for example, when extra evil character commits evil act. It can be assumed he's done this due to the fact he is, I don't know, IN A PRISON?!)However, understanding the meaning and reasoning for why characters perform certain actions isn't all there is to making me actually enjoying the characters. Heck no, I enjoyed the hell out of Dragonball Z and that goes against everything I just said if we really sat down and think about it. Its just that in this particular show, the characters themselves and their interactions, combined with their reasoning, is what makes the show for me. Their motivations are very emotional, RELATABLE, strong, interesting, and cool. I don't want to give away too much; so I'm going to say that I simply hope they figure out a way to continue this show. [Which is tragically short handed at the moment in that it's obvious that the animators/creators made this season expecting to make another season at least.] The characters are really just that good in my opinion. Again, I'm not going to spoil anything. However let's just say that nearly all the most awesome enemies become allies yet still remain awesome. (AmIdointhisright?) As a plus, none of them become allies for the usual bull**** that one usually expects. They become allies in different ways and/or for different reasons. (I can't elaborate anymore without spoiling anything. Read on for two examples to pique your interest. I'll try to keep it as watered down as I can. *Minor spoiler* At the start of the series one character starts out as a double agent who ends up actually becoming a legitimate ally [for his/her own reasons]. Want another? GO WATCH THE SHOW! [SeewhatIdidthere?])As if to be the icing on the cake, the animation, art style, palette is all very good. The whole concept for the "super powers" that are present in this show are very well thought out. (It's still reasonable.) and it makes for some interesting (and gory!) action scenes. Again, it's all very well thought out and nothing is over-the-top. Oh yea, you are probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about. However this falls under the "secret" information that I refuse to disclose in this review. Understanding how the powers work in this show before you actually watch with remove the actual shock you'll recieve when you are first exposed to it. (Which then has a compounding effect. Trust me as an avid reader of fiction I've tested this.)Don't worry though, after the first, eh, six minutes. You'll get a brief idea of what I didn't want to spoil in any way/shape/form. This brings me to my next point.WOW...What a beginning man. Holy ****. Remember how I said earlier that you should watch the first episode? I'll half that. If you aren't hooked in the first twelve minutes of the show than I'd be very surprised because I, personally, was speachless. It didn't even feel forced or rushed, either. Which is very surprising considering how much material the viewers are exposed to.My only complaint is that it tends to slow down and become somewhat predictable roughly two thirds of the way through. After the initial shock of everything, we are than presented with the cliche, "WHAT DO WE DO NOW!?!?" scenario. I mean, it's not like we don't know what a wrongly convicted person does once sent to prison that the very people whom set him up reside...right? Especially when that character is a kid, because what do emotional KIDS tend to do? Eh, I'll leave THAT up to your imagination. Don't let that dissuade you though, nothing is over excessive. I'd label it more "fitting the part" than anything over dramatic. In fact, it wasn't until it was over that I realized that the cliche scenes where, in fact, cliche. (Would this be an example Inception?) Also, it was awesome to see the side characters through all of this because they remain faithful to their respective roles throughout the entire show.Hmm...Did I miss anything? There are a few minor things. I didn't watch this show in subbed, but the dub was pretty good. It was slightly hard to grasp the actual age of a certain character because the character's voice and dialogue didn't quite match what the character looked like. There where some creepy parts, but this stuff is definitely bearable to watch compared to many other shows currently out there. Fanservice is, though misleading at first, quite minimal in my opinion. However I never really thought fanservice as bad, when used appropriately, as people make it out to be though. I feel some people overreact to it a bit too much. Moving on, there are a couple plot holes, but most could be reasoned that they'd be filled with the second season. (Which once again, tragically may not come.)So my conclusion? TRY the first episode online. Then BUY THIS SET! This try/buy method lets you buy the boxed set and than proceed to continue legally watching the show. (A win/win) This show is a 4.5/5 stars and packs a punch for how short it is. Don't be afraid to take the leap! Deadman's Wonderland is, to put it bluntly, freakin' awesome and this series deserves to be a part of your collection.

I like that I got a great deal on a awesome TV show

This is a great series, Lots of action, comedy and the storyline is very intense! Need to watch consecutavly or you will be completely lost. I was pleasantly surprised by how intense it was to watch. The characters are awesome and you really get attached to your favourite ones! There are a ton of twists and turns. Things you would never expect to happen, happen. The characters themselves are nuts! Also the Storyline itself is really twisted. really great series Highly recommend!
