[Anime recommendation] Death Parade
Yoo mina saaan...!!! back again with me!! Ok in this time I’m still share a good anime recommendation To you all stemians! Just read this article then watch it later the anime!
Well, Today the anime I recommend is Death Parade, the anime has 12 episodes.
Death parade is a mixture of mystery, fantasy and intrigue with a fairly unique setting, story and set of characters (It also has a great OP to boot.). The show takes a sort of game style format and follows a bit of a episodic format for the first half. There is an overarching plot line but it really is not the reason why this show is so much fun.
Somewhere there exists a mysterious bar. When you arrive at it, you are forced to play a game—cards, bowling, darts, etc.—against another person. If you win, you get to leave. If you lose, however, you die.
Or at least that’s what the situation appears to be. In truth, it is far different: Players are already dead when they arrive at the bar. These games don’t decide whether players live or die, but rather whether their souls are reincarnated or are discarded forever into the void. In fact, winning isn’t even important. Rather, each game is specifically designed to break its players—to draw out the darkest parts of their souls. It is then that the bartender judges the players and decides their ultimate fates.
When two people die at the same time, they are sent to Quindecim, an otherworldly bar attended by a mysterious and otherworldly host, named Decim. Having no memory of their arrival or of anything prior to descending the elevator to this bar, the two humans are told that they must wager their lives on a so-called "Death Game" and that they will not be allowed to leave until they do so. Having no other options of escape from this place, they will invariably do so, a process which thus casts judgement on their lives and determines whether their souls will be reincarnated or sent to the void.
Meanwhile, a woman with no memories awakens in another part of this apparent "netherworld;" Nona, who appears to "run" this world, brings her along to observe one of these judgements, telling her that she will assist Decim with this sinister process. ( SOURCE)
Death Parade is unfortunately hurt somewhat by the variable quality of the one-off stories, centered around the people brought to Quindecim, and by the rushed and haphazard handling of one supposedly important side character's arc. Nonetheless, it's a fascinating exploration of what an afterlife governed by a system as flawed as those in the "living world" might look like, and it grapples with the question of what morality might be conceived of if so-called divine beings turned out to have a flawed concept of it.
