I really appreciated this take on afterlife as I never had seen anything like this before. The older I get the rarer it happens. Death Parade presents a curious angle on human life and its end. Even though I'm not a big fan of the whole religion-smelling heaven-hell concept but it's not very focused on. But it poses curious questions. Are people pushed to the limit - still the same people? Is darkness in the soul always there, or is it survival instinct? The series is visually beautiful, slow paced and sounds very charming. It perfectly pins that haunting atmosphere of a weird bar playing jazz when its raining outside(hope one day to visit a Death Parade themed bar if there is one). All in all I really recommend watching this.
I can count on one hand how many anime or manga series I've ever watched or tried to watch..this is one out of 3 anime's that I would absolutely recommend to anyone! Regardless your thoughts on manga or anime, this is a must-watch miniseries. This show will make you think a lot, filled with interesting symbols to keep you interested and has a beautiful message. Give it a try, you won't regret it!
Death Parade isn't a bad show, just one that wasn't properly utilized to its full potential. It had the setup to be something thought-provoking and entertaining at the same time, but due to the humdrum cast and unexplored setting, it only passes as a nice popcorn time passer. Also, the opening, since no one seem to shut up about it. Despite my qualms, I fully recommend it to anyone since it's entertaining at the very least.
I went into Death Parade thinking it would be just another anime to watch, that it would have some good qualities but not great overall. After watching the first episode I was stunned at how good it was. The setting is wonderfully imaginative even when it isn't completely shown. Their seems to be a lot of heart put into this show and that this place is much more realistic. Each episode surprised me with the careful observation of humanity and human life. It expresses our desires, our beliefs, and who we value most. Death parade is more about humanity and what we did during our life. The show is very beautiful in a way in which human nature is defined. Please give this show a chance it is very well done.
P.S. Great opening

I'm not joking. This anime is something special that will always stay with me. Death is not a simple matter that can be discussed. It's something more. So is life and its meaning. I cried for at least 2 episodes. No other anime, movie or TV show made me feel all those feelings. The dialogues are not void and meaningless. They center the target of the story, and everything is connected till the end. I am very happy that, in the anime, love is the only feeling that can change everything, and that can overcome even fear. I spent a delightful time watching it, and I'm very happy. I recommend you to do so! You'll thank me later.
