You're dead... What comes next, how great are your sins? Is it even possible to weight between sins?

Let's start with my review about this anime:

1. Story

The anime "death parade" discusses the topic I really like to think about: What comes next after death? It is a very interesting question and many anime are trying to get this question into a story.

The main character Kurokami no Onna comes to the place after death with her full memories, which shouldn't have happened since all the people get the memories when they played the game of sins. The story takes place in a bar (Quindecim) where the white-haired bartender, Decim is serving. The anime let us see different life stories and the choices of Decim who makes the choice of whom will go to hell and who will go to heaven.

I think, that the author really did a good job with creating this anime. The aspects of sins and the misscalculation of the bartender, I can tell that the author really tried to think about every aspect possible.

2. Character

The character Decim is on the one hand performed as someone who doesn't really have any emotions -or he doesn't show them-. He simply tries to find out who is weighting how much sin. The main character on the other hand is very mysterious but very human. She feels with the people and show human reactions unlike Decim.

It is fun to watch how the side characters change when they regain their memories and try to win the game. Each player is playing with their life on the line which makes it even more interesting to watch. The author describes the fear of each character very good and very realistic.

3. Soundtracks

I have to say, I really really love the opening song. It is so catchy and when I hear it, I want to dance. Here, give it a try:

The sounds of in the anime are really realistic too, I think the producer did a really good job!

4. Art / Animation

First I persoanlly needed a bit of time to get used to the art style. I didn't really like how the art of the faces of each character. But after I got used to it, I really liked it.

5. Conclusion

I really really like this anime as I said. I even watched it 2 times. That is why I will give this anime a 10/10. It debates about a topic which humanity will never solve. I think it is also a interesting way to think about the afterlife. I really recomment this anime! When I'm dead, I definitely want to meet Decim xD
