Deadman Wonderland

Umm, yea... This one is pretty cool for those that are into the Gladiator type deal. It takes place in the near future, like 2023 I think it said, and is actually a combo of various things. Forstarters it takes the concept of Superjail by making the prison a type of themepark, which it really is, where the people are killed leisurely. There also appears to be no limitations on age brackets because the main character is only 14 years old and sent there are being falsely imprisoned for the mass murder of his entire class. There you have to play games with your lives on the line, even if you're not on death-row, to get "money" so that you may live better. All in all it's a good series but not for the weak-stomach. I mean, if you lose a fight in the arena if you're one who uses powers that uses you own blood, you have to play a punishment game where one of your body-parts is ripped away for study. But yea, it's a good series but like I said, not for those with a weak constitution. Check it out and discuss it here with other fans of the series.

Hmm, I'll give it a look. Seems pretty interesting, based on the first few pages of chapter one.

I have currently taken a particular liking to Deadman Wonderland, It's got a little bit of action, a little bit of fan service, a little bit of innocence, a little bit of sadism. This manga is amazing due to the shear ability to have such contrasting characters and such an interesting storyline.

I'm still taken in by the fact that it takes place in a prison. I've never seen that happen in a manga or anime. Well, not one so secured by the warden. Plus, I've always had a thing for types of media that killed prisoners for the entertainment of the masses. I'm still wondering how stupid the people are for thinking that someone falling into two halves right before them could be considered a special effect.

Well it's obviously a crack at how little smarts simple bystanders in life and in manga are.

If you've been reading recently I'm beginning to get bored with the lack of character development on some smaller cool characters mainly You. I mean yes the whole incident with Nagi was bad ass, but all the same I feel as "cooler" characters are being introduced other older cool characters are being ignored

Yea, but there is likely to be some new kickass stuff happening. Now only Ganta remains as one of the Deadmen and there's moves to bring in more. I'm willing to bet that the woman who runs the normal side is going to be one of them. It sucks that it's not updated very often.

I want to see what that "grandpa" fellow has up his sleeve(yet one of the many forgotten amazing characters)... and I too dislike how slow it takes for updates, but what can you expect, DMWL is a monthly manga, so its large and takes a while to translate, and SC scans put a lot of time and effort into their scans...

You download right from the scan sight right? cause Manga Volume takes twice as long to update the series.

No, I don't download it. I never looked at the url. If I had that then I'd download it. So, I view it on Onemanga. But I could have sworn that the Grandpa was dead. I'm fairly certain that I've seen his head in a pile of debris in one area and then his body in the another.

Sounds a bit like Battle Royale.
Just with a bit more gore perhaps?

Darkfyre · April 19th, 2009, 10:34 AM

Dunno. Never read Battle Royale.

Grandpa wasn't in Scar Chain and he thats so far since the "Grandpa" fellow showed up, only people with affiliations to scar chain, or going against scar chain have died.

Ohh you're thinking I mean the Director XP,I forgot the name of the "grandpa" dude I'm talking about the old guy with his "daughter" in his head.

Also if you want the Scanlator's site url, i can send it to you via pm, Onemanga usually doesnt update in time. Im just a little Iffy on posting direct links here

Darkfyre · April 25th, 2009, 08:45 AM

Sure, go ahead.

Oh, that guy. I kinda forgot about him. I guess it's because of the lack of updates and the hype of the recent prison break. But it makes me wonder what they'll do about the Candy. Unless I've forgotten somethin' again then they'll all die in a few days other than the ones that have candy with them. Either that or they'll find some guy who can take them off.

I could revive this thread... Heh...

Cinollex told me about this manga a few days ago, and I really like it - already up to chapter 13. The idea is fascinating, and all the characters are so interesting... My favourites at the moment are Crow, Super Monk and Rokuro (who kinda reminds me of Zexion). :3
I've also been surprised a few times... for example, when

Sounds interesting. I'll check it out.
