• Death Parade Review

    I watched Death Parade a while back so this review is a bit late in coming, but what compelled me to write it now is that I've been listening to the outro song a lot. It's absolutely beautiful. Despite this though, I didn't vibe with the actual show that much? The parts that were good were REALLY good and the rest hovered right on the line of mediocre. Death Parade is a bit corny for my tastes, but it's not bad and I think the overall message is that you can't sort people into the categories of "deserving hapiness" and "not", specifically in a spriritual sense, which is something I always enjoy no matter how times I've seen it.

    Usually this theme is done through a christian heaven/hell lens though, so it's refreshing to see reincarnation/destruction used instead.

    One of the main things that I didn't like were the instances where the plot "threatened" to be dramatic, but wheezed out on an underwhelming note, like when the dude in Rolling Ballade had this freaky psycho look while holding the heart bowling ball. I always find these kinds of "haha, you THOUGHT we were upping the stakes, didn't you?" plot twists to be annoying. What I remember most strongly were the last two or three episodes, I think. While I liked Decim and Chiyuki's dynamic most previously, and didn't care for the way it was ended, but while I didn't care much for Ginti/Mayu/Harada's side plot initially, their ending made me the saddest (translate: I enjoyed it). What was most corny to me was the whole "emotionless character learns emotions" thing or whatever. I do like this trope sometimes but the way they ended his arc was just kinda goofy. (Clutches heart "what is this... is this feeling...is it, CRINGE?" sinks to my knees)

    Overall, I did enjoy Death Parade, just felt it fell flat in some areas.
