If it only had judgement episodes, it would have been great (though not as good as other anime this season).
However, they keep having meta episodes or comedy episodes that I personally didn't find very funny so its actually shaping up to be disappointment of the season.
>>121510701
Being bad
>>121511344
Yuri Kuma?
You have to admit, Death Parade really is a masterpiece.
I haven't seen a show as deep and philosophical as this for a long time.
>>121511395
I believe you've missed the point of the show. It's not supposed to be dramatic; making light of life & death is a product of artistic finesse. Madhouse have done it again.
>>121510701
khm a new season of gintam is coming in April. sorry dude

>Talking about an anime being AOTY when the year just started.
Nips were right, Death Parade is garbage and only attracts retards, thank god is selling like shit.
>>121510701
Death Parade is basically using Sharia law to judge souls. One judge with no jury is able to sentence harsh punishments with little fairness. We've already observed the wrong people being sent to 'Hell', just because of a mistake.
>>121512228
>Mistake
That only happened on the first episode, everyone else deserved what they got.
>>121510701
Cinderella Girls and Kancolle
>>121512073
A gag anime can't beat the artistic integrity Death Parade has. Gintama doesn't have deep themes, just stupid jokes.
>>121512165
Japan actually likes the show a lot of you read 2ch. You should also tone down your racism.

Decim said himself that he fucked up. I'm not talking about this again.
>>121510701
Yes there are a great deal of things, Parasyte can out do DP without trying. Even A/Z is more enjoyable to watch at this point
>>121512479
I haven't seen numbers that bad since Sam Flam
>>121512644
>A/Z better than Death Parade
Whoa, there. Let's not go that far.
>>121512707
But it is.
>>121512707
It's more enjoyable to watch. I didn't say it had a better story, just watching it every week to see how much the writers can do an ass pull to fix a plot hole, or how more stupid characters can get makes it worth watching
A shitty ending, one so tasteless it devalues the entire experience. You can't refute this.
>>121512046
So why are all the characters so damn unlikable
The intro of Death parade was so good that i thought it would be a good show, but i was very wrong about that.
>>121511913

>Is there anything that can stop this amazing show from winning Anime of the Year
Yes, itself.
>>121512479
It's out in June, not in March. It might gain some after the end.
>>121512743
That was begining of first season, it all went downhill from there.
>>121514561
You can't be this delusional. It's not only that nips hate it, it's fuckin winter and a madhouse show to boot.
It might as well have even worse numbers.
>>121513265
Even Nona is unlikable, stop forcing your seasonal waifu on the rest of us.
>>121514700
Why the fuck, animation studio has any matter here?
>>121514705
Your opinion is worth equally shit as every other.
>>121514600
Then why are there people here still pissing themselves for the next episode? Death Parade doesn't go that far and the people willing to watch another episode knows that nothing is going to happen anyway.
>>121514824
Madhouse shit doesn't sell, newfriend. They have hits every now and then, but the majority of the stuff they release don't sell.
>>121514853
Because hype train, same for Cross Ange, VVV, GC etc.
>>121514824
>Why the fuck, animation studio has any matter here?
If Death Parade was made by KyoAni or I.G. would you be more willing to watch it? Big name companies have an effect on the market. Educate yourself.
>>121514943
And how that matter? It's just retarded /a/ "meme" that Madhouse's shows don't sell. DN, NGNL, Mahouka were succesful. Galaxy Angel had 3 sequels, Oda Nobuna had decent sales.
>>121515012
I watch nearly everthing per season most likely I would.
So Madhouse isn't a big name?
>>121515016
Yes, it's so retarded that it's true.
Don't get angry that your shitty western pandering show is not selling at all.
>>121510701
Sunrise has taken AOTY for several years in a row and this year will be no different.
>>121514952
okay, then why doesn't death parade have any hype? the only hype ive seen for this show was at the beginning where the United Slut Defense were looking for an explanation in the second ep.
>>121515095
Who decides if show is western pandering? Nips or autistic faggots on boards for basement dwellers?
>>121515147
Term AOTY on /a/ is worth shit and only causes retarded shitposting. It shoul've been blacklisted like "shota" and cause thread to autosage.
>>121515178
Why does hype matter? Mushishi Zoku threads were mostly dead, does it make show bad?
>>121515061
If you watch everything you say you watch then you would know Madhouse is declining in popularity.
Sunrise has always taken the lead and probably stay that way for a couple more years. See >>121515147
>>121510701
It's to straight forward for japan, what they should have done is not explain shit, make the bartender a teenager dealing with overblown emotions about judging the way people lived despite never having lived himself, you could make it so he gets emotionally attached to people he knows will disappear from him life in a few hours. It's always vague and emotional shit that wins awards.
>>121512165
Nips are never right when it comes to anime...
>>121515308
>Sunrise has always taken the lead and probably stay that way for a couple more years.
Not even studio matters these days without marketing like Sonyjews from Aniplex.
Good night.
>>121515256
hype is what makes people more inclined to watch something. unlike you, who probably sticks around until the end, other people have wavering interest levels similar to a rat with adhd. most people wouldnt want to spend time or money (if you live in nip land) to watch something that isnt worthwhile
basic economics 101 yo
>>121515256
Nips already said they hate it.
And the sells number proved enough. I don't know what else to tell you.
>>121510701
Maybe by being boring shit, I don't know.

>>121512743
I love mech and scifi in general, I only go a few episodes into A/Z I really did like the idea of somewhat realistic mechs beating the crap out of beam sword wielding tossers but it still managed to make me lose interest. DP just looks better and hard to predict.
>>121515016
Those were the hits.
Now tell me how much Btooom! and everything else from 2014 sold?
>>121514561
It's flopping retard, and it doesn't have the noitaminA excuse where it can live off ratings instead of sales.
>>121515016
NGNL didn't even mean double G's, Mahouka only pulled a simple 11k and that's pathetic since people were insisting it was going to be the next SAO, and DN is their only really successful show both Japan and America ever.
Only person defending dp is now gone.

That was when Madhouse was cool anon, nearly a decade ago

OH MY GOD HARADA A BOMB

***PASTA FOR PEOPLE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND THE SHOW***
The void/reincarnation system is based off of how the pair act once they reach Quindecim. Their life memories have no influence on this except to provide context. To wit:
Death Billiards: Going from the game, the young man was going to get voided, but the based old guy stepped in and asked to be voided in his place.
EP 1-2: The husband was pretty nasty during the game and there was some arguing, but the woman's outburst at the end gets her voided because Decim was too autistic to understand that she was faking. This is why Nona is so mad at him and appoints Onna as his assistant.
EP 3: Both of them are civil and kind during the game. Neither of them did anything wrong, thus they both get reincarnated.
EP 4: The woman loses it during the game and physically assaults the otaku. In addition to this, she's clearly ungrateful when her special attack involving her kids doesn't do enough damage. The otaku does defend himself by getting back up and trying to win, but whether or not you consider that wrong he was still the more civil and kinder during the game. Hence, the woman is voided. This is probably the single greatest evidence for the "only the game matters" system.
Ep 5: ---
Ep 6: We don't know what happens to Mayu and the idol yet, stop fucking asking. Given her place in the OP though, she's probably here to stay.
Also, for the last fucking time, the system has little to do with Buddism, if anything at all. The void is not Nirvana, it's explicitly stated in promotional material that it is a bad place.
>>121516342
honestly i thought the red head guys job was to judge who should die or not, was kinda bummed when the winner died.
>>121516342

Y'all niggers be judging this show but it only half over how the Fuck can you know if it'll be an AOTS? The next 6 eps could be fucking mind blowing or utter shit. Or maybe dog days will make a comeback. Or maybe kancolle will develop a fan base that's not retarted. I don't know yet anything could happen since THE SEASON ISNT FUCKING OVER YOU FUCKING DUMBASSES GOT ME MAD OVER FUCKING NOTHING

Are you genuinely black or are one one of those whigger/spigger faggots who wants to be?
Is there any definitive way to tell which place they get sent to besides your morals?
>>121516787
The faces over the elevators. White = Reincarnated; Red = Voided

There's nothing deep about it. It's easy to understand. But some people are dense as fuck, especially on /a/.

Oh, come on. Even that retard bear anime from Ikuhara is deeper than DP.
>>121515841
It's rated 8.4 on MyAnimeList and 4.4 stars out of 5 on Anime Planet. That's huge.

Great meme my friend
>>121517137
It makes me think if there are people that really believes that popularity on sites like MAL or Gaia matters for the show's sales.
I don't think that anyone would be that naive, but still.
>>121517074
>It's rated 8.4 on MyAnimeList and 4.4 stars out of 5 on Anime Planet
This in no way, shape or form helps it financially.
>>121516478
You tell them.
It really isn't hard if you're prepared to give it a bit of thought.
>>121517224
Isn't Gaia basically dead now? I think r/Anime and MAL forums were the commonplaces for normies and bonafide weeaboos now.
>>121517275
Really?
I always kept saying shit like "go back to gaia", I feel silly now.
>>121517226
So what? It does matter when it comes to Anime of the Year. Its going to win whether you like it or not.
>>121517145
It's relevant to AOTY
>>121517450
>It does matter when it comes to Anime of the Year

>>121517715
You're calling me a shit-tier pleb but you're going out of your way to defend Boring Parade. Fuck that noise.
The reason I like this show is that it exposed me to Bradio.
Death Parade a best
>>121511576
Go away
>>121517780
Could you please read next time?
I agree that "Boring" Parade is shit.
>>121517864
Bear why do you like anything that's from Madhouse ever, no exceptions? Didn't you see BTOOOM and Mahou Sensou for the garbage they were?
>>121517930
I didn't watch either of them. Death Parade is just amazing, even if it wasn't by Madhouse. Even though Madhouse is by far the best studio, there are still a few shows I didn't like that they made.
>>121516724
>Y'all niggers be judging this show but it only half over how the Fuck can you know if it'll be an AOTS? The next 6 eps could be fucking mind blowing or utter shit.

But shirobako is also airing in 2015 OP.
>>121517616
Lol, what a noob.
Gintama is one of, if not the most overrated anime ever made based on the MyAnimeList ratings. It relies way too heavily on referencial humor, and the writing repeats itself to the point of sheer tedium.
Why does everything always have to be anime of the year/season with you guys? Can't you just enjoy stuff without overblowing it? This is why certain shows get shitposted in.
I noticed the top of the thread was nothing but provokative shitposting and reverse-trolling, are we talking about the show yet? I really liked the Twister episode, my acrophobia really kicked in at the end.
>>121519085
Why not? It's always worth discussing what the best anime is.
Why have Oscars at all?
>>121510701

You're just making shit up.
It could be argued that the women with all the kids doesn't get voided.
That is what is nice about the series, that they keep it ambiguous (excluding episode 1). Knowing exactly what happens to the players is unimportant.
>>121517647
I thought Captain Earth was supposed to be the anti-Eva?
Death Parade is a 7/10 anime at best, 8/10 for the OP alone
I really like the character design, but every episode has been quite sluggish and don't really offer anything too special
Still the whole bar-aesthetic is cool in my books
Clavis the best
