Fast sell:

There's carnage in the classroom and Ganta gets the blame. Found guilty of multiple murders, the middle schooler is shipped off to Deadman Wonderland, a brutal prison where the inmates battle each other for entertainment of tourists. If Ganta is going to survive his violent new home, he'll have to learn to fight ...and fast! Crammed with visceral action scenes, pitch black humour and jaw-dropping animation, Deadman Wonderland is a blood-splattered rollercoaster ride of an anime.

Key talent:

Koichi Hatsumi, key animator on Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: SAC and Paranoia Agent, makes his stylish directorial debut.

Romi Park (Ed. Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist) and Kana Hanazawa (Chiaki in Bodacious Space Pirates) play protagonists Ganta and Shiro in the Japanese original, while Greg Ayres (Kouta in Baka And Test) and Monica Rial (Tsubaki in Soul Eater) voice them in the English dub.

We like it because:

Deadman Wonderland is a twisted tour de force of outrageously inventive violence, edge-of-your-seat action and hi-octane horror, stylishly directed and shot through a rich seam of gruesome gallows humour. Mad, bad and dangerous to know, Koichi Hatsumi's debut series is a thrill ride from start to finish.
