Robazoid 07/20/18 5:11:16 AM #406: | I guess I was due for a controversial opinion, but I really didn't like Death Parade. There were a few things I appreciated about it by the end, enough that I didn't hate it, but for the most part it was just too grim and edgy for me. I also didn't agree with the philosophical stance the world was based on but I guess I should tag those thoughts. Though, to the show's credit, it actually went on to explore this theme more than I expected it to. Chiyuki rightfully pointed out that he was forcing people into extreme situations and (duh) making them react in extreme ways, just like almost anyone would. It didn't necessarily say anything about their souls. It was nice seeing the story reach that same conclusion, I guess, but I was still left with the feeling that it kind of invalidated all the stories that came before it and made the whole series a little pointless. Especially since nothing really changed in the end. I dunno, all that world-building never really went anywhere. When I first saw the premise, I hoped this would be something more like helping people come to terms with the lives that they lived so they could move on to whatever comes next. That's what Chiyuki's arc wound up being about and I thought that whole thing was beautiful, especially the skating scene where she relived her memories. I wanted more of that and less endless twists about how one person was actually more terrible than the other (also terrible) person because fate shit on them. At the very least I hope we can all agree that the OP was amazing. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard! |
