Anime Review | Death Parade

Whaaat another anime? Like I said, I've been binge-watching as many shows as possible. One of the animes that I've recently finished is Death Parade.

Summary:
Whenever two people on earth die at the same time, they are sent to bars run by arbiters. At these strange bars, people must participate in Death Games to determine their ultimate fates: reincarnation or the void. Decim, an arbiter at Quindecim, is one of these many arbiters who determine people's fates. He does as he's told, running his Quindecim efficiently and effectively. But his perspective changes when he meets a puzzling, dark-haired woman.

Classified as a mystery/ psychological thriller, Death Parade was definitely a very different show for me. I haven't really watched a show quite like it. I found it intriguing and very thought-provoking. The concept of judgment for the afterlife was very cool. The graphics were also wonderful with its beautiful purple-ish color palette. However, as much as I liked this anime, I found some parts of it slightly confusing and inconclusive. I didn't really know what to make of the end. I also wished that I got to know more of the side characters. Still, it wrapped up quite well for the kind of show that it was.
