Okay, so the data chip was a time bomb, Nagi was captured by a gay Buddhist priest, Ganta punches Shiro and we have a weird guy who likes licking stuff. What a great way to end the series!
No seriously, the fact that their original escape plan turned out to be a scheme made by the traitor to finish the entire group is indeed brilliant and quite expected for him to do but seeing him break down after discovering that his planned failed was the cherry on top. Also, Nagi being captured was also one of the best scenes in the last few episodes in which Genkaku try to bring him back into his “sanity” by injecting him drugs and cause him to see things and to be honest, it was one of the series' most intense scenes.
The Ganta punching Shiro scenario was one of my problems in the last three episodes due to how cliché it is that as we all know, Ganta will realize the error of his ways and say sorry to Shiro. The only impact that this scene had is at some point, Shiro called Ganta “weak” which caused him to ask Senji to train him for him to improve his Branch of Sin. As for the training, I love his harsh training method, especially when he decides to destroy most of Ganta's candies and used the last candy as something that he should get! More on Senji, we saw more of his awesome-ness in the last few episodes. Guess you must see it for yourself for you to be impressed.
Now back to Nagi, I love his “sane” state! Granted that it was Genkaku's idea of sanity, but still, it is awesome. Also, I just love how bloody the later episodes are and that's about it. As for the new character, Toto aka Mockingbird, I instantly love the guy due to how he acted most of the time. Speaking of something new, the highly improved Ganta Gun was quite something. Asides that uses less blood, it is quite precise and can cause shockwaves. Hopefully, in case they decided to go for a second season, they will give Mockingbird more screentime and focus more on how they will improve the power-ups.
Overall, the last three episodes was good and does a proper wrap up to the previous 2 episodes. Also, the fact that it left a couple of questions was also another plus to series since to those who are not aware, the source material is still on-going and with an on-going source material, you can expect more from the series since it ended with a high note.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Deadman Wonderland was one heck of a ride, the first few episodes had a kid framed for mass murder and in later episodes, had a couple of innocent humans think that they are seering some special effects spectacle in which a couple of inmates died for their entertainment. Oh, did I mention that Shiro is the Red Man and his costume was sorta based on Ganta's favorite superhero, Ace Man?
My problems with the series is the censorship and instances that the series becomes boring in some point and and instances you start suddenly caring about the series due to what's happening to the characters. Speaking of the characters, Ganta is yet again, another boring protagonist till the last two episodes in which he finally proves why we must care about the guy asides that he has some grudge on the Red Man and he is the main character. To be honest, most secondary characters are more interesting compared to Ganta. Take for instance Genkaku or the siblings. Another problem that I had with the series is the origins of the Branch of Sin. Okay, so they are hinting Shiro as the source of the Branch of Sin but I need a proper backstory!
Animation wise, it was good. Manglobe did a good job with the animation and the spalter scenes and I have nothing against with a good splater show. Final words about the series, it was a series that is good for killing time and that's about it.
