Deadman Wonderland – OVA

「赤いナイフ使い」 (Akai Naifu Tsukai)
"Red Knife User"

Released earlier this month with the eleventh volume of the manga, Deadman Wonderland's OVA features an original episode centering around Kiyomasa Senji's past as a police officer. It provides an interesting glimpse into his pre-Deadman life, something that I've been curious about after seeing the images in the ending sequence.

「絶望のGIG 」 (Zetsubou no GIG)
"Gig of Despair"

Ganta admits his weakness, wimpiness, and pathetic-ness and resolves to become stronger and training with Crow. Now that is the attitude I was looking for and it certainly elevates him at least somewhat to a proper protagonist.

「酸化促進剂(ワームイーター)」 (Sanka Sokushinji (Waamu Iitaa))
"Oxidation Accelerant (Worm Eater)"

A lot of the characters on the "good guy" side seem weak and inexperienced, and in the brutal environment of Deadman Wonderland, their naivety and lack of intuition is really taking a heavy toll.
