Spawned from a an animation short titled “Death Billiards”, which was originally produced by Madhouse for the Young Animator Training Project’s Anime Mirai 2013 and released on March 2, 2013, “Death Parade” is a rather unique title, both in terms of presentation, but mostly, due to its intensely philosophical context.
When people die, and before their soul is sent for either reincarnation of banishment in the void, they have to pass through one of many mysterious bars that are situated in a tower that exists in the border between life and after-life. These bars are run by entities known as arbiters, who appear as bartenders, but whose real purpose is to have the dead (who always come in pairs) participate in games, that eventually reveal their true characters, thus allowing the arbiters to decide on their soul.

In another of this year’s original anime series (not based on a manga that is), the creators of “Deca-Dence” try to do something radically different with their title, combining a number of trademark elements with a rather complex and unusual main premise which also extends to the drawing and animation of the series.
In the latter part of the 2400s, air pollution reached lethal levels. As humanity hurtled toward extinction, they were also threatened by the emergence of life forms known as Gadoll, causing the extinction of 90% of the world’s population. Large corporations developed cyborgs to carry out human functions, but the cyborgs eventually began to outnumber humans and the Solid Quake Corporation acquired rights to manage humanity. The company created a giant dome on the Eurasian continent in which they installed a colossal entertainment facility called Deca-dence, with its own independent all-governing system to make all decisions.
