Death Parade
|
It's an odd comparison, but the theme of emotions, motives and not "judging a book by its cover" came to mind, as well as the calm atmosphere of a cafe (Time of Eve)/ bar (Death March). In some ways, they share a similar theme of being unprejudiced. Outside of main settings, Time of Eve presses how androids are oppressed and Nagi wants to provide them a safe haven where they can be seen as people with emotions and personalities, while in Death Parade, Humans are looked down on by arbiters in this limbo, except by Decim, the bar-tending arbiter, who respects people who lived full lives, though he doesn't quite understand humans, he slowly begins to learn.
