First off, I don't have a problem with Deadman Wonderland. It was a pretty good and entertaining anime. Plus, in my opinion, the dub was pretty funny and decent. The theme song slaps and the story was well told. Most of the characters were great and helped to push the story forward. But have you ever watched an anime where you despised the main character? And or thought that they were unfit to be the main character? Well, get ready for Ganta, one of the most pointless and useless main characters around. I understand that he went through a horrible experience and he's just a
...
kid thrown to the wolves. But, that does not give him an excuse to be as toxic a person as he is. I feel like every time Ganta takes a step forward in his character development the next scene pushes him 2 or 3 steps back from where he just was. It also doesn't help that his plot armor is so thick. In most of the fights that he gets in, he should not win or he should die, but he doesn't. And I don't mind the plot armor, but I can feel his kicking in in EVERYTHING he does. It's like the writers put him into a fight and then realize he can't win unless some ex-Machina shows up or the enemy lets him KO them. I feel he goes nowhere in his journey of growth, even when the writers have Shiro talk about how he, "always gets back up" it feels like she's talking about someone else to me. Even at the end when Ganta gives his monologue showing his growth I didn't believe it. I could be the only one who is this displeased with him, but I don't care.
So TLDR, the anime itself is great, but Ganta brings it down.
