Death Parade is a home-brewed anime series that rests at a short 12 episodes and talks about purgatory, the meaning of life, and the philosophical ramifications of life after death. It's beautifully animated and emotionally heavy, has a banger opening track, and relies heavily on its audience to humor it as it asks thought-provoking questions and explores interesting topics about life and death. Not into that? Fret not, dear listener - Michael adds a dissenting perspective to the anime's construction and brings up some valid criticisms to just how much we should really expect from an anime TV series.
