Deadman Wonderland...

I've seen a handful of episodes on Cartoon Network and decided to pick up Deadman Wonderland...
Ganta is the only survivor after a mysterious man in red slaughters a classroom full of teenagers. He's framed for the carnage, sentenced to die, and locked away in the most twisted prison ever built: Deadman Wonderland. Then it gets worse. At Deadman Wonderland, convicts are forced into brutal deathmatches for the amusement of the masses, the cheers of the crowd drowning out the screams of the dismembered. Even when Ganta befriends Shiro, an unusual female inmate, his dark fate crushes all hope - until he discovers a strange ability to wield his spilled blood as a weapon. Ganta learns his new skill might be related to the murderous man in red and uncovers disturbing secrets that could expose those who stole his freedom. He's determined to see justice served - but first he'll have to fight for his life in a prison that holds a million ways to die.
Deadman Wonderland follows the exploits of Ganta and his relationship with the mysterious white-haired girl, Shiro. I've seen a handful of episodes on Cartoon Network. The series has a fair amount of bloodshed and violence. Fans of the manga on which the anime is based, will note that the anime only tells a portion of the story represented in the manga. While there are some unanswered questions at the end of the series, the Deadman Wonderland anime does tell a fairly complete story. Overall, the violence and red ink in Deadman Wonderland means it is probably not suitable for the youngest anime fans among us. I would give Deadman Wonderland a 3 out of 5.
