Deadman Wonderland

Deadman Wonderland is a new highly anticipated serialized anime program adapted from the popular manga series of the same name written by Jinsei Kataoka. The story follows Ganta Igarashi, a mild-mannered and simple middle-school child who has just been wrongly convicted for the murder of a classroom full of his friends and peers. Ganta is then sent to the privately run for-profit prison known as Deadman Wonderland. Built at the epicenter of a massive earthquake that destroyed much of Tokyo, Deadman Wonderland markets itself as a model rehabilitation facility where inmates can work and live in relative freedom and can even purchase various goods with the prison's unique currency called Cast Points. Unfortunately for Ganta and the rest of the inmates, the deceptive veneer hides a terrible secret. Illustrated by the renowned manga writer and artist, Kazuma Kondou, Deadman Wonderland is a beautifully crafted story about one child's quest for truth, and vengeance.
