Review of Deadman Wonderland: The Red Knife Wielder

This review can contain some spoilers. English is not my native language so, excuse my grammar errors. Well, I finished this OVA the same day I finished the anime of DW. Now, where shall I begin? This OVA presents us Senji (aka Crow) as the main protagonist and it focuses in his past. Pretty interesting, huh?. Sadly, this was nothing but a complete filling OVA. There can be some scenes that are not filling but almost all the OVA was it. There are many characters that do not appear in the manga, although some of them were created to give more depth to Senji's personality and relationships, most of themdidn't add anything to the plot and left the main story as inexistent. Keigo is the perfect example because the main antagonist of the OVA it should have been Ikazuchi Akatsuki. If you readed the manga you will realize that Ikazuchi was the main responsible of the dead of Senji's comrades and his imprisonment. However, all Ikazuchi's time on screen was overshadowed by Keigo leaving Ikazuchi as a background character that did... nothing. Because of this, the part where Senji was accused and imprisoned is not shown.

I think Senji and his comrades were the only thing that prevented to give a lower score to the OVA.

Overall: 4
This OVA promises but fails. You can consider it just as a "wasted potential" OVA. Watch it under your own risk.
