As thoroughly disturbed as I was after watching the first 10 minutes or so of this anime, I definitely have to give it my respect for its story content and the feeling of uncertainty that it leaves you after every episode.  Many of us have watched shounen anime where the main character has a goal in mind and by sheer willpower or hard work it always works out in the end.  But Deadman Wonderland is different, it is at almost the complete opposite end of the spectrum because not everything goes right for Ganta in this series and he's not a strong character, but a determined character nonetheless.  It's odd that I'm praising the fact that not everything goes right in this series because just when you think:, "OH OKAY IT'S SAFE TO LOOK NOW" that's the moment when it slaps you in the face with shocking/inappropriate/stomach churning/flat out messed up stuff.
