Instead of finding a killer, the main character from Death Parade is seeking an anomaly in the sorting system within the rules of the anime. The characters this year are pulled from shows such as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Fullmetal Alchemist, Tokyo Ghoul, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and the esteemed video game Undertale. The script is fan written by Bronté Bettencourt and Alex Yap, with affiliation from UCF's Anime Spot. The show usually runs between 1h30-2hrs.
