Death Parade
Synopsis: After death, heaven or hell awaits most humans. But for a few, death leads them to Quindecim - a bar where only pairs of people who die at the same time can enter. Participating in the bar is an enigmatic figure known as Decim, which also acts as a referee. He judges those who end in Quindecim, challenging them to a life-threatening game. These games determine whether the patron's soul will reincarnate in a new life or will be sent to the emptiness, never to be seen.
From darts and bowling to fighting games, the true nature of each patron slowly comes up as they bet on their souls. Although their methods remain unchanged, the sudden appearance of a black -haired amnesic causes decim to reevaluate his own decisions.
