“Amnesiac teaches the complexity of the human condition”

Summary:

After death, either Heaven or Hell awaits most humans. But for a select few, death brings them to Quindecim—a bar where only pairs of people who die at the same time can enter. Attending the bar is an enigmatic figure known as Decim, who also acts as the arbiter. He passes judgment on those who wind up at Quindecim by challenging them to a life-threatening game. These games determine if the patron's soul will reincarnate into a new life, or be sent into the void, never to be seen again.

From darts and bowling to fighting games, the true nature of each patron slowly comes to light as they wager their souls. Though his methods remain unchanged, the sudden appearance of a black-haired amnesiac causes Decim to reevaluate his own rulings.

Trigger Warnings: [Admin: not stated, but I remember this has gore and violence, implied rape, and references to suicide]

Propaganda:

The entire show is about an amnesiac girl and an afterlife judge, who could not decide to send her to heaven or hell because she had no memories of her own life before she died. Since he could not decide, she is then left to help him with his job so that he has more time to judge her. Since the being is without the emotions and complexity that humans have, some find it unfair that he gets to play this role, including the amnesiac girl who tries to teach him about human emotions. How different people will react to scenarios differently based on life experiences. How not everyone doing bad things is evil and not everyone doing nice things is good. Its a show full of tons of emotion and life lessons about judging a book by its cover. While it is rather graphic, it does a really good job of setting the tone.
