Since you brought it up. I started out so very hype for Death Parade because of Death Billiards. It started out just as strong as the short, imo. And then, just as everyone else suspected, it got increasingly repetitive up to episode 6. To make matters worse, the very vague way they kept trying to show you glimpses of the overarching plot and how the world works we confusing and kinda annoying. After episode 6, I got kinda bored, and very busy, so I decided to just take a break from it until it was over.
I watched the last 6 episodes all at once they were so good. I suddenly started liking characters that had annoyed me the whole time. Episodes 8 and 9 were two of the best episodes of an anime I’ve seen in a while. It reminded me why I loved Death Billiards so much in the first place.
Honestly, the only thing that I ended up being dissatisfied with about this show was how vague and inconclusive it was. There was tons of mysteries about the world and the arbitrators that were left wide open. Despite knowing that I could even get repetitive again, I would love to see a second season to get some closure on these things.
