Reside in Australia and been checking out the official online stream for Deadman Wonderland – or just a fan of the series in general? Madman Entertainment’s acquisition of the Australian license to the series was announced mid-2011 during the Sydney Supanova event amongst others which have either seen releases (Chaos; Head, GOSICK etc) or official anime streams (Nichijou: My Ordinary Life, Steins;Gate etc).
While release dates can potentially change between now and then, the company currently has plans to release this series this December. Just as the North American release, this will be a hybrid (English /Japanese) dub complete series release assumingly featuring all 12 episodes and the OVA episodes. Extra on-disc content will include commentary for episodes 6 and 12, promotional videos and textless songs.
Ganta is the only survivor after a mysterious man in red slaughters a classroom full of teenagers. He’s framed for the carnage, sentenced to die, and locked away in the most twisted prison ever built: Deadman Wonderland. Then it gets worse. At Deadman Wonderland, convicts are forced into brutal deathmatches for the amusement of the masses, the cheers of the crowd drowning out the screams of the dismembered. Even when Ganta befriends Shiro, an unusual female inmate, his dark fate crushes all hope – until he discovers a strange ability to wield his spilled blood as a weapon. Ganta learns his new skill might be related to the murderous man in red and uncovers disturbing secrets that could expose those who stole his freedom. He’s determined to see justice served – but first he’ll have to fight for his life in a prison that holds a million ways to die.
