Let me explain before I start the lecture. Although almost all of the following are complaining, this is indeed a good work, and I strongly recommend everyone to watch it. It’s best if you’ve seen the original work, and then watch my rant, or else you won’t watch it anymore…
(Note: There are no spoilers in this article)
Quind Kim is a bar that doesn’t sell alcohol, but Responsible for judging people after death. Through the act of digging into the dark side of people's hearts, it is decided whether the dead should eventually turn into reincarnation or nothingness, or commonly known as heaven and hell. Souls who are thrown into reincarnation will be reincarnated and become human again; while those who are thrown into nothingness will have their souls dissipated, leaving only the human consciousness, which will remain in the void forever.
As far as storytelling goes, the death march couldn't have been better, the stories of every deceased person who came to Quinn de Chim were so touching, some even brought me to tears--( Touched person)
What impressed me the most was the story of a suicide otaku in the arcade chapter, as if I saw myself in him.
But despite my high marks for this work, I still think that the rigor of some of the settings in the work needs to be strengthened. There are many management problems with this adjudication body.
(I will call the protagonist and his party's working unit for the time being the adjudication agency.)
There are some illogical places in the work, as repeatedly emphasized in the animation, "7,000 people die every hour in the world".
In order not to overwhelm the workload, the entire judicial body must be able to judge at least 7,000 people per hour. So how many people are there in the entire judicial body?
The agency's top executive, curly-haired girl Nona, said her office was the top of the 90 floors. Adjudicators, such as Dekim and Ginty, are on the floor below her. Although not explicitly stated in the animation, by observing the elevator and room relationship in the animation, an arbitrator should only occupy one floor. In other words, this adjudication body may only have less than 90 adjudicators. If you take into account the floor occupied by the Intelligence Department, there should be fewer adjudicators.
Let's assume 90 adjudicators. Then, in each hour, an adjudicator has to deal with 7000÷90≈77.8 people in order to keep up with the speed of human death. One adjudicator, adjudicated 77.8 people in one hour.
In animation, an adjudication takes at least 23 minutes (the length of an animated episode), excluding time that is cut out and time off for adjudicators. Two people are adjudicated at a time, and if one adjudication takes 30 minutes, then one adjudicator can only adjudicate four people in one hour. Compared with 77.8, this task volume...
If I reset it, I would at least set the adjudication agency where the protagonist is located as a branch in Japan, not the head office. In this case, 90 people can barely complete the task. (Don’t forget the amount of work in China, a high-density population area.)
You may also open your mind and say: maybe an hour in Quinn de Kim is only one minute in the world.
Nadkim served as a judge in Quindkim for 5 years. Dekim didn’t eat, sleep, and work hard, and adjudicated 4 people in one hour. In fact, it would actually cost at least (77.8÷4)×5=97.25 years. If you add sleep and rest time, the actual number of years in office should be doubled... Besides, if there is an important setting such as the speed of time flow, it makes no sense to say at the beginning--
Secondly, the memory management problem of the intelligence bureau.
In episode 10, Nona asked Quinn to help find the memory of the black-haired, white-haired girl (Zhiyuki). Quinn did not use any means, including superpowers, to find the bag of memory fragments with his bare hands from the mountain of cloth bags.
Seeing this, I was taken aback.
Comrade, 7,000 people in an hour, 7,000 × 24 × 365 = 61.32 million people's memories in a year, is it really okay to pile up like this? And, there are only so many bags? Obviously they will use an industrial conveyor belt to transmit memories, but they don't number and sort the memory bags?
What's interesting is that Quinn shouted at the top of the bag mountain and turned it over while shouting how to find it like a hill...
In addition, the original setting said that the adjudicator has no human feelings. That is to say, they will only execute a certain procedure mechanically to carry out the trial, and it is unlikely that they will act outside the execution procedure. To some extent, it should be close to super artificial intelligence.
Not to mention that Dekim was secretly implanted with human emotions by Nona, Gindy should have never been implanted with human emotions. But Gindy is more human than Dekim, impulsive and angry, haha.
The predecessor of the Death Parade was Death Billiards. Death billiards tend to be curious and suspenseful, while death parade adds an element of human emotion. Both have their strengths. My personal preference is to watch Death Parade first, then Death Billiards.
Although there are some dissatisfactions, in this era when most of the new works are shoddy, I still recommend everyone to watch this work. Maybe give you some new inspiration.
