Impressions: Pandasal

The story begins when a couple find themselves riding an elevator. They have no idea where they’re going and they don’t know how they got there. They arrive at a bar named Quindecim which is attended by a bartended named Decim, who challenged them to a game of darts where they put their lives at stake.

This show is just marvelous. It shows the dark side ofhumanity when faced with fear and will leave the viewer
thinking who deserves to go to hell and who deserves to goes to heaven. The animation is neatly done and the emotional stress the game puts on the characters are greatly emphasized. This show is perfect for viewers who prefer a little mind game in their anime.
