In our world, 90,000 people die every day, some go to bliss and some go to hell, but others arrive at Queen Decim after their death, a bar where a mysterious white-haired man named Decim is, and because they do not remember that they died, The person is playing a game in which their lives are at stake and their true nature is revealed, thus determining their fate.

And because the players have already died before reaching that mysterious place, this game does not decide the life or death of any of the players, but deliberately to capture their lives and bring out the most evil deeds and morals within them, and then the Governor "Decim" or any other governor to send That person either to bliss, or to hell.

These are not myths, this is the series of "death parade" or the procession of death, which assumes that the human soul after death is sent to a mysterious place called "Queen Decim" and is determined by fate, either to hell or hell, by an arbitration system supervised by non-human creatures but They are like humans in form and governed by three rules: the ruler can not give up judgment, the condemned can not experience death because death makes him human, the condemned has no human feelings because he is just a puppet.

The 12 episodes, each one of which tells the story of two different people arriving at this mysterious place, "Queen Decim" to determine their fate, is based on the story of the short film "Death Billiards", and revolves around several simple questions: What does life mean ? Can humans be judged through their worst case? Is human nature good or evil? Are all human beings alike? What is the purpose of life and death? But in order to provide answers, the series sailed in much more complex ways.

This is not just an anime, and the game that humans play in this bar is not just a game of fun and enjoyment, it is even more severe, and it may make you jump from excitement or burst out of grief. The simple questions posed by the series about the meaning of life, the nature of the human soul and its trial, took it into a dense forest of symbols, philosophies and mythological and religious visions,

The first level: is the identification of the trial system after death. The two players come after their death and they are missing any memories. These memories and data are analyzed and sent to the ruler in advance to make his judgment. There is a hierarchy of the system. God, and then the supervisor of the tower of governors "Nona" is responsible for the distribution of roles and the appointment of governors, and finally the governors who are keen to put players in harsh conditions to take the reality of their lives.

The second level: relates to the ruler himself, and here the serial enters the heart of the story, Where the story is about a girl with black hair that does not remember her name, but she is the only human who remembers that she died after she arrived at Queen Decim, so the ruler Decim could not convince her. To run any game because it knows that it is already dead, so decided "Nona" supervisor Tower of the governors to put it as an aid to the Governor, "Decim," which will be a "Nona" experience where you will put inside some human feelings, to experience what will happen during the arbitration, The governor portrayed "Decim" as a way of looking at people and trying them and the perception of the girl who would object To the whole system of arbitration, but will instill suspicion in the heart of "Decim and Nona" themselves on the fairness of human judgment.

The third level: is as an existential social experience to study the behavior and nature of human beings. When one lives on the brink of death, his actions change, and love turns into hatred, affection into greed and hatred, and human beings become pathetic.
The people who arrive at "Queen Decim" are forced to play, no matter how hard they are, and if they feel pain, or ask someone to stop the game, Decim replies that they have to end the game, reminding us of the famous social miligram experience. Several players have not been between revenge, jealousy, hatred and greed and explode issues such as justice, suicide, isolation and others

As for the killing, the series devoted to him several episodes to discuss it extensively, as if the series discusses social issues in an existential and philosophical way that interferes with the meaning of life and the meaning of death in all matters related to human questions.
