* TroubledProduction: While the anime did get a boost due to the Creator/{{Toonami}} block, it was very clear that things were not going to plan on the Japanese side of things. For starters, the anime was [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-07-30/deadman-wonderland-manga-gets-anime-green-lit announced in July of 2009]], yet no information started to come out until ''late February 2011''. On top of that, the director, Koichi Hatsumi, even admitted during an interview that the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScheduleSlip 'first episode was not even done']]. '''''Said interview took place a month before the series would premiere.''''' This shows as the animation is of uneven quality, the censorship (and the infamous Dark Rooms) is retained for the home video release, and the Japanese actors themselves seem to give rather [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DullSurprise uneven performances]].

** Early information on the anime series seem to indicate that Azami was initially planned to be adapted, seeing as how the old man from chapter 2 was on one of the [[https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYmYngvHUpWdMTSxEIwvKL2cCbja1Hc8urZCCDLUvIS-6nUnmeQvjYIe0XwwoK6ZQ1Kdu6X5p5I14EyKSrV2ypts6tPfCV2J7bBZaGiOKkvczQsNDRwXeSslp_1ucI5_4J6qxxIm4iiclyWe2sMisOvIMAoBtSxZ10YAY2aNsDs8dg7zbizuoAZzJ6/s1485/02.jpg earliest character sheets]], along with Yoh's informant, Chang. However, for whatever reason, this was scrapped (presumably for time constraints), and the design was reused for another unnamed Deadman, Albatross.

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The 'Great Tokyo Earthquake' was changed in the anime to the 'Red Hole Event' as a way to not remind anyone of the then-recent [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami Tohoku Earthquake]].

* SleeperHit: The anime adaptation did not do very well in its original Japanese run, and Creator/{{FUNimation}} picked it up for a cheap buck. When it was announced that Creator/AdultSwim would be reviving Creator/{{Toonami}} as an anime-only block for late-night TV on Saturdays, Creator/{{FUNimation}} and Williams Street struck a deal to give ''Deadman Wonderland'' a premiere-only run, airing episodes 1 through 12 as a promotion for the DVD release. While the first week's episodes weren't anything special, by week two the anime's ratings began to '''rival''' those of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', with later episodes breaking a million viewers.
