Judgment in Death Parade

As the video I use for this reflection says, what makes an anime interesting is its premise (in addition
to that, I'm also currently interested in anime that can tell an interesting story in a short time, which this
anime also does). The premise of Death Parade involves judgment of a person's life after they die,
including how this judgment works in this anime, how it should work, and other questions about
it/related to it.
How judgment works in this anime is that people are judged in pairs based on their actions during a
game they have to play against each other. The people who are judged in pairs are usually people who
have died at the same time, but don't remember much, if anything, about themselves until the game
progresses. This also includes the circumstances surrounding their deaths, which influences what they
do during the game and their judgment. In other words, judgment is based on what is seen at a certain
moment.
This probably isn't the best way to perform these judgments, which is mentioned at times
throughout the anime. People usually reveal their true nature before they die, which I guess is also true
for people who are dead already and facing judgment. Does this happen naturally or does someone,
and/or something, make such a reveal happen?
Besides questioning how these judgments should work, there are also other questions brought up in
this anime not only about judgment, like who ends up where and why, but also questions related to
judgment, like about death, life, and other moral issues.
