Dead Mount Death Play

The anime started off great in the first two episodes. And after that she went in very boring directions. I really liked the first episode and it made me expect a really good series, but as the episodes progressed, the extent of the disappointment became clear. Generic characters with no background story, slow and boring pace of plot development. Usually I deal with anime like this and manage to watch and finish. I had a hard time with this anime. The design of the anime itself looks good and the battle scenes are reasonable. I would have expected a more interesting story, a faster pace and more interesting characters.

Look, I'll level with you: I have no idea what the hell is happening in this anime. It's a familiar feeling, one I experienced about 13 episodes into Durarara! "Am I stupid? Is this supposed to make sense? Why does this all seem so much more complicated than it needs to be?" Lots of characters, lots of competing motivations, a necromancer from another world, an unkillable guy covered in bandages, a fire...guy? Police guys, vaguely crime-associated guys, bartender ladies with silly glasses who hire out assassins, an assassin girl, a...shark lady? It's a lot. And again, I'm not sure if the incoherence is intentional, or I'm just too slow to follow what's going on here. Having finished the first run of episodes I can say this: -It's not exactly dull, even if it doesn't make a ton of sense (...yet) -I did finish watching all of the episodes, which is saying something since I'm perfectly happy to drop shows that aren't working for me Ultimately your enjoyment may come down to patience and faith. If you're willing to wade through these first murky, complicated episodes maybe it'll all pay off down the line (that's the part where faith comes in). Otherwise, I'd only recommend this for: -Fans of Durarara! -Fans of reverse isekais that aren't especially interested in being a reverse isekai -Fans of silly, French-adjacent antagonists who do magic tricks -Fans of girls with unhealthy shark obsessions

The best description that I can give Dead Mount Death Play is that it's an entertaining & frustrating staircase. No single step is dedicated to providing answers or conclusions to significant questions, mysteries or events, instead each step adds to or is a new mystery, question, character, plot, conflict, lore, or piece of fan service. The world building is great but there's little to no payoff outside of 1-2 episodes & at the end of the day it’s the prologue to an actual story. It features an ensemble cast and while there is a clear protagonist, most characters steal the show by receiving significant screen time exploring their interconnected stories while the protagonist ruminates & stagnates for arbitrary reasons. All 12 episodes (and later 24) are basically a world building prologue setting up the protagonist and the ensemble cast for stories that (may) never come. The animation is good with decent use of 3D visuals although fight scenes distractingly warp reality & perspective. The characters CAN be fun & interesting with the Cops & Solitaire being a highlight but the human power system & abilities are either awkwardly addressed or not at all. On that note while there is conflict and combat, there is never significant consequences or finality, emphasised in its lacklustre 12th episode of the first cour. While I find that Dead Mount Death Play has issues & was frustrating as the episodes continued, it remained entertaining and the mysteries were intriguing even if they lacked endings & answers. I think those who enjoy Isekai will get something out of the show but be aware it's more focussed on Character connections & Mystery than power fantasy. It's also best to binge watch as the amount of characters, storylines, interactions, minor hints & explanations etc. can leave you confused and overwhelmed if you take a decent break between episodes.

The first four episodes are weird in their exposition and it made it hard to get in to. I normally watch anime while I’m working so it was fine to have on in the background. BUT it wasn’t until episode 5 that I actually cared about the story. I don’t like how many open holes there are and how the story seems to be juggling like nine storylines at once. It’s just doing too much. I’m going to finish it of course, but still. The Corpse God doesn’t seem to have himself together, Polka is a one-note caricature, Zaki has no depth. The art is great. There’s just too much going on at once. And my original review was much shorter but MAL is weird.

English. An anime that although I thought it would be generic surprised me a lot, it tells us what an isekai would be but in reverse, that is, a person from the marine world travels to a land without magic. It shocked me the first time I saw it because I wasn't expecting it at all, I thought it would be more different or something more generic specifically. In that aspect, the truth is that it is worth highlighting, but as we delved deeper into the story, I was a little disappointed, it is a story that does not know where it wants to go or does not have any apparent purpose. They tell us that the protagonist wanted to live a peaceful second life and although he wants to achieve it, some things happen that prevent this from happening, such as new enemies and bad people in this world. The story is based more on solving the life of the body where the protagonist is, his problems and everything bad that happened to him in his life, here they try to put a problem of a group that tries to kill them but I am not very interested Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good anime but for me the story didn't grab me. If I would recommend it, I think so, it is a pretty good and innovative proposal that more than one person will like, the only but... is that the story reaches a point where I started to get bored (it's something more subjective). Español. Un anime que aunque pensé que seria genérico me sorprendió bastante, este nos relata lo que seria un isekai pero a la inversa, es decir una persona del mundo marino viaja a una tierra sin magia. Me impacto la primera vez que lo vi porque no me lo esperaba para nada, pensé que seria mas diferente o algo mas genérico en especifico. En ese aspecto la verdad si es para destacar pero ya metiéndonos mas a profundidad a la historia me decepciono un poco, es una historia que no sabe a donde quiere ir o no tiene algún propósito aparente. Nos dicen que el protagonista quizo vivir una segunda vida tranquila y aunque lo quiere lograr suceden algunas cosas que impiden que así suceda, como nuevos enemigos y personas malas en este mundo. Se basa mas la historia a resolver la vida del cuerpo en donde esta el protagonista, sus problemáticas y todo lo malo que le paso en su vida, aquí tratan de poner una problemática de un grupo que trata de asesinarlos pero a mi no me intereso mucho, no me mal interpreten creo que es un buen anime pero parea mi la historia no me atrapo. Si la recomendaría creo que si, es una propuesta bastante buena e innovadora que a mas de uno le va a gustar, el único pero… es que llega a un punto la historia en que me empece a aburrir (es algo mas subjetivo).

I came because I was interested in the crazy girl. Then I stayed because of Iwanome x Arase. Now I'm going to read the manga because my fudan's soul says Shagrua has a thing for Corpse God. The story is well suited for those who like suspense and multiple plots and mysteries like durarara (which I'm crazy about). Also their VAs are god tier!!! The way the author directs this story jumps around so prepare your brain memory more haha. YUP like durarara!!! where even though it's only in a small town the author discusses all the conflicts that occur and all the characters will meet each other by questioning many things (I don't mind it tho). The girl I talked about first will be considered as a non romance interest so the MC will remain free sailer~

--- original lenguage: Portuguese --- --- additona lenguage: English --- English: Honestly I see a lot of potential in this anime, elements of action and investigation and with that added humor, very light even, which makes it very relaxed. Isn't the anime anything exaggerated, minus the "problematic" ones, because apparently "humans" do almost impossible things? Anyway, it doesn't present anything very innovative in the anime market, but this investigative touch caught my attention. The protagonist comes very close to what would be for me the "ideal Protagonist", not very charismatic, with a bad past and the best of all: "overpower" I'm honestly looking forward to a sequel, Anime 8/10 until deserved. PT - BR: Sinceramente eu vejo muito potencial nesse anime, elementos de ação e investigação e com aquele acrescimento de humor, bem leve mesmo, o que torna ele bem descontraído. O anime não é nada exagerado, menos os "problemáticos", porque aparentemente "humanos" fazem coisas quase impossíveis? enfim, não apresenta nada muito inovador no mercado de anime, mas, esse toque investigativo me chamou a atenção. O protagonista se aproxima bastante do que seria para mim o "Protagonista ideal", não muito carismático, com um passado ruim e o melhor de todos: "overpower" Sinceramente estou ansioso por uma continuação, Anime 8/10 até que merecido.

Guys listen i am up to date with its manga and its a banger. The story gets goes deep and a lot of interesting characters will be introduced later in the series and each of them will be having a lot of screentime. It has a lot of twists, betrayal and mystry to it. I enjoyed Durarara and its kinda same but it gets more serious later in chapters, the reverse isekai thing at first was kinda a drawback but it adds a lot of interesting characters and helps further development in the series. I will highly recommend you guys reading the manga coz its has some of the coolest manga panel ive ever seen.

A reverse Isekai with a non-standard MC and a non-standard story? Am I dreaming? Animation / Art / General Visuals - 8/10 ----------------------------------------------- Pretty good across the board. Art is nice and clean, animation isn't anything special, but is totally serviceable. Bonus points for some rather cute and funny comedic faces. Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 8/10 ------------------------------------------ Solid across the board. OP and ED are very nice for my ears. Story - 8/10 ------------- The story is surprisingly good. It's a reverse isekai - meaning someone from the fantasy world re-incarnates into our world. That alone gets high marks as it's surprisingly uncommon. Furthermore, the story threads together contemporary businesses, assassin guilds, serial criminals, border-line supernatural, with the actual supernatural, AND the fantasy world itself, though we're only teased with snippets of those connections in this Part 1 of the show. In addition, it nicely blurs the line between good and evil, the criminal, the supernatural. It keeps you on your toes because most of the time it's hard to tell which is which. The show blends genres between fantasy and contemporary, adult and childish, serious and comedy, mystery and slice of life. A bit of everything. Characters - 8/10 --------------------- The cast is good. Our MC is a 100 year old childish super-necromancer who ends up re-incarnating as a teenage boy in our contemporary world, with only limited knowledge of what's what. Which leads to quite the culture shock and adjustment period, which is fun to watch. We also explore his notably in-depth backstory which will probably be continued to get explored further in part 2. There's plenty to uncover it seems. He's smart, though a bit clueless due to his circumstances. His personality ranges from Lord of the Dead, to "I want to build orphanages", which is honestly very interesting. Secondary characters are all quite cool as well. There's a murderous, assassin woman, who's a few fries short of a happy meal. There's a skiddish hacker man. Overly sexual assassin group leader. Delinquent police special officers, powerful crime and business family members. Super-criminals who blur the line between the natural and supernatural and many more. I must say, it's quite rare but nobody rubs me the wrong way in the entire cast. Enjoyable. --- Total - 8/10 --- This reverse isekai is surprisingly good if you just relax and let it take you for a ride. Many of the pieces are still falling into place, but part 1 of this series has been quite pleasing.
