I want to strangle everyone involved with the Death Play anime

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 1:42 PM anime

starting with the writer

polu Dec 11, 2023 3:24 PM anime

Writer got praise for being able to handle a large cast of characters with Durarara and Baccano, he thinks he can continue large cast with Dead Mount Death Play.

polu Dec 11, 2023 3:24 PM anime

completely fucks it up

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:30 PM anime

the mangas completely fine

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:30 PM anime

not sure how much the anime fucks it up

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:30 PM anime

but he's completly able to handle a large amount of characters in the manga

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:30 PM anime

same with Strange Fake, works completely fine there

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:30 PM anime

IMO the medium of anime doesn't lend itself well to his works anyways

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:37 PM anime

Unless the DMDP manga got a lot better as it went

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:37 PM anime

what I read (~30 chapters) made me feel like he'd regressed

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:39 PM anime

its much simpler

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:40 PM anime

its not like baccano or durarara where the characters are more intersting, its more just two slight mysterys then factions brawling

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:43 PM anime

I think he reversed what worked, he gave every character far too much complexity, and then wanted to tell a very simple (honestly pointless) story with them

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:44 PM anime

Baccano and durrarra had a lot of one-note characters, that got their depth from their relation to other characters

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:45 PM anime

which I guess Dead Play has too sometimes

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:45 PM anime

most of his stories he tries to avoid one-note characters now

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:45 PM anime

even late baccano falls into that

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

is the DMDP manga finished?

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

no

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

far from it

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

fuck

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

it releases in volumes

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

FUCK

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

baccano still hasnt had a volume in like 8 years spooky

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:46 PM anime

I like the style of story, I loved his previous works, but I'm so ready to just be done with it all

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:47 PM anime

DRRR was "finished" even though the sequel series

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:47 PM anime

is the DMDP manga finished?

what id argue is the first MAJOR arc also finished only recently and it answered/solved basically nothing

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:49 PM anime

lol

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:49 PM anime

its probably got like another 200 chapters in it at this rate

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:49 PM anime

maybe 100

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:49 PM anime

10 more years

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

speaking of

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

baccano could of been done at like volume 15

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

one of my og series finally ended

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

but its at 22 with no end in sight anymore

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

Noragami had it's "last" chapter come out

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

now it's just the final epilogue this month

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

noragami had been winding up to "end" for like

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:50 PM anime

40 chapters though

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:51 PM anime

with the final battle

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:51 PM anime

there were like 3 fakeout endings

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:51 PM anime

but now it's actually over

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:51 PM anime

Replying to taxes #tzfi

but its at 22 with no end in sight anymore

strange fake also had like 8 volumes where not a single character had actually died, only "fake out deaths"

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:52 PM anime

when character deaths are suppoused to advance how close the story is to ending

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:52 PM anime

because fate/holy grail war

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:52 PM anime

"this character died, but actually no they didnt"

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:52 PM anime

narita refuses to let anything end

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:53 PM anime

I mean, FGO is kind of the same rn too

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:53 PM anime

its "done" they just had to add 4 filler chapters to tie up the 50 lose ends they created getting to this point

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:53 PM anime

its not like strange fake where there's actually zero progression in any capacity

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:54 PM anime

yeah fair,

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:54 PM anime

the goal of a holygrailwar/reaching the end is everyone dying or the servants dying, and in FSF basically no one has died

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:54 PM anime

the story chapters were the goal of FGO and theyre done with those there was just extra filler to tie up loose ends

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:55 PM anime

dead mount death play introduces two mysterys in the first half and solves 1.5 of them and just creates more questions and random factions within 100 chapters

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:55 PM anime

is the anime 1 or two cours

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:55 PM anime

on its 2nd

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:55 PM anime

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:55 PM anime

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:55 PM anime

it's gotten very far

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:56 PM anime

they've blitzed through all the random factions being added

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:56 PM anime

have they revealed how the fire breathing bug works yet

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:56 PM anime

and there is just not enough time to have anyone do anything every week at this point

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:57 PM anime

yes

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:57 PM anime

ok then its pretty far

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:57 PM anime

I'd guess it's 60+ chapters in

taxes Dec 11, 2023 3:57 PM anime

fire breathing bug mechanics reveal is very late in

Spooky Phijkchu Dec 11, 2023 3:58 PM anime
