DMDP Anime: Episode 1 available

Episode 1: Reincarnation of the Dead Mount Death Play anime is available to watch on Crunchyroll here. I attempted to skim through it but was overcome by sheer embarrassment, which I’m going to have to get over if I am to write an episode article on the DMDP Wiki. It’s just... The start of DMDP is full-blown teenage edge material, the type aimed at teenage boys and not the adult woman demographic (that’s me, who is part of the Narita demographic), and it’s obvious even from skimming that the anime amplifies the edge and the fanservice because of course it does. Ack. Save me. For now, I’ve put up a spoiler-safe FAQ for wiki newcomers and added boards / categories for Forum / Discussions. My basic Manual of Style draft needs work still, but I should try to get something up for it soon. Still undecided on how to title the Episode articles, but I’m leaning toward simple Episode 1, Episode 2...titles that don’t include the episode title itself.

What does tickle me is that the top review (of six) on Crunchyroll’s DMDP hub linked earlier isn’t a review; it’s user Joshay12 sharing the “actual synopsis as once again, Crunchyroll has a stupid one.”

You know what “actual synopsis” they’ve copied? The one I wrote for the home page of the DMDP Wiki, haha. I’m sort of indirectly flattered.

Yeah, can’t fault CR for not borrowing a synopsis some rando wrote for free on some wiki. Ha. Hoo.

It sure is odd to encounter one’s own writing (or blog linked) in the wild.
