Synopsis

Polka Shinoyama's life takes a dramatic turn after being forced to use his magical powers in public. His divination cabinet attracts the attention of several people hellbent on exposing his true nature as the reincarnation of Corpse God, a necromancer from the Other World. To make matters worse, Polka and his friends are framed for the murder of one of their protector's employees.

When group member Takumi Kuruya is abducted by his former boss, Kuon Higuro, Polka sends his most trustworthy ally Misaki Sakimiya to their friend's rescue. It turns out that some of the recent incidents the group finds themselves caught up in are interconnected, and Polka needs to be twice as careful if he wants to make it out alive from this maze of pitfalls.

Dead Mount Death Play - 2 split-part adaptations, up to 4 interspersed events all happening at the same time, leading to one gigantic Shinjuku war that defies the logic of both worlds. Has Ryohgo Narita done the near-impossible to prove that he still has the writing skills from his past works?

Back in Spring, the 1st Cour / Part 1 of the acclaimed mangaka's new work didn't really do it for me, and I wasn't convinced that Ryohgo Narita had his writing prowess taken from Durarara!! and injecting that same soul into Dead Mount Death Play, which at that point in time was a massive clusterfish ... of events sprawling here and there that proved too much for those who can't follow up on what's going on, yours truly included. Well, after yet another 12-episode romp in the form of the 2nd Cour / Part 2 of the anime, I can safely say that I'm fully caught up to date on everything that exacerbates the situations and circumstances that may be worlds apart, but the outcome is one final "Clash of the Lords" between the Corpse God and the Bastard Children of Sabaramond, the battle that should've taken place in their own world, moved to Earth in Shinjuku for all to see. What a riot!

Come to think of it, Ryohgo Narita is a genius at trying to manage several storylines and making them just as relevant to the main story, with the intricate details meticulously planned out to the point that it doesn't confuse the reading or watching experience for manga readers and anime watchers. This is what sold Dead Mount Death Play as a compelling work in the first place, from the manga now into the anime. Even though at times it can feel like you're still watching Part 1, with all the Q&As answered, you'll get a better idea of what the various groups are all fighting for:
- The Corpse God with Vampire Queen Misaki, Takumi, and their key character, Polka Shinoyama, that's directly linked to the Shinoyama family;
- The police force of Tsubaki Iwanome and Arase Kozaburou identify the sequence of events with Phantom Solitaire joker Ten'a Sorimura, who has joined the array with the Fire-Breathing Bug;
- The various families that have a matter of feud between each other: the Agakuras and the Heilei;
- The Bastard Children of Sabaramond, who have finally arrived on Earth to ciphon out their leader and take over the new world, whose feud with the Corpse God to either preserve or destroy the world has massive consequences on Earth.

Trust me, the character cast in Dead Mount Death Play (if just by counting alone) is insane, but not one character gets a mere side-mention as everyone is, in one way or another, vital to the main plot, which speaks to the mangaka's prowess when it comes to tight story and character integration.

For Part 2, just about the only change to the staff roster is having a newbie director by the name of Yoshihiro Satsuma take over the directoral reigns from series director Manabu Ono, which, in comparison to the anime, doesn't really affect any of the anime's aesthetics at all. I feel that this move is done to relieve the latter due to his directorial, scriptwriting, and series composition roles, which can put a lot of pressure on someone with these many vital roles in the anime's production, and in the same way, tutor the new director as well. An effective way to "kill two birds with one stone". Nothing has changed much in the way of animation as well; it looks consistent from Part 1 as far as I can tell. Part 2's OST is decent as well, with both Inori Minase and Yuuma Uchida's OP and ED songs. I just feel that Part 1 delivered a better OST.

Overall, Dead Mount Death Play has been one of the most batshit, insane series that I have seen for quite a while. And although it has taken both parts of 24 episodes' worth to flesh out its story and multiple plot elements, the payoff reward is just as big as the amount of time spent tuning into the anime to understand where the story needs to go to achieve Nirvana.

All I can say now is that Dead Mount Death Play is not a fluke; it's a work of complexity that delivers in its own right.

Mixed Feelings

It's nearly impossible for me NOT to compare this to DuRaRaRa!! (previous Naritaverse series), so I won't try.
I really love this series, but I'd like to say upfront, i think if you have to pick between watching the anime or reading the manga - read the manga. The anime didn't really add anything, or improve on the base at all, and I felt some of the animation was pretty rough and felt rushed-out. The voice acting was fine, but nothing on the level of DuRaRaRa!! (which has one of the best ensemble casts in basically anything). I don't think anyone in Deathplay really stood out ...

Dead Mount Death Play Part 2 is a mess. The beginning of the anime comes out strong, carrying much of the suspense and mystery from the previous season, but after a certain point, it all dries up. The interesting and well-paced plot from the first season feels rushed in the second, leaving many plot points resolved off-screen and others unresolved completely. The ending is particularly unsatisfying, lacking a significant reveal or explanation, and instead offering a mediocre conclusion that hints at a possible continuation. The animation and visuals are on par with the previous season, but the characters are worse. Many characters are underutilized, only ...
