Sayo is such a strange character imo, seems like the type that no one can really read and seems very withdrawn towards people. Having her stay at Polka's place makes everything seems just weirder.

It was tough seeing some of the segments about Lei and what he went through. It was a slower paced episode with a mixture of comedic and darker moments. We got some bath fan service this time too.

The police are investigating the shinomiya family especially polka so the corpse god has a lot of problems on his plate.

Lmao I loved the scene with Xiaoyu.
The gang is in some real trouble, I wonder what will they do (and if they will actually read their fortunes lol). Excited for next week!

Damn xiaoyu backstory was really messed up. Imagine using your own son like that! The lei’s were insane. Polka’s dad again showing how kind of a person he is by stepping in and adopting Xiaoyu.

Police on their trail, “magician” dude and the fire bug still out there. Things are heating up here

Polka and crew have some new housemates. His niece Sayo and her bodyguard Xiaoyu. It was funny at first since Sayo is so depressed over all her shark memorabilia went up in flames. Shrinking into that giant shark sleeping bag plushie. Xiaoyu is definitely the more interesting of the two new housemates, even if Sayo is funny in her deadpan way and banter with Misaki. Xiaoyu backstory of being in a clam of assassins but taken in by Rozan after a job went bad leaving Xiaoyu a quadriplegic. I forgot we did see a commercial for their company's prosthetic limbs and robots before but now that makes even more sense with Xiaoyu having fully gotten prosthetics. Him listening to them talk through I suppose a microphone but Xiaoyu placed in the main office. It got really funny when they were talking about Polka previous world but since Xiaoyu didn't have that context it just sounded like a video game or manga. That made me laugh since it absolutely did sound like that.. Xiaoyu seems very loyal to Rozan so I hope he doesn't try to take down Polka since Rozan trusts this new Polka. Iwanome and Arase showing up to get their fortunes read I did think would happen but definitely not as an episode cliffhanger right away. These cops are getting smarter, we see them piecing together what's going on more and more. I'm excited to see how Polka reads their fortune.

If you want uncensored version then read manga chapter 5 and chapter 22. They are already adapted so there won't be any problem even if you read them.

Gotta love the person thinking they are acting for another's benefit when in reality it is for their own selfishness. Xiaoyu was clearly never a real servant or retainer of Rozan's in spirit, at least. He always believed his own opinions were more correct than his master's

I didn't know shark sleeping bags were a thing, cool. Rozan wants to keep an eye on Polka so that is why he sent both Sayo and Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu's backstory is kind of sad but it sounded like he was a hitman and ended up becoming a quadriplegic.

Lisa making a fanservice-type appearance (nice), and the 2 cops wanting to get their fortunes told, I'm curious how that will turn out.

Rozan so far seems like a nice guy. That boy though is pretty retarded, trying to kill Rozan's son cause he's a weakling. The police with the random clues making up random stuff. Need more Misaki chan, she looks pretty in that outfit.

Another great episode. "It sounds like skeletons dancing" - cuts to skeletons dancing lol.

I like Lei a lot. I'd seen the character on manga covers and in the opening of course, but I thought they were a girl. 

When Sayo first arrived last week, I honestly thought she was going to ask to have her soul put inside the shark sleeping bag or something. I bet she'd want to be how the current Polka is!

They really do balance the darker elements with lighter tones and moods, especially with Polka and Misaki. This episode did an outstanding job with it imo

I guess the assassin this episode is the small kid who don't trust Corpse God (which is quite logical), I like the multi layer story with all of the groups of people comploting things, the writing is still very neat, and that cliff hanger at the end makes me excited for next episode !
I like everything, ok

8 episodes in and Dead Mount Death Play has been the sleeper hit of the season (for me). I only decided to follow it because its original creator made other works that I adore and based on how the story here is shaping up, I'm gonna enjoy this one too. So far, there's been nothing overly crazy, but it's the kind of anime where every episode builds on the previous whilst developing plot points. It is laid back and doesn't attempt to take itself seriously, but still knows how to ramp up the intensity in serious moments. Animation and visuals are pretty decent, and the OP is catchy. The huge cast and character references (quite similar to DRRR in that regard!) is also a plus for me and the only negative about this show is that we're only going getting 12 episodes (for now).

Why would I spend my time watching shows I don't like? πŸ’’

Sayo comes in to invade on Polka's living quarters, barring with her boy bodyguard Lei Xiaoyu as her qualifier. Both Takumi and Misaki were taken aback by her arrival...which Sayo's infatuated by all things shark, aside from Rozan's house being monitored by the police, so it's against advisory that Polka return to the main family house. Takeru's the closest that the police will ever get in any information about the Fire-Breathing Bug, though he will not divulge any sensitive information. And though the Shinoyama group has been under attack for quite awhile, Tsubaki is down to blow the case wide open.

On the Shinoyamas' side, it's Lei Xiaoyu who will do the dirty work for Rozan exposing Polka as a ting-hu, a garden pot of a broken tool sold to Rozan while exchanging for his life. The otaku talk definitely was a distraction to see through Lei, and the next time he deals with him, it's with his Heilei a.k.a Black Thunder blood. Of course, the Phantom Solitaire Ten'a Sorimura will take his chances being flashy in public, and he's having fun too.

Tsubaki's return to Polka's place...what is he up to this time?

The dad talking about how they use children to cultivate their poisons and Rozan basically saying "come on, don't do that to your son" but I'm over here going "how about you don't do that to any children, holy shit?"

Also, the can-can with skeletons was great! It's one of those things you'd think to do if you had these powers in real life (maybe not the first thing, but it's definitely up there).
