Dead Mount Death Play

A powerful necromancer known as the Corpse God dies during a legendary battle, only to be reborn as Polka Shinoyama, a young boy in modern-day Tokyo. In the process of trying to adapt to his new physical body, he gets targeted by various groups that deal with the supernatural. Among them is Misaki Sakimiya, a high school girl who can see spirits and is out for his blood from the very moment they meet.

Attempting to make sense of this situation where unknown parties want him dead, Polka eventually meets Takumi Kuruya, a contractor skilled in surveillance and hacking, and Lisa Kuraki, a crime boss operating out of Shinjuku. Alongside these—and other unexpected—allies, Polka braves danger to reveal the truth of his reincarnation and the fate awaiting the world he now lives in.

At first look the anime isn't much different than some of the generic Isekai I've watched but it changes really quickly. The story is not something to write home about either. Every episode seems to just ravel things up except for a few ones. The story is different however, it's a good way to take a break from all the "trashy Isekai" that tends to follow the same kinda plot. The ending was a lil bit rushed as well. But there's already a second season so I'm not complaining.

Over all the anime is different from the generic Isekais out there and provides a different taste ... and view to this unique genre. Personally I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10 let's see what the second has in store for us. As for the animations it's not bad but not ground breaking either. It's what you expect for a good experience.

I would suggest this anime to those people who love to watch Isekai but they don't like the same kinda stories. Even if they do this will certainly provide a different perspective for sure..

Mixed Feelings

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.

Not Recommended

Part 1 of Dead Mount Death Play serves no purpose as a story.

The first episode hooks you in with this idea that something interesting might occur, but it never does.

The antagonistic forces do not feel like threats.

The Detectives that investigate supernatural situations and people? No more than a suggested inconvenience.

The aforementioned supernatural people? Handwaved in story as not being supernatural at all despite them showing off clearly supernatural abilities.

... The person who originally ordered Polka's assassination in the first place? Don't worry about it.

This show whispers fun and interesting ideas into your ear with no pay off or satisfying conclusion. It only hopes you'll stick around for its unnecessary fanservice randomly sprinkled in so you forget what it promised you narratively.

It gets a 4 out of 10 from me because it had some interesting ideas, but if I'm being honest with myself it deserves a 1 out of 10 for wasting my time.

Don't waste your time hoping for more out of this show outside of the first episode.

This show is the generic store brand plain seltzer of anime.
