Dead Mount Death Play OP 「Nero」 by Sou. https://youtu.be/QGmvHbxsxME

[weepingfireflies]

DMDP is pretty good so far, but nothing in the show can compare to Sorimura Tena... He's everything I've ever wanted to be....

[madnessatdawn]

Escaped from police custody right in front of them.

Stole art to relocate it for the views.

Made a government building "disappear."

Kidnapped the Japanese Prime Minister and then left him at a manga cafe.

This man is a menace and I love him.

[booty-uprooter]

tena sorimura is the best fictional character. everything he does is the funniest goddamn thing, he's always having the absolute best time, and never has more than the vaguest clue what the hell is going on. truly the epitome of 'fake it till you make it'

Tena Sorimura/Phantom Solitaire - Deadmount Deathplay

Propaganda:

A criminal/ show man that has for goal to find real magic in this world. Theatrical and always find himself failing his way to succeess somehow, truly fake it till you make it. He once kidnapped the prime minister of Japan, but this one turns out to be perfectly fine and just wake up in a manga Cafe? His first crime was to steal a painting from a museum, only to keep it in pristine condition and leave it in front of a studio in Shinjuku to "give the youtuber there something to talk about". Given that as phantom solitaire, his profession apart from magician/show man IS basically a youtuber (he has a charnel solitaire tv) I find that very funny. I realize I made this propagande more to say why he's cringe than baby girl, but it's because he's a girl failure that he's my cringe fail baby girl

Other Additions:

I love him

Narita is having a busy week.

He was interviewed by animate Times about Dead Mount Death Play [DMDP] (pub. April 19);

He was interviewed for Volume 9 of *squints* 『(ほぼ)月刊サメ映画』(”(Almost) Monthly Shark Movie”...or something like that?), which is a (possibly one-man produced?) shark movie specialty magazine! The Volume was published this month, so okay, probably he wasn’t interviewed this past week. He was tweeting about it, though.

Or...was? Its website says that Volume 9 will be the final volume shipped? Wait, no, it looks like there’s going to be some sort of Volume 10 with a revised structure, or something along those lines? Anyway the Editor-in-Chief is also President of “Japan Shark Film Society.

(Reminder that Pandora Shark is set in the Naritaverse. Narita published a new PS novel on March 29 I just bought an e-copy; I hadn’t realized that the PS content he was promoting was a full novel. It’s the “ultimate B-grade shark novel” according to the tagline.)

He tweeted the other day that he’s kicking off a serialized gaiden novel about Phantom Solitaire (set three years before the story start. That’s when Solitaire came on the Shinjuku scene). I can’t tell if the manga chapters themselves are going to be affected (delayed) at all by this? 

Then there’s all the general busy work that comes with having an airing anime adaptation. He’s been promoting DMDP steadily on Twitter (while reminding people to check out Ch.5 of the Baccano! ~in the 1700s~ manga), tweeting a flurry of DMDP trivia per episode, etc.

Why, in the interim, he might even be a little busy working! Which, hey, he is. DMDP Volume 11, which is releasing on the 25th, has a special edition with bonus bonus content he’s written. There’s the DMDP gaiden novel and the manga itself, of course. A Blu-Ray of DMDP Episodes 1–12 is projected for September so, if it has any bonus content at all, maybe Narita’s writing something for that, too.

We can’t forget that the Fate/strange fake TV special will air in July��not that we really could, since F/sf is Narita’s most popular thing going on)—so it’s not impossible that Narita might be expected to have some bonus / special content at the ready...

[cryct]

personally, I think tumblr would really appreciate solitaire as a character. he does crime for the fun of it. he's a menace but he's never hurt anybody. he has the fantasy of a middle schooler wanting magical powers. he gets out of near-death situations with supernatural killers by lying out of his ass and throwing confetti around. he operates on a looney tunes rule where he gets to survive the day because it's funnier that way.

Good news: I spent today creating pages for the rest of the DMDP chapters on the wiki (Chs14-23)--and in this case “creating pages” most certainly included full summaries--meaning that the wiki now has pages for all chapters currently released! What do you mean they just released Ch24 in Japan.

Bad news: I spent today creating pages. From 10 AM to 7:45 PM, if one goes by the timestamps in the Recent Changes log. I don’t...think some people realize just how time-intensive editing wikis is, and it’s all the more time-consuming when you’re pretty much the only one contributing to a wiki (even worse when you’re pretty much the only regular contributor for multiple wikis, except ‘regular’ is stretching it since you’re inevitably not giving the wikis equal attention).

This needed to be done so I’m ultimately glad to have done it...but boy if it doesn’t make me think of all the time future edits of the DMDP Wiki are going to take. And the Baccano! Wiki. And the Vamp! Wiki, and the Etsusa Bridge wiki...

Holy: Hyperfocus, Batman. Man. Whadda superpower. Chalk it up to the ADD meds, the cup of coffee, or both, but me spending like 10 hours of constant wiki-editing is ehhhhh an unusual example wherein I take a break and am not distracted for multiple hours on end.

Mildly Irritating News: Despite Lei Xiaoyu introducing himeslf as “Lei Xiaoyu” per the Yen Press translation...I’m pretty sure ‘Xiaoyu’ must be his given name since he’s from the Lei Clan and people were referring to him as “Xiaoyu” more often than not.

I say despite because I foolishly assumed at the time that Yen Press had written out his name with the “given name - family name” order, since usually in this manga characters are referred to as such... but then again, the reason I had trouble figuring out Tena Sorimura’s name order is because Yen Press wrote his name out as “Sorimura Tena” at his introduction (later using Tena Sorimura).

What I’m saying is, maybe I shouldn’t confidently assume there’s consistency/a 100% stuck to standard in this translation and prepare to have further similar instances down the line... haha...ha...

So I’m probably going to have to rename Lei Xiaoyu’s page to “Xiaoyu Lei” unless I see a good reason not to within the hour. ...And change every article to refer to him as Xiaoyu rather than Lei. Joy. At least he’s only been in the manga for four chapters...
