I'm a simple girl. I see Epithet Erased, I click. Including the kickstarter lol I ended up getting the last Giovanni doll. I don't regret that choice at all.

This was a fantastic analysis of Epithet Erased. Thank you for putting the time and effort in to analyzing this amazing show. It kept me fully engaged the entire time. I look forward to seeing you grow!

In my opinion, epithet erased is one of those things in media, which works better because of the limitations put in place, allowing there to be better and more creative ideas. Mixed with Jello’s great writing and comedy, Epithet erased is able to pull off these ideas and work from the constraints by crafting a intriguing world with amazing characters, which makes you relate to it just because of its simplicity and you can tell with each frame and movement of the characters that love was poured into it

As someone who can recite the entire script from watching the series over 81 times. (No joke) I can say that it’s my favorite show of all time. My first watch through was such a fun experience. And every time I watched it again I noticed something different. 52/10.

Plasterbrain and Or3o and everyone else did such a wonderful job on the soundtrack it's so lovely!

Giovanni and molly are basically big brother and little sister which is cute.

It took me about an episode before the writing and voice acting overtook the animation in my brain. A point came where the stilted cutouts kind of disappeared and became part Manga, part gaming campaign, both of which were comfortable and easily digested. Honestly, the art style is beautiful but the real stars are the voice actors. Hell, I thought the voice work and direction bested many big studio shows.

Alright, I almost NEVER watch analysis videos because... er... people don't know how to write scripts. But I gave this one a chance, and the video editing at 2:34 convinced me to watch all the way through (very much appreciated syncing Giovanni's smacks to the beat)! It's nice to see good visual editing and music underlay on a video like this, especially considering its length. The biggest advice I'd give (if you care to hear it) is to work on the narration and mic. There are places where the narrator audibly slurs or even pops consonants- and I'm not usually super attentive to that kind of stuff, so it's quite noticeable. The mic itself isn't as easy to fix, because obviously super high-quality ones are expensive, but it's definitely jarring when you cut from your own narration to the show (such as at 10:57). Anything you can do to reduce background noise would help. Finally, while the script is great, there are a few minor nitpicky things (grammatical errors, run-ons, etc.) that could possibly be fixed with an editor. I don't know if you have a second pair of eyes for your scripts yet, but if not, it wouldn't be bad to get one! Sorry for the essay-length comment; I appreciated this content to fill the EE-shaped hole in my heart :)

To those who have seen anime campaign (and, i guess; those who haven't). The exhibits in thd museum are a reference to the Songstress! With a portrait of her and the original Phoenica, aswell as an exhibit for a dread otomatone!

Ugh I've pitched this series to So many people and so fare noone has gotten into it 😭

The fact that as soon as the song said “die” Giovanni almost fucking kills

My favourite epithet erased song is still ride the glass skyrail, that shit goes so hard!

i love the less animated look, cause it doesn't really make me feel obligated to go and watch the actual screen and you can more just listen to it in the bg while popping in once n a while. Especially since I can't really watch it at the same time as drawing unless it were on my phone, so I like that you can kinda just listen along while popping in once n awhile

I think I've seen EE too much. With every clip shown, I was able to quote the scene word for word, including when it would fade out and what new sentence faded in... But it's good, so I'll just watch it again to make sure I'm remembering right!

Oh my lord. I never realized that epithets powers were based on interpretation of words. Giovanni isn't just a dork that managed to make his power useful. His power is useful BECAUSE he's a dork--

I love epithet erased and I like the simplistic animation

I got into Epithet Erased shortly after the first episode was uploaded to youtube, I was subbed to Jello for other reasons so it was recommended to me when it was new, I had time so figured I'd take a look & fell in love immediately. When the second episode came out, I was too excited & just couldn't hold it in so this small group I'm in on Discord, I told them about it because we're all fans of animation, RPs, & I know a few people in there likes to support independent creators so I figured this was right up their alley & I needed someone to talk to about this. One of them has a large pile of videos she watches & tends to put things in order depending on mood & how long she's been putting it off so I didn't expect her to get to it so soon but surprisingly, she did. All of us loved it & one even watched ahead on VRV so in order to not get spoiled, I did so as well. We'd wait until everyone had seen the latest episode & talk about it as soon as possible with each other, was a fun time. The accidental spoiler spilled from the person who saw ahead on VRV caused the rule to wait for the youtube release. This is a series I quickly recommend to anyone looking to watch something new or something I'll throw on when I have guests over & need a time filler. One time in particular was when only the museum arc was out on youtube by that point & I had a friend over, we were just hanging out & I decided to throw what was out of Epithet Erased on the TV & she absolutely loved it. She's a fan of art & supporting smaller creators & has a close friend who feels the same so she decided to watch it again with that friend. It's one of those things where if you can get past the animation & acknowledge that they did what they could with what they had, you can very much find joy in it & she did agree with me that this form of stilted animation actually worked well with the series like it's something that's hard to pull off but they managed it & as beautiful as it looks animated, I'm happy with what the style ended up being in the end, it gives the little bits of animation more power & those scenes stick with you much more. On the topic of it being quotable, um if there was a drinking game for how many times my GM & I shouted "BARRIER!" Just don't, you'd be plastered. I'm unsure if you can call it a mistake but I did indeed show this to my GM. We have this thing we do, we've known each other ever since 2013, I introduced him to his current wife, it's a whole thing so it's not unusual for us to do stuff outside of games. Anyways, about every other week, we meet to watch series each other has brought to the table like he did Demon Slayer & I did Squid Game when we first started but he was super into Squid Game so we quickly got through that & I needed another show so I went with Epithet Erased & at first, he was weirded out by it. I actually tried to get him watching it much sooner like around late 2019-ish because I was hanging out at his place & he mentioned he had a game the next day & he was excited about it, it was supposed to be a museum heist & I'm like, you really should watch Epithet Erased before running that, you'll see why so I showed him the opening song & he just wasn't interested so fast forward to a few years later & we watch it together, by the second episode, he was hooked. In the current game we're doing, it's a modern day fantasy & everyone in it are cops, actually there's a lawful good character in the party who handcuffed my character's wrist to his because mine did break the law (long story) & he was going to take him in for questioning but we had to deal with combat, these guys wanted my character dead so my mind kept flashing back to Perci & Ramsey through the whole thing. Trying my best to stay on topic, my character like part way through the game had a run in with a goddess & long story short, became an acolyte which like wasn't at all what I had in mind, we were told our characters were on vacation & we got to do whatever & I told him I wanted an Indiana Jones style adventure for some cool ancient weapon since everyone in the party had a signature weapon & mine just used his police gear so yeah, he somehow equated it to what it ended up being. Already, I did heavily do a lot of support so now with using divine, the whole thing of putting up shields became commonplace so whenever I rolled to use a shield, I'd shout "BARRIER!" Then the GM & I would laugh & go "My name is Periwinkle Puppypaws & my epithet is BARRIER!" He's a gnome by the way. The rest of the party would be confused & one of them did catch on, at one point she said "yeah, I know, I really should watch Epithet Erased." Oh yeah, I also tend to slip in a lot of Epithet Erased gifs into chat, I started doing that long before my GM saw Epithet Erased like when there was a bar fight & characters drew shotguns from who knows where, I shared a gif of the cat with the gun & one of my favorites, my character usually tries to charm to get what he wants but during a point, he was super low emotionally, he was grilled by a party member for all the mistakes & whatnot he's made so he was upset & they were in a literal ghost town, the ghosts were serving seawater at the bar which like he couldn't even try to get drunk so he was even more upset & some guys start stirring up some trouble which he had zero patience for & pushed in to try & threaten them which like is something he never does like I don't think I ever had to try & make a coercion roll before because it's just not his style but he had enough with everything going on & seeing these people being rude to everyone pushed him over the edge. Of course, it didn't pan out because adorable little gnome. See where I'm going with this? Shared the Molly "rawr" in the chat because that's about how threatening he was. I'm unsure but I do believe by this point, we might of got the whole party to cave & watch Epithet Erased but I never asked so I don't know. They didn't say anything when I made like two barrier jokes in the last session. All in all, this series has brought in some fantastic memories for me & probably will continue to do so given I never get tired of showing it around. I also shared it with a friend I play the Pokemon TCG with, we were waiting for a mini con to start, we were like an hour early so while waiting for the doors to open, we watched some of the series & yeah, we played some Pokemon during the con, he had an annoying deck too with a GX move that heavily minimized damage taken to his Pokemon I think it was, it's been probably 3-ish years by this point so I don't fully recall his deck but I do remember him flipping his GX token & saying "My name is Indus Tarbella & my epithet is BARRIER!" & I was so ticked at him because I was playing a deck meant to stack up power & dish it out, I don't think I had a way to get around that.

MAN, This was such a great and well-build video essay! Thanks for the analysis of this great show!

If you don’t get big after putting this much effort into each video, I’m gonna be pissed

This was incredible! Keep up the great work!

I think prison of plastics audio book is honestly the most perfect form of the show. Yes you lose on the character art and everything that I loved of the first season, but the book truly unlocked what they managed to do in the first before, it was already almost like a book, and they mentioned in some things that they pulled back a bit on it as they continued further into the episodes. But prison of plastic utilizes it perfectly. And managed to keep the same music, and amazing voice cast. A cheaper epithet that makes the same warm and fuzzy feelings watching it did as well. I can't wait for book 3

I'd like to praise the limited animation, actually. They still managed to make the character portraits extremely expressive! You can be surprised at what the right kind of movement and squash-n-stretch can do.

What an amazing video detailing everything I love about this series, fantastic job!

Really good video. Epithet erased is so funny and I can't wait for the book.

This is amazing my dude and it intriduced me to your channel

Great commentary. Fun to watch

This video is so good (also im proud to be your 637th sub i can tell you will go far)

you were able to put my lo r for this show into words and i cannot thank you enough

well done, wonderfully made ma' dude 👍👍

Thanks for this recommendation, I'm going to be real with you I didn't even watch your video yet I just saw 1 minute of it and then searched it up on KZfaq so I can watch it before I get spoilers. At first I didn't really like it too much cause I didn't like the style that there wasn't animation but it was instead sprites. But I didn't mind it too much since I liked anime visual novel games which are basically the same thing, so I ended up getting used to it and it was entertaining. I like the characters and think they're super likeable, I have 2.5 more episodes to finish until I'm done, so I'll watch the rest of the episodes and your video tomorrow! Thanks

This video was so nice to watch man

WOW, this is a great review. You’ve got my sub

I've seen your avatar but for the life of me I cannot remember where.... great video tho!

1:35 wtf is that that looks incredible!

I'm your thousandth subcriber. so uh thaats cool

A decent way to explain this series to someone in a very simplified my would be to say something like "It's kind of like 'My Hero Academia' but with elements closer to that of Table-Top RPGs instead of Superhero Comic Books", at least That way it has a chance of getting skeptical people more interested in it.

Well now I need to rewatch again just to listen to the music hahah

no i was deadass so surprised that this only had like 20 something comments

All i hope is for the book to be more like the museum arch and less like the redwood run arch

Oh I quite love epithet erased

another oneshot fan :3c

Ramsey is more like the straight man of this comedic duo of His is with Percy

Moving sprites > proper animation

Anime Campaign is on KZfaq through a 3rd party

you said the amulet at some point got into the possession of the blue ocean, but i watched all 7 episodes and it never did? also some clips i never saw in the show.

Trust me I would give money to them if I had it

Ok you actually sound like Brenden Blaber what the heck. Just like a less enthusiastic version of him.

I’d be curious to see your take on P.M. Seymour’s Cosmic Wonders series! Cosmic wonders is still just a pilot at the moment, but it already feels like a soulless knockoff of Epithet, and I haven’t heard enough people talk about how bad it is. Plus, a critical analysis video might be what the creator needs to get over themself and actually listen to criticism

epiteht erased is good the stiff style deosnt matter but i love the real ass sword part
