The show is a loose adaptation of Brendan's Roll20 Tabletop RPG campaign Anime Campaign, it's produced in a Limited Animation style similar to Brendan's aforementioned web-series—excluding a few fully-animated sequences such as the opening, which are produced by Powerhouse Animation Studios—with numerous RPG elements stylistically sprinkled in.

The series is stated to be broken up into multiple story arcs, each spotlighting different members of its gradually increasing cast while tying into a larger plot. The first episode premiered on VRV on November 8, 2019, with subsequent episodes premiering every Friday. Episodes were also made available on Brendan's YouTube channel: JelloApocalypse two weeks after their premiere on VRV. VRV and Crunchyroll merged on May 8, 2023 and Epithet Erased was not included in their new library, leaving JelloApocalypse the only place to watch the series.

A Franchise would spawn from this series, from Episode Commentary Tracks, several songs, and Comic Dubs, among other things to it's sequel novels, starting with Epithet Erased: Prison of Plastic, which was funded via Kickstarter. Season 1 is also being adapted into novels.

Synopsis[edit | edit source]

Season 1[edit | edit source]

In the world of Sweet Jazz City a lucky few are born with powers attached to their very souls known as "Epithets". An Epithet stems from a single word that can grant its user any kind of power. Words like "Fire", "Coupon", ...or "Soup". A magical artifact known as the "Arsene Amulet" is rumored to be able to steal an epithet from a person, and they say it’s hidden somewhere in the Sweet Jazz Museum... Suddenly, thieves burst down the doors in the middle of the night! Inscribed warriors do battle in the dark of the abandoned exhibits! Dinosaur bones come toppling to the floor! And a little girl named Molly is stuck in the middle of it all. Will her epithet, "Dumb," be enough to save her? Or will her epithet be... erased?
