Revision as of 04:45, 11 February 2020

Epithet Erased (sometimes referred to as just "Epithet" or "Epithet: Erased") is an ensemble comedy/adventure cartoon series created in partnership between VRV and Brendan Blaber, creator of the So This is Basically... and Welcome to... series under the username JelloApocalypse. 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 are also made available on Brendan's YouTube channel two weeks after their premiere on VRV.

Plot

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... 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 trapped in the middle of it all. Will her epithet, "Dumb" be enough to save her? Or will her epithet be... erased?

Development

Concept and Creation

The concept of "epithets" were originally introduced in Brendan's Roll20 Tabletop RPG campaign Anime Campaign, and since he liked the concept so much, he decided to carry over many of the elements and characters to Epithet Erased with slight changes.

Production

Trivia

The original series' name was going to be Sugar Cookie Jazz^[1].
There is a possibility for an Indiegogo opening for Season 2 onward.^[2]
Epithet’s world doesn’t speak English. It speaks a sort of magic Esperanto-type language that combined all the languages that used to exist in the Epithet world into one, so there are way more words than just for one language.^[3]
At least one character that is planned will discover their epithet mid-series.^[4]
At least one character that we have met so far has unlocked their epithet using an Epitome.^[5]
Plasterbrain will eventually release the entire Epithet Erased OST.^[6]
Each character has their epithet chosen by a randomizer except for Zora. ^[7]
There could be plans for a Third Season. ^[8]
Brendan had to remake all of the characters' stats from scratch due to the old system not having any science sense. ^[9]
