| '''''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 <em>So This is Basically...</em> and <em>Welcome to...</em> series under the username JelloApocalypse. The show is a loose adaptation of Brendan's Roll20 Tabletop RPG campaign <em>Anime Campaign</em>, 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.

| == Plot ==
| |
| In the world of [[Sweet Jazz City]] a lucky few are born with powers attached to their very souls known as "[[Epithet|Epithets]]". An Epithet stems from a single word that can grant its user any kind of power. Words like "Fire", "[[Arnold Markdown|Coupon]]"... or "[[Giovanni Potage|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 City Museum|Sweet Jazz Museum]]... [[Banzai Blasters|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 Blyndeff|Molly]] is trapped in the middle of it all. Will her epithet, "Dumb" be enough to save her? Or will her epithet be... erased?

| |
| === Concept and Creation ===
| |
| The concept of "epithets" were originally introduced in Brendan's Roll20 Tabletop RPG campaign <em>Anime Campaign</em>, 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 ===
| |
| [[Brendan Blaber|Brendan]] began drafting the script for Epithet Erased as early as Fall of 2018, and pitched it to VRV in October of the same year. Official production is estimated to have begun sometime between March and May of 2019, where the series was developed and produced up until the airing of episode 7 on VRV, on December 20th, 2019.

| == Trivia ==
| |
| * While the series was in production, [[Brendan Blaber]] referred to the series by the pseudonym "Sugar Cookie Jazz," as he was unable to reveal the actual name due to being under a non-disclosure agreement. <ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/185193111277/i-am-so-hyped-for-sugar-cookie-jazz-itll-be-so</ref>
| |
| ** The earliest public mention of the series using this name was in a post on Brendan's social media advertising for show artists to be hired. <ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/185160557172/calling-all-artists-illustrators-and-character</ref>
| |
| *There is a possibility for an Indiegogo opening for Season 2 onward.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189847768887/is-the-possibility-of-opening-an-indigogo-or</ref>
| |
| *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.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189847745827/so-how-does-someone-figure-out-exactly-what-their</ref>
| |
| *At least one character that is planned will discover their epithet mid-series.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189847745827/so-how-does-someone-figure-out-exactly-what-their</ref>
| |
| *At least one character that we have met so far has unlocked their epithet using an Epitome.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189847745827/so-how-does-someone-figure-out-exactly-what-their</ref>
| |
| *Plasterbrain, the show's music composer, has released the soundtrack for season 1 on her [https://plasterbrain.bandcamp.com/album/epithet-erased-season-1-ost bandcamp] and [https://soundcloud.com/plasterbrain/sets/epithet-erased-season-1-ost soundcloud] pages.
| |
| *Each character has their epithet chosen by a randomizer except for Zora. <ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190090832532/hey-quick-q-on-your-characters-when-picking-their</ref>
| |
| *There could be plans for a Third Season. <ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190090771062/will-any-non-binary-characters-be-showing-up</ref>
| |
| *Brendan had to remake all of the characters' stats from scratch due to the old system not having any science sense. <ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190468694187/how-would-you-compute-your-stats-from-ac-to-ee-is</ref>
