Dead Mount Death Play (Season 1)

Dead Mount Death Play (2023) is a dark-fantasy anime you can watch online on iFILM. A dreaded necromancer known as the Corpse God loses his final battle to a legendary hero — and dodges death at the last instant with reincarnation magic.

He wakes up as a teenager named Polka Shinoyama in present-day Tokyo. The sorcerer who spent ages waging war in a fantasy realm now lives among skyscrapers, yakuza and contract killers, and honestly finds this world a relief after all that fighting. His past won't stay buried, though: the hero who struck him down seems to have followed him over. Expect urban fantasy with action, pitch-black humor, and a strangely likable villain holding the lead role.

It's adapted from the manga by Ryohgo Narita, creator of Baccano! and Durarara!!, and that signature mix of the occult, crime and dry wit runs all the way through. Best for anyone who likes stories where the "villain" turns out far more interesting than any hero. Stream Dead Mount Death Play online on iFILM.
