Epithet Erased

Epithet Erased is an animated web series produced by Brendan Blaber based on Anime Campaign, a tabletop RPG that was streamed on Twitch. The first season aired on VRV, then was also uploaded to Jello's YouTube channel in 2019. The author has also announced that he's planning on continuing the next segments of the story in novel format.
==Canon==
The first season consists of seven episodes divided into two parts, the Museum Arc and the Western Arc. The name of the seventh episode, All's Well That Ends Well is dedicated to a fanmade animatic of a scene from the original Anime Campaign source material. All's Well that Ends Well (Anime Campaign Animated), January 16, 2019.
Jello has also held a cast reunion panel for Youmacon 2020 Epithet Erased Cast Reunion Panel, November 1st, 2020. on his Twitch channel. The panel consisted of a Q&A and two tabletop reads, one for an Among Us sketch and an exclusive story called Two-loween (aka the Halloween Special). Though the scripts are written by the creator of the series and the characters are played by the original voice actors, the panel reads are not considered canon to the Epithet Erased timeline. On the other hand, the characters interact the way they would in the canonical universe.
