For centuries, sixteen castles have acted as seals to otherworldly monster dimensions, preventing their horrors from spilling into reality. When these monsters escape, they manifest as natural disasters—earthquakes, plagues, massacres, and worse. To keep them at bay, elite warriors and raiders with supernatural abilities fight back each time a portal opens.

Fifteen castles have accepted the help of governments and organizations, except one—the Kanagawa Castle. The secretive Kanagawa family has always fought "their monsters" alone. But when they unexpectedly call for help, the world listens.

Among those chosen to document the event is Kaede, a nobody—an awkward, cowardly school journalist assigned to follow the powerful Sun Jia, a top-tier raider and his long-time crush. But when they enter Kanagawa’s portal, everything goes wrong.

Two doors open instead of one—an anomaly. Sun Jia and the team enter what appears to be the safer path. But inside, they face a nightmare beyond comprehension—the domain of Shiniyuku Shinigami, the Dying Death God.

Reality collapses. The raiders don’t just die—they feel their deaths transcending time, erased from existence before they can even react. Kaede, the weakest among them, experiences his own death differently—shorter, but far more agonizing. Shiniyuku, intrigued by his insignificance, spares him, mocking his cowardice.

Kaede wakes up two years later, the only survivor of the disaster. The world has changed—door hunting is now a global industry, and the Kanagawa family has become more powerful than ever. But something inside him has changed too. A power is growing, something unnatural.

Determined to uncover the truth behind Kanagawa, Akihiko’s true intentions, and the identity of the enigmatic Knight X, Kaede embarks on a journey—not as a hero, but as a man seeking redemption. But as he grows stronger, a terrifying truth emerges...

Kaede is no longer just a survivor.

He is becoming something else entirely.

Something that should never exist in reality.

A Thousand Death System - The Death Paradigm

1. Dead, Dead Gone : Expedian 1.0 (4-5 episodes max)

The Expedian 1.0—a rusting relic of a once-elite starfighter—now barely functions as a cargo hauler, captained by Zana Haw Jr., a reckless pilot with big dreams, bigger debts, and an unfortunate habit of breaking into song at the worst possible moments. Her ragtag crew is as dysfunctional as the ship itself: Onions, the stoic muscle who despises all things musical; Vernon Troppo, a self-proclaimed wizard whose magic is as questionable as his morals; Lady Geiren, a hot-headed strategist with secrets of her own; and Lopoea, the calm, telepathic navigator who somehow keeps this chaos afloat.

When a shady alien offers a job too lucrative to pass up—a simple cargo run to the volatile planet Zusk—the crew jumps at the chance. But in a galaxy where nothing is ever that simple, this gig might just be the one that finally pushes the Expedian past its breaking point.

Between cursed luck, galactic threats, and a captain who insists every crisis deserves a theme song, survival is anything but guaranteed.

A wild, darkly comedic space adventure packed with mystery, chaos, and the absurdity of singing your way through certain doom.

2. Saturday Nights with the kaimori

Kagurazaka is a town that forgets its own ghosts—until Saturday night.

Ren Kuroda, a broke journalist chasing whispers of urban legends, stumbles into Kagurazaka, hoping for a headline and a paycheck. Instead, he finds the Kaimori Castle Mansion—a crumbling estate with locked doors that hum in the dark and a family that carries secrets heavier than time.

Offered a job out of desperation, Ren becomes entangled in the Kaimori family's strange rituals. Every Saturday, as night falls, the mansion shifts, ancient portals stir, and something… monstrous tries to break through.

But there's something off about Ren. The creatures know it. The family suspects it. And when his dog becomes a vessel for something not entirely human, the line between outsider and heir begins to blur.

In a town where doors don't stay closed and some monsters remember your name, Ren will have to decide if he's here to tell the story—or if he's been part of it all along.

Because in Kagurazaka, Saturday nights don't end until something's been sealed… or something slips through.
