Gemusetto, split into two separate cours named Gemusetto: Machu Picchu and Gemusetto: Death Beat(s) respectively, is an Adult Swim anthology series by Max Simonet of FishCenter Live and Bloodfeast fame that first aired on April Fool's Day 2019, airing the whole first season in 6 hours, and has been referenced in every April Fool's prank since, (the 2020 April Fools prank aired the first minute or so of Gemusetto: Death Beats, and the 2021 prank, being Adult Swim Jr. had a commercial for Gemusetto: Machu Preschool, which sadly never actually aired.) It is an Affectionate Parody of anime and Japanese Media Tropes tropes seen in other Japanese works, being created by an open fan of the medium.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series focuses on Makasu, a narcissistic thief who steals magical artifacts from ancient gods and goddesses. He does this through the medium of sports, and has collected a large amount of artifacts in his Magical Back Pocket Dimension, organized by his Magical Back Pocket Dimension Flying Bear. Trying to get the secret treasure of South America, he has to defeat every Incan God by tennis, and is aided by the God Of Tennis due to the fact that Makasu is deeply, deeply afraid of tennis. These two, with a series of other quirky side characters, will go on a massive journey to get the treasure of South America! While this happens, Interpol agent Bendy Rivers chases down Makasu through heaven and hell, trying to arrest him for his thievery.As mentioned above, the show is anthology esque, with season 2 having a completely different plot and character list than season 1. Season 2's plot hinges entirely on a massive spoiler at the end of Season 1, so Spoil at Your Own Risk.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The show also has an online game called Gemusetto: Machu Skichu, created by Max himself. It can be found hereThe character sheet is under construction.

Calvinball: While tennis seems to be a standard game in most people's lives, in this show they tend to list off random rules completely made up for the show, that every character somehow understands, making it a much different game than it is in real life.

The Cameo: Tons if you know a lot about Adult Swim. Nearly every member of Wham City has cameoed, Tom Green played Viracocha, creator god. Dave Bonawits, Tina Loranger, and Andrew Choe, who were all members of the streaming show Max is most known for, Fish Center Live, all appear at least once. Cameron Grant, an editor for h3h3productions plays Urcuchillay.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: In the season finale, it's revealed that Makasu's absentee biological father did come back on the day of Makasu's graduation. His father killed all of the people that he believed were going to exploit Makasu's genetic legacy and otherwise keep him from living his life freely. However, this backfired spectacularly, because he got so pissed off that he decided to become The Aloner and start fighting deities in sports battles in a quest for validation.

Overly Long Gag
 Gemusetto / int_a188ac4b
comment
Overly Long Gag: With the shorter episode length of Death Beats, it's less regular there, but this is still a major source of comedy for the show. Nearly every episode in the first season has one joke that is purposefully dragged on too long just to make it uncomfortable. [adult swim]'s use of this show as a gag to open their annual April Fools prank every year since 2019 also counts.
