The project first began in early 2012 when editor and creator of the series, CTAkutabi, came across an AMV by longtime friend Billytheafroman, featuring the song Dead Man by band We As Human set to visuals of Deadman Wonderland. With no other basis than the feeling that clips from the AMV would "look good" in the opening to an Abridged, CT began scripting on a possible parody series of the show. The initial writing process took several months of re-scripting, suffering numerous re-writes until the project finally kicked off.
