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 [[OverlyLongName 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 SpoilAtYourOwnRisk.

''Gemusetto'', split into two seasons named ''Gemusetto: Machu Picchu'' and ''Gemusetto: Death Beats'' respectively, is an Creator/AdultSwim show by Max Simonet of Fish Center Live and Bloodfeast fame that first aired on April Fool's Day 2019, airing the first season in it's whole 4 hours, and has been referenced in every April Fool's prank since, (the 2020 April Fools prank aired the first couple of seconds 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 AffectionateParody of anime and JapaneseMediaTropes tropes seen in other Japanese works, being created by an open fan of the medium.
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 [[OverlyLongName 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.
The show is anthology esque, with season 2 having a completely different plot and character list than season 1. Sadly, Season 2's plot hinges entirely on a massive spoiler at the end of Season 1, so if you haven't watched Season 1 yet, the season 2 trope list will contain spoilers.

[[folder:Tropes used in both seasons]]
* CerebusSyndrome: Season 2 is a lot darker and plot driven than Season 1, and in Season 1 alone the show turned from a quirky anime parody to [[spoiler: revealing that Tennis God was lying the whole time, and tricking Makasu to sacrifice him to the sun, in a genuinely heartwrenching final moment, killing off not only Makasu, but the adorable Magical Back Pocket Dimension Flying Bear]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Nearly every character on this show.
* DerangedAnimation: Especially in Season 1, but Death Beats also contains a near constant switching of art styles, from 2D to 3D to live action to sock puppets - it's all there.
* NoFourthWall: The show is regularly improvised, and near constantly references the audience, has clips in real life, etc, etc.
* OverlyLongGag: 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.
* SurrealHumor: And how!
** Also delves into SurrealHorror at times, especially [[spoiler: after Makasu gets sacrificed at the end of Season 1.]]

* BitingTheHandHumor:
-->'''Maxime Simonet:''' Special thanks to Vietnam, I mean-- not Vietnam, the Venture Bros., which took a break on production, a long hiatus, to make sure we could execute this project, which has so far cost $4 million, and as you see, with this graphic on the screen,
-->Max shows a graphic on screen that says $4,000,000 dollars and is literally rising into the air and not actually upping it's number.
-->'''Maxime Simonet:''' The number keeps going up!
* {{Bookends}}: The first lines and last lines of the series are the same, if you don't count the live action commercial parody bit.
* 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.
* CannotTellAJoke: Oh, Chair Umpire. She's always slightly messing up and redoing her lines, and every joke she tries to make ends up funnier because of the way she delivers them awkwardly.
* ParodyCommercial: Inbetween every episode, an advertisement for Gemusetto Toys air. No kid would ever want to buy them.
* StylisticSuck: Machu Picchu's artstyle looks like it was drawn in MS Paint in 2 weeks, and regularly switches up artstyles and levels of detail.
* [[spoiler: SuddenDownerEnding: Makasu gets sacrificed into the sun after a huge betrayal.]]

[[folder:Tropes exclusive to Death Beats]]
* ArtShiftedSequel: Death Beats looks a lot cleaner than Machu Picchu, and seems more like a low budget flash cartoon than anything.
