You'all seem kind of slow getting a new Mafia game going, so I thought I'd take it upon myself. With a Bleach Mafia! I've got a few idea's I've been playing around with, the main one being that, when an innocent or mafia member dies, I flip a coin. If its heads, they are a shinigami, and may chose one person to slay from the edge of death. (Or mysteriously save from a mafia member if you so chose.)
The roll of Mafia will not be all cliche and served by hollows, they'll just have tommi guns like all mafia. If you have have idea's or suggestions, feel free to PM me, I especially like any messy deaths you'll have in your sick heads. I will write colorfully, but without turning any of your stomachs. I'll try to make it as funny as possible, though I sort of doubt PG. (Lets go with PG-13 or the like.)
Approval? Hatred? Feel free to give me karma or shout me down into the depths of hell. Though be advised that with the latter, comes my return, followed by Gil and my army of n008 31337 5p34k with which I will drive you all insane!

Hmmm... I'd say if going with a unified theme, like Bleach, it's best to go whole hog into the proceedings. Of course, going whole hog into Pokemon is leaded to the most massive ammount of rules since Mafia III, though in a much better way (289 different possible roles, IIRC)... So your mileage may vary.
So what I'm saying is that I'm not sure about a Bleach theme. Some is fairly cut and paste (Doctor goes Squad 4, for example), while there's other ideas that would be begging to be used (A power that makes a Mafia member show up as the one that was killed by the Mafia, but disables voting in town until they reveal themselves.) Not to mention the concept of two-layers-of-death (Life, Spirit, Dead-Dead), which would TOTALLY shift some strategies.
Really, it could be interesting, or an overcomplicated mire. It all comes down to judgement calls on it.
Lee's Gut Instinct: Run a small, ten person Mafia game. Possibly Bleach, or the Horror theme you mentioned long ago (both have room for the post-death attack you mentioned.) My game is scheduled to run tentatively in Mid-March (Probably the 19th, a week after the anniversary.), so if you can wrap yours up by February 20th or so, it'd be dandy.
One last tip: Randomness and Mafia have issues together. Sometimes it works (Thief, Pandora's Box) and other times, it just kills the game (Role switching... Oy.)

Ok, didn't notice the idea until now. Sorry to be grave-digging, but anyway.
IMO Prime has a good idea going here (especially with the multi-layered deaths), but... considering the number of roles available, we would need a LARGE group of people playing in order to really test it out.
