    This fanart is a cross-over between Frieren, and Dungeon Meshi, and this is the community of the latter. Both series center on a party of characters featuring an elven mage in a fantasy setting that has dungeons and mimics.

    Both series are very good. If you like Sousou no Frieren, chances are you’ll like this one, too.

    Marcille, the other elf, is a very different character. Unlike Frieren, she is very affectionate, and forms close relationships effortlessly. Though it’s only barely become relevant in the anime, the fact that she will outlive the shorter-lived people she loves, eventually also becomes a central element of the plot (having read the manga).

    The latest episode featured a nightmare sequence that revealed she carries a deep trauma, because as a child, she watched someone very important to her age to death before she even began puberty. Unlike most elves, it turns out she didn’t grow up among other elves.

        It is Netflix exclusive. Episodes are coming out each thursday, we are up to 19 out of 24.

        The 24 episodes will get the anime to roughly halfway, at the current rate that the anime is adapting chapters. The manga is complete, and though it is not announced, everything points to a second season finishing up the adaptation in the future.

            Or you could read the manga.

            Personally I think this one story is worth jumping through every hoop one might imagine.

            I hold it above all other manga, and with how stellar the adaptation has been, I can’t imagine it won’t soon be true for the anime as well.
