[email protected] has been a huge success. And the monthly active user-count suggests there’s plenty room for subscriber growth still.
Now that the season is over, I suspect the people who don’t watch shows weekly will start joining, too. And season 2 will be even more great as then the community will already be around and have a user-base.
Dungeon Meshi, or Delicious in Dungeon, is a renowned manga series by Ryoko Kui, and my personal favourite of all time.
The first half of an anime adaptation by Studio Trigger (of Kill la Kill and Cyberpunk Edgerunners fame) just wrapped.
It’s about a party of adventurers that lose one of their members deep in a dungeon, right before using a return spell to get all but that one member back to the surface to safety.
Having lost most of their gear, provisions and all of their funds, they resort to the taboo of eating the monsters they kill as they delve back into the dungeon to retrieve the remains of their lost companion, so they might revive her.
The entire story takes place within just this one dungeon, and is a masterclass in extreme-detail world building and lore. The same goes for the characters.
The series starts off at a slow burn, masquerading as a comedy with unusually intricate worldbuilding, but slowly develops into a phenomenal fantasy story that dives deep into its characters.
Interesting. That sounds very interesting and up my partner and I’s alley. Is the anime adaptation well done then I’m assuming? Is it worth delving into both?
Thanks for the information. We were looking for another anime to start watching!
The adaptation is fantastic. It even elevates some parts beyond what is possible in manga, taking full advantage of the way animation, sound and music allow for more complex expression of a narrative.
The manga is also great, and worth experiencing. Having read it in no way ruined the anime for me.
The story is so insanely full of details that even if you don’t get into both manga and anime, whichever medium you prefer is worth watching/reading twice, just because you notice and put together new things on a second go.
Aha thank you for such succinct answers 😃, we will be checking out the anime soon. We love double watching things because you really do often see a lot of the nuance that goes into it! Especially when it’s very well built like this sounds to be! I’ll definitely also check the manga myself!
It would be an age of anime content, because I’m going nowhere.
What! I applaud your effort in promoting Dungeon Menshi in literally every instance.

Can’t wait.
To continue the conversation and at risk of being converted to another fandom, what is this? O.o?
