So far, seems promising as hell.
If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. It’s about a party of dungeon adventurers. They unfortunately get killed, and all but one of them successfully revives. Out of money and food, and with some party members leaving. The heroes decide to venture back into the dungeon to save their lost companion, surviving by eating the monsters they kill.
Hilarity, but also a fantastic story and good character development, ensues.
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader. Suffice to say if the adaptation stays at this level, we are in for quite a ride.
I enjoyed the first episode, so I’ll keep watching. The art style is interesting.
The whole thing makes me think of Campfire Cooking, or that 1 episode of “How a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom,” where they do the gem cast with the slime recipe.
The formula of the show has been laid out, so now I’m curious how their journey goes.
You can say that again. Trigger usually has super distinctive style, but it’s almost completely gone in favor of very closely matching the style of the manga. Trigger movement is still around, but details like the “pencil” style line-art was kinda jarring with how noticeable it was, at first.
