Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
The party is now on the third level of the dungeon, and we see the first multi-chapter mini-arc from the manga adapted into single episode. Laios and his party have to get past a room full of magical, moving, hostile suits of armor. How will they pull it off? What will they learn about this monster?
Laios very much wants to know, what living suits of armor taste like. The rest of the gang is pretty sure they’re just normal metal with a spell cast upon them. But are they?
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.
Not just that, in this episode Laios gets to show off a lot of charachter. (And Senshi swings that axe around like an absolute chad.) We get to see parts of these charachters other series would trim, like Marcilles dream last episode, and Laios childhood with Farlyn in this episode. Small tidbits that will add up over time.
And it is so refreshing to have lead characters that are competent without being Mary Sues. Instead of fighting the horde of armors he slides the shield with the egg past them to shift their attention away from his party. Laios is intelligent and pragmatic, despite being a total weirdo in-universe.
