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.
Episodes are available to stream on Netflix.
The cast grows by 5! Namari is back, for a short while at least… While Marcille isn’t too hot on seeing her again, it’s clear Namari isn’t as callous about leaving the party as Marcy might suspect.
Again, we learn many new details about the world, the Tansus are real experts on the dungeon and they share some tidbits on what makes the place so different to the outside world. Though both them and their adopted twins tend to look down on “normal” adventurers.
Marcille cooks up a stew, new relationships are formed over a meal, and an old friendship gets repaired.
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.
Marcille is actually a lot more educated than she lets on. Being an elf she’s had time to hit the books for decades, before finally going into the field for real. But she has a lack of confidence in what she’s learned from literature, which started when she met Falin.
That’s why she’s so naive, yet knowledgeable, at the same time. She’s had time to read up, but not to gain confidence in applying all that she knows. But she knows a lot. Way more than Falin, despite Falin being the more skilled mage.
The difference between Marcy and the Tansus is likely just that she hasn’t spent 150 years on her own research yet.
