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.
It’s a classic episode!
Heading down to the sixth level now, the gang is back to their everyday shenanigans.
Running into trouble and cooking it for dinner.
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.
I think the story needed this episode. Since the confrontation with the red dragon the story has been at times tense, depressing, or melancholy. I think having an episode that gets the group chemistry back in sync is great. We got a chance to lighten the mood and laugh at everybody else’s mental images of each other.
I did notice that the new character’s hand was the one that grabbed Marcy’s during the blizzard, however, since Marcy couldn’t see anything, she probably thinks it was a shapeshifter. Actually, that raises the question of where the shapeshifter versions of the newcomer are. Perhaps there wasn’t a strong enough mental image that they all shared of each other to be included?
Looking forward to the new companion! She must be fairly skilled to avoid being detected until now despite the party’s abilities (and Chilchuck’s ears). Also, it seems like we have lost the blood trail at this point after all the shapeshifter nonsense, so the only way is into the maze of the 6th floor at this point.
Having lost Shuro the gang really needs a DPS, I sure hope this person is good in combat.
We’re about to see some chapters I’ve been really looking forward to, adapted. We won’t just learn about the new member. Now that the world and characters have been established, it’s time to use these characters and their environment for some damn good storytelling and feels.
