Gloutons & Dragons

What started as a light watch and silly anime really expanded into a gripping and fun show! I love that they release it weekly because I look forward to it. I love every second of it. The relationship development is super interesting, the cooking theme is cute and really clever, and the writing is great- so many funny bits with great comical timing. The show surprised me with the darker overarching storyline which develops over the season and I've found the pacing and development to be a little confusing but also engaging and it leaves me wanting more. I love the primary cast but the secondary characters have surprised me with their quality additions to the story and plot. It's kind of a trust the process start which pans out well.

This is based of a manga by the same name which has been completed in Japanese as of this review. While it may start a bit slow, it is VERY worth sticking around for.

Per the manga, the characters have fun interactions, the world isn't as simple as it seems, and the plot gets twisty. It has a constant forward progression yet retains the spirit a food centric anime. It's very well balanced in all these and the pacing may be a little more slow than normal for anime, but there is no dawdling, that's replaced by character development. Honestly, I think it's just worth it for the characters alone and the comedy is solid.

I really hope Trigger does right by this through the end (hoping we get that far) and so far they have delivered.

I would say the manga is a 10/10 while the anime id 9/10 because the animation quality kinda varies here and then. Some might like it but for me it was such a jarring transition especially when they do it in one episode.

I did started this series from watching the anime. It didnt interest me at first until like episode 2 and then I started reading the manga.

I have to give my highest praise to the mangaka. I dont think I ever saw another series that put so much work and detail on their lore, character designs, and world designs. The mangaka really knows what she's doing and it truly shown in the manga (and the anime since they follow the manga pretty closely).

The anime has become one of the things I look for every week. I just wish they would have animated the extra mondter tidbit from the manga too and put it in as an extra. It would be an added joy to watch.

I genuinely really like this show. Is it dumb? Yes. It is slowly becoming a comfort show for me. I genuinely like anime about food/cooking and this show is basically that mixed with d&d.

The premise is a group of adventurers set off to rescue a party member who has got "trapped" in the dungeon but they have no money or resources for food other than a book of recipes for cooking monsters.

They respawn? It's not really very clear to be honest and it doesn't have to be, it's fun and that's all that matters. If you want a show that looks pretty, you don't really have to pay attention to it and is funny look no further.

It's nice looking, music is good and the English dub is actually pretty good. I am usually a sub over dub guy but the dead pan of the main guy hooked me.

I hope this gets loads of episodes as it's slowly becoming a favourite for me.

It was great, very amusing. I appreciate the attention to detail with both the cooking and explanations of the dungeon's ecosystem.

I did not read the manga, so I had no expectations about how characters should sound. So, while "some people" complained about the English voice acting I didn't have any problems with it, my perspective is that those people are overly sensitive. The target of said criticism was a female dwarf character who sounds a bit manly; but it could be artistic interpretation of what a female dwarf sounds like. Those people should stop crying over trivial nonsense and grow up.
