Dungeon Meshi

I find this series enjoyable. It reminds me for some reason of childhood. The plot is not very serious and heavy and the humor is blended well. I think I enjoy the pacing the most, nothing is rushed and you really take time to know the characters. The characters by the way are a pleasure to watch how they interact with each other, with the environment, and how they behave with their main and side quests.

It's also great how they left enough space to further develop the world with intrigues all around, which even if they don't address I wouldn't mind, as the plot is already good enough.

All in all this is a nice series to watch as a filler series that doesn't feel heavy on you.

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.

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 was quite skeptical at the beginning of the first episode, but it immediately dragged me in. The show is nonchalant, weird in a good way and genuinely made me laugh more than a couple times.

It has really good and entertaining moments of cooking process itself with detailed recipes. Most recipes themselves have quite real analogies with real life ones, thus making some parts of the show somewhat insightful and inspiring.

Yes, it may sound stupid, but this show made we want to cook better and more often. I already had genuine interest in it and succeeded in a few dishes, but it definitely helped with my motivation.

Overall great, easy to watch and entertaining show. 9/10.

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.
