Dungeon Meshi

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.

I love this show, I'm genuinely excited to watch it every Thursday! It's got me leaning forward during the fight scenes and they are such a sweet group that and they make meals I'm jealous of! It's such a fun genuinely good show. They really do a good job of (figuratively) thinking on their feet they surprise me time and again, and I usually am good at guessing the "path" the characters are going to take. At first the characters come off a little whiney but character growth is solid and maybe makes you a little proud lol as much as you can be a for a fictional character. I recommend this show to everyone!!

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.

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.

DunMeshi has an unusual concept, but the worldbuilding is so well done that It grows on you. In a dungeon the characters usually worry more about defeating monsters, but in this story they realistically have to worry about food, water, carrying weight, and other aspects of daily life. The animation is beautiful and the food actually looks yummy even if it is made from monster parts.

If you enjoy thinking about the ecosystem of an universe, I bet you will enjoy this show. Senshi is one of my favorite characters because he understands the importance of each being, from big to small, and shares his knowledge and wonder with the other characters. A great hit for TTRPG fans, for sure.
