  • Dungeon Meshi, also known as Delicious in Dungeon, is one the best the Spring 2024 anime season has to offer, except it aired during the Winter 2024 anime season, so Dungeon Meshi is anime of the year, is a better description. Marcielle is the anime girl taking over Twitter and the internet, so it's no surprise that the anime is so huge in popularity, but it's for good reason because it's one of the BEST fantasy manga/anime in the medium alongside Frieren. Laios really helps to sell this, but it's the GOAT Senshi who takes home the gold with his dwarf fanservice.

    The first half of the story makes you believe Dungeon Meshi is about cooking.
    The second half makes you realise its actually really about EATING. From something civilized and comfy, to a base act that is instinctive and primal.

      I'm anime only (atm) but considering that they're eating for survival (instead of pure cuisine) and they're still thinking about what is "acceptable to eat" and is sometimes hidden in a gag, it seems like it's just a matter of time before either survival becomes priority (serious tone) or something very dark will be hidden within a humor.

      Marc was selfish, that’s part of her development.

All the characters are like this, which is a good thing because it makes them flawed and feel more human.

      Exactly the kind of thing that I found jarring. I get that it's trying to emulate the randomness of D&D but honestly, that they used the painting thing in such a big way later on almost felt.... cheap? How is it that no other adventurer before Laios has gone into the painting, ever? If the mad mage created the dungeon, would they not be exactly aware of how the damn paintings work, and thus know Laios literally just stumbled into the main plot? I don't know, it's a great show, but I would not call the writing it's strong point.

      ​@@Clovericious I dont think it's ever mentioned that only laios party stumbled on those paintings. It's even mentioned that majority of adventurers sucked into paintings tend to die from starvation or madness. And the dungeon lord did notice laios stumbled in those paintings that's why he's pissed. Tbh I view living paintings as nothing but creative way to make a flashback to flesh out the lore and the characters. Other media tend to just tell not show backstories or overuse the blur to flashback like in frieren. But I find dungeon meshi more creative with it by maximizing their fantasy setting like the nightmare clams, living paintings, kabru basically solving long winded autobiography, magical lion showing your desires, etc

      ​​​@@Clovericiousas for how the lunatic magician doesn't know about the paintings. Because the dungeon is probably influenced by his mind, the paintings could be physical manifestations of the magician's memories. Like he remembers all of these events in the paintings, which is why the paintings are in the dungeon. He's the "lunatic" magician implying a level of obsession and of course madness. He may very well be reliving these events in his head as if he were actually there, which creates a physical place in the dungeon that even others can access, and explains why he remembers people from the paintings.
      Whoever enters the painting literally becomes a part of his memory, or relives it with him, and laios could very well have come across the real lunatic magician in the paintings. Literally reliving his memories, and possibly explaining why he holds a grudge in the first place. He hates that someone intruded upon his mind, and probably killed everyone else who entered for similar reasons. If there are deeper reasons for his hatred of Laios I haven't seen any beyond the fact the magician remembers him.

Shes following the rules of the dungeon, and is using magic that she is one of the foremost experts on.

      The “dark magic” spell probably would have worked out fine if not for the interference of the mad mage’s spell to resurrect the dragon. Possibly every creature they have ever eaten could have a similar connection…maybe it is a bad idea to eat the monsters in this dungeon! This possibility makes the story so much darker! But I can’t say they are being selfish…they are desperate to save their friend and are ironically in trouble because they care so much they are making desperate risky moves that maybe are skewing their morality…is that growth or corruption?

    I gotta give props for actually coming back and revisiting it once the anime had more time to breathe to give a much better take on it! I especially loved that twist that you incoporated in the video, in the same vein of the show, of pretending you thought the show did a complete heel turn into grimdark before coming back and explaining that the real strenght of the show is the tonal juggling between these two, seemingly incompatible elements!
    The first few weeks of this show had it be completely overshadowed, which is how the manga was at first, but the anime had a lot less time to actually catch the audience to have the attention needed for a season two, but I'm glad that the moment the manga exploded, the anime did so aswell (the Red Dragon of course). Props to the anime comunity for demonstrating that they CAN stick through a show's slow start!

    The resurrection magic helps a lot in keeping the tone light. It allows such a dark scene to happen, while reducing the consequences of the monster attack. The audience still feels panicked during the fight, because the party will pretty much stay dead if everyone dies, but it can return to comedic once everyone gets resurrected.

    • @Clovericious

      To me it just removed all meaning from the character deaths. What's the point in horrifically slaughtering a bunch of characters only to resurrect them and then make inappropriate jokes about it to boot? This kind of shit works in a D&D session, but in a coherent story it just feels unnecessary. If you're gonna kill off characters, make it stick and make their death mean something.

    I thought the show was about irony.
    The journey was seemingly to save Falin, but the end of the manga revealed that Lios' true desire was to be around monsters, which he is forever separated from via the Lions curse.
    The irony is that everybody had a happy ending except Lios, whom while worshipped as a hero king, is eternally miserable without monsters in his life.

    I do love this manga and anime and enjoy it greatly.
    and I have seen a video talking polar opposites about these characters and how they feels like even thought there is stakes to them having to find his sister the group takes their sweet time getting down to the lower floors and spend quite a bit of time enjoying and eating on the way down rather then having laser focus determination to get there as soon as possible.
    The argument I have against that is stated by the characters themselves that rushing and making haste can lead to mistakes and not properly eating and getting rest can leave them weakened to face what ever they encounter is ahead of them.
    I agree that taking their time is smart and important it, though does slightly mess with the urgency of getting to his sister before what they assume is the time limit of her body getting digested by the dragon.

    • @To-To
      @To-To  2 місяці тому +7

      They actually end up making great time. I dunno what video you’re referring to, but the characters themselves state that only took them a week or so. It took much longer last time. I’d say the other person wasn’t paying attention, but they definitely do dick around so I can’t fault them.
      Not to mention death is treatable in this world, so realistically the characters would naturally be callous towards it even if they know they shouldn’t.

    • @tinfoilmkiv8394
      @tinfoilmkiv8394 2 місяці тому +2

      Originally I also thought it was odd they had such a casual air and lack of urgency, but this definitely gets explained as we go on with death being more of an inconvenience to experienced adventurers in this dungeon. Which despite their goofiness, all the party members are experienced, if not any sort of master or such. They've been around the dungeon and have almost certainly all died multiple times. That and all their knowledge about the dragon suggested they should have had the time. I feel they could have done a bit better portraying the death thing sooner, but I feel like it all makes sense in setting as we get to learn more about it.

    One thing this has me wondering is if Falin being such an ambiguous character for so much of the anime was intentional. Just seeing how quickly the loosely formed idea of who she is is torn asunder as she's malformed by the mage. It's wild, and it really gets you to question her character which lends well to the tension built up in the story up until now.

  • @stevenallen5952
    @stevenallen5952 2 місяці тому +5

    Hey nice to see you again. Hope you’re doing well with life and what not, and whatever else is happening irl.
    But yeah, this one is something I’m not too familiar with, I read a little bit of the manga and I know how it ends with the dungeon and Laois with everything, and I know pretty much the more important and crucial plot points but I really haven’t watched to much of it aside from the important and food/cooking bits.
    But besides that, this clearly has become a classic fantasy series, that touches upon fantasy realistically and makes it out into its own unique and fantastical thing. It doesn’t feel like some dumb, generic run of the mill fantasy but an actual living and breathing world with many, many factors that play into it’s most central theme being the dungeon and it’s monsters. Similar to something like ghibili and their ways of introducing the wild and supernatural.
    The cooking stuff is clearly the most central thing of the show and a lot of what they cook is really impressive and more noticeably feels more like how one would actually prep a monster for cooking. Despite some of it being quite literally out of this world like the ice cream but the way they portray it makes it look like an actual dish that I would gladly try if it’s safe enough.
    Also a lot of other people have talked about this show, it’s messages, it’s portray, of fantasy and more particularly it’s main guy Laois with his whole autistic, pretty not normal behavior. Because some of the stuff he does is autistic, weird and out there, and the series even tells you it with his scuffle with his “friend”. Which only serves to make him a more interesting and nuanced character in a place so already filled with monsters and supernatural crap. As well as of course more proved to surviving it.
    With some major things down the line going to happen because of his personality and how it’s going to tie into the entire dungeon all together and how he’s going to escalate things to their fullest extreme.
    Nothing much other to say than that. I haven’t watched the anime, I did read the manga at the ending, and I know the basic of what’s happening plot and theme wise. But other than that that’s all I gotta say about it. I hope you and anyone you know are still enjoying it and that it remains memorable as people say it is.
    Safe to say it’s a really good fantasy series, and right up there with the likes of Frieren or other well crafted fantasy stories that are not isekai and isekai alone.
    So like I said, I hope you are well and healthy, that the channel is growing better and that most of all you are still content on doing more content. That’s it and hope to see you soon!
