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.
Senshi tells us about his past, about the dwarf party with which he came to the island, many decades ago.
After an emotional bonding moment, the party then promptly walks into yet more trouble. Literally.
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.
There is a lot of episode in this episode!?! The ED was omitted entirely in favor of more screen-time for stuff happening, and even with that the runtime pushes beyond any other episode so far.
Fingers crossed the same is true for next week. If we’re lucky, they’re doing something special to wrap up the season!
We finally get to learn something truly pivotal about Senshi. Similar to Marcy losing her human father to old age, he suffered a traumatic childhood event that forever changed him.
Yet another time this anime has made me cry even as I know exactly what to expect, having read the manga.
And yum, more Senshi without a helmet. “He’s always been cool and handsome” indeed.
Might I even suggest… That he’s cute?
AH FUCK GO BACK!!
I want to yeet smol Marcy so bad
The changeling chapters are fantastic. For once, Chil looks exactly the way he acts, Marcy’s cuteness is over 900000, while Senshi is WAY TOO GODDAMN ATTRACTIVE. I wonder if that’s essentially what he looked like to Namari.
Almost cried when I saw this too, it’s such a sweet moment. I love how over the course of the show, party has slowly felt less and less like just coworkers and more like actual close friends.
Senshi and Izu are new, of course… But I really liked the moment with Chilchuck pleading for Laios to return to the surface. You feel the weight of a long relationship when he admits he cares, and bares the fact he is scared out of his mind that one of them will end up dead. And not the temporary kind.
That was such a wonderful little arc of going from “Chilchuck is scared cause he’s worried of what’ll happen to him” to “he’s scared of what’ll happen to his friends”.
