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.
Kabru's party is back! Again, they don't last long.
The gang finally reaches the fourth level of the dungeon. I've been looking forward to its watery environment, and boy does Trigger pull out all the stops on the animation.
Lots of encounters this episode, a kelpie, mermaids, merfolk, bladefish, and a kraken. What will they try eating?
Laio's party continues to bond with Senshi, especially Marcille. He gets his beard washed for the first time in probably decades.
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.
Another wonderful episode. Probably one of my favorites.
Senshi learns that at 112, he is still naive in some ways, and that some things really are only possible using magic. He works together with Marcille to use her spells in a way even she didn't think of. Watching these characters bond again is a blast. I can barely stand having to wait for each episode.
We are now on 16 chapters adapted, which amounts to 2.2 chapters per episode. At this pace, the 24 episodes will take us up to chapter 52 (out of 97). But I expect the pace to slow further, as from this point on the story begins to kick into high gear, and some of the chapters that follow are many pages longer than earlier ones.
Next week, expect a full chapters worth of a flashback, set in the past of one of our party members.
Interesting. Do you think that these two cours will adapt about half the story then? That points to a good likelihood of a season 2 with two more cours.
That looks to be the case.
