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.
The elves have arrived.
This episode opens on Shuros and Kabrus parties returning to the surface, and the events on the surface that follow. It seems representatives of the elven nation are here, consisting of the canaries. Military special forces, and experts on dungeons in particular.
Why are they here?
Meanwhile, Laios and his gang are invited deeper into the dungeon than anyone has been before.
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.
Yeah it's really cool how something initially seems not important and later gets elaborated on, nothing ever feels like it came outta nowhere.
Exactly! It feels like so much media does subversion by just taking things in whatever direction that makes the least sense.
They're so scared of some fans putting together enough hints to have an idea of what's coming, they actively sabotage the internal consistency of their stories to force the subversion of expectations.
