The first season of the anime adaptation can be found on Netflix. Season 2 is confirmed and presumably currently in production.

DO NOT SPOIL THE ANIME WATCHERS

This is so that the anime watchers can sub to the community without worry of seeing posts that would spoil later parts of the story. This includes manga pages and panels, mentioning characters, fanart, etc.

Parent instance rules also apply, of course.

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.


We finally meet one of the other parties central to the plot! They don't last long, but get used to seeing Kabru and his gang.

Laios' new pet sword, Kensuke, saves the day! We again run into some new monsters, and hence, some new dishes! This time the dungeon food might finally be too much for Marcille.

I'm not sure how many of you read these, but in the thread for episode one I mentioned in the comments that the souls of people who die in the dungeon, are trapped there, and that this is why revival magic is even possible. Outside the dungeon, death is final.

With that knowledge in mind, the ghosts, and why they try to possess bodies, are a much sadder reality. And it makes Falins reluctance to hurt them all the more sweet.


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.

In this episode they straight up ate chocolate coins but made from bugs

When they tossed unintentionally treasure over the railing was hilarious. The exploitation and consequences of in universe mechanics is nice to see. If water is affecting the ghosts why not hurl it around in a container that is transparent to them.

Yeah! Chocolate coins! I'm late to the episode but after the Lunar new year I was able to appreciate the coins better.

The holy water on ghosts was amazing. Love how it made ice cream after passing through enough of those ectothermic bodies. Marcille's happy swinging feet got a lot of screen time ๐Ÿ˜†
