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.

I loved the gag when Marcille realized what was going on with the necklace bug. She went atomic flashbang out of reflex, friendly fire be damned. Compare this to when she very carefully let loose some fire directly behind Laios without even singing his hair.

It was nice to see the party pre-red dragon incident and actually get to know Falin a bit. She is one of those anime characters that doesn't open her eyes. So...she is either really easy-going and affable, or...she is some kind of evil genius. Time will tell. 🀨 In all seriousness though, I hope we get more of her going forward. I think it is easy to forget that the raison d'Γͺtre for this journey is to extricate Falin, not just for Senshi to do his best Andrew Zimmern impression.

It was interesting to see a different party's experience with the dungeon and how easy it is to fall prey to treasure bugs. If it wasn't for Kensuke, our party's journey may also have ended prematurely. This also brings me to one of my favorite moments from this episode; when Marcy and Chilchuck are mourning the loss of the gems and suddenly Laios proclaims Kensuke's name. The shot lingered just long enough for the joke to hit, but not so long that it felt forced.

This episode reminded me of my own experience eating insects without realizing. It turns out that if you see that something is made with acheta powder, that means it is made with crickets. I have had cookies made with acheta and...not bad. I don't think it is as good as a normal, flour-based cookie, but it is entirely passable as a cookie. Anyway, tangent over.

Really love the ED for this show.

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 πŸ˜†
