Dungeon Meshi

I think the story needed this episode. Since the confrontation with the red dragon the story has been at times tense, depressing, or melancholy. I think having an episode that gets the group chemistry back in sync is great. We got a chance to lighten the mood and laugh at everybody else's mental images of each other.

I did notice that the new character's hand was the one that grabbed Marcy's during the blizzard, however, since Marcy couldn't see anything, she probably thinks it was a shapeshifter. Actually, that raises the question of where the shapeshifter versions of the newcomer are. Perhaps there wasn't a strong enough mental image that they all shared of each other to be included?

Looking forward to the new companion! She must be fairly skilled to avoid being detected until now despite the party's abilities (and Chilchuck's ears). Also, it seems like we have lost the blood trail at this point after all the shapeshifter nonsense, so the only way is into the maze of the 6th floor at this point.

If you missed it, check out Lios' character sheet that I posted.

The gang takes a break from big business to spend an episode on what feels like a corporate escape/trust building exercise.

I like that despite Marcys, Chils, and Senshis valid worries, Laios proves himself in the end. This episode also adapts some of my favorite panels from the manga.

Each of the dopplegangers are also subtly wrong in a way that's simply hilarious. Like the two Chil's imagined by Marcy and Senshi being cuter and more childish that the real one.

Chils version of Marcy is an old hag that goes on about forbidden magic. Marcy seems to think of Laios as "Falyn's brother". And I'm not sure whose head birthed "Handsome Senshi" but I love that he exists.

Can't wait for next week. You might think a show can only have one "best" girl but you are about to be proved wrong.

The whole sequence of Laios jumping at the mimic, the dramatic cuts to Senshi and Chilchuck's faces to Marcille just casually blowing up the mimic was so funny, I had to rewind and watch it again. This episode felt more lax and fun like older episodes, enjoyed it very much.

I've seen people say how Kabru is the invert of Laios, he's the people expert while Laios is the monster expert, but this episode showed how Laios is plenty good at people too when he feels like it.

Excited to meet the new member, she doesn't seem the most friendly but Senshi's cooking will remedy that before long I'm sure. I was half expecting the mimic to be the new party member until Marcille blew the poor puppy's head clean off, RIP (._.)
