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.
AH! A new OP and ED! I like both of them, though this OP isn’t much darker than the last despite the plot taking a turn towards more depressing developments. And so many characters being shown off! We meet some in this episode, too.
Our first fully off-main-cast episode. We follow Kabru’s party with them being revived where our main quartet left them, by the Tansu party, no less!
They dawdle a bit, then it’s time for more new charachters. We finally meet Shuro! And who are all these girls following him around?
This one seems especially unhappy to be there, too.
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.
Shuro and his party are all great, and Laios’ party will be picking up their fifth member soon.
The girls that follow Shuro around are all genuine, although we’ll learn that their loyalty to Shuro stems from some seriously fucked up shit in Shuro’s family.
Kabru’s party is just one of five (IIRC) parties that the story will eventually center around. (We’ve already met the Tansus, but there’s one more, teased in both OPs)
Also, can you imagine how satisfying it’s going to be, if Kabru figures iut that the Toudens aren’t some malicious self-centred schemers (like he is and therefore seems to think they must be) and are in fact just weird but wonderful people?! 🤣
That would be so cathartic, I hope we get a moment like that.
