Dungeon Meshi

DunMeshi has an unusual concept, but the worldbuilding is so well done that It grows on you. In a dungeon the characters usually worry more about defeating monsters, but in this story they realistically have to worry about food, water, carrying weight, and other aspects of daily life. The animation is beautiful and the food actually looks yummy even if it is made from monster parts.

If you enjoy thinking about the ecosystem of an universe, I bet you will enjoy this show. Senshi is one of my favorite characters because he understands the importance of each being, from big to small, and shares his knowledge and wonder with the other characters. A great hit for TTRPG fans, for sure.

I love this show, I'm genuinely excited to watch it every Thursday! It's got me leaning forward during the fight scenes and they are such a sweet group that and they make meals I'm jealous of! It's such a fun genuinely good show. They really do a good job of (figuratively) thinking on their feet they surprise me time and again, and I usually am good at guessing the "path" the characters are going to take. At first the characters come off a little whiney but character growth is solid and maybe makes you a little proud lol as much as you can be a for a fictional character. I recommend this show to everyone!!

This is based of a manga by the same name which has been completed in Japanese as of this review. While it may start a bit slow, it is VERY worth sticking around for.

Per the manga, the characters have fun interactions, the world isn't as simple as it seems, and the plot gets twisty. It has a constant forward progression yet retains the spirit a food centric anime. It's very well balanced in all these and the pacing may be a little more slow than normal for anime, but there is no dawdling, that's replaced by character development. Honestly, I think it's just worth it for the characters alone and the comedy is solid.

I really hope Trigger does right by this through the end (hoping we get that far) and so far they have delivered.

I would say the manga is a 10/10 while the anime id 9/10 because the animation quality kinda varies here and then. Some might like it but for me it was such a jarring transition especially when they do it in one episode.

I did started this series from watching the anime. It didnt interest me at first until like episode 2 and then I started reading the manga.

I have to give my highest praise to the mangaka. I dont think I ever saw another series that put so much work and detail on their lore, character designs, and world designs. The mangaka really knows what she's doing and it truly shown in the manga (and the anime since they follow the manga pretty closely).

The anime has become one of the things I look for every week. I just wish they would have animated the extra mondter tidbit from the manga too and put it in as an extra. It would be an added joy to watch.

"Delicious in Dungeon" is a fantastic blend of fantasy adventure and culinary exploration, uniquely serving up an enthralling plot seasoned with humor and imagination. The series brilliantly marries dungeon crawling with cooking, where the characters must forage and feast on their monstrous encounters to survive. This inventive approach not only adds depth to the character development but also enriches the world-building, making each episode a delightful surprise. I'm a die hard d&d fan and I binged watched the entire series. I can't wait for more. It's a must-watch for fans seeking something refreshingly different. 10/10 stars!
