Delicious in Dungeon

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 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!!

"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!

I find this series enjoyable. It reminds me for some reason of childhood. The plot is not very serious and heavy and the humor is blended well. I think I enjoy the pacing the most, nothing is rushed and you really take time to know the characters. The characters by the way are a pleasure to watch how they interact with each other, with the environment, and how they behave with their main and side quests.

It's also great how they left enough space to further develop the world with intrigues all around, which even if they don't address I wouldn't mind, as the plot is already good enough.

All in all this is a nice series to watch as a filler series that doesn't feel heavy on you.

What started as a light watch and silly anime really expanded into a gripping and fun show! I love that they release it weekly because I look forward to it. I love every second of it. The relationship development is super interesting, the cooking theme is cute and really clever, and the writing is great- so many funny bits with great comical timing. The show surprised me with the darker overarching storyline which develops over the season and I've found the pacing and development to be a little confusing but also engaging and it leaves me wanting more. I love the primary cast but the secondary characters have surprised me with their quality additions to the story and plot. It's kind of a trust the process start which pans out well.
