HBO tried to make the line go up by cutting two episodes off the second season in the midst of the writer's strike. Like no exaggeration, the season 2 finale ends in a way that makes it immediately obvious two more episodes were supposed to exist. They were simply truncated along with the all the payoff for many of this season's character arcs and plot lines.

One of the writers even made a statement that an eight episode season wasn't their decision. Unfortunately the news of that must have hit them too late in production to fully accommodate that in the writing.

Except on all the subreddits for this show, the prevailing opinion amongst dipshit redditors is that the writers are cutting book events to make time for LGBTQ asoiaf fanfiction.

While that'd be based if true, it's not. Like wtf? Do these people live in a different universe? Are they watching a different dragon show? Redditors ain't alright, man. These people watch the enshittification of media in real time, and their lack of media literacy results in them going on queerphobic witch hunts and throwing wild assignment of blame at anything but HBO and capitalism.

My dragon show "dungeon meshi" is doing great. Comfy cooking show, interesting characters, well-established world building, diverse, multi-layered characters and escalating stake, done by talented animation studio in close consultation with a caring author who already finished her part of the bargain (the story is finished) and knows exactly how things should be adapted. mario-thumbs-up

Can't wait for S2

Dungeon Meshi (or known as Delicious in Dungeon because I watch it localized) is actually really good and I quite enjoy it. Not vegan friendly by any means but I just accept it as fantasy and with survival tactics considering the circumstances.

Senshi's bread looked amazing, that said. breadpill

Monsters are vegan but only if they aggro you first.

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even if it isn't vegan, it has more respect for the concept of "ecosystem" than your average american has for their own food supply. The next season will be unhinged.

More unhinged. so-far

the tonal shift will really go crazy. It's gonna be great.

As someone who only knows the show so far and has no idea what the manga has up ahead:

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I really want to watch, but I'm having hard time finding a copy of the show, do you know of anywhere to🏴‍☠️?

Thank you so much!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't, but I hope someone does. My wife has it on Netflix so I'm sort of a consooomer there. so-true

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, my friends have been recommending it for ages, but they also watch it on Netflix. It looks very cute though, and I'm happy to see a bit more variety in the character designs than the usual generic "anime" look.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have been so very sick and tired of incel-pandering "what if fantasy world is bibeo bame and can be exploited with capitalist realism too" isekai trash that I just about gave up trying to watch new anime entirely.

But Dungeon Meshi is that good. The characters are very compelling and unique in ways typically not even seen in anime at all (Laios still bewilders me in a good way and I dare say is an example of an autistic person done fairly and not patronizingly, but still allowed to be silly/funny) and it helps that the awooga is drastically minimized and sometimes even reversed into gags like most of the "upskirts" being buffalo shots of the dwarf guy.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's good. I've gone off anime entirely for the same reasons (It's extra annoying when I have clients constantly hiring me to draw characters from "What if I was reincarnated in generic video game fantasy world and we did nothing with that premise #33546" and they keep trying to get me to watch it.) so my friends probably wouldn't have recommended it to me unless it was something actually special.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"What if I was reincarnated in generic video game fantasy world and we did nothing with that premise #33546"

I'd prefer the isekai protagonists would do nothing to those generic video game worlds instead of exploiting them with bullshit metagame trickery until capitalist realism turns them into hellscapes repurposed entirely to serve the isekai protagonist's whims and vulgar cravings. disgost

so my friends probably wouldn't have recommended it to me unless it was something actually special.

It is something special to me. I very nearly stopped saying I liked anime entirely for a while until Dungeon Meshi came around.

Or if they dealt with slavery in the fantasy world by actually opposing it instead of just buying a girl off of the slavers to "free" her.

It is something special to me. I very nearly stopped saying I liked anime entirely for a while until Dungeon Meshi came around.

I'm currently at that point, so hopefully it'll change things for me!

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope to find out soon how you like Dungeon Meshi!

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Watched the first half dozen or so episodes, really like it so far. It's nice and chill to just watch after work.

Most of them are izutsumi for some reason lol

kbity kbity-how izutsumi-idea

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I give her credit for being yet another catgirl in anime except she actually acts like a cat and scratches faces if she doesn't want to be touched. I'd love it if otaku/weebs realized how much they'd be bleeding if they actually had the "genetically engineered catgirls for domestic use" that my-hero creep-posted about.
