This is so that the anime watchers can sub to the community without worry of seeing posts that would spoil later parts of the story. This includes manga pages and panels, mentioning characters, fanart, etc.

Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and the first half of an adaptation by Studio Trigger has just finished airing. If you haven’t seen it, it's fantastic and I highly recommend it. If you're a fan, make sure to sub to the community here on Lemmy.

The series is available to stream on Netflix.

And so it ends. Another great episode, not much of a synopsis to write here. The gang sorts out the Mushroom and Gargoyle problem, and then discuss the best plan they've come up with so far for dealing with Falin.

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.

Something that I really like about the conversation they had on the trolley is that it brought some things full circle:

  • The series started out with losing Falin and wanting to go back and get her. So, what better way to have a finale than to have Laios talk about how he started adventuring with Falin to begin with. Also, that he made a promise to himself to never abandon her ever again.
  • The initial fight against the red dragon was lost in part due to not having eaten, leading to losing Falin. So, let's talk about all the times that Falin actually wanted to sit down and eat together with Marcille.
  • Eating monsters was once seen as taboo and a very transgressive thought when the show started and only done out of necessity. Now, however, the group is realizing that it could be the solution staring them right in the face and they are actively trying to think of ways to increase the amount of ~~people~~ mouths they could bring to bear on the draconic parts of Falin.
  • Finally, the group decides to cook and eat something together as the screen fades to black and the season ends. The one thing that they could have done, but skipped, leading to the problems at the beginning of episode 1.

Also, RIP half-foot Marcy. She was too cute to be allowed to exist any longer.

Laios' promise to never leave Falin again is a poignant indicator of the fact that he does care for people. A lot.

It's such luck that they've made so many friends during this delve! I'm sure a standup guy like Kabru will be delighted to help consume Falins dragon parts!

Smolcy was too good for this world. But it's better this way. Elven Senshi is too much for anyone to handle, and Chil is better off tiny and light.

I really like how they all notice the differences between their races. Marcy is useless with the mana-pool of a half-foot. Chil really does have good reason to bail on combat. Dwarves are strong AF, but it isn't all upsides. Tall-men may be weak, but they have unbeatable endurance... Etc.

And elves are just... Really hot?

Laios's perception of Kabru cracked me up this episode. Laios really doesn't understand people at all.
