Anime

Pst! The title is goofy in English because a creative decision was made to make it sound like both a play on D’n’D and a cooking show on public television, for example “Barefoot Contessa” or “Welcome to Homegrown!” instead of doing a direct calque of its Japanese name and calling it “Dungeon Meal.” Real clunker, huh?

Everything dungeon meshi related should come with a big certification sticker that says "Contains no isekai content!"

It is an honest to god dungeon crawl in the old tabletop sense, where the characters triumph due to their knowledge and cunning rather than raw power. Everyone's personality is believable, and each member of the party has complimentary strengths and weaknesses.

Ryoko Kui plays CRPGs and it shows, but she also transcends the videogame logic by centering the narrative on the party's mastery of the environment (the dungeon, the monsters, the nature of magic and so on) rather than a series of pitched battles. I recommend it to pretty much everyone who has an interest on anime or computer RPGs.

But more importantly, I want to eat the ice cream.

Literally me

Senshi is raw sex appeal.

the title Delicious in Dungeon makes no sense, it should be Delicious in THE Dungeon.

It's trying to be a pun on DnD but the english title doesn't translate well.

There are so many reasons to recommend this manga / anime. Like that Laios is undeniably autistic—that man loves monster meals the way I love dinosaurs.

The videogamey goes right out the window very soon. One of my favorite manga.

Now watch dragon pilot

Honestly a lot of anime coming out these days are so much better than the isekai dark ages. Dead dead demons destruction is absolutely goated and probably the best thing I've seen in a while.

My only criticisms are that it's a little videogamey

I had to dig up and old post @Cromalin@hexbear.net made where the author was talking about games she liked and games she played with her dad on twitter, plus some of her CRPG fanart

Has the best character been introduced yet? I think she shows up in episode 17 or something. She's amazing every time she's doing anything I go hoohoohehehehe

It's going to get better further as the world and lore opens itself. The world has a surprisingly well-established tabletop DnD rule, with each race given fairly sufficient lore just like the edible monster that you have seen so far. I also highly recommend going to the manga after you complete the anime, as the manga has concluded (it is only 90 or so chapter) and the art is gorgeous. Unlike many other manga that drags on, the author wraps it up where it makes sense with very satisfying book-end (although some people suspect that she did wrap up the series just in time for BG3 release last year, the author is a massive western CRPG fan, she's too much of an anti-social to actually play DnD with other people).

The premise is cute but i bounced off the animation. Not DiD-specific, i had the same issue with the new batman. The current generation of cg cartoon animation looks so flat and, idk... austere? I'm not sure what the call it. But it doesn't speak to me or generate visual interest.

IT'S READY!

My only criticisms are that it's a little videogamey,

It's an adaptation of the classic video game Wizardry: Proving Ground of the Mad Overlord =)
