So far, seems promising as hell.
If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. It’s about a party of dungeon adventurers. They unfortunately get killed, and all but one of them successfully revives. Out of money and food, and with some party members leaving. The heroes decide to venture back into the dungeon to save their lost companion, surviving by eating the monsters they kill.
Hilarity, but also a fantastic story and good character development, ensues.
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader. Suffice to say if the adaptation stays at this level, we are in for quite a ride.
Is this a Netflix exclusive? I’d love to be able to watch somewhere else
Looks to be, yeah. The only other option is piracy, then.
Sonarr picked it up pretty quickly for me. Probably won’t be an issue.
Sure, but not everyone has all that set up.
Yeah, but if Sonarr found it, a quick manual search should also turn it up.
To be frank I thought “eew” when I saw the Netflix logo - I remember Gokushufudou, the anime adaptation was rather… awful. But I love the manga series and gave it a try, past the logo - and I’m glad that I did.
Marcille being picky with the food was hilarious. Also Senshi and Laios’ immediate connection - one likes cooking with monsters, another likes everything monsters.
Netflix has done little more than fund anime studios by buying out exclusivity in advance for a series that’s already planned by the studio. They don’t have anywhere near the involvement like with their own shows.
There isn’t really such a thing as a “netflix-anime”. Sure, they buy anime, but they do not make it.
I enjoyed the first episode, so I’ll keep watching. The art style is interesting.
The whole thing makes me think of Campfire Cooking, or that 1 episode of “How a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom,” where they do the gem cast with the slime recipe.
The formula of the show has been laid out, so now I’m curious how their journey goes.
The art style is interesting.
You can say that again. Trigger usually has super distinctive style, but it’s almost completely gone in favor of very closely matching the style of the manga. Trigger movement is still around, but details like the “pencil” style line-art was kinda jarring with how noticeable it was, at first.
The episode does a good job setting up the world, and the characters seem charming so far. I’m looking forward to escalating danger and hilarity.
Haven’t read the manga yet but probably will if the anime hits all the right beats.
Watched the first episode with my wife, and I enjoyed it. I had read the manga previously, although it had been a long time since I read the parts the anime is covering.
I noticed it’s rated TV-MA for nudity, but I don’t remember any nudity from this series. Anyone know what that would be referring to?
Hm. Technically there are two female characters later in the series that appear topless, but one is feathered and the other is a cat-person with fur…
There were also the mermaids and dryads, maybe a couple other monsters?
No nipples anywhere, but I don’t know if that matters for the rating.
Yeah, I could remember the cat/feather characters, but didn’t think they would count. I was wondering if maybe I forgot about a nude monster or something.
