Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
Episodes are available to stream on Netflix.
The cast grows by 5! Namari is back, for a short while at least… While Marcille isn’t too hot on seeing her again, it’s clear Namari isn’t as callous about leaving the party as Marcy might suspect.
Again, we learn many new details about the world, the Tansus are real experts on the dungeon and they share some tidbits on what makes the place so different to the outside world. Though both them and their adopted twins tend to look down on “normal” adventurers.
Marcille cooks up a stew, new relationships are formed over a meal, and an old friendship gets repaired.
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.
That was not a cool way for Namari to die. The Tansus certainly don’t give off a good first impression. Ignoring Marcy’s injuries, straight up getting Namari killed when WARNED that the undine was dangerous.
We are now at three parties introduced. Laios, Kabru, and the Tansu couple. There’s also a mention of the other member to leave Laios party upon being returned to the surface by Falin, Shuro.
Namari is a bit taken aback by a dwarf who doesn’t know how to care for his weapon, nor realize that his cookware is made of the rarest and strongest metal there is! But she comes around to appreciating the kind of person he is.
And handsome, too! Senshi takes off his helmet for the first time, look at those eyebrows and sideburns! It’s a good thing he ran into Namari after Marcy made him wash his beard :D
I like her a lot. She’s competent, and while not self-sacrificially suicidal on the level of Falin, she still cares about others. She quickly recognizes the good in Senshi, and has long since learned to take Laios’s baseless hunches seriously. She doesn’t join the Tansus lightly, but fully intending to do more than “just the job”.
I’m so happy to see Marcille back in good health, and for her and Namari to let bygones be bygones despite their recency. She didn’t leave the party because she doesn’t care. Chilchuck already knew. Namari is trying to deal with a personal problem of her own, one which means she needs to be making money.
Also, the show has now revealed enough details about the dungeon that it’s possible to begin putting some things together. Mr. Tansu comments on the magical script of the dungeon being Elven in origin…
