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.

    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.
