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 elves have arrived.

This episode opens on Shuros and Kabrus parties returning to the surface, and the events on the surface that follow. It seems representatives of the elven nation are here, consisting of the canaries. Military special forces, and experts on dungeons in particular.

Why are they here?

Meanwhile, Laios and his gang are invited deeper into the dungeon than anyone has been before.


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.

    When I saw the extra Marcille designs I thought they were pulled from early concepts, poor girl, not a single fashion appreciater in her party.

    There was another ship moment when they were standing in front of the window, they looked like a cute family. Unfortunately, I just don’t see Laios as the romantic sort.

      You’re right in that so far only Marcy has openly shown affection for him and Falin that feels like it would have potential to be romantic.

      Meanwhile Laios seems to only get passionate when monsters are involved, but he definitely cares about humans. He just doesn’t show it.

      While we won’t be getting to it in this season, there is an event that shows Laios not to be entirely uninterested, and in Marcille in particular. Still, no ships are full-on confirmed in the story.

      Also, both Laios and Falin have actually been engaged before. They left those relationships behind when they became adventurers.

      He and Chilchuck also have a general rule to avoid workplace romances, as the friction they can cause is devastating to the social dynamics of a party and their ability to co-operate.

      It’s the reason why the mage that was in the party before Marcy was fired, she was a husband hunter and was hitting on everyone.
