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.
Senshi tells us about his past, about the dwarf party with which he came to the island, many decades ago.
After an emotional bonding moment, the party then promptly walks into yet more trouble. Literally.
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.
Almost cried when I saw this too, it’s such a sweet moment. I love how over the course of the show, party has slowly felt less and less like just coworkers and more like actual close friends.
Senshi and Izu are new, of course… But I really liked the moment with Chilchuck pleading for Laios to return to the surface. You feel the weight of a long relationship when he admits he cares, and bares the fact he is scared out of his mind that one of them will end up dead. And not the temporary kind.
That was such a wonderful little arc of going from “Chilchuck is scared cause he’s worried of what’ll happen to him” to “he’s scared of what’ll happen to his friends”.
