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.


This week we get learn a lot about the phenomenon known as “dungeons”. Marcille points out that the dungeon they are in has been carefully designed accounting for a mind-boggling amount of complexity, and that she studied the science in school. But then the dungeon that Falin discovered seemed like a natural occurrence?

So which is it? Man-made, or natural phenomenon? And can the dungeon master really be taking every little detail into account? Are they omniscient within the dungeon?

This is the tipping point. This is where the story begins to crack open the floodgates on what is really going on.


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.

    True. I also noticed much more “Trigger” in the style of the animation, and even the stills. Stills especially have been sticking close to the artstyle of the manga, so far, rather than what is typical for Trigger.

    Only one more floor. The orcs told our party that the dragon has been active in the “residential area” which is located on the fifth floor, which used to be part of the city around the castle that became the dungeon.

    Back when they entered the fourth level, the narrator mentions that you can see through the floating water of the lake, down to the fifth floor and the city buildings below.
