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.
Well, crud. That victory really didn’t last.
We finally have an appearance from a proper antagonist, the mad sorcerer. He is an ancient dark elf carrying a spell-book full of forbidden magic. And he’s really not very happy about his pet dragon getting offed.
He seems to think that Falin is the red dragon, now. Or is the red dragon Falin?
Either way, she’s taken away again, and the gang end up as a quartet, licking their wounds in the company of the orcs. As things look to be at their worst, Chilchuck has a crisis of conscience.
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.
I really like both the ED and OP, but I was also very much looking forward to something new to match the shift in tone and growing stakes.
Didn’t notice those frames on my first viewing, they’re cool af.
That sequence is so much more impactful when animated. Her deranged cackle especially really delivers the point that forbidden magic takes something more from the user than mere mana.
