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.

    We should have known there was something off about that elf when he was not on each painting in ep 6 but showed up inside, and he remembered Laios across them (and here).

    He was looking for his king. If you do not remember what happened, go back and check out the legend at the very beginning of ep 1. This will not end well.

      Yeah no “The Mad Sorcerer, Master of the Dungeon” typically isn’t a title you earn by being an open and reasonable person.
