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.
AH! A new OP and ED! I like both of them, though this OP isn't much darker than the last despite the plot taking a turn towards more depressing developments. And so many characters being shown off! We meet some in this episode, too.
Our first fully off-main-cast episode. We follow Kabru's party with them being revived where our main quartet left them, by the Tansu party, no less!
They dawdle a bit, then it's time for more new charachters. We finally meet Shuro! And who are all these girls following him around?
This one seems especially unhappy to be there, too.
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 love the new OP. It's fun, but it conveys really well that the party runs nonstop into troubles (getting "cooked"), while playing with the topic of the series.
Kabru for me is one of those characters that I love as a character - he plays a huge role for a side char, his antics are interesting to watch, and he fills a "character role" well, without being shallow. As a person though? I'd hate him, and I can't help but agree with OP calling him "punchable".
No character is a miss in terms of quality. And as sure as I am about disliking Kabru, I'm not so sure the hints that make me feel that way are that obvious to everyone. His flaws are very subtle, and as you say, he will indeed be a major character for the entire run of the story. A really well done one, too, as all characters in Dungeon Meshi are.
