Sorry, this was kinda thrown together but I did my best to bring my thoughts together! I'll be doing a larger review once second season drops! Also for those interested, I'll be streaming tomorow on twitch at 7pm CST!

If we desribe this story like gourmet... The chef serves us with one of a kind unique appetiser that grabbed your attention at the first place. Then between the waiting period of each main course dishes, we are served various light refreshment. On the end, the gourmet ended with a satisfying dessert.

I love Dungeon Meshi's gradual descent into horror. It's not a series about cooking, it's a series about eating, and being eaten. And it's not like you have any right to be surprised when they pull Falin's bloodstained bones from the dragon; after all, the party has been killing, skinning, gutting, cooking, and eating creatures since the first chapter, and no detail was ever spared for the way those monsters' lives were untangled and used up for someone else's benefit. It disarms you by treating a human character with the same brutal pragmatism it treats the animals they eat. And if the dungeon itself is a body, with a digestive system and an immune system, monsters amd adventurers roaming around like bacteria in the gut...what does it eat?

I'm literally watching this right now😂. I'll be sure to come back to this video once I'm done! (5 more episodes to go!)

10:42 I went into this anime under the impression that it was a fun slice of life😭🤣. It was definitely still a fun watch but was way heavier than I expected going in😅

You were spot on in a lot of your closing thoughts, you're gonna love season 2! Also, nice Octopath music 😊

I like Dungeon Meshi and I like this video about dungeon meshi!

I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts and this video in general. I'd like to say one thing though: Having read the manga (half way into the anime I realized I wouldn't be happy to wait a year or two for second season, it's just too good), I would argue Dungeon Meshi very much is a philosophical master piece. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but be ready to let it hit you I'd say...

This is genuinely one of the greatest dunmeshi analysis(es?) I've watched! It also inspired me to rewatch it even though iv'e finished it not so long ago :)

Thanks for the video! It's a really nice and smooth recollection of the series which gives the needed time to every aspect of the show. Good job! I absolutely adore Dungeon Meshi. From the meticulously well crafted dungeon itself to coffee-spitting humour (Laios siren song, you'll always be famous), from charming characters who feel very real and alive to the animation and style of the whole show, full of expression. Dungeon Meshi is a darling of mine, I am so happy this show exists!

At 13:00 I fully expected you to say "in dungeon meshi friendship is magic."

To eat is the privilege of the living

Lol I'm not normally a stickler for name pronunciation, but this was killer for me XD For the future and your future reference: Mar - seal Lie - OS Chill-chuck The video was amazing work otherwise!

Laios is one of my favorite representations of a character with autism as someone with a brother who is autistic. Laios has a weird and extreme obsession with monsters and fails at reading the room, but he isn’t dumb and he isn’t so obsessed that he stops caring for his party. The issue with how many stories portray autism is they make the character completely incapable of normal human interaction instead making the character come off as completely alien and incapable of having any sense of normality. Laios doesn’t feel alien he feels like a regular guy who happens to have autism.

Laios is less zookeeper and more apex predator. They’re eating their way through the dungeon, and even at the end of the story he wins by eating the main villain.

I watched another video essay about DunMesh before this one, but I gotta say, I like yours better! And also I had no idea you were a vtuber until the very end, nice!

Lovely video as always! I look forward on your thoughts on season 2 when it comes around! I'm off to go read the manga though I can't wait that long🤣😅

laios my autistic beloved he just like me fr EDIT: that moment when the mage went "hey there, dragon" and farlyn immediatly reacted as though on instinct... thats when i knew that something was insanely wrong.

Seshi got closure from cooking... Very satisfying.

Incredible video, please continue to make more

As a manga reader, I would say that the first season is about cooking but the second... ....is going to be EATING p/s: Great analysis video, I hope you keep making this content.

Watch it weekly almost every Thursday, im sad to see it end ,however im glad it will get a second season. (please dont rush or strain the staff trigger)

Laios is smarter than everybody gives him credit.

"Dungeon meshi is not a philosophical masterpiece." ...speak for yourself again, after season 2. ❤

Thumbs up.. no no don't apologize about it being thrown together. I liked the format. and yes I felt the same about the beats in this anime. So it's all good. be honest about the things that you like. I personally am looking forward to season 2 as well.

Its so much fun and I really like it.

When I blast Octopath music, the world of Dungeon Meshi always comes to mind. Good taste

NEW LOCKLAN VID LET'S GO

marsilly

finally continuing the video and 12:00 onwards actually made me cry ngl

I would love if there was a Dungeon Meshi video game. Especially if it was made by Larian Studios.

where can I find the music you used in the background?

This sounds harmless, why is it MA??????

Whaddup, haven't seen ya in 7 months dude! Still remember me?

I've dropped it after 2 episodes. But since you recommend this anime... I guess I'll give it another try.

Here's a comment so the algorithm shows the video to more people

I remember how a lot of people mistook this show for a shallow episodic cooking adventure during its first cour, which I mean, fair, but it goes to show how much audience that might've liked it a show loses by not frontloading its best moments

commenting so this gets more traction

1:07 You didn't butcher Chilchuck or Senshi

Comment for even more attention!!!

Why is everyone calling Laios, Laos? It's some English translation error? Or a dub error?

:3

funny comment
