This week, Shaun's been craving a home-cooked meal & has found the next best thing: An anime about eating fantasy creatures! So come grab a bite as we…
Dungeon Meshi – 06
This episode is an impressive piece of work, full of clever little visual details and a cheeky sense of visual humor.
Dungeon Meshi – 03
This technique of putting the "house style" ahead of the content has always tended to rub me the wrong way.
Dungeon Meshi – 05
The uniqueness of the series is really starting to show through, as well as its depth.
Dungeon Meshi – 09
「テンタクルス／シチュー」 (Tentakurusu/shichū) "Tentacles/Stew" Dungeon Meshi is a series that sneaks up on you.
Dungeon Meshi – 02
We're certainly at the tip of the iceberg both in terms of the mythology and the dungeon Laios and team are descending.
Dungeon Meshi – 05
「おやつ／ソルベ」 (O yatsu/ sorube) "Snack/Sorbet" The uniqueness of the series is really starting to show through, as well as its depth.

「大ガエル/地上にて」 (Oogaeru/Chijounite) "Giant Frogs/Abovw Ground" Intra-episodic pacing is very much an underrated skill with anime.
Dungeon Meshi – 07
Looking at Dungeon Meshi, a recent commercial powerhouse, it's interesting to speculate why the anime receives much lower aggregator scores than the manga.
Dungeon Meshi – 11
「炎竜１」 (Reddo Doragon Ichi) "Red Dragon 1" Sting – is that you?

Intra-episodic pacing is very much an underrated skill with anime, one that makes a big difference in a show's overall effectiveness.
Dungeon Meshi – 06
「宮廷料理／塩茹で」 (Kyuutei ryori/ shioyude) "Imperial Court Cuisine/Boiled With Salt" These sorts of episodes suit Chilchuck to a T of course.
Dungeon Meshi – 12
「炎竜２」 (Reddo Doragon Ni) "Red Dragon 2" Hopefully no one in the Laios party has seen Fullmetal Alchemist.
Dungeon Meshi – 23
「グリフィンのスープ/ダンプリング1」 (Gurifin no Suupu/Danpuringu 1) "GriffinSoup/Dumplings -1-" I really think an important element of the success of this series is that the main cast has no dignity at…

Dungeon Meshi – 02
「ローストバジリスク/オムレツ/かき揚げ」 (Rousutobajirisuku/Omuretsu/Kakiage) "Roast Basilisk/Omelet/Kakiage" Dungeon Meshi gets very complex, but for me what makes the series charming is already front and center.
Dungeon Meshi – 13
「炎竜3/良薬」 (Red Dragon III/Good Medicine) "Reddo Doragon San/Ryouyaku" These dorks are damn lucky to have a friend like Chilchuck.
Dungeon Meshi – 04
The needs of the material should always trump the studio signature, something Trigger haven't always agreed with
Dungeon Meshi – 04
「キャベツ煮／オーク」 (Kyabetsu ni/ ooku) "Boiled Cabbage/Orcs" Make no mistake, this ep was very much a showcase for Senshi.
Dungeon Meshi – 01
「水炊き/タルト」 (Mizutaki/Taruto) "Hot Pot/Tart" It may be my first of the season, but to say this premiere was a long time coming is an understatement.
Dungeon Meshi – 07
「水棲馬／雑炊／蒲焼き」 (Suisei-ba/zousui/kabayaki) "Aquatic Horse/Rice Porridge/Kabayaki" I wish I'd kept my Monster Manual.
Dungeon Meshi – 03
「動く鎧」 (Ugoku Yoroi) "Living Armor" It should be pretty clear by now that Dungeon Meshi is a series obsessed with details.
Dungeon Meshi – 08
「木苺 / 焼き肉」 (Kiichigo / Yakiniku) "Raspberries/Grilled Meat" The chapter that launched a thousand ship(per)s. And then some...
Dungeon Meshi – 16
Worlds are colliding on Dungeon Meshi.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 15 Review
「ドライアド/コカトリス」 (Doraiado/Kokatorisu) "Dryad/Cockatrice" This is Dungeon Meshi at its most elemental, and in my opinion at its very best.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 16 Review
「掃除屋/みりん干し」 (Soujiya/Mirin Boshi) "Cleaners/Dried with Sweet Sake" Worlds are colliding on Dungeon Meshi.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 14 Review
「シーサーペント」 (Shīsaapento) "Sea Serpent" It would be easy to dismiss this group as butt-monkeys given that they’ve died every time we’ve seen them.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 18 Review
「シェイプシフター」 (Sheipu Shifutaa) "Shapeshifter" Now the true ship can finally set sail.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 21 Review
「卵/黄金郷」 (Tamago/Oogonkyou) "Egg/The Golden County" We’re finally starting to get a sense of how everyone fits into the big picture – and what that big picture looks like.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 17 Review
「ハーピー)/キメラ」 (Hāpī/Kimera) "Harpy/Chimera" One of the fundamental truths about Dungeon Meshi for me is that Laios is a freak.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 19 Review
「山姥/夢魔」 (Yamanba/Muma) "Hag/Nightmare" Here, kitty kitty.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 22 Review
「グリフィン/使い魔」 (Gurifin/Tsukaima) "Griffin/Familiars" Well, that's one cat let out of the bag.
Dungeon Meshi – Episode 20 Review
「アイスゴーレム/バロメッツ」 (Aisu Gouremu/Baromettsu) "Ice Golem/Barometz" It occurs to me not for the first time that this series is as much as anything a chronicle of a social experiment.

You do feel sort of bad for Marcille, who bears this brand well and truly now - she's the black magic woman.
Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) – 14
If you don't conform to Kabru's vision of how the world should be, anything that happens to you is your own fault.
Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) – 13
I so totally empathize with Chilchuck. It's damn hard having to be the adult in the room.
Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) – 09
There were a number of times I would look back on these events and remember them as the first time some or other story element was introduced.

Dungeon Meshi – Episode 24 Review (END)
「ダンプリング2」 (Danpuringu 2) "Dumplings -2-" What it comes down to, really, is that Dungeon Meshi is awesome.
First Impressions – Dungeon Meshi
Anime has had more than its share of Newman "what took you so long?" moments, but this is one of the more glaring of recent years.
