At least there's no slave harem. Yet. Impressions: Well, there's less shouting than I anticipated, and somewhat more of a story centering things, but it still didn't click much for me.

「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 – 05
The uniqueness of the series is really starting to show through, as well as its depth.
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 – 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 – 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.

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
This episode is an impressive piece of work, full of clever little visual details and a cheeky sense of visual humor.
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.
