Dungeon Meshi

Chapter 52 made for a pretty good stopping point in the end. It got some deets from the surface mixed in, and an outlining for what the gang plans to do next.

Many questions remain. Why are the elves here? What exactly happened in Kabru's home village? Why is forbidden magic forbidden? Who and what is the winged lion? No high-stakes final climax, just a calm trolley-ride into the unknown.

If you're dying to know what happens next, I highly recommend the manga. Having read it has not ruined watching the anime for me in any way whatsoever. The opposite, I was only more hyped because I knew what was coming. So once season 2 rolls around, I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I have, if not even more knowing that the story only gets better and more interesting as it goes. Or maybe it'd make the wait even worse...

If the manga is something that interests you, I'm happy to say the adaptation has been extremely faithful, to the point that there are no differences to account for if you want to pick up where the anime has left off. Your starting point, then, would be chapter 53. Still, the manga is a masterpiece, and I think reading it from the start will give you an appreciation for the details, and a chance to notice new things, which is something the anime has been doing for me.

This episode adapted another Farcille moment that I'm really happy I don't have to wait for. Is it even possible for a character to be sweeter than our dear Marcy?

And Izu is already showing a huge change. Though initially put off by Marcy's outburst of emotion, she is very quick to try and awkwardly offer comfort. Not to mention that she was settling down for a nap in Marcy's lap to begin with :D

What a fitting end to the season! I sense turmoil in Kabru's future.

Anyway I took so many screenshots. here's a few, enjoy :)

Not in a thousand years would I've thought that the solution to the Falin problem would be to eat her lol, it is very fitting I suppose. Wonder why they couldn't just ask dungeon master to revert Falin and Izu to their human selves after defeating him? Maybe that'll be answered later in the story.

Wonderful season, glad they've already announced season 2, can't wait!

Something that I really like about the conversation they had on the trolley is that it brought some things full circle:

• The series started out with losing Falin and wanting to go back and get her. So, what better way to have a finale than to have Laios talk about how he started adventuring with Falin to begin with. Also, that he made a promise to himself to never abandon her ever again.
• The initial fight against the red dragon was lost in part due to not having eaten, leading to losing Falin. So, let's talk about all the times that Falin actually wanted to sit down and eat together with Marcille.
• Eating monsters was once seen as taboo and a very transgressive thought when the show started and only done out of necessity. Now, however, the group is realizing that it could be the solution staring them right in the face and they are actively trying to think of ways to increase the amount of ~~people~~ mouths they could bring to bear on the draconic parts of Falin.
• Finally, the group decides to cook and eat something together as the screen fades to black and the season ends. The one thing that they could have done, but skipped, leading to the problems at the beginning of episode 1.

Also, RIP half-foot Marcy. She was too cute to be allowed to exist any longer.
