Studio Trigger going off

Oh my ghad, I wanna see the animation breakdown for DunMeshi Episode 11

The little details, the action scenes, the sub and the dub, the pacing and cuts - it elevates the manga.

[recovering-dungeon-lord]

Minor Dungeon Meshi spoilers incoming, not for the actual plot but for the overall tone/trajectory of the story, so if you consider that a spoiler feel free to skip. I’m making this especially for anime watchers who are uncertain and/or feeling some type of way after watching Ep 11.

As someone who has read the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, I totally understand why other manga readers are enjoying seeing anime watchers react to the tonal shift in Episode 11. It’s super interesting and exciting and validating to watch someone go through the same shock you once went through, and loose their mind and speculate and theorize the same as you did.

But I also fear that maybe we’re going a little overboard with the whole attitude of “lol y’all got got, now you see what the story is really like.” Because it gives/can give the impression that the show from here on out is going to be a typical grimdark fantasy, that the unique take and sense of joy that has been present up until now will go away. This was actually something I myself worried about when I first read the manga. I almost stopped reading because of it, and I don’t want anime only folks to do the same and miss out on all the wonderful things this series still has to offer.

So to all the anime watchers out there who might be feeling conflicted right now, please let me reassure you. Yes, the show is gonna get a little darker and a lot more complex in plot/lore. It is going to become, if you’ll forgive the phrase, slightly less easily digestible. Yes, there is a tonal shift at this point in the story. But it is not a bait and switch of a hopeful, feel-good tale of friendship for some sort of hyper-serious drama about the cruel indifference of nature. I promise.

The forest has to get darker before it can get lighter (a lot darker at certain points) but it will get lighter, and there are plenty of points of light along the way. The comedy is still there. The whimsy is still there. The unique, complex characters and interesting relationships are still there (and added to). The messages of perseverance and the power of friendship are still there. The cooking is still there and just as delightful. Plus we have so many more great characters to meet and relationships to be developed and so so so much cool lore to find out about.

It’s gonna be a wild ride but I promise it will be worth it, and like a good meal by the end it will leave you feeling satisfied and full of joy.

I was told that delicious in Dungeon got crazy, but I wasn't prepared for the fucking skeleton. Laios and Marcille now have their traumatic backstories ig?

Thanks, now I'm sad.

[fishybehavior]

oh gods i watched the new episode of delicious in dungeon

oh god oh lord, i was not ready for this

[cait-sith]

@milkypancakess challenged me to a redraw at knifepoint. Check out their version over here! Original under the cut. What a banger of an episode

[haute-pockette]

As someone who's read the manga and is now watching the anime with my mother and sister who came into the series blind... Their reactions to episode 11's end was beautiful. The outrage and heartbreak. My sister is in denial, repeatedly yelling that Falin is alive somewhere else. My mom doesn't know what to think, just so upset their quest was for seemingly nothing. Like damn did you both forget resurrection is a thing within the dungeon?

DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS

falin.

[ajaxgb]

They weren't lying, that Dungeon Meshi can "What the fuck"

[cosmiclion]

New rule: First ever fanart I make of something has to be depressing and/or horrifying. I know other people have already made screencap redraws of this but I really wanted to make my own because it's sad but also metal af ngl💀

[jo-gakky]

getting really into Dungeon Meshi! Wanted to draw one of my fave fellows!

[petratherrock]

After the latest episode i had to look for the manga for a little spoiler even tho ik she'll be fine cz like, I've seen pages floating around tumblr,

ik they find her and she's \\gonna be\\ okay and whole, alive with flesh again but i had to know How

I didn't wanna ruin the fun of waiting for the episodes every week so i refrained from reading the manga lol

and ofc there are some stuff they can't fit in a 20+mins episode so-

Senshi? Senshi crawling into the dragon's mouth to find Laios's leg?? Amazing.

Senshi's commentary about Falin having plenty of calcium intake based on the state of her bones? 😆 Such a Senshi thing to say

For the next episode i guess,

I've seen this page others posted too so i know Marcille has knowledge that she doesn't tell the others, yet, but I didn't know the context to the panel they posted. I guess it's gonna get darker from here 😌

Can't wait for Marcille's reaction onscreen of Falin and Laios geeking over eating monsters. this was exactly what she was worried about 😆

Okay that's it, back to going in blind into the show i love it

[beautifulphilosopherbird]

Dungeon Meshi rewatch ep 11 notes

Marcille doing the spell magic circle thingie to bring down the building on top of the red dragon

woah red dragons go hard 60 km per hour damn

I remember this detail about red dragons clicking their tongues to ignite the fuel in their bodies and I love that

LOL the plan fails RIP

Kensuke ran away hahahah his faith in Laios did not withstand the red dragon

Mithril cooking knife to the rescue! lol at Chilchuck casually saying Namari might have killed Senshi for it

ahhhhhh Senshi got squished :(

:(((((((((( Laios

BACKSTORY FLASHBACK aw lil Laios and Falin so cute

Falin can see ghosts and she could expel one from Laios with just a stick, smol Falin awesome

she could also tell what was binding the ghost/spirit (the ring)

Laios comments that "adults are just scared of magic" when Falin asks if she did something wrong which makes me think that the people form her village/town had some choice words for her bravery and skill which figures (fuck them)

I think eelo pointed out this detail in the first watch, but Falin is holding adult Laios' hand here :(

adult Falin appears in his dream too and says not to worry about her :(((((

Marcille comments she needs to learn more defensive magic

she reattaches Laios' leg but it itches, and she helps Chilchuck and Senshi too and they all experience "recovery pain" which is what happens when you heal a big injury quickly - it hurts like a motherfucker

Senshi notes that digging around on the insides of the red dragon (they're looking for the stomach) reminds him of when he worked in a mine 👀 (I am genuinely upset at how little they're feeding us Senshi stans I NEED TO KNOW MOREEEEE)

the stomach is empty, Falin got digested :(((

so the red dragon uses the non-food parts of its pray as fuel for its fire breath (like hair and bones) and in there they find Falin's staff

and um a human skull

good thing it didn't use any of the Falin bits for its breath while it was chasing them around ig 💀

random screengrabs:
