Mahoako anime was so good actually.

I do prefer the art in the manga; it gives the series a more serious(?) vibe especially on the action parts, but I was expecting a meh adaptation so it was a good kind of surprise.

The voice actresses are SO good. Utena's is simply amazing at switching between Utena/Baiser and it feels so right when she's talking in her magic form and her inner voice is the "normal" one. Kiwi's was far softer than what I had in my mind when reading the manga but it fits her so well. Matama's was a bit weird because when she's singing badly you can tell that it was someone good pretending to sound bad instead of someone just being bad (not a negative, funny anyway). Kaoruko's I imagined would be more cutesy(?) and then super deep when she's more relaxed, she sounds like the Kiwi in my head. Whatever accent/dialect(??) Lord Enorme's was going for was lovely, I really liked her voice. Everyone else sounded exactly (or almost) as I imagined they would. Maybe Sister Gigant was a bit too soft aswell. Venalita's boku was expected since I remember thinking that it was a guy at first.

A few extra things I'd forgotten: Magenta gets put in predicaments waaaaay too much, but I love seeing her expressions. Beautiful. I'd say that Azul suffers a bit from losing her coolness (action sequences) a bit when comparing her to the manga. Still nice. Kaoruko's >:3 was perfect.

Utena is a good role model. We should all strive to torture magical girls so they grow strong and confident.

Perhaps some day we could have a serious conversation about why despite her amazing character designs and great variety in body types compared to other mangaka, Kui Ryoko still chose to have all but one (two arguably) of the characters with an active leader role in the story of Dungeon Meshi to be men.

Spoilers below.

It is a fantastic manga, to quote a post I've read a while ago (paraphrasing), Dunmeshi is 95 chapters long and no panel is irrelevant. But! Out of all the groups in the story only one is led by a woman (elf queen) and she does not actually participate in it.

Laios' party has Marcille, but she is at best "second in command" if you will, as much as Chilchuck is.

Kabru's party, the orcs, the governor(s), the gnomes' party, the canaries, Shuro's party, the dwarfs and even the golden kingdom (Delgal and Thistle). Fionil and Doni are minor characters and they're a party of two, we could assume both share the "leader" position.

One can find excuses to each of those choices, but at the end of the day the choice was made to make them men.

Kabru could have been a woman, it would not change anything at all.

Zon and Leed could have swapped places, with the older sister leading and taking a less violent approach to the hotheaded younger brother.

Either/both of the governors could have been women, no difference.

The leading, more vocal and abrasive of the gnomes could have been the old lady and the quiet one the old man. I struggle to see if anything would change at all.

The canaries are mostly women, and they were led by Milsiril back in the day and the queen leads them, technically. Still, the choice was made to have Mithrun in the role of Mithrun with everything it represents. Could it have been the younger sister that has her love stolen by the older one, would the dynamics be the same? Tempted to have the life she could not get by the demon, getting eaten (but not fully!) and seeking revenge? Would Milsiril spare her this time? We can't tell, Mithrun is a man. It was a choice made by Kui-sensei.

Could Shuro have been a woman? Seeing as he's the fantasy equivalent of a japanese young lord(!) probably not(?) in terms of how it would be presented. A young lady with her entourage chasing after her unrequited love and getting beaten to it by another lesbian? Sorry but this looks like the kind of ntr I enjoy now. But I don't think it would be the same conflict with Shuro/Marcille and Shuro/Laios. It could(!) work, but not in the kind of story where (almost) all the leaders are men.

Could the dwarves have been women? I don't see why not. Senshi could have been inspired by a mother figure (or older sister) as much as he was by his mentor (whether you see it as a father/older brother/something else figure). All the women in the party starving while the young kid survives? I won't even call it sexist (<- not joking).

Could Delgal have been a queen instead? What about Yaad being a princess? Or Thistle, still a jester but a woman now? Which manga readers thought he was, for a while. It would require an author that doesn't put the importance on the king while the queen is irrelevant.

Am I overthinking things? There are a lot of important characters who are women in the story of Dunmeshi. People have jokingly described the plot as a lesbian trying to resurrect her girlfriend, and it would be accurate although not fully correct.

But the issue remains that all leaders except for the elf queen are men. I don't believe it was by chance. It might have been a deliberate choice for reasons that I can see, or it might have been completely unconscious when designing the characters and writing the story.

What a shame.
