#netflix is releasing dungeon meshi weekly

[theunicornastronaut]

Okay, but would everyone prefer it if Netflix releases Wednesday on a weekly basis like I'm seeing them do with other shows?

Like, it would be so nice to discuss each episode and pick out clues and over-analyze and scream over character interactions. It'll make the fandom stronger, keep people coming BACK to Netflix for however many weeks, and promote the show because people keep talking about it.

Idk, maybe I'm just getting old but I would much prefer one episode at a time so I'm not pressured into binging it and missing a bunch of stuff a lot of people worked really hard on, just to participate in the fandom.

Has Netflix even specified how Wednesday's being released?

It's Netflix. They are infamous for treating Anime worse than the Anime industry

Okay, but that's a given.

I mean, honestly, I'm surprised that they're allowing Dungeon Meshi to release weekly rather than waiting to dump it all on the platform like they did when they screwed over Stone Ocean...

So are they only releasing one ep per day instead of just the full set like most animes do now?

Hi, anon! Based on the pattern we’ve observed thus far, I think it’s safe to say that a new episode of Kuroshitsuji Season 4 (one of the sub and one of the dub) will be dropping each Saturday, although the English dub’s release schedule is a few episodes behind the sub, and the new dub episode won’t become available until a few hours after the subbed episode.

At least in my experience, weekly episode releases for ongoing seasonal anime tend to be the norm rather than the exception, especially on Crunchyroll, where the Weston arc is currently streaming. Netflix has been known to dump out all the episodes of their original anime at once, or to hold shows like Beastars captive in “Netflix jail,” not making them legally available to English-speaking viewers until long after the original air dates in Japan. However, even their platform has occasionally followed a weekly release schedule with certain anime, i.e. Vinland Saga and Dungeon Meshi. And, in my opinion, a steady trickle of episodes makes for a much more enjoyable and sustainable fandom experience than the binge model!

Im glad that dungeon meshi is so successful rn but it does make me wonder why netflix didnt just do weekly releases for jojos stone ocean... like you can see the hype dungeon meshi is getting every week when new characters are introduced, plot twists happen and there's a new op. If they had released it all in one batch like they did with stone ocean nobody wouldve talked about it like this. It's so disappointing for jjba

idk how to describe it but dungeon meshi feels alot like a saturday morning cartoon, atleast the first few episodes (pre-red dragon saga). The series has a serious, overarching plot that never becomes irrelevant and yet each episode consists of goofy and fun adventures where laois' party eat like cthulu or something. Every episode is a completely new adventure and yet there's effective continuity. I adore the show and the weekly episode releases on Netflix perpetuate this comparison.

Never has an anime immediately urged me to read its manga... Aside from maybe madoka magica or something.

i have a quastion. what is dungeon meshi like i’ve considered watching the anime since it looks amusing…. i trust you as an authority on this hence why i’m in your asks :3c

Dungeon Meshi is so good!!!

So Ryoko Kui (the author of the manga) is a super super great artist and writer in general, and her knowledge of intimate and expansive worldbuilding, including the cultures of different fantasy races is VERY apparent in dunmesh without being super in your face. It strikes a perfect balance between showing and implying and telling; giving you information when you need it but not holding your hand throughout the process. Ecology and biology of creatures and the places (mostly dungeons but yk) is SUPER important and expanded upon in the story. It scratches my Creature autism SOOO well. And all of the characters are VERY distinct and fun AND THE DESIGNS FUCK SOOO HARD. Dungeon Meshi has become one of my favorite series of all time, because it's so. so fucking profound. There are a LOT of funny moments and gags but there's an equal amount of genuinely serious and emotional moments. The character dynamics. GOD. Cannot recommend it enough.

Also. Dungeon Meshi is super fucking horny. LMAO. Not in a "fanservice-y" way (in fact, there is only ONE character that ever gets upskirt/panty shots and it is Senshi, the bearded dwarf man. He's my fave btw <3). But dunmeshi uses consumption (and to a lesser/technical extent cannibalism as well) as a... metaphor for love and obsession, and frequently eroticizes it. I hesitate to say metaphor because it's honestly VERY obvious lmao. Especially with how genuinely autistic Laios is about monsters and eating them. Then there's also transformation and change that's also VERY eroticized. A lot of the focus of Dungeon Meshi is desire. How people experience it, and just how far people will go for it. Which, again, is super eroticized a LOT. All done in a tasteful(? not sure if this is the right word but yk) way and not in a surface level "LOOK, SEX!!!!!!!!!" way. Not that there's anything inherently WRONG with being horny and not being like profound about it but I'm just trying to make a point lol

Now to specifically talk about the anime since that's what you mentioned wanting to watch (though I REALLY reccommend the manga, it is fucking GORGEOUS and there are so many hilarious panels that haven't been brought over to the anime, despite how well it's been doing with that so far. It just happens with turning a manga into an anime yk?)! It's doing a really good job so far!! The only issues I have are relatively nitpicky (I've gone into detail abt it if you wanna see here) and more of an issue with modern anime overall so! They're doing a really great job of translating over from the page to the screen and the voice acting work (both the original japanese and english dub) is really fucking good. And I don't typically like modern english dubs. The layout of the episodes is really nice so far too, centering around the "dish/es of the day" without feeling too constrictively like your typical "monster of the week" type episodes. It helps that Dungeon Meshi as a media itself strikes a really good balance between that and its storytelling. Though again. Laios is genuinely SO fucking autistic about monsters and eating them lmao and the series focuses on him/his party so! There's so much good in depth discussion about monsters, both their biology (especially in relation to their taste hehe) as well as their natures, and ecology!

I'm also really a fan of netflix releasing the episodes weekly instead of dropping them all at once. It's refreshing coming from netflix specifically considering their... track record.

But anyway yeah! TYSM Marty for coming to me about this and letting me go on an autistic talk about it!! I only apologize for not being more specific, but a lot of my dunmesh posting (reblogs anyway since I'm pretty sure the posts I've MADE about it have been relatively vague??) is already pretty spoilery and I'm a firm believer in a first watch/read being as spoiler free as possible!! It makes subsequent rewatches/rereads all the more fun to me personally <3 Though that's obviously up to you lol

dungeon meshi looks cute where can i find it if its been animated?

it’s currently releasing on netflix on a weekly schedule, only two eps are out rn

[randomidiocyncrazies]

okay. i see the dungeon meshi anime is gonna be on netflix, but do we know if it’s a weekly or batch release? (oh please please please let it be on a weekly schedule............)

[lastnightspants]

I know we're so close to finding out but does anyone know what the actual Dungeon Meshi release schedule will be like?? I saw Netflix and thought it would release the whole season in one go, but I just found an article saying it's simulcast on Tv/Netflix?? If it's getting an episodic weekly release we're so fucking back
