Fun detail you can see: Marcille's eyelashes are uneven after she comes out of petrification since they broke off one. I think Dungeon Meshi is really good at stakes and real consequences. A setting where return from death is possible makes this really hard. Usually adventure shows either have single life in danger or the whole word needs saving. Ryoko Kui does mitigate this a bit by making resurrection only possible under certain circumstances - soul is tethered, inside the dungeon, state of the corpse and the meat + energy requirements. At the same time death is clearly still a painful and traumatic event. The conditions also ensure that it's still possible. If you think about it, noone we care about has actually died so far. In dungeon meshi instead we start off with a certain death and raise against the clock for successful resurrection. Now our objective is finding Falin again and escape. The goals and stakes keep evolving, but success rarely depends on stopping someone from dying in this work. Also the ending illustrations are once again by Kui herself.
It's not multiclassing yet it's just Magic Initiate right now, a couple of cantrips and a first level spell but he loses his ASI XD Chilchuck's screech when Senshi is trying to teach him, a late 20s guy, the birds and the bees is hilarious in both sub and dub
As someone with allergies, these Dryads are the most vile creatures in the entire dungeon. The little mushroom man could so easily be the imagery of a loading screen for a video game. EDIT: "The youngin's must be fed." Remember that line.
"And now, the anime turns serious..."
The Party: "Nah."

I love the info on petrification first-aid response.
"Become a durable little boulder shape"

The illustrations in the outro were drawn for the show by the original manga artist
you might want to consider getting "Dungeon Meshi Adventurer Bible" The writer sells a book that has all the trivia and doodles in it.
