Dungeon Meshi, or Delicious in Dungeon, is airing on Netflix right now. It combines cooking and food with incredible world building in the form of nuanced Monster Biology and an interactive Dungeon Ecology. This scientific take results in a believable setting that blows the standard run-of-the-mill fantasy dungeons out of the water. Couple that with light-hearted humor and a goofy cast, and you've got the makings for a sleeper hit!
Plus, I mean, it just comfy af. Trigger does it again.
Welp. Didn't expect the tonal shift in the most recent episode :) I just like the anime
Get ready for a ride, it won't stop until the end.
Tonal shift lol it's gonna stay that way after this episode
I didn’t know that this anime had such a good DND ecosystem logic. It’s probably better than frieren ,mushoku tensei and rimuru tempest anime when it’s comes to ecosystems
@@hairglowingkyle4572Kinda, but there will still be a lot of those light-hearted comedic moments and a lot of cooking. The story is great and will go to some absolutely "WTF??" places, but it won't abandon the things that were important in the beginning.
I mean... it's always been and will always be about hunting, meal prep, cooking and eating. To live they need to eat... and everything eating entails, including killing/be killed
*talking about how it’s a silly lighthearted adventure*
Episode 11:
The rest of the story
well Falin did get lighter 💀
@@daneespenocilla please don’t spoil I haven’t seen the manga so I only know what’s been shown in the anime
Episode 12 💀
Episode 13 💀💀
Speculative biology so tasty...
Dungeon Meshi scratches the same itch that Monster Hunter does for me, the intricate ecosystem created in both of these worlds makes them some of the most appealing fantasy worlds ever made.
SAME! It makes me want more!
To be honest, I think the timing may have been good for Dungeon Meshi. This nuanced approach is something the author did on every level, making the story rather slow burn - and the first major payoffs have just started to hit the anime, just as Fieren reached its finale. Viewers hungry for more after that will find Dungeon Meshi's finished cooking its first course!
As for the future, we've got a lot more of this pseudobiology to see! Though at about halfway through the full story, it transitions from examining the biology of individual monsters, to that of dungeons as ecosystems/superorganisms, and their relationship with humans. Even getting into the sociology and philosophy of what food means to people.
Oh, nice! It's been fantastic so far so I'm excited
@@Chris_Cringle The Monster Tidbits delve more into monster biology too, Tidbits 1 and 2 cover the anime's episodes I believe
Although I’m pretty sure there’s still the bonus chapters that give explanations about the monsters, even in the later chapters. So I can cope that they’ll get adapted too lol
I really want to see more fantasy stories with biology/ ecology concepts. It's always a bit weird when monsters are a narrative force acting against humans, rather than part of an ecosystem (and surely wary of human civilisations).
As someone who loves studying biology, Delicious in Dungeon is my all-time favorite! Not only is the ecology and biology fascinating and solidly thought out, the art and story writing are truly top notch!!
Chefs are just hungry Alchemists.
It's said that Chemistry was born from Alchemy...
And that Alchemy was born from someone being very hungry trying to understand what things he could or couldn't eat because poison.
I mean... I'm from Brazil. Here we have a traditional dish that needs to be cooked FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK STRAIGHT to be edible, otherwise the cyanide in the food will still kill you...
...How the hell did the natives discover that it was needed to be cooked for an entire week to be edible? I dunno. But obviously was more than just "trial and error".
This (comic book) series has been very popular online for many more years than Frieren's has even existed, so the little jab at the end is a little funny.
This video explains exactly why i love, love, LOVE dungeon meshi compared to any other fantasy media rn. I am also a spec zoology and paleo nerd, general animal lover, so seeing a fantasy show explain monsters in a technical sense rather than explaining them away as demons from another realm or some advance magic sorcery shit-- just like mentioned in the video, they aren't just obstacles to get over, the mosnters and fauna are part of the dungeon, part of the world of dungeon meshi.
No hate on anyone who does likes frienren and whatnot, i see the appeal and i have watched like 10+ episodes before dropping it, but it honestly just made me really bored. I like character driven stories, and the generally slow pacing it has to make us soak up all the scenes and dialogue as well, but the world of frienren felt really lacking and just forgettable to me. When i first saw the solar dragon, i was excited to see maybe some sun or fire related dragon stuff, but was met with a weirdly anatomically structured dragon who was just another obstacle. Every time frienren is maybe shown researching or doing her potion hunts, i wish it explained a little more about how frienren operates and does stuff, i want to see her knowledge outside of being op in combat. I do like their magic system somewhat, refreshing to see new magic be added and not old magic needing to be rediscovered by the main cast to defeat the big bad.
TLDR, Id wish more fantasy media was a little more into the biology, botany and zoology of the world theyre making instead of being so so heavily focused on the race wars they have between elves and orcs
Wake up a new underrated Channel popped up in your recommendation!
😅
Dungeon Meshi's biological approach to their monsters reminds me a lot of Monster Hunter, my first impression after reading the manga is that it's "Monster Hunter with magic and a lot more cooking".
The biology and ecology aspects of this show utterly blindsided me. I went in knowing nothing and ended up getting a a absolute but load of fantasy and biology to dive headfirst into.
Also laios being autistic and surrounded by his special interest wich has a 90% overlap with MY special intrest is a joy.
editing looks sick and narration is good, subscribed
I LOVE SCIENCE ECOOLGY RAHHHHH
I find this series is fascinating because it is the rate fantasy romp that manages to apply rationalistic naturalism to the fantastic in a way which neither kills the sense of magic nor makes the setting seem become a cheap veneer that flakes off on close examination.
The world is rich & interdependent, in a way that doesn't just lurk Round waiting for player characters to stumble upon it. Nor does it turn magic into Science But Sparkly - the origins of magic in dungeons. from SPOILER, offload that into extradimentional weirdness rather than anything too complicated. It's mysterious and scary and kinda unknowable, understood in broad strokes but never reduced to "the ruleset of the universe you can master like a minmaxer".
There's even a reference to After Man in one of the episodes
What What?!? Where?!?!?
Love when biologist write fantasy.
I love fantasy settings with detailed and well explained biology and ecosystems
bro i was watching a video about dungeon meshi and the old sharlayan night music caught me off guard. insta sub
by the way wait until you see the rest of the story lmao (i read the manga a long while back, super cook read tbh)
also this is honestly a super cool take and video!! ty for the upload :D
I get fking giddy when it delves into ecosystem and ecology bc i haven't seen anything like that in an anime ahaha, also bc that's what i major lol
An amazing anime! I love the breakdown.
YEAHH BIOLOGY
The funny thing is thst you "think" you know what the show is about. But... you don't lol. Not even close if you read the manga. Finished it and it was masterpiece. The "shift" didn't happened still, and wont until... spoiler...
The FFXIV music...

Thought slime monsters would have biology more comparable to slime molds like being a type of protist or at least jellyfish with being jelly like but still very much solid or even zooids with being colonial organisms masquerading as a singular organism so well it basically _is_ like those water spirits not snails and slugs.
WARNING THIS MANGA ONLY STARTS LIGHT HEARTED IT GETS DARK
Darker. It's not like it goes Berserk full moon. But, the stakes do increase and what they have to do some times does get darker. It also somehow doesn't lose it's kind light hearted tone.
@@XShrike0uhhhh… sure
Watch the spanish dub
Wake up, honey, new Cringe Corner video just dropped
Who?
Let's just say, you don't need to know.@@youdontneedtoknow7548
