Each week I will be posting the corresponding chapters for the episode.Chapter 37: Harpy
Chapter 38: Chimera
bump for you
Done.
>>265861162Thanks for posting
>>265859377Thanks!
>>265859703Yeah, that's a great "oh shit" into >>265859769>ENTER THE DRAGONmoment. Really, and I REALLY mean that, nice moment.
>>265860112In this illustration, Holm has two golem cores down there in his equipment, right?Is he a licenced GnomeGolem™ activator?
>>265859769Legitimately such a great boss monster design, it has a personal connection to the party, is both an apt bruiser and a powerful mage.Also falin is either huge or she got bigger from the transformation.
>>265862814She's a big girl.
>>265860909>monster part is detailed as hell>human part is a stick figure
>>265862921It's like how you can identify a porn artist by how they draw lips or fluids
>>265860165>what you said was rightthis moment is going to heavily influence kabru's choices
>>265862996Or how horny a director/animator is by how they choose to change a scene in an adaptation ...
>>265859657This incubus motherfucker is the funniest dude in the show
>>265859896Poor Tade - that's got to hurt!
>>265862996laios truly is one of us
>>265863363Yeah, it's here that Laios demonstrates to him that he's not just a weirdo who can't see the big picture and that he has the capacity to do what must be done, if push comes to shove.
>>265861135I like that shot of the archways
>>265861162Based Laios
>>265859985>Falin sees a dog>tries to pet>gets bitten and reactsI fucking can't believe I missed this bit.
>>265866658Poor Falin. She just wanted to make friends and have a meal.
>>265866658it’s also a bit of a callback to the post-dragon flashback laios had. Falin really wanted to meet a kobold and that was probably her first time seeing one
>>265862814tall-man species (huge) + northerner race (huge) + Touden family (huge) = she big
>>265866348Good stuff
>>265859600Chilchuck knowing the word ninjaI guess I'll file it under senshi knowing a lot of modern medical concepts in the context of food or marcille saying calorie
>>265859657I wonder if that panel in the bottom is supposed to show kabru's halfling heard that
>>265859856monster Falin seems to have more dexterity, but she is still so weak compared to the Red Dragon. The feathers do nothing as armor, and even the dragon scales on her legs don't require a mithril blade to pierce them.
>>265865747I was thinking more that it shows that laios is willing to listen to kabru
>>265860329This was my favorite animation in the episode, it is very hard for manga to convey mass like animation can
Been reading through the manga for the first time and I'm nearly done. How has the anime been? Worth giving it a watch?
>>265867504That's a valid take as well. Either way, it showed Kabru that Laios can be more than the ignorant buffoon he initially comes across as.
Which Dragon is the coolest /a/?
>>265868389Very high quality, has a few of your classic trigger-isms (a few more still frame than you'd ideally like), but overall doing a very good job at capturing the appeal of the manga.
>>265868553White dragons
>>265866658i missed it too. it's subtle. good catch.
>>265868553White dragons are cool.I love how the author makes the monsters just as expressive as the non-monster characters. He didn't have to show the image of the lighter red dragon sweating while the dark red dragon yelled, but he did.
>>265860225For some reason I thought she was feathered all the way down, but I guess she did have skin patches this whole time.
>>265869136>He
>>265868389It is really good imo. I only read a bit of the manga before the anime (just so much manga backlog lately), and the anime made me want to read the entire manga next.>>265869320Oh shit, I didn't know. I'll probably check out her other works later.
>>265869458>her other works That's not a lot of things Anon
>>265869458Before DM she only did a couple of collections of one-shots
>>265869136Boy and girl red dragons not dtf at all
How big is Falins dragon cock
>>265869588three anyhologies and a few oneshots aint nothing, plus the anthologies are good. we had dump threads for all of them at the start of the season.
>>265860857>glazing at it, entranced, as if it were a jewelThis bit is one of the most memorable lines for me, it´s what i think about when i remember Falin.Truly a shame they left it out in the anime.
>>265868553Are there any animals in nature that have rivals like that? That sounds cool as fuck
>>265860225Birdtits lol.
>>265870414Too many to count - but as an occasional /an/fag watching the Urban Rescue Ranch over the last year or so's had a good few examples. Group of four Capybaras just pissing on one of their members to the point the one had to be permanently isolated, a super aggressive Rhea being being dommed by his own newly pubescent son...TL;DR Mr. Popo says pecking order.
>>265870414Typically, group animals will have males who'll evolve primarily to combat with other males. Gorillas, lions, hippos, and I think moosen are all known for having males tailored towared beating/maiming/murdering other males. Red dragons seem more avian behavior-wise, whereas white dragons are more mammalian. Makes me believe that dragons aren't actually directly related to each other, but that they're more a convergent evolution sort of deal. Kinda like how most animals eventually evolve into becoming crabs (carcinization).
>>265871320it’s either that or they’re a wildly divergent branch if animalia. in the bible the monster section has them sorted by categories like arthropoda and crustacea, but dragon is its own classification.
>>265871495Wonder what the classification criteria for dragons are? For chordates, it'd be having a spinal chord and a tail and some other shit. I'm guessing it'd be the presence of that one organ that allows dragons to store and combust biomatter to use as fuel for attacking prey? Six limbs (two of which being internal and benign extremities for most dragons)? I hope Kui goes full autismo on fantasy creature biology and behavior. It's genuinely the most fascinating thing about Dungeon Meshi, even more than the food.
>>265859769Animeonlies, how was this moment?
what a episode...
>>265872014very cool
>>265860029That's almost a pantsu shot
Why did shuro give up exactly? I don't understand why he just said fuck it and left
>>265873249Didn't want to travel with a criminal. And Laios.
>>265859377The real Marcille is the one with frog bootsThe real Laios is the one being hit by NamariWho is the real Chilchuck?
>>265873249he's just so tired
>>265859769Iconic
>>265873249>Why did shuro give up exactly?He doesn't just believe Falin is dead, she believes she is worse than dead. An abomination that will live out her existence as a slave to an evil sorcerer and forced to commit horrible acts against her will. Even if she dies her soul is bound to the dungeon to be resurrected as a monster again or forced to wander as a spirit forever. He loves her too much to kill her himself so he sees his only option as telling the elves everything, letting them kill her and bringing her body out of the dungeon to free her soul. It's conflicting for him because he wants Laios to succeed in saving Falin and telling the elves would screw Laios party over and possibly get them imprisoned. He gave them the bell in hopes that in the 1/1000000 shot they don't die to the sorcerer and save Falin, he can help them escape to the east.
Highlights of this episode: Kabru dies, but unfortunately gets resurrected and Shuro gets a beating, but still a faggot.Extreme lack of Marcille, very bad.
That animation of Falin scurrying up the wall like a chicken was so good.
>>265876530
>>265876565needs some frantic flightless wing flapping to get lift
>>265876565Saved. Bless you anon.
>>265876565Poor girl has been abused by complete strangers. All she wanted to do was say hello.
>>265872014busted my ass laughing at the line ''sugoku kakoi''
>>265861162Kabru ended up being really cute. I'm glad that we're going to see more of him.
>>265879699Hate Kabru.
>>265859400>Chocobo
Is shuro a jobber?
>>265860290FWEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEBUNZUUUU DORAAAIBUU
>>265876565I love how her human and dragon limbs sometimes sync up, like she's still not used to operating them independently. dungeon meshi mecha AU when?
>>265882353Just like when Marcille synced with Basilisk.
>>265879699based and brupilled
>>265882569I liked this dress. Later Kui moved over to the light tunics a la antique Greece or something like that, and towards the end, this picrel style.I don't think we ever got an elf with these baggy, big puffy clothes anymore. Is that something padded with wool for warmth?
I have noticed a marked absence of our indian "friend" in the threads. Wonder if he's doing alright?
>>265861162Thank you for posting.
>>265883596DON'T JINX IT
>>265859464Weak love. Just gives up, if you're not gonna pursue love and you're not gonna fuck your cat what else can you do?
>>265859811I hadn't really noticed how she was fucking splatted, the anime's red showed it well
>>265861162Thanks, OP.
>>265859811Adding the boob bounce to this scene was very cool and very necessary
>>265887967
>>265887895>is KUI queer?How's that even a question? She's literally the icon of body positivity and diversity in the mangahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0Hr2_uX73o
>>265859966>>265860244Hearing her cast makes it a lot more obvious that she still has memories and intellect. When I first read this chapter, I thought of her as more like Nina (some intellect and memories, but reduced to dog-level, borderline parroting) until she and Thistle fight the Canaries and she becomes much more goofy, protective, and Falin-like.
>>265873249Had enough of westoid bullshit
>>265859769why did she get wings again?
>>265876565That's a lot of work for the dungeon cleaners
>>265861050MOGUMOGU
>>265860329Falin scampering up the building reminds me of pet lizards trying to run on hardwood floors.
>>265859377is it ok to pick up the series from here or did the anime skip a lot in the earlier chapters
>>265860909Again they only showed subs for Kabrón's lines while Laios was yapping.
>>265891395Not a lot but I think it's at least worth going back to read the cut scene from the surface chapter (22 I think).
>favourite manga>being adapted by my favourite studio>they're doing a really good jobBros I can honestly barely believe that this exists. It's so good I wouldn't have even thought to fantasize about it.I'm so happy.
>>265866273Same. It's a nice metaphor for the uncertain future they're walking into.
>>265859788Keeping Laios's analysis but cutting Senshi's side-eye made that scene a bit tonally confused, it became some weird halfway between shocking and comedic
>>265860441Aha, so this face WAS indeed anime-originalPoor Marcille feeling ashamed
>>265861135this is actually where i thought the anime would end before two cours got confirmed. it's a bit far in for even 13 episodes but I figured they may rush things a bit to reach it.
>>265893765I thought this was the ideal endpoint for two cours to be honest.
Why does he feel the need to be mad? He just fucked off mere seconds after she got eaten. It didnt occur to him that they may have gotten to her faster and avoid all this shit if he stayed and work to rescue her? Should have guilt tripped him into that to not get reported.
>>265893765Would've been a pretty grim note to end on, pretty sure the casual audience and studio execs would not have liked it
>>265893765Given the amount of content to cover, I felt Griffin Soup would have been the ideal chapter to end on as it wraps up Senshi's backstory nicelly and still gives the characters an epic boss fight to end on.Ending at Egg & Bacon feels like there's quite less material for S2 to cover
>>265894961Griffin is way too random of an ending for anime onlies
>>265860189Kabru looked great here in the anime
>I love her smile.>She has a cute smile.>Her smile puts me at ease. (ya~y)>(a butterfly)>Isn't... / Isn't mine the only weird one there!?>Huh!?>(Hey!!)
>>265896145Is it a forced smile, or is this Laios' imagination being bad so it's like "default smile"?
>>265896250It's referencing this panel
>>265896749....that doesn't change the question actually
>>265893984Come on anon. Don't be autistic about it.Is not hard to understand why.
>>265862846FOR YOU
>>265896997Thank you. I've been waiting for hours.
>>265868553This proud craftsman.
>>265897545He knows what he's doing.
>>265860956It's so interesting how Kabru decided to try and help Laios after he met him.I forget the full context of it, but later on he has that thing about "I wanted to be your friend", and I wonder how much of that was actually true. I feel like there was enough reason for him to back him up through it all after he saw Laios' potential.
>>265868553>Which Dragon is the coolest /a/?Probably wyrms or leviathans, wish they showed off more dragon designs like the hydra.Tbh they did a great job of showing how dragons are apex creatures, but it makes me wonder how a dungeon master could ever be beaten if he can just spam create dragons. Why did the lion want laios' creativity or knowledge if you can infinitely spawn high mana creatures within a dungeon? Just make 1 billion green dragons or crush them inside the dungeon.
>>265900649It's annoying.
>>265900649What if they eat all the dragons you spammed?
Does anyone have a high quality version of this page? I'll even pay for it if the official version is a higher quality than this shit with the jpg artifacts. I'm going to print all of these shirts for myself.
>>265903217>attached and didn't postAlright let's try something else
>>265861162only one extra today?
>>265903217Wouldn't it make more sense to reproduce the designs by hand accounting for perspective ?Even if you had the original file from Kui it would be awkward to change into a printable design.
>>265903217they were selling these in a nip event
>>265903917>character shirts are real merch>con only>kabru’s isn’t even one of themI just want my infinite respawn shirt dammit.
>>265904507>>265903917I own a shop so I'm able to just make them. Might even buy an ad here and sell until the cease and desist.>>265903777Probably will need to send them to my graphics guy to get anything worthwhile
>>265896749What's that Marcille face actually about? Is it just a moment where Marcille is doing a genuine belly laugh for some reason? Did we ever see that in the manga?
>>265906816I don't think we ever see it, but considering how red her face is I think it probably happens after Laios and Marcille have their celebration drinking party.
>>265905314Post results in a future manga dump thread
>>265896145
>>265908033Thanks
>>265859966
>>265896145Tl anon if you're still here, can you do this one?
>>265912355has been TLed before, look into archive - nvm found it based on the words>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/263229228/#263234616>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/265406506/#265455140
>>265912584Thanks
It is getting really really fucking hard to wait every week between episodes because I want more. But I just don't enjoy manga as much as anime. I dunno if I'm going to be able to last though. Especially after the season is over. If a season 2 isn't immediately confirmed I will probably just dive in.
>>265912656Later DM manga has amazing art
>>265860127The boob bounce was a nice addition
>>265912656Seeing that hat edit gave me whiplash. Fuck that one guy.
>>265914901Is that image verboten? I'll refrain from posting it if that's true. I don't come into the threads very often because I am wary of spoilers. I saw that image one time and I thought it was funny.
>>265915792https://desuarchive.org/a/search/image/Qrdvv6LfpkLhw3XFcqeW4A/
>>265915863Ah. Well then. Gomen gomen. I thought you might have been talking about the meltdown guy (who has seemingly been defeated by the mods).
Why did Falin reject the Jap? Btw how is Falin interested in the opposite sex at all? She's supposed to be the cute airhead with bimbo body?
>>265916682>cute airhead with bimbo bodyno?
>>265916701>no?
>>265912656>Senshi>AutismDo anons not know what an hermit is?
>>265916682she's like her brother, want to travel and do what they want. Getting married mean being giving up that freedom, especially in the world setting of Meshi. It's quite clear that Farlyn leaned it from watching Laios step. He too doesn't like to be tied down, nor does she.
>>265864569It's amazing she apparently survived long enough to get healed instead of having to be resurrected, ogres are amazingly tough I guess.I wonder how much Ogre-blood Laios and Falin have, it mentioned in some extra that it was pretty common for Tall-Men and Ogres to interbreed in the Northern lands.
>>265917052So, Falyn and Laios will be together forever, nice.
elven boys belong to ogre women
>>265918732Fleki is female
>>265859985RIP undine
>>265860986>Marcille sitting aloneThey are discriminating her...
>>265918732I wanna be tade's chair
>>265919976oh?
>>265912656>>265914901>>265915863I hate that he has singlehandedly ruined a funny meme for me for all eternity
>>265916862It was a disingenuous shitposter hell-bent on shitting up any and all Meshi threads until recently
>>265920775Fleki's gender was unconfirmed at the time and Kui published an illustration showing of her bare tits and nipples, so people assumed she was a dude because of the lack of censorship and her flatness
>>265920467death wish
>>265859769I wasn't following the series at the time but I remembered when this chapter dropped here and the threads were nuclear.
>>265921581i honestly would have already forgotten him if people didn't bring him back up. the most mystifying thing is how he ever got replies
>>265924884anon, like 70% of his replies were his own samefagging
>>265915792no the autism hat images are hilarious but there's one guy who's misusing themignore the haters
>>265918646lol no, things don't end nearly so happily for Laius
>>265924098yeah our first glimpse of Mega Ultra Chicken was bonkers
>>265860127the unrealistic one is the heart blow, too much of a chance it'd be deflected by the sternum
>>265860549the anime did this sequence so well
>>265860612bottom panel is a fairly accurate summary of american-japanese relations since the tokugawa era
>>265860956implication that dungeons also actively foster new potential lords among the adventurers who enter
>>265918732middle kunoichi makes me hnnngg
>>265873249He's a pussy ass bitch that's why, that should have been obvious, he ditched the rescue mission once to do his own failed thing then has the audacity to get mad at Laois and talk to him like he knowns or care about Falin more, he talk about Laois being clueless not being to read the room when this cunt can't tell Falin doesn't like him.
>>265861162sankyu
>>265929039
>>265926943I think it's drawn correctly, Kabru is striking from the side, diagonally and upward to avoid the sternum. His hand position implies his blade is horizontal to slide easier between ribs. There's also a visible twisting motion in the lung strike, and Kabru saves the heart stab for last which is the correct thing to do. Kui might have some serial killer vibes in her for this level of attention to how to correctly do the stabby hurty..
>>265892318this series inspires a lot of nice artsy fanart
>>265921625He's still here, he just changed tactics to posting bad western fanart because there are too many people posting in dm threads right now to samefag without getting banned. I remember when he did it in kimetsu threads
>>265860656Why are they such pricks, especially about using black magic? I bet they would have gone:>WHY DIDN'T YOU RESURRECT FALIN?>I can't that would mean I'd have to use black magic>THIS FALIN, HOW COULD YOU NOT AT LEAST TRY?!Poor Marcille.
>>265931827The amount that offensively bad western art gets posted is generally really low, absolutely not him.
>>265869162You're not wrong, you're just early>>265860441If I was directing the adaptation I would include a shot of Marcille death-gripping that staff.
>>265931827I don't think that's the same guy. The bad fanart guy is just being a nuisance, while the boring poster seemed to be in a crusade to make it seem as if /a/ didn't like DM.
>>265924098Yeah I was there, it was great.
>>265860225>was able to pick up people and break their necks barehanded>in the anime she has trouble ripping the shirtThey fuck this up in the anime.
>>265935109He seems to do it sort of slowly first in the manga too. It's not about lack of strength and just the general confusion that caused her to do it in the first place.After she got stabbed in lung and other places, she probably felt uncomfortable in her chest, so trying to correct that, she instinctively ended up ripping the thing that caused some pressure on her wounds.
>>265935509I was expecting a slow but smooth rip, the animators could have done it better.
>>265935792I guess the jitter was unnecessary
All things considered, he did nothing wrong
The Jarman mentioned Falin's feathersweren't from harpies. When the fuck was that explained?
>>265935979I wonder who will voice him. Will we even hear his voice in this season?
>>265936184
>>265936365Eeeeh, does that really prove it wasn't harpy bits?Also>Breathe a jet of flammable gas>Ignite with magicCool as fuck.
>>265859377What would Laios think of Kiribati armor?
>>265925027but those were easy to spot because they were agreeing with him. he got plenty trying to genuinely argue with him or drag the threads down even more by memeing on him, which is some of the most braindead bait biting i ever saw
>>265936207>Will we even hear his voice in this season?No he speaks for the first time in chapter 60 and season 1 will end on chapter 52.
>>265873249weak asian genes
>>265936207I heard some rumours that it will be the voice of the narrator. How much that is real is unknown
>>265936184I forget where it was mentioned but you can tell the feathers aren't from being a harpy chimera because of two reasons:1. other dragons have feathers, so it's in the genome2. there are zero harpies in the soulspace during her final resurrection scene when she's talking to the Demon
I'm addicted to this image
>>265936365Cute!
>>265937679Oh the soulspace that's a good point.
>>265859657"Niko" means smile?
>>265866348Explain the kellogs meme
>>265871077Does /an/ like URR?I’d think they’d consider Ben to be actually too much of a zoomer or actually cringe.
>>265860656Says the woman that puts collars with killer ghosts to slaves so they don't escape...
>>265938351
>>265938351https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellogg
>>265860834Shuro doesn't deserve her.
>>265860857She also has a weird fixation with invertebrates' gender
>>265860909>Another air intake Kui will forget that
>>265935979He fucked up thistle.His buddy fucked up captain.
>>265939036he and his buddy are the same thing
>>265939050Isn't there's more than one demon?
>>265861050Tade tanked that
>>265939081Different aspects but ultimately the same being. Kinda like each one is a different limb.
>>265939081no! they're all the same thingthe infinite is infinite and there might be more than one personality for different species (the mushrooms are hinted at having their own form of the wish granting demon) but the different appearances of the demon are just appearancesit's important to clarify that the demon is a form of the personality and will of the magic that is still connected to the infinite source of magic in another dimension, and it gets laundered through dungeons into the ambient magic of the dungeon meshi world
>>265939149>>265939194Well definitely did a lot of things wrong then.
>>265860714Thanks to the anime I actually noticed Chil protecting mick through all that and I really love that about Chilchuck's character. He's always looking out for his fellow half-foot as much as he can. He even founded the half-foot guild to make sure the half-foots of the island weren't being mistreated. Of all the characters in the series I think Chilchuck is the one who must grew on me
>>265860779Honestly nice to see it looking like he's had some sense knocked into him
>>265939194I wonder if all demons lost their hungrr for human desire or only the winged lion
>>265861050I just noticed Kuro actually looking like he'd like to try the omelet
>>265939703the lion IS all demons
>>265939020That's just Laios brainstorming, cutting a throat doesn't stop you from breathing if there is no actual obstruction. The chimera has 2 brains, some other redundancy or different vasculature, that's why cutting the throat didn't cause critical bloodflow disruption.
>>265940138she does not have any redundancy outside of the extra limbs actuallyeight is too many limbs desu
>>265939081Think of them as being hairs. The roots are all in the same body in the other dimension, but they all look/act differently because they're getting hair dyed by desires and expecations of the humans around them.
>>265938110yes
>>265859577it's interesting to notice that the anime gave them nipples but not the manga
is this what they mean by chicken breasts
>>265940483pigeonmaxxing
>>265940567pigeon gf who will suck your dick for breadcrumbs and give you warm down feather hugs
>>265940483They have nipples in the manga, not in all scenes but they are there.
>>265859788What's the modern equivalent of those ninja girls? Outfit, body type. They're cute. Shame there's nobody like that irl
guys guys guys questiondo you think that Marcille's succubus was a calculated play to disable Chilchuck with laughter while also paralyzing/charming Marcille or was that a happy accident
>>265911226That scene is funny in the anime. All her cute facial expressions
>>265941066>What's the modern equivalent of those ninja girls?The modern equivalent would be a cute girl wearing a ninja costume.
>>265941197H"H"HHAAAAAA
>>265941158Nah Chilchuck was an idiot.
>>265860127>>265926943>>265929647I contemplated killing myself by doing something like this. I was planning on stabbing between the ribs 3 and 4 to pierce the heart, then slash my lower neck just above the sternum and shoulder blades.
>>265896136Post it pls
>>265941484you wouldn't be able to do it
>>265935792She grabbed her tit. Nice.
>>265941527
>>265860656Your momies an outie?!
>>265941684Cute. Beautiful blues eyes and shade of brown.
>>265941728>They would just kill her.That's the point. He wants to free her warped and enslaved soul from the dungeon. He doesn't think bringing her back from that thing is possible.
>>265941557Why not? I have seen videos of retards stab themselves dozens of times over several minutes. I wouldn't be able to do that so I need it to be quick and fatal.
I picked this up today. Just want to say there's something about this artist's art style that allows the girls to be very cute. The elf, the cat, the sister are all so pleasant to look at. I wish the cat had normal tits however.>>265869019>subtlelol lmao it's as blatant as it can get, you can only miss it if you were speed reading (which I was)
The manga is good but the anime is bad??? How come
>>265940518DIOS MIO
>>265942250>I wish the cat had normal tits however.faggot.
Anyone noticed how they all gave marcille shit but they never once explained why using dark magic caused issues?
I love big chicken girl but my only problem is that I could never hug her properly
>>265916848damn, she had time to put mascara AND lipstick before the fight?
>>265941201absolutely repulsive, get that 3d shit outta here
Imagine the pubes
>>265938781Lol, samurai were scrawny manlets, they could feel strong because everyone else was a scrawny manlet too. >>265941201That's pretty acceptable, kui's designs aren't retarded so they can be done in real life without being cringe
>>265942620>elves say black magic bad>bad enough they'll arrest anyone involved in it even if by association>elves are fuckstronck and WILL strongarm their way into countries to arrest youIt's bad because bad things happen to those involved in it, and that's enough for a halfling father of three who's just looking out for his fellow halfmen.
>>265944469Meanwhile, in Mongolia...
>>265944661So it's bad like having oil fields without nukes is bad.
>>265942620Laios brings this up at the end. Saying that if the Elves could explain to him why the magic was banned then he would consider releasing Marcille to them
>>265942620It draws energy from an alternate world and it's that same dark energy which created the dungeon and filled it with monstersit's seen as evil
>>265944768the difference between a rice-based diet and a meat-based diet
>>265944996So she used an alternative energy source to cast the same spell everyone else does to resurrect people, and when shit went bad for entirely unrelated reasons it's the dark mage's fault I see how it is. This is why germany's shutting down their nuclear power plants and buying russian gass through third parties.
>>265945088YesIt's like people abandoning nuclear energy because of chernobyl>Yeah chernobyl was a disaster, let's ignore the causes of the disaster and just abandon nuclear energy as a whole
>>265942620>Anyone noticed how they all gave marcille shit but they never once explained why using dark magic caused issues?Yes and if you are an anime only you'll have to wait until season two to find out why. Society on the whole is taught that it is the worst thing ever, it is completely taboo and most anywhere if they suspect you of using it they just kill you. Elves at least with only give you multiple centuries of prison time.>>265944810>So it's bad like having oil fields without nukes is bad.No. It's not that they don't want certain nations to have it, They don't want anyone to have including themselves, period. They view it similar to playing with the lid on pandoras box. The only people authorized to use it are specifically in service of stopping the potential calamity it can cause.
>>265945088>>265945149>t.
>>265945428What potential calamity, though?
I wish for the author of this series to drown in money.
>>265945088She also basically routed infinite power through a human body and connected a soul directly to infinity, leading to Falin being a stupid powerful mage.
I wish for the author of this series to drown in cum.
>>265946107She basically [Headcanon]
>>265946052Okay, going full spoiler mode, read at your own risk.Ancient Magic connects to the dimension of a powerful wish granting entity they call a demon. It grants these wishes to feed on our desires, we are its food. Contact with these demon is what destroyed the ancient society. While just using individual ancient magic spells may not lead to anything, the fear that you may contact the demon and open a gate for it to get into our world is the great fear. The problem is that if they tell people this truth, while most would avoid it as you want, some will always take the carrot of getting wishes granted no matter the consequences. To keep the demon out all of society must reject it. For that reason its existence is a state secret, the public reasons for hating the dark arts are fabricated and anyone caught even studying it silenced. That said there are already gates that allow through into our world deep in the dungeons, that is because the dungeons themselves are prisons to hold it back.
>>265942620>why is black magic "bad"?
>>265946545She literally walks you through what she did, she made Falin's body part of the dungeon to channel infinite power from the satan dimension through it directly. It's also why Falin had so much magical power afterwards, because she was still connected through the dragon soul.
>>265946568No I know that, but the demon didn't come to our world though black magic. It was a natural freak occurrence. And none of the bad things that happened after Marcille resurrected Falin happened because it was black magic. It's just elven fearmongering. >>265946755She was connected to the dragon soul because they used dragon parts, and the dragon was part of the dungeon thus under Thistle's control. Not because she used black magic to do it. If they'd brought a cart of sheep nothing would have happened.
>>265946853Anon she still made Falin's corpse part of the dungeon.
y'all being racist about negromancy
>>265859811eeehh-, EEEEEEEHHH
>>265946853>No I know that, but the demon didn't come to our world though black magic. It was a natural freak occurrence.That is how the "first demon" got to their world and it was eventually imprisoned in the first dungeon. The reason multiple dungeons exist is because they kept opening gates to let more of it through in different places. Knowledge of how to open gates is the thing they want to suppress, not just the elves but the Gnomes and Dwarves too.
>>265946920Because of the dragon meat. The sorcer addresses her like he's addressing the dragon, he doesn't even "see" Falin.
>>265947662I don't remember them ever saying multiple demons got through. It's just the one, in some form or another. Did he split up somehow, or did more truly come in? Rereading the flashback I did find that he also mentions a world without demons is a world without magic, implying all mana for their "light" magic comes from the demon realm.
>>265947899Because the dragon's soul completely eclipses Falin's. The dragon meat is just meat, she could have done the same ritual with a pile of pigs but would still have needed to route more mana than she could provide through the body.
>>265948321The meat is part of the dungeon. When the sorcerer calls, it comes. And Falin's made of it.
>>265948376The meat is part of the dragon whose soul is part of the dungeon. The sorcerer basically did the same thing with the dragon's flesh as any given resurrection spell does with cut off arms.
>>265948171Here is where Mithrun mentions they made multiple gates and multiple dungeons. Which makes sense, no need to have multiple dungeons if it only came through once. The way the demon put it is that they are each a different being but share memories, like hairs that all belong to the same creature.
>>265948425Right, but that's the whole point. The dragon is part of the dungeon, Falin is made of dragon, the dragon obeys the Sorcerer. Where she got the energy from has little to do with it, from my reading. >>265948469Ah yeah, I'll give you that one. Thank, I didn't remember that detail.
>>265946853>>265948376basically,Marcille assumed using the dragon meat is safe because it doesn't have a soul anymore - monster souls are not tied to body, see the wargs. So it should be safe material to include in the resurrection.She didn't know (or notice) that the soul of the dragon was bound to the dungeon just like the souls of people, because Thistle had the dragon under special spell.That means the soul was around and as Falin was healed, so were the dragon parts and the soul was made to reinhabit the body just like Falin's soul.Honestly, it was a miracle she wasn't reformed as a chimera right away. Maybe the spell was so crafted to explicitly be refomring Falin's shape.
>>265948531Also I was trying to find the source on what makes common use of ancient magic dangerous, turns out it was in the extras. Here it is. Basically that type magic itself is now sentient and the powers that be find it just to dangerous to tap into that dimension anymore.
>>265946853>but the demon didn't come to our world though black magicIt may not have but it originates there and is still connected to infinity even if it is bound in a dungeon. The extra materials give an origin for the demon but the main story itself also makes it clear the demon is the source of magic as well by permeating itself throughout the world.>none of the bad things that happened after Marcille resurrected Falin happened because it was black magicMarcille tampering with the dungeon's seals, thus connecting to infinity, is what drew the demon's attention to her, and what made Thistle even warier, thus increasing the complexity of his desires which thereby reshaped the dungeon, triggered the Canaries to delve deeper, and thus started the chain of events leading to Marcille NEEDING the demon to survive and accomplish her desires. While the demon is powerful, within the dungeon it's limited to obeying its master and for someone to contact someone with limitless power and near-absolute subservience, it does make the elves' fear of ancient magic completely justifiable.
>>265935792
>>265949355
>>265942620well anon there's a reason that the portal to the dimension that Marcille drew magic from is contained at the bottom of a dungeon
>>265949425I'm not a ryonafag, but
>>265948899>and thus started the chain of events leading toAll stuff that happens long after the Faligon eventYeah, reviving Falin had a butterfly effect for sure, but none of that had happened when they were blaming her for the chimera. >it does make the elves' fear of ancient magic completely justifiableI think that's fair now that I've refreshed on the backstory.
>>265949563Then that means it's safe. The reactor works!
>>265949623>none of that had happened when they were blaming her for the chimeraBecause nobody present for the chimera incident know the truth, anon, they know dark magic is cursed and then a person brought back by dark magic turns into a fucked up chimera. Again, while the actual concerns are incorrect because of propaganda, those present are within enough knowledge to blame Marcille.
>>265949715She tampered with dangerous forces, but it worked safely. Everything else was completely out of her hands.
>>265942710she becomes smaller later>>265944810more like having nukes without nukes>>265947899it's the same thing that Namari is warning about here, this is the reason we were so pissed about this scene getting skipped
>>265947899>>265949820oops
It's so cute that despite everything Falin didn't forske the fragment of the red dragon when she was getting revived the second time.
>>265949800>but it worked safelyMy brother in christ Falin killed eight people, the people she killed are not wrong for being pissed at Marcille and blaming her black magic with what they know. Are you autistic?
>>265949963What they know is literally shit, because it wasn't the black magic that caused the chimera.
>>265950073Answer the damn question, Sheldon.
>>265949715wrong, but using ancient magic gives the demon a chance to fuck with you and monkey paw or genie twist your spell a little bitthis is the main difference between gnomish and elvish magic, how much lawyerspeak you're willing and able to put into your spells to prevent the demon from fucking with youluckily surface magic has been laundered through the dungeon by being eaten and consumed so it is no longer attached to the primary will of the demon so gnomish magic works just fine on the surface
>>265949933she greatly enjoyed being a fucked up chimera monster, you can see it in her eyes when Laius gets stunned when she calls out to himtell me this is not the face of lording it over your elder sibling
>>265950306no u, the black magic was not the cause of Falin
>>265950566Where will Sally look for her marble, Sheldon?!
>>265950535looks like a hungry animallike a lizard that's scene a fat juicy bug to eat
>>265950615they're fucking retarded but it's not their fault>>265950928have you never had a sibling? that's what it's like
>>265944768>Job to windhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze_(typhoon)
>>265945055And then the japs milled the rice and developed full blown malnutrition, the kind where the lack o vitamins kills the person
>>265946853It's like nuclear physics, if you could ban that branch of knowledge you would be out a lot of medicine and energy but there would be no nukes. That's how the elves think about it.Don't even let the field of knowledge exist if it can lead to knowing the dangerous truth. Let the plebs know only about structured magic that uses their own mana.
>>265951337>their own manathe demon's mana that has been digested by the dungeon and released onto the surface, new and fresh and disconnected
>>265951236True, but something similar was happening to European grain eaters at around the same time for the same reason.
>>265952522Those fucking grains
>>265952778Her face looks weirdly slappable. Perfect cheek for it.
Why are some elves martians?
>>265939522The dungeon masters did lot of wrong things, he just granted their wishes.
>>265953937drow
>>265935067Falin's massive feathery udders dragging across the floor kind of ruin the tragic vibe of the picture.
So who braids Marcille's hair after the end of the manga? Pattadol?
>>265954773Mayjack
>>265954773 I do
>>265944768Some things never chance.
I wonder what sort of fun weapons you could make from Dungeon monster bones or teeth
>>265914206You can see the wrist twisting as he stabs her in the kidney.Such good detail. This is how you should do it.

>>265959925please call her mega ultra chicken
>>265959925Can she really glide? I thought she could just control her fall.
>>265959925>DC 15 strength saving throwHow did Tade fail this?
>>265959532I plan to go there on 30.
>>265960617yeah, the extras say she's capable of gliding.
>>265950073It was black magic but it wasn’t Marcille’s black magic.It is like if I stabbed a person 3 times and the person don’t die but when the person was trying to escape me some crazy dude stabs the person with a similar knife 2 times but does so in a deadly way. I’m not the murder but it would be hard to prove that and people will think I am anyway.
>>265959925>mix an adult red dragon and at least a 9th level cleric >CR 7 This wouldn't wipe a party of level two characters with the numbers they had.
>>265867392There's a whole fantasy Japan as well. That's just the Wizardry setting.
>>265960696She could use fire with some fire spell timed at the moment she uses the flame sack. A even smarter way would be to just release a gas cloud on the enemy and then ignite it.
>>265870024The dragon wants to mate with another dragon. Falin doesn't want to, but she can't even decide not to cast a spell that hurts her friends less, so she is tapped to restrain the other dragon with magic. Dragon mounts other dragon and Falin feels everything. Cannot stop crying as she ejaculates, her first time ever.
>>265870414It's thought that kangaroos evolved to rival a sort of dog-like marsupial that's now extinct, since they instinctively drown dogs when they can.
>>265944469>>265944768The Mongolians did note how dangerous Japanese Samurai were>As a result of the war, intellectuals of the Mongol Empire regarded Japanese swords as a threat. For example, Wang Yun, who served Kublai, and Zheng Si-xiao, a surviving retainer of the Song Dynasty, mentioned in their book that "Japanese swords are long and extremely sharp." They argued that the combination of a violent samurai and a Japanese sword was a threat.And that was before they started making swords combining soft and hard steel. It is exactly by analyzing the broken swords from Mongolian invasions that they improved the design making stronger and lighter blades.
>>265961002she cast a spell that Marcille specifically knew how to avoid, anonshe killed zero members of the Touden party in her attack
>>265871906Dragons could be either creatures from a different world or some kind of ancient chimera ultimate weapon. They branch into too many forms including shellfish-like critters so they might be a whole branch of life like arthropods or maybe even a separated kingdom.
>>265961296> zero members of the Touden party in her attackthats because literally none of them except Laios actively approached/attacked her. (and Laios DID come pretty close to dying multiple times in that fight)Marcille and Senshi were sitting on the side-lines the whole time and Chilchuck was hiding with Mickbell. The others were throwing themselves at Falin/actively grabbing her attention by attacking, which obviously would lead to them becoming targets.
>>265875612I agree mostly to it but I think he also considers Falin unbeatable. She is way more powerful than the dragon that btfo them the first time and even if they do beat her the sexy sorcerer will revive her again. Basically you can’t kill her because that would draw her boss attention but you also can’t contain her because she is too strong. I think it is more “nobody can beat her because she is OP and have infinite lives” than “I can’t hurt my love”
>>265954590So you dehumanize anyone you're attracted to.
>>265961578I think it's because of the expression.She looks more horny than sickly and debilitated like one would expect in a scenario like that.
>>265890214Thistle is stupid
>>265888089such grace
>>265961531> considered falin unbeatableI dunno about that, I think the issue in this case was moreso just that the people fighting it were wholly unprepared for an attack, Falin killed three of them before they even realized what was actually going on, and the rest were mostly Kabru's group pulling (relatively) unsuccessful attacks because they suck at fighting monsters, especially weird ass monsters like this. (+ in the case of Tade, Shuro just gave her confusing orders that she couldn't follow all while he, marcille, senshi, and Laios up until the last minute, all stood dumbfounded at the sidelines.
>>265960753The answer is to kill all the survivors.
>>265868553>red dragons are autisticLaios was right, it should've been him not her.
>>265959925you're gonna need to pump those numbers up. Even with the nerfs dungeon meshi hits the Red Dragon with, its at least a CR 10-12. The Touden party was consistantly taking down dragons as a full squad, so we can assume each of them is statted to be around levels 8-10. Inferring that the ninjas are at least as powerful, but Kabru's party is weaker, we are looking at 15 characters leveled between 4-11. Acknowledging that Izutsuimi izutsumi ran away, Shuro, Liaos, Senshi, Mick, Chuck, and Marcille REALLY join in the fight, and that Tade just sprinted at it, a group consisting of Hein, Bene, Maizuru, Kuro, Holm + Undine (a CR 6 monster at least), Dia, Rin, and Kabru was effortlessly crushed by Faligon. I recommend adding in legendary actions, an auto grapple with the claws, and while it isn't a spell, her big fuck you aoe at the end.
>>265961632She's crying. You're horny so you stop seeing her as a person.
]>>265868553Leviathans have the unexplained ability to summon infinite seawater out of their ass so them..
>>265935067
>>265946920That's only because they used the dragon's meat though. All Marcille do was use the demon's literal infinite magic to accomplish the task. If they brought a dozen, or even a hundred magical healers who didn't use Marcille's spell just to cast healing magic, it would have accomplished the exact same thing. The reason why is because the dragon was an entity of the dungeon, and fusing that to Falin is what was the issue.
>>265962069>Leviathans have the unexplained ability to summon infinite seawater out of their ass so them..>check out how hard I can pee
How does misiril react to her black son sleeping and dating around with gnome and hussies?Is she a jealous soncon?Is there a reason she shows up to his flat uninvited and sniffs his dirty boxers?
>>265962354I doubt she pays attention to his social life that closely. If she saw him hanging around using his charms on the ladies she'd probably just go "Awww are these your little friends?? Why don't we organize a play-date!"
>>265953937Jet-black skin, pure-white hair, and bright red eyes are an albino-like mutation said to be connected to the royal lineage, so any elves who are born with those traits are treated as royals.
>>265942620It's like the 5 monkeys experiment. Most people don't really know what dark magic would cause, they just know elves arrest whoever related to it. Apparently, that's a good enough reason to ban it, and some undeveloped places even go full witch hunt mode.
Falin's cooch has been digested, reconstructed with monster parts, remodified again to fuse with another creature then remade again to to being human.Would you even want to stick her dick inside her?
>>265962943>would you even want to stick her dick inside her
>>265859509way funnier shot with chilchucks reaction in the anime
>>265962943yeah
>>265949355>>265949425Yes much better.
>>265962943Yes!
>>265919976HOLY SHIT SHE KEPT AN ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE CHARACTER AS A FEMALE INCREDIBLE
>>265942620Shuro explicitly stated the reason why it's bad is that it cause the issue of Elves showing up to disappear Falin and everyone related to her. This is also why he calms down after Kabru hammers in that the alternative was leaving her dead.Then later everyone is mean to Marcille because the person she rezzed just showed up as a dragon chimera and killed 90% of them.
>>265963069If you do it right it should be possible

>>265963782I_didn't_think_it_would_look_like_that.jpg
I'm kinda loving the sibling as monsters art.Maybe the siblings disappeared early in their adventuring. Later Marcille comes to the dungeon, officially for her research, unofficially to find out what really happened to Falin.
>>265963839Cringe. Laios has a canon fursona so use it.
>>265963827Go ask one.
I hate the samurai and chilchuck.
>>265963839They're just gonna have to redo it for Laios' actual monster form.
>>265963827dunno but I have never use deorant before on an average day neither do my other asian friends. Although if you're fat and sweats a lot, you will still smell regardless of race.
>>265963881This is what he is doing…Jokes aside, from personal experience asians can stink but some don’t and I even know one whose natural body smell is good. At my workplace there is one Japanese guy who smells bad after working but I don’t notice any smell on most of them.

>>265964378What game? Why is it tranny? Did the game change genre? Does this word even have any meaning anymore?
>>265964162IIRC everyone smells to some extent when they sweat, the main difference is that AFTER the sweat dries, those with the dry earwax gene don't stink.
>>265963968jesus, look at seductively chuck's spine is curving here
I haven't had the chance to follow most threads so I'll ask now: do manga readers feel satisfied with the Trigger adaptation? What are its weak points, e.g I remember the OP and ED were not well-received.
I hate Kabru
>>265964432I think he mistaken the drama from another chinese gacha game.
>>265964521There are some episodes when it feels like it's not putting much thought into the storyboarding and just copying the panels in a medium where it sometimes doesn't translate as well, and some episodes where it's not a problem at all. I guess inconsistency is an issue? But desu I would much rather have that than something consistently middling. Also some people are divided on the music.
i LIKE kabru because being an attractive psychopath is important to my self-realization and self-image
Post chicken
>>265964753I find the whole flesh control and mind rape aspect unsettling. I'd rather she actually be dead.
>>265964793I think Kui should've had Falin actually die at the end especially with Laois' dream of her saying goodbyeIt would've been a better, more poignant and narratively neat ending. Learning to let go, and all that
>>265964521So far, so good. A few to many still frame slideshows, music is okay, voice acting is 10/10, not a huge fan of some of the goofier faces but I don't hate them either and they cut a bit here and there. 1st OP is incredible, second is meh. I feel like the other show I watched this year, Frieren got the better adaptation quality wise, nothing was cut and it heavily elevated the source material while this is just Meshi in motion(mostly) with some slight scissor marks here and there. In terms of tone though, I feel they got everything right.Overall, 8.5/10 experience, this was made with love and I hope season 2 keeps the same quality. There is so much I want to see animated.
>>265964955dark laios not being used is criminal, its such a cool design
>>265965070Imagine a spin-off.
>>265964585>Gnome girl video has the most viewsBased
>>265964521I’m one of the people who dislike the OP but I feel like most people are ok or even like it. I’m just a bitter old man yelling at the kids. The biggest downside of anime is that you can’t realistically get all the content of the manga in it. Dungeon Meshi plot and cast grows organically but that is a problem in an anime series when even after all the cuts it takes over 10 episodes to get to the really exciting parts, if they were to animate all the important bits it would take the entire season to get to the dragon fight and the early cooking episodes feel like they are just filler without anything important going on on a superficial level so it is quite a challenge to make an anime for mass consumption like this. I think Dungeon Meshi deserved the same treatment Made in Abyss received but that isn’t realistic and even MiA got their issues. Overall it is a good adaptation, the episodes vary between 6 and 10. The last episode in particular was great. Some cut stuff in past episodes might affect the experience of anime onlys.
What would Namari think of seeing all Naruto ninja wearing leg pouches?
>>265964585Out of all characters he is the one with the strongest aversion to monsters. Likely saw his own family be killed by them. He would never even consider fucking monsters.
>>265965144kys
>>265964521is a dam solid 9.while some few extra info gets cut the dapatation has been amaing imo.Only thing i can fault is the sometimes clash between serious and comedic moments. like the failing skull clifhanger followed by LETS PARTY ending.but is minor stuff.
>arknights collabthat is a such a weird choice.
>>265964824gay
>>265964913Music is amazing (not counting the OPs) but not used well in most episodes so most of the time you barely notice it at all. They seems to be picking up their shit now or maybe they were saving it for the more important parts and since this anime snowballs there are fewer impactful scenes in the beginning.
>>265964793don't worry she gets better
>>265965187They should kept the background music going on instead of the usual ed music in that episode
Monster Laios no magic, but tactical genius?
>>265963673hell yeah brother now that's a boss fight.
>>265860225so trigger added marcille's blush in that scene
>>265965129I just want more Dungeon Lord Liaos. If Kui did a mini series of Laios the Demon King and his antics (since he's the same Liaos in an evil shell), featuriong Black Magic Witch Marcille, Senshi the Slayer, and Chilchuck (prisoner; castle hot tub user), I would be able to pass on from this world peacefully...
i just want more of these charcters and world in geenralis really hard to think everything already ended and will end again in the future.
>>265965205Laios is going to eat a collapsal, seaborn or rock cancer slug and then it's going to be over. I wonder if Kui will be writing the story because afaik she hasn't started a new project yet, apart from a few chapters here and there for prologue and epilogue.
>>265965257We know what Monster Liaos is and he barely has human intelligence.
>>265965302she didn't blush in that scene, but Shuro sure did.
>>265965402It's funny that his vision of the ultimate monster includes inane stuff like poop that turns into forests but not intelligence. It really shows where his priorities are.
>>265965437my man met a full on furry werewolf and went>oh but you don't BEHAVE or THINK like a wolf. dude knows what he wants.
>>265965398To every beginning, an end. Such is life. Enjoy the ride while it lasts and don't fret about how it ends.
>>265859377Man, I can't believe I waited seven years to see this animated and Trigger actually adapted it well
>>265965451monster Laios would demand dragon-like behaviors
The magic is so fucking cool in this show
>>265965586im glad theres no retarded magic systemthey bog down so much modern fantasyits like explaining how a gun works in the middle of an action movie
>>265965624There is Falin trying to teach Laius magic in a flashback and failing completely because she does magic in a more intuitive way while Marcille is all technical and accurate.
>>265965624Yeah , and I like that there is almost no fucking flashbacks, I fucking hate that shit.
>>265965744>>265965765By flashback I mean Frieren's or other recent anime type of flashback, when it's the main way to move the plot forward it's just awful
>>265965816I liked how Boogiepop Phantom was made almost entirely of flashbacks. Never watched Frieren.
>>265963673It's nice that you're trying to be creative, but do it with a real system like PF1, 3.5e or CoC.
>>265965902>Boogiepop Phantomnever watched it , maybe it's good, depends how it's used
>>265965437You don't need intelligence if you instinctively act perfectly every time and feel good doing it.
>>265966021Some people like it some hate it. Most of the anime is set around a single event, each episode are the events from one character pov. At first you are completely confused since the second episode seems to have nothing to do with the first but little by little the pieces start fitting in the puzzle.
>>265965920Fuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuu.
imagine this running at youhttps://twitter.com/nami_haru/status/1784477023991460103
>>265965528very cute
>>265966100That was horribly hard to read. Where is this cringe from? Changeling?
>>265965902>>265965816freiren is just written poorly
>>265966572im glad we didnt get to marcile motivation of the studying of the dungeon in S1.some really nasty comparisions would have surfaced with 2 elves and their dear ones dying of old age, casuing fanabse shitposting.
